@neiltyson is there any reason why Americans keep with the Imperial system? The rest of the world moved on. -
@battlepanda_OR
@neiltyson why should we change it? -
@Nexus974@neiltyson Thats a fair call, I'm sure there have been some great debates for pros and cons to either move or stay. -
@battlepanda_OR
@neiltyson why fix it if it's not broken. Not interested in doing something because everyone else does it -
@Nexus974 @battlepanda_OR@neiltyson SMH. That's the typical 'murican attitude. "Near misses" up the wazoo b/c of conversion problems. -
@boydman1124 @battlepanda_OR@neiltyson it's my attitude. I don't speak for the rest of the country.
