@ShadowJonathan brb gonna go fork and create FreedomAssistant where only imperial units are used and metric is deprecated.
#homeassistant #homeautomation
@paco @ShadowJonathan us customary isn't deprecated, just the imperial alias (which was wrong, since imperial and us customary are not the same thing)
@paco @ShadowJonathan the primary difference is that british imperial fluid ounces are roughly 4% smaller than us customary fluid ounces
@paco @ShadowJonathan in both the gallon is the base unit but british imperial defines the gallon as the volume of 10lbs of water (nowadays defined precisely in liters) and equal to 160 fl oz, while us customary defines the gallon as 231in³ and equal to 128 fl oz (thus while imperial fl oz are smaller than us fl oz, imperial pints/quarts/gallons are larger than in the us)

@leo and this blew my mind. I had no idea how these things were defined. This is ridiculous. TIL
