teije9@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 week agono, not at all. bar is a logical metric unit, psi is imperial. because the us doesn’t know what powers of 10 are, there’s never a nice conversion factor.

US uses both and is capable of conversion. It is unfortunate, but saying it doesn’t know powers of ten is pretty condescending.

I said (or at least meant) that imperial doesn’t use powers of ten like metrkc

Word. “The us doesn’t know what powers of 10 are” just didn’t convey that clearly.
We’re stuck with this shit for now, and one of the few positive things is that it forces you to understand both the conversions and power of 10 is cake compared to understanding both and converting.
