said by elwoodblues:said by PX Eliezer:said by elwoodblues:Look at you a wannabe Canadian  learning the metric system.
Metric system was legalised in the US in 1866, one year before the formation of the Canadian confederation. Really? Interesting fact! Yet here we are 146yrs later and America still uses the Standard system. True, Canada is more metric than the US.
I mean, having [10] provinces, can't get more metric than that.
But the standard system does have its advantages. A pint of beer is just about right.
And the standard system is not without its rationality. In US measure, a pint of water weighs exactly a pound.
We do use metric. Soda (pop) tends to be sold in 1 liter or 2 liter bottles. And of course all medication dosage is metric.
Canada uses some standard too, yes? The Canadian Football League still does everything in yards.
--------------------------
The French originated the metric system as part of the French Revolution.
Where they went overboard was the Metric Calendar.
Instead of weeks, each month was divided into three periods of 10 days each. And the people got one day off every 10, instead of one day off every 7. Needless to say, this was not popular.

said by elwoodblues:I was going to say TECH can be cheaper up here. It was cheaper to my Kingston FB Dimms from Amazon, drive to the border and pay CBI then buy it up here.
When I was looking for a laptop for the kid, just an inexpensive one, $269 in Canada (best buy) with 3 GB of RAM, exact same unit in the USA, $279 with 2GB of RAM (only difference).
booze and milk is still a lot cheaper state side though.

2nd down and centimetres to go.
That would work so well....
And instead of 10yds for a 1st down you'd have 9m 144cm LOL |

I saw 91 this morning at a $1.34, hopefully it comes down a bit more as that's what my car requires. |

TGPT is saying that GasBuddy's 99 cents/litre prediction is wrong.
TGPT says 1.09/litre.

Re: Gasoline Prices Below 99 Cents/Litre By Christmas To cushion the blow to the taxpayers for the upcoming huge tax increases to pay for the close to one trillion dollars in real estate foreclosures in the next couple of years. CMHC should be defunct before the end of this year. |

As the stock market crashes (hint it's about quad what it should be) commodity prices crash with oil being one of the commodities. Next year with America back in recession/depression oil should break the U.S. $34.50 level to the downside which is the last level of heavy resistance. Gas should drop to around $1.25 to $1.50 a gallon in America late next year. |

Yes imperial units of measure are still used every day in construction.
Buy materials in metric, but plans are in ft.
Bizarre.

It's our usual. Just as everything in grocery stores is in metric, but the recipes are in imperial.
And anything related with movement horizontally, it's all km/h, so many km further and in metres, but start digging down and it'll be inches and feet. |
