Thread: The Trump Presidency

  1. When I went to school for carpentry a few years ago all the schematics were prnsrily in metric. The orders too. After a bit of a learning curve I started to prefer it. Base 10 is just better.

    To be perfectly honest I don’t visualize politics as a spectrum. It’s always seemed like a perverse way to orient social issues that leads to pointless competition.

    1 year ago isn't old, you fossil.

    I doubt this. How many of you are measuring yourself vs being measured by the doctor. I think you guys could make the switch even there if you wanted.

    Also, measurement standards don't really matter so long as they are consistent.

    I haven't found that to be the case for working with wood. For quick and dirty math, inches work better because 12 is easily divided by 2, 3, 4, or 6 while ten is easily divided by 2 and 5. Once you get into fractions of an inch, it's a different story.

    When I design metalwork for electronics, I use mm exclusively, though.
    I think there's a benefit to knowing both.

    It doesn't really matter.

  9. BREAKING: AP Sources: Steve Bannon attorney relayed questions to White House during House interview, was told when not to respond.


    no wrongdoing was done, though

  10. Didn't you say Bannon was a lying sack of shit with racist ideals that was ruining America on Day -1 of the Trump Presidency?
