americans carefully using imperial units instead of metric to waste time of the rest of the world
… and themselves as well.
That link has your si in it. Your si is a tracking code Google uses to determine who clicked on links you shared. They want to know who your friends are for their social data models.
I had to explain this similar concept to a co-worker who always puts his tracking info in his parts orders. He didn’t understand until I started asking him about firearms parts he had been browsing on his own Amazon account.
His links are now sufficiently sanitized.
Additional recommendation: use https://linkcleaner.app or Léon URL Cleaner (Android) to automatically remove those pesky tracking parameters.
That was the most confusing discussion I’ve heard in a while. Don’t even know what the initial question was. Had to rewatch the video
What’s the difference between 6 and 7/8t and 7 and 1/4
The initial answer of 3/8 was right, but then he changed it and I just got confused.
Okay so NASA lost a $327 million Mars probe because said was transmitting trajectory corrections in the SI Units of Newton-Seconds, but the home base software was interpreting and calculating it as Pound Seconds.
Remembering that there was endless amounts of scientific equipment aboard that took years to make, and the whole enchilada took 10 months traveling through space before it could even crash.
wasting time
getting used to converting between units.
Pick one.
If your goal is to teach new material, you teach that material specifically. You dont mix other things into it because 1) it makes it harder for them to learn that new material and 2) it makes it harder for you to figure out what they dont understand.
That is actually not backed by science. Mixing material is a lot more effective than focusing on one thing.

I have tutored thousands of students. You are going to need to back what you say with relevant evidence.
At least it’s easy to remember the conversion between hours and seconds.
