  • To be honest I regularly convert between units. Especially mm, cm and m (sometimes km) and liters to kg. And g and kg. So I dont really understand how that isnt neccessary for the majorjty of America. Does noone build stuff, or I dont know, put a picture up a Wall, stuff like that? I know you said it is easy to half stuff in imperial. I dont really half stuff that often? When measuring stuff I mostly add, subtract etc. I very rarely just take 50% off whatever I measure. What do you do to need so much halfing stuff? If I need rope I want a specific length of rope not half the rope that is on the wall.


  • I doubt that very much. Just yesterday I checked out the product page of the new DJI Air 3 and compared it with the Air 2. One of the new features is a bigger sensor compared to the old one. So I wanted to see how much bigger it got. For some reason though DJI only lists their sensor sizes in fractions. The Air 3 has a sensor size of 1/1.3 Inch and the Air 2 1/2 Inch. To be honest. I thought shortly about that and then concluded I would have to do math to compare those two and did something else with my life. I know how to convert between different bases but honestly - why should I? This is weird! Why use random switching fractions for anything? Fractions are only useful to display numbers that would be hard to express in decimal. And that is mainly 1/3 and 2/3! Which to be honest I dont encounter that much in my life.
