I was impressed by Joe Burrow’s 542 Cubit passing day yesterday.

Also Americans: I'm carrying a 9mm while selling grams of coke

Would you pay those prices if it were advertised as 15.4 grains I'd also like to point out the next several purchase sizes are in ounce based math... teenth, eighth, quarter, half, and whole ounce, until you hit 62.5 grams, and then we revert back to the metric system, with the same fractions

The US adopted the metric system in the 1790's. We're taking our time converting.

Whenever my friends bought coke it was always imperial: teeners (1/16 oz) and 8 balls (1/8 oz).

We, I mean they, were too poor for kilos.

Go do a high school level physics problem in imperial units and see how much you enjoy our nonsense system then.
