Ts ts ts. Not metric enough.

The only useful miles is Miles O'brien.

Not useful, but kind of cool:

Miles Davis

As someone who loves jazz, that's a bit more than just "kind of" cool. He's a pillar in the genre.

I know, I just couldn't resist the 'kind of Blue'/'birth of cool' joke

[–] Grabthar@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

Not vector enough either.

What about Miles Prower?

We don't have metric months, only imperial month's. Yeah, you can convert them, but I don't want to deal with the number of bee wing flaps per 13,7 minutes at sea level right now.

Metric is for people who don't have a floating point coprocessor in their head.

Yeah it's so useful to know the division table of the units so you can break it down, like how a mile is 1760 yards so I know that half a mile is.. uh...

Guess that's why the text uses decimal point miles.
