wow.. they do GOOD work up to a point..but I have to tell you, if I was having a chopper made in ANY shop.. and I standing there listening to them do measurements in Imperial.. then they are NOT doing my bike. I should be hearing metric or decimal.. NOT "standard" imperial measurements. They are going to be doing machining and other precision work.. imperial is NOT up to that task like metric is.

Majority Americans won't buy a chopper from your shop if you do *metric measurements* , only douchy bag commies have metric systems. This is why the chopper shop booms and yours will very likely close.
Lol, sad but true. Apart from scientific community, majority Americans(your customers) HATE metric, despite they are mathematically challanged, they stick to pain-in-da-ass imperial while non can convert unit quickly.
@zanuha Nah, UK use alot of imperial (being the inventor of the measurement), however officially 'metric', there's still large use of measurements being carried out in Imperial. I use it myself, on purpose some of the time.
I thought you have to be pretty intelligent to love imperial measuring...becoz all the conversions, you can't do them easily with your head...LMAO, sorry for being sarcastic.
Yeah, I see no reason why we use the imperial system. Here is another instance of this kinda bs expect 125 milion dollars went down the drain: google metric mishap nasa 125 million
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
for all those metric loser laughing at this, i have a question for you:
What's the difference between 1746 millimetres and 1842 millimetres. I do believe that is harder than 7 1/4 - 6 7/8.
You are laughing at their maths and not the actual system. The reason you are laughing is that for any able-minded person this sum would be easy and thus showing the strength of the imperial system.
@mroliverstephenson Converting fractions is more difficult than basic subtraction. Think about at what grade you learnt subtraction vs when you learnt about fraction conversion. Metric wins. Far more simple.
@mroliverstephenson easy answer for u fuck? metric system is not only about mms u got more units like cm, m, km. so 1746 mm would be = 17.5 cm much more easier than 7 1/4654654. douchebag...
@mroliverstephenson The strength of the metric system is that you can _always_ and very easily convert everything to whole numbers. No fractions or need to deal with "x inches to a foot, y feets to yard z yards to a mile" it's always 10mm to 1 cm, 10cm to 1dm, 10dm to 1m... and it goes with lengths masses and everything else.
While the numbers may be seemingly bigger, they are very straightforward and easy to calculate with pen and paper.
I've lost track of measurements they're throwing around and I think they have too LMAO... they should just remeasure it already and save themselves a headache XD
@mainchow10 but you're a stupid loser for not letting this ago for so dam long , seriously was this little argument on you tube on your mind after all this time.
@DaylightRobberyCA You'r just use to the imperial system. "A gallon of milk is a good size, but 2L is too much and 1L is not enough."- this is not an argument, it's your personal preference. The imperial system is primitive. It reminds me of times when people used elbows and feet too count distances because they didn't have measuring equipment. As for argument for the metric system:
1. One unit of measurement for each physical quantity
Yeah, and? With the metric system, you have exact numbers on the content of that can. 330ml. What would the imperial system use for that? Half a gallon, however much that's supposed to be? Third of it? 6/8's of it? Or, and actually, that wouldn't surprise me, just invent a new unit and call it "Can"?
@DaylightRobberyCA What??????? 4x250ml cans=1l. 2 cans =0.5l. But why are we arguing about cans? Scientists everywhere even in the US use the metric system. I wonde3r why they refuse to use fingers, nails, boards, feet, rods, pins, logs,cans.1. Its complicated, it's complexity is based on its archaic origins. 2. It is utterly unpractical 3.

@TeamProDUCKchuns Metric is by far better, Only reason I don't use it is because I have to deal with The American alternative. Nothing against Americans.

