  Each nation has its own agreement with the USA that defines these things, it’s weird. I think it’s in Wisconsin where tribe members retain hunting and fishing rights to a lake sold as a private lake, when cops showed up, they had to let them fish and hunt or the land would be returned to the tribe. As per the agreement from long ago.

  Transporting across state lines is weird and federally regulated.

  Why not just metric, so we can get those metric seconds, then daylight time wouldn’t matter anymore.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Everyday, as an American⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah it really only matters what you are comfortable with, if you get units you aren’t comfortable with then it gets confusing. I almost feel like metric folk don’t realize that the USA is like 50 EU states in size, and this disconnect causes them some rage at seeing imperial units. At the human level I still can’t comprehend Celsius, mostly cuz those numbers have meanings in fahrenheit, sure makes for some cognitive dissonance to heard 35 degrees thinking you would need snow gear to hearing it’s unbearably hot.

  I had a car that needed gas, and was a stick shift. I called the technique three footing. Basically I jammed my heel on the brake and raked my toes on the gas pedal to keep the engine running at a light or stop sign.
