How else would you even do it?

One of the very first things the US govt standardized was the size of screws because it was wreaking havoc with shipbuilding efforts.

There was a stretch of the Florida coast that had metric in the late 90s and early 2000s, but people kept stealing the speed limit signs. They also had a problem with people misunderstanding 100kph (about 60mph) and doing 100mph instead.

Originally it was because the ship carrying the official metric measures from France to the US in 1793 was captured by pirates. More recently it’s because there was a near-revolt when Jimmy Carter tried to reintroduce it in the 1970s in an attempt to make the US even slightly less regressive.

Yep, tho it’s probably mostly because my house is old and poorly insulated.

I live in south Florida and replaced/resurfaced the asphalt parts of my roof with white PTO and silicone elastomer. It lowered power usage from AC by about 10% in the main zone and much more in a smaller zone where the AC ran constantly because it couldn’t maintain the temp (77F) with the black roof. That seems to be in line with current research but YMMV.

I assume you’re using their handle and their blades? If so, have you used other blades before for comparison? I go back and forth between a disposable razor and a safety razor with feather blades, but I always go back to disposable cartridge after the novelty wears off.

Oh, we’re a bit ahead of schedule – we’re only in the Year of Our Ford 120

I will be using “tendentious hellscape” in all of my meeting notes going forward. Thank you.

The ponies I’ve met have all been right bastards, so this tracks.
