Well sure, by that logic you could say all cultures use base 12 because there’s 60 seconds in a minute, 60 minutes in an hour, etc. but are there any cultures that use base 12 for pretty much everything?
Base 12 would be better in many cases but I just don’t see anybody switching anytime soon. We would pretty much have to start over.
Yes, I learned about fractions and decimals in elementary school.
I wasn’t aware there are any cultures that use base 12, neat.
Ok, I reread their comment and I see what you’re getting at. Base 12 would be better in many cases but I just don’t see anybody switching anytime soon. We would pretty much have to start over. If people had 12 fingers we probably would have started on base 12 to begin with.
Metric drill bits are measured in mm and hardy anybody needs that much (0.33333… mm/cm) precision. I have a set of metric drill bits in 0.1mm increments and I personally might not ever need greater precision than that. Maybe in some lab environments they need greater precision but I imagine once you’re on that level it would be custom anyway.
This post is about the metric system, not base 10 vs base 12. Metric is superior to imperial.
Also 15/54 is in no way more convenient than 17/64, I’m assuming you’re joking.
“Hey could I borrow a drill bit?”
“Sure, what size?”
“Seventeen sixty-fourths”
“Fuck you”
Sorry man I think in 2024 you’re objectively wrong.
How awful. Making someone divide things by 10 instead of 12, 16, or fucking 64.
I just watched a Louis Rossman video about this (fake reviews), you should check it out.
Yep. Also that looks exactly like my cat.
Hey it’s like that one episode of Space Ghost.
Imagine waking up and seeing a robot with that face standing above you.
Yeah, could be nice. You should check out Aptera, it’s kinda sorta almost the same thing. Up to 40 miles of charge per day from solar.
Wireless charging is very inefficient, I don’t see that happening unless some new tech gets invented.
Really interesting design decision. Was the main battery also dead? I’m guessing not. There’s a step-down converter under the rear seat that outputs 12-16 volts, Tesla could probably have fairly easily set the car up to power the doors from that when the auxiliary 12V battery dies.
Because of this post and your comment I now have it once again. Thank you.
