well maybe I'm thinking 3.3 meters per yard. I cannot be asked to remember every metric/standard conversion now

You know what? We don't have 3.8 liter milk cartons, only 1 and 1.5. And even those are huge! Well, big enough. No wonder every american comedy has a spoiled milk can in a fridge...I've allways wanted to play "Russ Meyer's Civilization"Comment

1 yard is about equal to 1 metre.
and Diss, you wouldn't go to 3.3 litre bottles, you'd go to 1 litre ones that are cheaper
do you guys think we use fractional figures for temperature and volume just based on round imperial figures?
must be final proof for American stupidity, bigotry, arrogance and ignorance. US

The max milk "bottles" we use are 2 liters, I've never seen 1.5 liter...This space is empty... or is it?Comment

And you could make 3 or 4 liters milk packs, if you really drink that much or enjoy letting it rot in your fridge.“Now we declare… that the law-making power or the first and real effective source of law is the people or the body of citizens or the prevailing part of the people according to its election or its will expressed in general convention by vote, commanding or deciding that something be done or omitted in regard to human civil acts under penalty or temporal punishment….” (Marsilius of Padua, „Defensor Pacis“, AD 1324)Comment

The supermarket I work at sells milk in 1, 2 and 3 liter bottles. Despite common (American) belief though, using a metric system does not necessitate every bottle being a multiple of 1 liter. We also sell alcoholic beverages in 250, 375, 750 mL bottles.I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).Comment

we sell alcoholic beverages in 50, 100 and 200 liter barrells

you know, there's something to be said for the metric system.
i'd rather have a liter than a pint.

pico = 10^-12Originally posted by Spiffor
Isn't there something smaller than nano ? I think I remember "pico" or something, but I'm unable to tell how much it is.
femto = 10^-15
Not sure about higher than that. Femtometres and femtoseconds are as small as you get in physics so far.12-17-10 Mohamed Bouazizi NEVER FORGET

That's the least multiplier my books provide. Other sources (like this) cover a range from 10^24 to 10^-24, but I'm not sure if these still make sense.Comment
