if the metric is so fucking clever why don't you guys fix time...
A quote from wikipedia:
Quote:
The ephemeris second (defined as 1/86400 of a mean solar day) was made one of the original base units of the modern metric system, or International System of Units (SI), at the 10th General Conference on Weights and Measures (CGPM) in 1954. Because the planet Earth's rotation is slowly decelerating at an irregular rate and was thus unsuitable as a reference point for precise measurements, the SI second was later redefined more precisely as the duration of 9,192,631,770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the caesium-133 atom. The international standard atomic clocks use caesium-133 measurements as their main benchmark.
Any questions?
BTW, The metric system is not Russian. It's the International one.

Here you will "do" school under police force or you will be taken out from your family and sent to a special school for underage imbeciles (it's like a prison, but worse). At least for 9 years. After that you can do anything you want. Ah, I forgot. If you're not a girl you will have to serve a year in the army. Course if you are not a disabled one and have no serious problems with your health.
You can not just reject to go to school or to serve in army. There is an official punishment for that.

All science uses metric - Even in the US - They pretty much could not prove anything otherwise - Nothing could be replicated...

Yes... but the image was referring to the space program.

How much alcohol the one must drink to be poisoned? I can drink a liter of vodka and will stand on my feet. It doesn't mean I do it constantly, but I have tried and nothing has happened to me ;) I'm about 72 kilograms, btw.

So you don't drink all the time and you weight under 160lbs, putting back a liter of vodka you're fine?

Have no idea about 160lbs (a horse ass metrics again?), but everything else is yes. Just a short note. We in Russia don't drink vodka like Americans (one bottle in 5 minutes). We do it with a lot of meal (at some celebrations like birthdays, weddings, New Year and even when someone dies) and the process may take many hours... 3... 6 or more. You may start it at 5 o'clock and finish only at 12. And every-time you eat lots of meet, steaks, soups, fried potatoes, kebabs, salads with a mayo and other high caloric food. Yes, you literally eat all that for many hours. Course you can drink a liter of vodka during the process and stay on your feet.
So when you've being told that Russians drink a lot, keep in mind that they do it with a very caloric meal and do it for many hours (not like on bottle in a few minutes). Course if they are not homeless alcoholics who drink shit and die because of methanol poisoning. You won't see anything like that in the major Russian cities like Moscow, SPB, Kazan etc: http://trinixy.ru/66003
We also have night clubs, brothels and pubs, but this ^^^ you will never see here. Maybe somewhere in the village... but these will be some drunk 50 year old tractor drivers in the mud ж)

Educate yourself ;)

Are you satisfied with my answer?
I find it funny that you foreigners get so upset and tell us to get educated, yet at least when I went through basic schooling we learned imperial AND metric.
Yet it's non-American's who get so upset because they have to do a quick google or math in their head to translate one unit to the other, and demand that we spend literally billions to update perfectly fine educational material, because you refuse to "educate yourself"
