approx 250k :shrug:

The math is a lil harder - but for everyday functional use it's pretty meaningless - your mind just gets used to the sizes entailed by the unit and most meaningful science in the US utilizes metric anyway.

Also, F > C for everyday use - all of the temps that people see most often everyday are squashed into 30 degrees in C, while in F you get it stretched out a bit so you get a lot more detail in the temperatures that people normally utilize.

He’s wrong because there isn’t an even number of grams in an OZ.
The answer is 127.5 (rounded)

LOL, yep! Always has been, but if they weigh the pound like that, then all is well.

28g = 1 oz

16oz = 1lb.

Still though I haven't figured out wtf is up with the interchanging between metric and standard in the cannabiz... or drugs in general.

I guess an oz is a nice inbetween of grams and a what, hectogram? Who the fuck weighs anything in hectograms :shrug:

I think its because theres no gram equivalent in the US system.

And a Kilo is way more than a pound, so a pound is the "standard" large amount, at least in some cases (big box cases :wink:).

I don't get why america didn't switch to metric after they blew up a spaceshuttle because they fucked up the conversion.

Floating the idea again would be a good way to distract from a political scandal. People would be livid.

You could hide fuel efficiency standards changes in the switch too.
