We need a metric faction, to counter the Imperial

Must be why only three nations on Earth don't use the metric system today.

Good luck with that.
Don't hold up German beer as any great standard... there's a reason Koelsh is served in 200ml boiling tubes.

Three guys decide to go to a bar to have a round of beers. The first dude orders a Kölsch, the second one does too. When it's up to the 3rd dude, he just orders a sparkling water. The others ask him why he changed his mind. He answers: "Look, if you don't want to have a beer, I don't want one either".

Almost translates exactly the same since it's .98 ft, so you measure in 1ft lengths the same as we do for most dwelling dimensions. Still, when you've got half length portions your way is much messier, since instead of 1.5 or 1'6 you get 0.4572m. Can't even round up since it has to square with everything else.

Totally messes up my Adult beverage drinking when dealing with pints, Schooners and mugs.. volume varies by manufacturer of containers. KoelSCH never had it sounds weak.. sub 4.5%alc/vol

I had a physics master at school who was always lecturing us about using units in our work, and being consistent, regardless of unit. My mates and I submitted one week's worth of homework with all speed measurements converted to furlongs/fortnight. That showed 'em.[...]
“In metric, one milliliter of water occupies one cubic centimeter, weighs one gram, and requires one calorie of energy to heat up by one degree centigrade — which is 1 percent of the difference between its freezing point and its boiling point. An amount of hydrogen weighing the same amount has exactly one mole of atoms in it."
Now I really wonder how much energy it takes to boil a room-temperature gallon of water in imperial units. ^^

Yes and you would be gutted if you were handed a litre.
These days I'd be guttered if someone passed me a litre of beer. I just drink half pints now.
tsk... Give them an inch and they take a kilometre
If you keep complaining, the next time you give an inch we'll take a mile

First you'd have to figure out exactly how much a gallon is... that would be exactly 3.78541 Liters.

As about any German not from Cologne would say, Kölsch is NOT beer
(Ich mach nur Spaß, Leute.)
On topic, seems to me that imperial units are just some sort of trivia. La-dee-da, look who knows a lot of arbitrary numbers.
Everyone knows that German beer is nice, but Czech beer is the best. All the world is mimicking our beer and is brewing pilseners named after the city of Pilsen, where I live
Nonsense! Those continental lagers are all well and good, but your REAL beers only come from one place... Great Britain !!
Dont forget about the Torx faction.

There is some truth to that. Love me some Budvar. Or, as the Americans who stole the name are wont to say, Czechvar.
There's also Belgium. Yum.
