I propose that we modify the definition of "pint" so that conversion to liters (or litres depending on where you're from) would be eaiser. Redefine a pint to be exactly one half a liter. It's pretty close already, right?

Ah, #Midwest #weather, where in 2 days we can go from a high of nearly 60F to a low of 20F in the same day, followed by a high of just 33F the next day. (For the huge majority of the planet that sanely uses #Celsius, the F in the #temperature means the #US measuring system is F...ed up. We're being punished for our arrogance.)

"-40°.. Yes, that's cold.. wait is that Celsius or Fahrenheit?"

Once you get to -40°F in the U.S., it is the same as -40°C at which point you are honorary Canadians, but without the "u", so not a real honour.
