They use the metric system in science for obvious reasons.
quote:The cost of the mission was $327.6 million total for the orbiter and lander
However, on September 23, 1999, communication with the spacecraft was lost as the spacecraft went into orbital insertion, due to ground-based computer software which produced output in non-SI units of pound-seconds (lbf s) instead of the metric units of newton-seconds (N s) specified in the contract between NASA and Lockheed. The spacecraft encountered Mars on a trajectory that brought it too close to the planet, causing it to pass through the upper atmosphere and disintegrate.
Odd...doesn't that make things messy?quote:Op zaterdag 2 januari 2016 16:19 schreef Joezi het volgende:
In the construction industry in the Netherland, and worldwide, we still use English standard measurements. They are converted to the metric system.
Yeah kinda strange if you look at this:quote:Op zaterdag 2 januari 2016 16:24 schreef magnetronkoffie het volgende:

As long as it's restricted to just inches (which are fairly easy to convert from top of ones head anyway), I'd say it's doable .quote:Op zaterdag 2 januari 2016 16:40 schreef Joezi het volgende:

Well, only retards prefer 'friet' as well. It doesn't exist, yet they still want to believe.quote:Op zaterdag 2 januari 2016 14:54 schreef Deska het volgende:
Here we call patatoes kartof and fries kartofki. So it is patat.
I think patat / friet is a better discussion than metric or imperial because only retards prefer imperial.

Also, when Canada switched from imperial to metric back in 1983, the switch contributed in an event that turned a Boeing 767 into a glider.quote:
Didn't know inches could be measured that way.quote:Op zondag 3 januari 2016 00:49 schreef Hondenbrokken het volgende:
Imperal system of course. It's logical, because there are 12 inches in a foot.
If you take one third of a foot, you have 12/3=4 inches. In the metric system, a third of an meter would be 33.33... centimeters.
Everyone who likes the metric system instead, must be a snobby and chauvinistic Frenchman.
That source is even older... and yes I know they still use feet and nautical miles. I was talking about S.C.I.E.N.C.E. How hard can this be to understand.quote:Op zondag 3 januari 2016 00:38 schreef Light het volgende:

And aviation still uses feet to measure altitudes, and (nautical) miles for distances. Not to be confused with imperial miles.

maybe not officially but here we are using imperial measurements still often in day by day conversationquote:Op zaterdag 2 januari 2016 16:37 schreef Joezi het volgende:

Most former English colonies dont use the imperial system anymore
Most people still use imperial here, even the kids born after 1983. Mostly for distances (miles), lengths (feet/inches), surface area (square feet, sections) and in food preparation (tablespoon/cups).quote:Op zondag 3 januari 2016 00:38 schreef Light het volgende:

So you use miles for distances, even though the signing is in kilometers. That must be confusing. Same goes for the other stuff, mixing metric and imperial isn't making life any easier.quote:Op donderdag 18 februari 2016 00:29 schreef jeroen1976 het volgende:

It took me about 8 years to finally get the hang of it... but sadly I'm now converted myself and think in feet and cups. Crap.
