Most people live in the cities these days and there's no trend the other way very likely to change anything. Face reality. . Nev. 

[spacesailor]

if you live In the city ( CBD ) you should use public Transport.

But city dwellers earn far more , & buy up- market luxury cars.

Which century are you living in Spacey?

Cities are full of struggling students and wage slaves. Certain leafy suburbs may have a concentration of mansions,  but the truly rich live far from the hoi polloi.

The truly rich often live amongst  like minded people - in a tax haven far from the madding crowds (and scrutiny).

Swahili clock.

 

[onetrack]

I think I can now see at least one reason why the African natives don't rule the world with their technological and scientific developments.

[spacesailor]

I could live with that clock .

But not with the French metric time clock. 

Would someone / anyone put a picture of that metric clockface here .

[Admin]

I would be much happier with a metric clock...everything to the base 1 is much easier

[spacesailor]

You will miss two hours sleep a night.

And time passes slowly when you first start your fitness regime with a half hour walk.

[facthunter]

Yes walking seems pretty SLOW doesn't it?  Nev

Try jogging  , that shakes your body. 

Metrics ! How far do you travel at, 0.06 klmrs . ( my jogging circuit )

I do a little more now .

A little more !

From my sister's front gate to the next door neighbour's mailbox is 1200 metres, so out and back is 2400 metres (1.5 miles), which I do in 30 minutes. That means I'm walking at 3 mph or 4.8 kph, or 1.33 m/s.

[facthunter]

Try increasing your GATE. You'll eventually get the swing of it..   Nev

[spacesailor]

My 0.06 klmrs jog , is the halfway on my 3 klmtrs exercise walk.  Is it 6 mtrs or 60 / 600 mtrs .

Metric system is very sensible Spacey.  Kilo = 1,000.  So kilometre is 1,000 metres.  0.6 km would be 600 metres, 0.06 would be 60 metres, 0.006 would be 6 metres.

 

None of this inch/foot/yard/furlong/cubit/mile nonsense.  All you need are millimetre, 1000 of them = metre, 1000 of them = kilometre.  Now you can measure everything (except for very small distances - micrometre - or very large distances - light years / minutes / seconds).

It's UN American though. . Scientists must be Un American..  Nev

[facthunter]

It's just that many Americans  are Un scientific. It's not a belief they can have any FAITH in.. Nev

Isn't the scientific reference book old enough for them?

Grows from the time where "IF WE DON'T make it, it can't be much good". NOW is not like that.. Nev
