I would have been happy with Dion. He’s not a nutcase. Yes, he has trouble with English. So what? Yes, his party was in shambles — not his fault. I would have been happy because he’s something very rare in politics: HONEST. And that’s why he lost. Stupid sheeple don’t want honest, they want liars who say: everything’s fine, no new taxes, you’re all going to be rich, I’m the greatest . Instead, we got lying conniving world-wide embarrassment Harper. I’d rather have had Layton than Harper. Layton tries to do good even if you don’t agree with him. Harper is just out for himself.
And how, exactly, is the Green party leader insane? Sounds like you’re scared and in denial buddy…

I was responding to Bethany’s comment, not from personal knowledge. I assumed it was some government standard, which by definition, doesn’t have to match standards of normal people.

Even in Canada, a lot of things are still done in imperial, unofficially. Weight and height, for example. I would tell you I’m about 6 feet tall, not 1.8 metres, and weight in pounds, not kg. Temperature and distance are always in metric though.

Well there you go. We’re all bilingual over here. They’ve been trying to convert us for nearly 40 years but we’ve still got both systems running in parallel. When you build a house it’s in metric but when you sell it it’s all feet and inches and square feet. And in the summer we all think in fahrenheit but in winter it’s in celsius. Go figure.

Nobody in the UK uses miles per litre. It’s miles per gallon. There’s another measure which is litres per 100 km but only the Frogs understand that.

By: bad fairie

bad fairie — Thu, 24 Dec 2009 07:20:45 +0000

as one of the first generation of schoolkids they tried converting to metric – if our lessons would have included things this fukking simple: Standard room temperature is 25, maybe more of us would have learned more than a centimeter is about the same size as a sugar cube…. we didn’t even connect sae & metric in school. we’d do a chapter on one and then a chapter on the other, then were expected to think in both without any comparisons… canada converted in a normall, logical way and here is the us still out of step from the world and screaming about how nobody does things our way… / * rant

Well, that’s because the big soda manufacturers are international, and they sell more in countries that use metric than use our system. But England does everything in Imperial (as the Canucks call it), so to do mpg in miles per liter is just weird. ‘Sides, it’s mixing the two systems. But I suspect that there’s probably similar reasoning for that, having to do with their trade with Europe.

To be fair you can buy a soda in the US in such varied sizes as 2 liter and 16 ounce.

I got too tired of getting into arguments with my profs over whether or not the chemical structure of something actually mattered.

Yes, come to the dark side, to the science side. Don’t let those engineers lead you astray.

By: Churj

Churj — Thu, 24 Dec 2009 06:59:44 +0000

Well, I did 3 years of engineering before I decided I’d rather be in science. I’ll be finished my undergrad work in chemistry next term.

By: mabsba

mabsba — Thu, 24 Dec 2009 06:56:14 +0000

Oh, don’t get me wrong. I’m a mathematician; my husband is a scientist; I’ve taught science classes. Metric wins hands down both for ease of use and for conversions. I just have a really hard time when I look at a Celsius temperature — my brain doesn’t say, hey, get a coat or change into shorts.

You did Engineering at UW, cool. Not as good as math, of course. (I did my undergraduate work there.)

By: Churj

Churj — Thu, 24 Dec 2009 06:54:33 +0000

Shame for what? How exactly was anyone in Canada supposed to vote last election… our options were for Harper (who frankly kinda scares me), Dion – a nutcase who couldn’t string a single coherrent sentence in english together and led a party that’s in shambles after a number of major embarassments and scandals, and has no clear direction, and the NDP really aren’t an option. (For those of you who think they are, I live in Ontario and I have two words for you: “Bob Rae”).
Are we supposed to elect green? Their party head is quite literally insane!

By: Churj

Churj — Thu, 24 Dec 2009 06:51:21 +0000

It wasn’t until I went into engineering at UW that I learned the conversions from metric to imperial.

Honestly though, metric is amazing. All you have to do is multiply by 10!
For temperature, celsius is more standardized… 0 is freezing, and 100 is boiling. Standard room temperature is 25.

We have a supervisor at the plant named Jesus (he goes by Tony, but that’s another story). My hubby sent me a picture the other day of Tony with the caption “LOOK! I found Jesus!!!”

When two evangelists cornered me on campus and asked what I thought was going to happen to me after I died, I told them that my mother said if I was very good I might be reincarnated as my cat. They were actually speechless.
