I would like to see temperature in C, speed in KPH, but distance in feet and pressure in PSI. I can relate so much easier to distances in feet. With Metres, it's a matter of multiplying by 3ish to get to feet. I've talked to coworkers about this, and without saying why I'm asking, I'll ask how far away they live, they will answer in KM, I'll then ask how far away a certain object is, they will answer in feet.
I'm a Scuba diver in Canada, I read my tank pressure in PSI, my depth in feet, the water temperature in Fahrenheit, but air temperature in Celsius. Weird mix
Sadly here they do depth in feet, pressure in PSI and temperature in Fahrenheit. Proper dinosaur units.
Im constantly having to "divide by 3 ish" in my head to make sense of the depth and dividing PSI by 15 to get bar.
Underwater metric is so much easier - i can divide and multiple things by 10 in my head no matter how confused i get. The same isnt true dealing with imperial for SAC rates and so on. |
