LOL...you just need to retire. Then time means little...except worrying about death and when it may arrive. Heehee...just something to look forward to!I've been thinking about the metric measurement of time. Why don't we have ten hour days and each hour is composed of 100 minutes. 24/60/60 is so weird and we have to deal with milliseconds?? And, and, and what would metric geometry be like?

I've been retired since 2011. Most people I ever knew aren't around anymore. I don't worry about much these days except where I left my phone.
And metric time.

Like why don't we have 13 months with 28 days each? That matches the lunar cycle and the ladies cycle!

Good smoke, I only did one small plant outside last year for seeds.How’s the Cherry Gar-See-Ya? Was looking at NASC seed a while back and the write up suggested it was well suited to outdoor. That caught my attention for sure
It was the only one not to get budrot or bugs, and I wasn't tending to it either.
Couple people in the Outdoor Show-n-Tell had good luck with it.

I’m going to print and laminate that and put it in my kitchen.

My bad. A mind is a terrible thing to waste... yup.
2013 here...@ 55. (for the wife, I was just selling pot...so no fanfare on retirement/etc.)After the kid walked off the rock in 2011 we figured out quickly that none of it mattered.
I use ml's a lot with the ferts....and I own a metric socket set. That's about my exposure to the rest of the world and how things work...LOL.
'merica!

Coffee to all may you have a great day and a better night 
It's the same as metric trigonometry

I know you don't want a real answer, you just want to make this face.
..but no, I'm that guy who's going to answer you anyway. As my Historian, Teacher, Farmer grandfather used to say as he got older, "We should just blame everything on Mesopotamia, it's their fault."
Wikipedia agrees,
"Mesopotamian mathematics and science was based on a sexagesimal (base 60) numeral system. This is the source of the 60-minute hour, the 24-hour day, and the 360-degree circle. The Sumerian calendar was lunisolar, with three seven-day weeks of a lunar month. This form of mathematics was instrumental in early map-making. The Babylonians also had theorems on how to measure the area of several shapes and solids. They measured the circumference of a circle as three times the diameter and the area as one-twelfth the square of the circumference, which would be correct if π were fixed at 3.[26]
The volume of a cylinder was taken as the product of the area of the base and the height; however, the volume of the frustum of a cone or a square pyramid was incorrectly taken as the product of the height and half the sum of the bases. Also, there was a recent discovery in which a tablet used π as 25/8 (3.125 instead of 3.14159~). The Babylonians are also known for the Babylonian mile, which was a measure of distance equal to about seven modern miles (11 km). This measurement for distances eventually was converted to a time-mile used for measuring the travel of the Sun, therefore, representing time."
Also... we did and do.

May the circle be unbroken.It's the same as metric trigonometry
