Question/Quote of The Day

Heads up: I will take a break from this thread on October 9th. Just for shits and giggles, @pedronimo will be the acting question host until October 11th.

QoTD 204: Have you ever traveled to another country before? If, so how was it?

I traveled to Malaysia, I was only 3 so its a bit fuzzy.

QoTD 203: You've caught an unknown illness, rendering you unable to do anything but lie down. Your only hope is your friends as they go to find a cure. What could possibly be on your mind right now?

Been in a similar enough situation, not going to talk about it.

QoTD 204: Have you ever traveled to another country before? If, so how was it?

I have been to Canada a few times before you needed anything beyond a birth certificate (maybe even when I even didn't need one of those) to enter. It was normal. They have bagged milk there. Mentally converting the price for fuel from gallon to liter was fun. Niagara Falls was cool to see from both sides. Fast food burgers in Canada had a different texture too. I can't remember if Casey Kasem or Shadoe Stevens was hosting America's top 40 at the time. I just remember listening to that radio program because the cassette player ate a tape.
Oh and Quebecoise people were also more rude back then, and I never made it to Quebec.

I can never relate to you guys with these kind of measurement system. @sterven @bigtiddyoneesan @Angry_Panda @BakedBanana @EOTFOFYL @Ichigo69 @Atifus @Bartolumiu @Halo @justforthelulz @Pandas795

Look, it's very simple. @Manko-sensei can go over any of the below that you don't understand.

A foot is an arbitrary unit of length.
There are 12 inches in a foot. Generally inches are subdivided into powers of 2 (half-quarter-eighth-etc.), though for very small measurements mils (thousandths of an inch) may be used instead.
A yard is 3 feet.
A rod/perch is 5.5 yards.
A chain is 4 rods.
A furlong is 10 chains.
A mile is 8 furlongs, or 1760 yards, or 5280 feet.

An acre is an area equivalent to one furlong in length and one chain in width.
There are 640 acres in a square mile.

A US gallon (not to be confused with an imperial gallon) is 231 cubic inches. This can be subdivided into 4 quarts, 8 pints, 16 cups, 32 gills, and 128 fluid ounces.

A pound (avoirdupois) is an arbitrary unit of weight. It can be divided into 7000 grains.
There are 16 ounces (avoirdupois) in an pound (437.5 grains); each ounce can be subdivided into 16 drams (27.34375 grains).
14 pounds (avoirdupois) is a stone.
Two stone is a long quarter.
Four long quarters is a long hundredweight.
20 long hundredweights (or 2240 pounds) is a long ton.
25 pounds (av.) is a short quarter.
Four short quarters is a short hundredweight.
20 short hundredweights (or 2000 pounds) is a short ton.

These same grains are used as the basis for troy weights, with 24 grains in a pennyweight, 20 pennyweights in a troy ounce (480 grains), and 12 troy ounces (5760 grains) to a troy pound.

I really don't see what the issue is with wrapping one's head around this system.

And this is why it's so hard to explain D&D rules to non-USA people.

I WAS going to give a smartass answer, but yours is so much better, I'm just gonna sit by the sidelines on this one...

Oi, I use normal "rest of the world" units, don't lump me with the savages (heck, I'm usually active in the r/2WE4U sub )

Have a nice break.

Yes, a few countries. In the service mostly, though. A lot of those visits were kinda rough, lol. A few other countries while I was employed for a few different companies. Went to Bulgaria, and Germany for leisure. Bulgaria was fun. Germany was alright.

Try Balkan. I heard their coffee is good, if you park your car near the cafe and enkoy the coffee theres a chance that your car is becoming not so car anymore.
