wasting time getting used to converting between units.
Pick one.

I’ll have you know converting out of slugs was absolutely a waste of time. My prof searing 2.54cm/in into my brain was quite useful though

If your goal is to teach a new material, you teach that material specifically. You dont mix other things into it because 1) it makes it harder for them to learn that new material and 2) it makes it harder for you to figure out what they dont understand.

That is actually not backed by science. Mixing material is a lot more effective than focusing on one thing.

At least it’s easy to remember the conversion between hours and seconds.

if you ever forget, heres a neat mnemonic device: 3600, because 60*60=3600

americans carefully using imperial units instead of metric to waste time of the rest of the world

That link has your si in it. Your si is a tracking code Google uses to determine who clicked on links you shared. They want to know who your friends are for their social data models.

That was the most confusing discussion I’ve heard in a while. Don’t even know what the initial question was. Had to rewatch the video
The initial answer of 3/8 was right, but then he changed it and I just got confused.

Okay so NASA lost a $327 million Mars probe because said was transmitting trajectory corrections in the SI Units of Newton-Seconds, but the home base software was interpreting and calculating it as Pound Seconds.
Remembering that there was endless amounts of scientific equipment aboard that took years to make, and the whole enchilada took 10 months traveling through space before it could even crash.
