@Wolfstone is informative: I tried to make the social argument, didn't go over well for some. I totally agree.

@ninjamurf: You can rationalize it all you want, and indeed I AGREE. I just don't see it happening in my lifetime. Its an "issue" you can only fight by saying "It will makes things so much easier" and the fact that there already is an established norm, it seems a difficult task. Maybe people will surprise me, but I…

@ninjamurf: Read a little further, if you can.

@Pure87: Generalizations can get you into trouble, use them wisely. Saying that "everyone SHOULD be able to do anything" is just wishful thinking.

@ninjamurf: You can't convince me that if there was a vote (which there very well should be) on a switch to the metric system that that wouldn't cause a wide variety of voters, probably older voters, to say "We don't want to switch cause we don't want to switch," and their votes count just as much as any.

@Mike43110: @ninjamurf: @Mike43110: I never said it wasn't going to happen, and surely a boycott with the US in a position of inferiority (economically) would cause us to switch. I'm just saying its not going to happen until we're forced.

@cdando: Its not going to happen, I'm sorry. Not only because of the social aspects (Americans' feelings toward foreign influences, learning curve, not giving a shit, what have you). Its the same reason why we're going to use every last drop of oil before we make a complete switch to another energy source. It costs…

@BONERJAM: Agreed. Zombies have been done to death if you consider all installations, but if you consider the ones done correctly, this is a welcome addition to that group. Totally awesome, totally worth the money.

The only time I care about metric is when I'm working on my car and I have to go buy a separate wrench to finish the job. Goddamn metrics.

The fact that it got stuck, broke a wheel, and then was labeled a stationary scientific outpost cracks me right up.

@RobotVampire: Sold!

@tomsomething: Congrats.

@moeses213: Jack-Off-Lanterns.

#7 sweet, sweet release.

@AXBHikaru: I don't get the logic behind that ultimatum.

@tomsomething: Poke who's face?

@yayforjam: Its a losing battle. Plus it always means the worst hangover of your life the next day.

Anybody who has drank Four Loco knows that you can't drink 8. You can't drink even NEAR 8. If you drink 2 and don't die, its a good night. Past that, good luck.

@zipeater: I would've fallen for that, easy.

Who told Sony that they wanted their gaming platform mixed with their phone? It wasn't me.
