Can we please stop hotlinking pics?

After more business travel this year I've become convinced that airports exist in their own common time-plane outside our own reality.

This is why I do everything in metric anymore.  Not for any reasons of theoretical superiority (units is units), but simply because my eyes get lost along the 15 hash marks.  The half is usually not significantly longer than the quarter, so it all becomes a blur.

My steel rule at work is calibrated in 64ths.  At least it's NUMBERED.  40/64ths I can work with.  Now if only it came with a built-in magnifying glass so I could see them.

40/64ths...uh, do you mean 5/8ths?

Mods, is there a way we could get one “plus-ten” per year…I’d love to spend mine on this meme that’s packing so much WIN that I need to kick something.

True stuff. But we should all remember anytime you see someone drinking a beer at 7a.m at an airport, it may be 8p.m. where they got up that morning. Or maybe they're on vacation and don't care what you think.

Or beer is delicious so piss off.

I've done beer at breakfast- a low gravity pale ale with a Full English. This is among the best things in life, EVER, especially if you plan to spend the day doing hard work.

Oh man... My favorite English pub stopped doing breakfast. Now I have longing.

The rule is marked in 64ths, and is numbered every eight.  Just be happy that it isn't in 128ths, which a lot of American engines were designed in during the late 1940s and the 1950s instead of the decimal inches that we're used to.  (What, you think a 2.87 stroke is odd?  That's just a decimalization of 2 7/8" with some rounding error)

No hotlink because tired.
