J. Steven York RESISTSUS hardware standards are INSANE. Working on a prop for my action-figure photo comic, "Minions at Work," and I want to attach some decorative lamp finials upside down as legs for a piece of furniture. Go to store, get some screws. Easy, right? A standard 1/4" screw is 20 pitch thread. But a lamp finial is 1/4" 27 pitch, for reasons that probably made sense to Tommy Edison. Can't find screws like I want, even online.

Things would be better with miles, stone, slugs, and drams, rather than kilometers and millimeters.

Alex@rtnVFRmedia Suffolk UKSomething I've always wondered - when vets / zoologists / <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/wildlife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wildlife</a> organisations in <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Canada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Canada</a> weigh a <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/besr" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#besr</a> - is this weight recorded in <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/metric" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#metric</a> (kg) or <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/imperial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#imperial</a> (lbs) <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/units" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#units</a> ? 🐻

chramies00I suppose it's being a non-driver but I find the use of miles as a measurement jarring. "How many miles did you cycle?" I only know how long it took and if I measured it, it'd be in kilometres. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/metric" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#metric</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/metrication" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#metrication</a>
