Imperial is actually just a couple years older than US customary, it was predated by the "English units".

The gallon of milk makes it incredibly easy to divide it into quarters

How did you reach the conclusion that liters can't be halved or quartered? You could call 250ml a 'quart' if you wanted to.

Metric butter also has markings on it.

Those medical records should be stored digital anyways, and then it's a matter of a few man hours to tell the computer to convert them.

Each measurement system, US Customary or Metric, has it's own advantages and disadvantages.

Imo metric can do everything US customary can, but not the other way around, because it's missing the simple conversions. But that's it. Everything else is same same but different

Btw you can suggest them the Briar messenger app. It can send messages via nearby peoples phones if they also have Briar. So if enough people installed it, a city could have it's own messaging network even when the official one is down

Putin will Krieg, und damit bleiben zwei Optionen: gegenhalten oder aufgeben.

Ich verstehe Leute nicht die sich eine dritte Option herbeiträumen: "verhandeln". Das funktioniert nur wenn beide Parteien Frieden wollen, und wenn Putin Frieden wollte wäre er gar nicht erst einmarschiert.

Im übrigen kommt dein Kommemtar so 'rüber als würdest du dich selber moralisch überlegen fühlen.
