Crush or move?
From the link... Well here is the question. We are now putting up for sale our four acres up the street in anticipation of purchasing our new building and must move the over 100 914s on the property. I had fully intended to move all of them to our body shop location for over 5000 in cost. However today, a crusher called offering almost $20,000 dollars for all of them. What would YOU do? |

Nice...someone who can drive AND knows "arithmetic".....it's a beautiful thing.... He probably used his computer to figure it out. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) (I guess most people do nowadays). (IMG:style_emoticons/default/type.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) (I guess most people do nowadays). (IMG:style_emoticons/default/type.gif) The one thing about the metric system that ya'all here in the US just can't wrap your head around is how EASY it is to do calculations like the one above. You don't even have to do any thinking. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Dividing by 100 is simply done by moving the decimal point to the left by the number of zeros (2) in 100. 20000.00 / 100 = 200.0000 Works with a more complex number as well: 18357 / 100 = 183.57 Can't get much easier than that ...

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) Edit: sorry, I messed up Sir Andy's quote. As a scientist I use the metric system all of the time. It's great, especially for volumes. I run into problems with the meter though simply because it seems a bad choice compared to something around a foot long. I simply cannot do metric carpentry or cabinet making. Every adult is two meters tall. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

Carpentry in Germany is done using centimeters and millimeters. Millimeters is usually enough resolution for anything that one builds by hand. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) 2 m ~= 6 1/2 feet 2 m = 200 cm = 2000 mm So, using millimeters, you get about a 2000 resolution for 6 1/2 feet. That should be plenty for any cabinet. |
