Metric is better ...... for Europeans. But because USA progsters forms a lot of this forum, good thing to have both systems here.

Interesting compare.

There's a point where "avant-garde" and "experimental" becomes "terrible" and "pointless,"

2 questions for you.

How do you measure that rod? metrically or imperial system.

Where do you get your hogs heads? Sam's club/Costco or your local Hogs head filling station.

No, the metric system is better, coming from an American. Seriously, did some president of ours get a tip from some English dude and was like, "no thanks, we'll be just fine" out of pride?

Are you more than 186cm / 6'1' ? Or in the other words, me, also with converted units.

I like shorter women, not these giraffes. Twice in my life, I had a girl who was almost as tall as I am, but mostly, my girl was 160-170cm tall. Which makes, umm, 5'2-5'4 I suppose