If america is so stupid, then why are you foreign dickasses typing on OUR Youtube that WE invented? That makes you even dummer! Dumb ass other countries think that where they live is so great when they have more crime, can't even arm themselves, their traffic system is fucked up...Oh and about people here from Cali, well, they are just ignorant and gay, flaming queers!
@Brute4rce First of all, how the fuck do u INVENT Youtube? There were plenty of video streaming sites before Youtube, Youtube was far from invented, it was just another knock-off but it got lucky and got really popular. And more crime? Dude, USA has the highest crime rates within all western countries, I live in Norway and we barely have crime, lowest murder rate in the world! Yes, we can't arm ourselves, but you have higher firearm related deaths PER CAPITA than Brittain and Australia COMBINED.
@Brute4rce you had nothing to do with the creation of youtube numbnuts, you just happened to be born in the same country as the guy who did invent it. chill the fuck out
im from america and use the measurment that we use, but in science class a few years back we learned about the metric system and all the measurments, and id rather use the metric system
@BGLooney95 The way it should be. I havn't gotten why you wont change it already. My guess is:Republicans. From what I hear they're pretty conservative.
@BGLooney95 I think you didn't get me there. Either way, I' think Sweden is amazing. And it is. In most aspects. I think id think the same about the US if i lived there.From my current point of view. The things that bug me about my current country doesn't affect me. It's stuff like that we're selling weapons to countries that we're not allowed to. By our laws. On a national scale. But that doesn't affect me. On the other hand. In the US i see lots of stuff that's fucked up, that would affect me.
Well anything in a Michel moore movie. Of cause I don't take his movies as fact, he makes money of them. But I researched alot of things he mentioned. And most of what he says is true, some of it is rather bent truth than truth.
How is Sweden gay? SCB (Statistics Central Agency, in Sweden) say that 2% of the Swedish population openly admit they're gay.
Definitely a good demonstration of why metric is superior when it comes to actually needing to MEASURE quantities.
It boggles me why American's are so opposed, but it doesn't matter as one day they will eventually be using metric too (unless we change all base 10 units to base 2, 6, etc, but not likely)
Still, when you learn imperial from day 1, it becomes easy to you. Rick knew the values right away, its cuz Paul Sr. kept fucking up and telling them completely different numbers !!
I can imagine a conversation between an American and a German about cars: "My car goes from 0-60 mp/h in 5.9 seconds." The German says "Mine goes from 0-100 km/h in 6 seconds. HA! My car is faster than yours German. Nein, it is not. 60 mph = 96.56 km/h, 62 mp/h = 100 km/h. Your car is slower than mine American." (American gets sad face.)
We are unable to use the metric system..........................half of all classes have that chris rock wannabe in the back of the classromm that makes learning fractions too difficault, Imagine trying to learn the metric system and all ya hear is shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit mofo shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit is hawd, then hearing another say "I heard that" than all the whites go i better laugh or ill be an outkast! cant fit in unless I dumb myself down! Oh well teachers fault anyways, gotta blame someone.
@bodanerius Oh yes, yet I still find extremely imperialistic when I see on an international forums demanding questions such as "feet, please!": I mean, we really made most of the path speaking in YOUR language, and yet many of you retain necessary that we (the rest of the world) adopt your local units, while only Liberia, Burma and the USA have not adopted the metric system yet. How about switching compentences: YOU write in French or whatever, and WE use your system?
@oJKBo Si tu préfères, on échange, on adopte tous le système impérial irrationnel, mais toi tu réponds en français! awww, can't learn a foreign language! pft, lol
@lnenad rofl french is gay because french PEOPLE speak it -- and you do realize that more french men have had more erotic experiences with other males than in any other country right? FACT
@murlocforlunch How tall are you? How much do you weigh? in centimetres and kilograms? i'm 5 foot 10 and i live in Canada, no way in hell i would even know how tall i am in centimetres even though it's on my driver's lisence somewhere. Metric system is good for the Olympics, but it ain't all that....
