I frequently confuse the two when I’m not thinking, or my browser has defaulted to the colonial spellchecker.

They can be shown on US television at least.

imperial measurements have been legally defined in reference to SI units for decades

This is the important bit.
Effectively, we are metric, but display things using the old units sometimes.

And you sometimes get people ordering lumber for the first time giving bad reviews because they feel they’ve been cheated out of some wood.

I just assume I’ll do 45.45 MPG, then I’m pleasantly surprised when the fuel bill is lower than expected.

I end up doing a lot of lazy maths, and remembering rough numbers.

45MPG? That’s about 10 miles per litre.
8 inches? Eh, 20cm.

Anything remotely technical, I convert everything to metric (and actually take the time do accurately).
Having the inch-fractions to mm table on the back of a ruler is very useful when using old drill bits and spanners.

I still don’t get why my laptop shipped with BIOS raid enabled.
It only has one drive!

There is nothing wrong with using things that “just work” when you need them to.
Same reason people buy Toyota and Honda.
My life has enough chaos to handle, without starting my day faffing with Arch for no good reason.

It’s reminding me of the 3rd party utility apps on the Apple Store.

They seem to have ditched “limited features for free” in favour of “nothing at all until you subscribe, first 7 days free”

Also, the finance department going “what do you mean a screen needs a consumable?!”

We’re looking at swapping the conference room projector for a screen now. £200 bulb, £600 for a mahoosive TV that’s much brighter.

You take the green USB, it’s Ventoy.
You click the wrong option in the list, and suddenly it’s GParted.

2 days later, squiddy will be buying the books. Ideal christmas gift for your parents!

And the SM57 for things you don’t need a screen on.

Frank Zappa: I’m the slime

I once changed a friend’s autocorrect from “regards” to “lots of love”.

And I somehow managed to keep my mouth shut long enough for a lecturer to get a very funny email.

People apparently rub them with IPA.

I need to have a try of this, as I regularly burn through 2032s.

Catwoman: What’s a hroom?

He’s having a little more fun in the original.

That doesn’t sound very typical.
