I have a bunch of AF tools, doesn’t mean it’s a superior system. Although I think most of my hammers and screwdrivers are imperial (due to being made by a well known American company). The staunchly non-metric US put men on the moon, I’m pretty sure NASA use metres and grammes to calculate shizzle.

... I just looked that up and they’ve been ‘mostly metric’ since 1990 rofl

they lost the Mars Climate Orbiter in 1999, when somone failed to convert units to metric, and it burned up entering the atmosphere :-O
