Dismissed Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 I think the SF servers are hosted in the United States, so I'd say more than 15,500 kilometers, more distance added the farther we go from the Pacific. 20 minutes ago, Mackc2 said: about 5 metres (imperial units are for imperial scum) I agree with this statement. So dang confusing, yet for some reason, our teacher wants us to use imperial units when woodworking. (Literally everything else in the school is metric.)

Michelaar Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 I only understand meters and kilo's, Inches, feet, miles, whatever, really confuses me and makes no sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm from an area that uses them primarily and they still make no sense! ...It will always puzzle me why we Americans are so insistent on continuing to use a system that has such random, arbitrary portioning instead of base 10.

Interdimensional Observer Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 We aren't removed from the Forest at all. The forest is all around us, it is everywhere and anywhere. In fact we are all part of the Forest! Then why is it we cannot recognize this? We cannot because we live unforesty lives, filled with things that guide us away from the fresh, clear, energizing air of the Forest. Through proper thought and action, we can bring ourselves to see the Forest for what it is. We should all seek to attain this recognition, and in the process become the emerald saplings which fill it (and which in fact we already are and cannot cease to be, we can only futilely deny this), our boughs locked in harmony. 1 hour ago, Glaceon Mage said: I'm from an area that uses them primarily and they still make no sense! ...It will always puzzle me why we Americans are so insistent on continuing to use a system that has such random, obligatory portioning instead of base 10. Because everything American football related would spontaneously combust if everything had to be converted from yard lines to meter lines. And I take particular issue with yards to miles. Does anyone remember on a daily basis that 1760 yards equals a mile? Such an arbitrary number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magical Glace Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 Just now, Interdimensional Observer said: Because everything American football related would spontaneously combust if everything had to be converted from yard lines to meter lines. And I take particular issue with yards to miles. Does anyone remember on a daily basis that 1760 yards equals a mile? Such an arbitrary number. Yet another reason for me to dislike football, I guess. I certainly don't remember it, lol. Meanwhile, the number of meters in a kilometer? 1000. Easy to remember, easy to convert. Are the people keeping the old system because they like memorizing such random numbers? Is it some test of... I dunno, memorization skill?

Is it some test of... I dunno, memorization skill? Mainly because TRADITION! It's pretty funny seeing America as one of 3 countries who keep imperial units as they were once under said empire. Or how people in the UK cover up kilometre units on signs. Or here where you can tell someone's age by their use of any measure besides pints (because that's unlikely to go away any time soon). As to how far I am from a forest, I'd say a couple dozen kilometres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flee Fleet! Posted November 5, 2017 Author Share Posted November 5, 2017 Seems like most answers state a couple of kilometers or more because screw inches. Good. Now figure how much speed I would need to reach the forest within the shortest amount of time possible. Please specify time in milliseconds.

Infinite Dreams Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 We Canadians are weird. We use metric for most things, but the average person still uses inches for stuff like height/snow depth/penis size... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midnight Torch Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 If the power of the Fire Emblem is stretched out into a straight line, it would be about 12.9605 inches from the forest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
