That bloody metric system

#61

I know but did you see the nuts on that thing?!

Haha

#62

Wait - what are you saying? Nuts? Is that code for something?

#63

No. I just like nuts.

#64

Well yeah, that’s why yer here

#65

You’re saying that if it’s 2-1/2 gallons it will NOT have a swing to a + or -, but somehow labelling it as 2.5 is the only way that imprecision can exist?

That’s hilarious.

#66

I know, right? :smiley:
but really you only get the outer point and missed the esoteric as always, fundiWabbit.

#67

If you were afraid of looking bad for saying yes, just admit it. If you weren’t afraid of that, why not just answer honestly? Unless you also believe being like the Germans is a bad thing, regardless what you chose to infer.

#68

One was not refering to the ability of a mechanical device to meter out a specific volume, repeatedly and exactly, dummyWabbit.

#69

Then explain why 2.5 gives you that imprecision but 2-1/2 does not. This was your assertion, as everyone except you seems to recall.

I already have, theRabbid. Learn to read.

#72

Ah, I see you did.

However, you are wrong, and are explaining nothing, merely restating your assertion. 2.5 is at LEAST as “exact” as 2-1/2, as I explained.

#73

You have explained nothing and you are wrong for saying so. Two “halves” are equal. 0.5 is not 0.5000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 etc to infinity, as I have demonstrated.

#74

So you’re saying a real half gallon IS in fact 0.5000000000000000000000… and doesn’t have any tolerance differences?

Mmmkay.