@quincee33 I measure my height and weight in cm and kilos, i guess thats normal in most of the world actually. There's almost no reason to convert metric units, but as long as Americans keep using the imperial system we'll have to remember how each unit relate to each other.
@sdold Why English? Why not Chinese- more people speak Chinese than English? Why not French-it's sexy and quite popular? Maybe Spanish or Italian? I think everyone should learn their native language and there mus be an international language that everyone should put the same effort to learn. It has to be sexy, simple and easy to learn. Such a language "Esperanto"was created but because no superpower promoted it (as they did their languages), not many people speak it.
Does the term "lingua franca" mean something to you? Just because english is the trade language now doesn't mean that it'll stay that way. Spanish and french didn't either, after all.
@Stinkehund No, Lingua Franca doesn't mean anything to me. That's the problem with foreign languages, the words don't mean anything. Heh heh.
Seriously, you're not going to get the world to convert to "Chinese", that would be pretty goofy. Only the Chinese are going to be interested in speaking Chinese. But if they want to make it big in the rest of the world, they're going to need to start learning English, not French or Italian or Swahili.
@Stinkehund My point is that the international language shouldn't be a language of the current superpower. Everyone should put the same effort to learn it. It should be easy to learn.It has to be neutral (not linked to ant country). Finlay it should be esthetically nice. Learning a neutral language is easier because it is not seen as foreign intervention and doesn't have the negative connotations. (usually the conqueror imposed his countries language on the conquered ).
@seezarorest No, the international language is already English for many things, such as aviation. Since it has a head start, it should be English. It might be that Mandarin (I assume that's what you mean by "Chinese") is spoken by many more people than English, but it would be pretty hard to make a keyboard with that language as native.
English is already on its way as a second language for many of the world. It should be the standard language. One's native language should come second.
@sdold It is now but so was French, Spanish and Latin. The Chinese language consists of many dialects and Mandarin is one of them, so Mandarin does not equal Chinese. Are u suggesting that Chinese don't use keyboards? The facts are that its hard for you to learn Chinese, but it's also hard for a person from China to learn English. Why not make Esperanto an international language, you can master it in few months instead of learning Chinese or English.
@seezarorest Yes it's hard for me to learn Chinese, but fortunately Chinese (again, I assume you mean Mandarin due to its popularity) is not going to be the language of the world.
If you go to Wikipedia's home page and look at the number of articles written in the various languages. English outnumbers them all by a wide margin, because English is fast becoming the predominant language for people who deal with the rest of the world (not Chinese rice paddy farmers).
@seezarorest Chinese is not a language. There is no language called Chinese. There are two popular Chinese laguages: Mandarin and Cantonese which are usually referred to as Chinese. Mandarin is not a dialect of Chinese. This is saying the Indian language and saying Hindi, Kannada, etc. are just different dialects of Indian. This has nothing to do with your discussion, but just thought I'll clarify the point.
The imperial system is anacronic. It's based on body parts inch - thumb, feet. There was a time where the smallest measurement necessary was about the size of a thumb, anyone's thumb. As technology advanced more fine measures were needed but there were no smaller body parts so they went to half an inch; then later quarter of an inch, and naturally the progressed to eigth, sixteenth and 32th of an inch, and they could go no further.
@amieres123 Yeah, but Calorie is not SI-unit, so it's not really part of metric system, Joule is the right unit for energy, and it's beautifully linked to power and time (1J is the amount of energy which is transferred with 1 watt power in 1 second.)
And actually 1 liter of water is not actually one Kilogram, temperature of course changes water's density so it's not exact.
And SI-unit for temperature is Kelvin, not Celsius, although it makes no difference in temperature differences.
this is why american cars can only get 200 horse power from a 6 litre V8.

