I mean, I'm planning for my L3 rocket to be called Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster for a reason.Especially through the bottom of a (19.2 oz) pint.

But you converted from pounds when you stepped off the scale. If you live in the US, you're stuck with US Customary* units, at least a little.
* Not the same thing as imperial. The biggest difference is in liquid volumes. The US pint is 16 US floz, as you know. The imperial pint is 20 imperial floz, which is (approximately) 19.2152 US floz. Other difference are less significant.
Why thank you!These sorts of jokes make me want to be 21… you’re a bad influence @jqavins
Actually, I don't understand: Why do you need to be 21 to drink in the States? You legally become an adult at 18, so why don't your laws just allow you to drink when you come of age?Why thank you!
Because your brain is not fully developed until 21 and so alcohol will still be damaging to it. Ps when can you start drinking?Actually, I don't understand: Why do you need to be 21 to drink in the States?

But that one is imposed by rental companies, not law.Or rent a car until your 25 years of age... Unless your family has lots of money to add to your charge card to cover total destruction of the car.
Okay, now I have to tell one of my favorite Catholic Church stories.Their rhetoric also contained the unmistakable scent of "liquor is sin."
Mind your P's and Q's.I remember in the Pubs I was in , visiting the UK for business. The Pint glasses and shot glasses had red lines on them that the Bar Tenders had to make sure always lined up on the line; no one getting shafted or over poured.

20 in Japan.I think it's 18 everywhere except America... I'm not sure, I'll need to check it out.
Those laws are beginning to fall.There are many things you can't do at 18 years that you must wait to 21 years; like buy a handgun.
What's the age of majority there in other respects?20 in Japan.
In New Jersey when it went to 19 it was July 1, and I turned 18 on December 13. It went to 21 a year and a half later, January 1, so I was grandfathered by 18 days. I didn't learn to drive until I was 21, because I just had no need to until then.In Arizona when I turned 18 that was the drinking age.
Shortly after it was upped to 21. Those who could already drink were grandfathered and could continue.
Very confusing for those checking ID.

Hold it! Is the US refusing metric a national security thing? If no one can read stolen documents then they are useless!! It’s almost genius… stupid but genius…
Let's not forget about the Gemli GliderGo look it up..
I'm ambidextrous: I work in both. Canada is Metric, yet most of my suppliers & customers are in the US..
(And then toss in some 'industry standards: like sheet metal sizing [gauges vs actual thicknesses] pipe diameters, and wire gauges..
The US is one of three countries who use the Imperial system (US, Burma & Yemen.)
And here is an interesting story about how a Mars mission went terribly wrong:

“symbolizing it’s status as a leader rather than a follower” is pretty crazy argument for them.
I think it's safe to say that Canada is ambidextrous. All of the coworkers that I speak with almost daily in St. Bruno (just outside Montreal) go seamlessly back and forth, and not just for my benefit*. When I had to buy a pair of pants in a hurry in Ottawa, all the pants in the store were sized - waist and inseam - in inches. You're as likely to see printed material on letter size (8½ × 11 inch) as on A4 paper.I'm ambidextrous: I work in both. Canada is Metric, yet most of my suppliers & customers are in the US..

As much as it pains me, the US needs to switch to metric now. The best part of metic is the new 65mph will be 105km per hr. It just sounds faster. Do we want to be in the crowd with Burma and Yemen?Go look it up..

Hold it I think I have a time magazine with him on the cover, I’ll see if I can find it…Today is Alan Shepard's Day, which completely overshadows Cinco de Mayo in my mind.
Some random villagers in Mexico beating back French soldiers is cool, but not as cool as 63 years of Americans in space.

It's been tried under Carter, but no one wanted to pay to change all speed limit and "distance to" signs on the road, among other things.As much as it pains me, the US needs to switch to metric now.
