⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨2x2 lumber at Home Depot is now 1.28x1.28. Nominal size is supposed to be 1.5⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
European wire gauge is not the O.D. It is the cross section of the conductor inside the wire in mm^2. It is the same system AWG uses (they are directly correlated) with the added benefit that the numbers make sense (10mm^2/AWG8 wire has 4x the cross section of 2.5mm^2/AWG14 wire, so a quarter of the resistance of the thicker wire and thus roughly double the current capacity).
