minus-square Jakorat ( @Jakorat@kbin.social ) linkfedilink9•1 year agoI’ve never needed to use imperial for long distances for work? Not sure what that’s about. And don’t get me started on woodworking or the construction industry. Plywood panels are length and width in imperial but thickness in metric or imperial.
