I voted for Ralph Nader a few times, until he stopped appearing on ballots for whatever reason. For this reason, and many others. I don't remember any negative press about him, either. maybe he got out when mudslinging became defacto i

Emergency Department^ doctors, what do they make? give people who have to review the worst humanity has to offer and pay them that. and while we're at it, ambulance personnel should get a huge pay bump. Take it from nurses' pay. ^

edit window closed but i wanted to say that i like that metric units are all related. 1cc of water is 1ml is 1g. that's lovely , and pretty, in the sense that Carl Sagan would use it. Doesn't mean the USA has to switch for common

I forgot one thing. you said "why not have in^2 and in^3" we do, but we don't use that very often. Older American "muscle cars" engines' displacement was measured in cubic inches. every child learns what a squa

up until very recently, the only units that made it even remotely "universal" was US customary units. Or, as Arduino Vs Everyone on youtube says: "units that have gone to the moon." Now, i speak larger measurements in me
