Yeah but if you worked with temps a lot you'd probably prefer Celsius. It's not a big deal for average folks just like I'm sure measuring in inches isn't a big deal for them. But if you're in manufacturing or construction, metric is easier. I'm positive it's easier for MOST things

My point is simply that numbering systems are almost entirely arbitrary.

But base 10 would still be easier because of how it divides out. It wouldn't have been easier when all people had to count with was fingers but we can do better now

As we understand math, yes. Because our math is founded on a based 10 logarithmic system. Again, totally arbitrary.

What you come up against? I played through the whole thing with zero issues.

When it comes to measurements it is and isn't.
I spent most of my childhood being taught imperial measurements. Then they said "Now we go metric". The metric is much easier, yes but my brain was already wired to inches and feet. To this day I read metric measurements and automatically convert them to imperial in my head. Yes that includes fractions of inches as well.

I eavesdropped on a certain character in FH, and when I confronted him, I was invisible. Pip boy was invisible, gun sights were invisible. Nearest save that didn't have the glitch was around 2.5 hours before hand.

All is good. Managed to get myself killed, and that seemed to fix the bug.

Same here, no issues, and way more hours than I will freely admit (although I haven't played the new DLC yet).

@jawn

Have you taken your car with the Potenza S-04's (iirc) autocrossing yet? If so, what are your thoughts about them?

The stockers probably have maybe 4 auto-x sessions left until they become unusable, unless I simply stick to DD for the rest of the summer which is not going to happen. Definitely want to hit up Track Night in America at least once this year, maybe more. And we got the private track day coming up in July....

What's a DD in metric?
