@bytebro@mastodonapp.uk @PopTarts@gaygeek.social @confusedMiddleAgedDad@mastodon.social @tiggy@mastodonapp.uk @Fasgadh@mastodon.scot I hate all these changes to length measurements. I still use poles, chains and furlongs. None of these modern feet and yards. ☺️

@kibcol1049@mstdn.social @bytebro@mastodonapp.uk @PopTarts@gaygeek.social @confusedMiddleAgedDad@mastodon.social @tiggy@mastodonapp.uk @Fasgadh@mastodon.scot TheRegister has long run their own standards converter, recently updated. https://www.theregister.com/bootnotes/2026/05/31/the-reg-online-standards-converter/5248893 It has useful things like 1 square kilometer is the same as 48130.1902 nanowales and 1km/sec is the same as 0.0334% of the maximum velocity of a sheep in a vacuum.
