As an American, I only use Fahrenheit for room temperature so I can have a comparison for Celsius. Seriously, why are we still using these dumb measurements? Is there an actual reason, or is it just the 'I hate change even when its convenient' thing we do all too often?
For MPH and stuff, yeah, it's the expense of changing all the signs. It's not even just speed limit signs, there's also all the mile markers and then the signs that tell you how far away towns/cities are and stuff. For Celsius vs Fahrenheit, it's mainly because most of this country wouldn't be able to handle it because either they forgot it or they were too stupid to learn it in the first place. Anything in STEM in college, except maybe a reminder your freshman year, will be done with the metric system... and any of those jobs in a STEM field will use metric.
We will never know, because even if it's true the Aussies obviously cheated and the whole system is rigged. Plus guns, oil and freedom (bald eagle skreetches)
Skreeeee... speaking upon eagles, I had a brown eagle swoop down next to me on the patio the other day; so close if I had known it was coming I could have reached out and flicked it's wing. That thing was BIG. Even the ravens that'll harass hawks away were all like yeah, fuck that...
