re: #278 Decatur Deb
We went metric around Carter’s time, officially. No one much bought into it except the government and international marketers. Everything I did for the Army had to be metric or both systems. (If you want to kill a bunch of people, take a guy who has worked with pounds of explosives for 20 years, and make him start working with kilos.)
Oh yeah, I think I did read about that now.
