I love you for that joke.

After a 10 second google search, i’ve found it’s idaho’s Enhanced Concealed Carry Weapons class. Which you have to take to carry a gun around.

There’s dozens of them i tell you! Dozens!

A man of culture, i see.

Been working in COBOL for a decade and this is all true.

I’m lucky. I personally enjoy it. But i can totally see how it’s an absolute nightmare for most people.

People who grow up almost anywhere else on earth can also tell how big something is based on their experience with metric. That’s not something inherently based on the imperial system. The same way you go “oh that’s about 3 feet”, we go “oh that’s about 2 meters”.

And of course, switching systems overnight is insane, people are used to imperial, you’re right. But at the very least do what Britain did, and have both systems in parallel at the same time, everywhere. And in time, people would get used to metric too.

Do you?

We wouldn’t mind so much if your system wasn’t so damn arbitrary, and if you weren’t literally the only country on earth to refuse to come together with the rest of us.
