- Comment on Every non US market could impose their will, simply by banning imports of products that use, or reference SAE instead of metric. 2 weeks ago:
You understand nothing.
I’m talking about trade using the ISO standard exclusively, and being punitive to any entity from the US that merely uses SAE guidelines in their production and QA.
If any reference to non SI weights and measures can be found in the production process, there’s an embargo against it.
But go on, explain to me the concept of relabeling stuff, as though I’m unfamiliar with the concept.

How many grams per cubic centimeter?

That’s a lot of words to say the US probably wouldn’t like the planet to shift to, insist on, SI exclusively.

I think you’re confused about what I’m getting at. This would be more of a “You know what? Since you’re unilaterally crashing the global economy and betraying all of your allies, and the gloves are off, we’re sick of your shit.” Point of view.
As in keep your “that’s what we’ve always used” to yourselves, and forget attempting to export anything that conforms to something other than metric. As in, adding cost to production to appease the strict anti-SAE, anti Imperial everything market. Sorry, can’t import that; Fahrenheit has been referenced.
Everything. Every commodity, ingredient, finished good. If it has anything other than SI attached to it, the rest of the world shuns it.
The purpose would be to make it very irritating for American companies to bend to the rest of the world’s standard, simply because you’re being complete Dickheads on the global stage.

This is you not grasping what it might be like to have the entire world refusing to engage the US in imperial units, in any capacity, right down to shunning products that display both units. Wtf is a mile per gallon? Can’t import that. Oh, you can toggle between that and metric? Can’t import that, as imperial units are not permitted. No dual units display allowed.
That’s just automotive, without much thought.
There would be many other consumer and commercial grade product lines, where the world could make American companies squirm to export products cost effectively, if all of their shit requires freedom units in the manufacturing or labeling, to retain their domestic market.

The US is in the middle of betraying all of their allies, and are shredding democracy, and making the world objectively worse.

- Comment on US classifies South Korea as ‘sensitive country,’ limiting cooperation on advanced tech. 5 weeks ago:
This actually makes sense.
Donald Trump is on the same side as Vladimir Putin, who is friends with Kim Jong Un.
Therefore, the enemies of North Korea are enemies of Donald Trump.

I’ve got an elderly PC, and LMDE runs marvelously on it.
Above and beyond the ease of use, I think that people migrating from Windows 10 will be pleasantly surprised at how non-invasive and non-demanding Linux is with respect to personal information, product registration and such.
- Comment on Microsoft closes the door on Windows 11 supporting older hardware 4 months ago:
Linux Mint or LMDE for the win.
Even without having an axe to grind with Microsoft, switching to Linux will extend the life of your existing PC, saving you money.
