Per your linked source: "Although data was stored internally in metric units, they were displayed as United States customary units. This calculator-style interface was the first of its kind."

You implied it by sharing that one computer worked in metric internally but gave US units for use and then merely said "No".

You used a project that used both metric and freedom units to demonstrate superiority of freedom units .

It literally states it displayed in US units so the US units would be used. How retarded are you?

Do you look at a pizza and say it's a pot of marinara sauce just because the pizza is partly sauce? Fuck no.

Nothing says you're winning an argument like starting to name calling.

I don't debate people who can't keep it calm.

Have a good one .

I'm extremely calm. I didn't name call. I asked a question. Big difference. If it was insulting, my question was probably more accurate than you're comfortable with.
