I don’t mean to be offensive… but this is the dungeon for those that give up… giving advice is futile they have already quit, have a good day and get the fuck off my lawn…

I miss SI units. A lot.
i h8 SAE measurements, do you realize how few countries/industries use SAE?have you ever worked on a buggy in the desert, in the middle of the night, and had a 10mm wrench in your hand when i was 3/8"…
I fabricate fast shit that works in the frontier… and when the motor is metric… and suspension is FUB… how big of a fukup its that…
I do my fab in metric and my “friends” use FUB… they cant figger it out… I multiply by 10… they have to divide buy 32 and carry the one…

You and every other guy out there. Even if SAE measurements were standard, i’d prefer metric simply because i don’t have to divide by 32 and deal with fractions. It’s not like we pay for stuff in fractions… just not intuitive. “hey, here’s 3/8 dollars and 1/16 cents.”

I am in the same boat.
And if most people are - why do we still use SAE at all?
Can you just imagine what it would cost to retool every factory in the US? Oh, and there’s changing all of the American welding and plumbing and carpentry standards. I’m not saying that SAE is better, but it ain’t going away.

I do find it annoying how 25mm things can be sold as 1 inch or 50mm 2 inch.
I wonder how many more years until metric is the official measurement system in the us.
We couldn’t hold on to it for another 100 years could we?
Ina capitalist social economy, money talks and bullshit walks. Make it profitable and the US will change over night.