@Brute4rce First of all, how the fuck do u INVENT Youtube? There were plenty of video streaming sites before Youtube, Youtube was far from invented, it was just another knock-off but it got lucky and got really popular. And more crime? Dude, USA has the highest crime rates within all western countries, I live in Norway and we barely have crime, lowest murder rate in the world! Yes, we can't arm ourselves, but you have higher firearm related deaths PER CAPITA than Brittain and Australia COMBINED.

Well anything in a Michel moore movie. Of cause I don't take his movies as fact, he makes money of them. But I researched alot of things he mentioned. And most of what he says is true, some of it is rather bent truth than truth.
How is Sweden gay? SCB (Statistics Central Agency, in Sweden) say that 2% of the Swedish population openly admit they're gay.
Where as 2.9% in the US does the same.
Sweden is happy though. US isn't?

Definitely a good demonstration of why metric is superior when it comes to actually needing to MEASURE quantities.
It boggles me why American's are so opposed, but it doesn't matter as one day they will eventually be using metric too (unless we change all base 10 units to base 2, 6, etc, but not likely)
Still, when you learn imperial from day 1, it becomes easy to you. Rick knew the values right away, its cuz Paul Sr. kept fucking up and telling them completely different numbers !!

@sdold Why English? Why not Chinese- more people speak Chinese than English? Why not French-it's sexy and quite popular? Maybe Spanish or Italian? I think everyone should learn their native language and there mus be an international language that everyone should put the same effort to learn. It has to be sexy, simple and easy to learn. Such a language "Esperanto"was created but because no superpower promoted it (as they did their languages), not many people speak it.

Does the term "lingua franca" mean something to you? Just because english is the trade language now doesn't mean that it'll stay that way. Spanish and french didn't either, after all.

@Stinkehund No, Lingua Franca doesn't mean anything to me. That's the problem with foreign languages, the words don't mean anything. Heh heh.
Seriously, you're not going to get the world to convert to "Chinese", that would be pretty goofy. Only the Chinese are going to be interested in speaking Chinese. But if they want to make it big in the rest of the world, they're going to need to start learning English, not French or Italian or Swahili.
sdold 8 months ago
@sdold I think that in the current geopolitical reality we should start learning Chinese ;)
seezarorest 8 months ago
@Stinkehund My point is that the international language shouldn't be a language of the current superpower. Everyone should put the same effort to learn it. It should be easy to learn.It has to be neutral (not linked to ant country). Finlay it should be esthetically nice. Learning a neutral language is easier because it is not seen as foreign intervention and doesn't have the negative connotations. (usually the conqueror imposed his countries language on the conquered ).
seezarorest 8 months ago
@seezarorest No, the international language is already English for many things, such as aviation. Since it has a head start, it should be English. It might be that Mandarin (I assume that's what you mean by "Chinese") is spoken by many more people than English, but it would be pretty hard to make a keyboard with that language as native.
English is already on its way as a second language for many of the world. It should be the standard language. One's native language should come second.
sdold 8 months ago
@sdold It is now but so was French, Spanish and Latin. The Chinese language consists of many dialects and Mandarin is one of them, so Mandarin does not equal Chinese. Are u suggesting that Chinese don't use keyboards? The facts are that its hard for you to learn Chinese, but it's also hard for a person from China to learn English. Why not make Esperanto an international language, you can master it in few months instead of learning Chinese or English.
seezarorest 8 months ago
@seezarorest Yes it's hard for me to learn Chinese, but fortunately Chinese (again, I assume you mean Mandarin due to its popularity) is not going to be the language of the world.
If you go to Wikipedia's home page and look at the number of articles written in the various languages. English outnumbers them all by a wide margin, because English is fast becoming the predominant language for people who deal with the rest of the world (not Chinese rice paddy farmers).
sdold 7 months ago
@seezarorest Chinese is not a language. There is no language called Chinese. There are two popular Chinese laguages: Mandarin and Cantonese which are usually referred to as Chinese. Mandarin is not a dialect of Chinese. This is saying the Indian language and saying Hindi, Kannada, etc. are just different dialects of Indian. This has nothing to do with your discussion, but just thought I'll clarify the point.

The imperial system is anacronic. It's based on body parts inch - thumb, feet. There was a time where the smallest measurement necessary was about the size of a thumb, anyone's thumb. As technology advanced more fine measures were needed but there were no smaller body parts so they went to half an inch; then later quarter of an inch, and naturally the progressed to eigth, sixteenth and 32th of an inch, and they could go no further.
amieres123 1 year ago
The metric system has one unit for distance, one for volume, one for weight and so on. Furthermore, they're all beatifully linked to each other:
volume to distance - a liter is 1000 cubic centimeters
volume to weight - a liter of water weights one Kilogram
0 degrees Celsius - freezing point of water
100 degrees Celsius - boiling point of water
1 Calorie - the energy required to raise the temperature of one liter of water one degree Celsius
....
amieres123 1 year ago 6
@amieres123 Yeah, but Calorie is not SI-unit, so it's not really part of metric system, Joule is the right unit for energy, and it's beautifully linked to power and time (1J is the amount of energy which is transferred with 1 watt power in 1 second.)
And actually 1 liter of water is not actually one Kilogram, temperature of course changes water's density so it's not exact.
And SI-unit for temperature is Kelvin, not Celsius, although it makes no difference in temperature differences.
