minus-square@assassin_aragorn@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink5•1 year agoI go back to what my professor in my first engineering class told us – a good engineer can work in any unit system. At the end of the day, imperial vs metric is an argument you have over some beers with friends. It’s inconsequential.
minus-square@CapraObscura@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink4•1 year agoHell, I’m not an engineer and that’s something I was taught in school. In Texas. In the 80’s. Man, this place has devolved so horrendously…
minus-squareNoIWontPickaNamelinkfedilink4•1 year agoThat’s a damn good point, the distance doesn’t change regardless of what you call it.
minus-square@assassin_aragorn@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink2•1 year agoExactly. This isn’t rocket science, it’s simple math. And by knowing two unit systems, you can describe the distance in the most convenient way possible.
