Feet, yards, inches should be replaced by the metric system.
There are 2 types of countries in this world: 1. Those that use the metric system and 2. Those that put a man on the moon ;)
Interesting flex. Apollo Guidance Computer was working with Metric SI units internally.
Calculations were carried out using the metric system, but display readouts were in units of feet, feet per second, and nautical miles – units that the Apollo astronauts were accustomed to.
Funny thing is, NASA uses metric.
Women having class.
Standardize not holding women to ambiguous and hazy hierarchical standards like “class” 🙄
Standardize letting women just be people and minding your damn business. Like wtf is this answer?
I was expecting like the metric system, or the number of continents but no… I’m going to go outside and rip ass so hard today, just for you buddy. 👍
Police education requirements. In North America, there are like hundreds of different police forces with vastly different requirements. Some will hire highschool dropouts while others require a university education.
False. Police agencies are the only institutions legally allowed to discriminate based on intelligence when it comes to hiring. Jordan v. City of New London set the precedent that its okay for police forces to refuse to hire a person because they are too smart. The reasoning in court was that those who are too intelligent face the risk of finding the work boring or becoming distracted by issues outside of the scope of their work. What that means from a practical standpoint is that they want dumb, obedient candidates for police positions rather than logical critical thinking individuals who might actually follow the law over orders from superiors. Its the same thing in the military too.
In the face of the facts, university education is probably more often a disqualification for actual law enforcement.

Driving on the right
Driving on the left you mean. It’s better since most people are right-handed.
Using your dominant hand for gear shift makes more sense than the alternative. Disagree?
No one has manuals anymore.
Even if you’re in an automatic, and shifting between P, R and D. I’d much rather do that with my dominant hand. Wouldn’t you?
But that’s just control. A tradeoff since there has been some evidence that reaction time, attention and accident avoidance work better the other way. Like sure, I might have more control over a knife by cutting towards myself (granny cut for apples and such), but it’s still inherently more dangerous that the opposite side in any case besides ‘everything goes perfectly’.
