I can tell you from personal experience metric is a LOT better when used to build things.
You go 123.4 mm plus 567.8 mm=691.2 mm. In inches, 4.858267717 plus 22.35433071 =27.21259843 inches. So which would you rather build something with? Or you have something 4 33/64 inch plus 3 25/64 inch= 8 3/32 inch. What a stupid way to make stuff.
Or if I meas ...[text shortened]... which is going to be exactly half which comes out to exactly 500 mm.
Try all that in inches.

Come on, where is this edgy hurmour you used to be so fond of bragging about? Where is the stand-up comic wit you boast about? Doesn't exist does it. Reality is you are bereft of any real humour and are desperately trying to create controversy on a chess website in order to draw attention to yourself.
If you would be comfortable with yourself you'd not be ashamed of being
a true woman. Others' happiness doesn't have to make you unhappy, even
if your best years are behind you.

I think you need a friend. Maybe if you dropped that T from your self proclaimed title it might help?
