It's currently a balmy +2C here in Ottawa. Thanks for converting, Canada! (Although I still measure my weight in pounds)

A switch to #metric speed limits would allow all speed limits to be reviewed at no extra cost.

Should the national speed limit be increased?

It's 60 years today since the national speed limit on motorways was set to 70mph.

Cars are arguably safer, and our motorways are much more advanced.

But would you want to see the speed limit on motorways increased?

I’m a fan of the metric system.
I'm a fan of Robert Frost.
But not their combo.
It fear it detrimental to his sense of meter.

The woods are lovely, dark, and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And kilometers to go before I … Nah.

I am currently in the process of converting my life to the metric system.
Please bear with me as I free myself from the US foot fetish.

Good morning. 😴⏰☕

25 August 2025

Wow—it's in the 60s this morning. My phone says 69°F, my computer says 66°F. Both are, of course, Fahrenheit readings, because for some reason the metric system never quite took root here in the United States—except in ...

"Two birds perch near the top of a leafless tree, their silhouettes crisp and still against a soft, overcast sky. The branches stretch upward like skeletal fingers, sparse and angular, forming a delicate lattice that frames the birds without crowding them. Most leaves have fallen—only a few linger, curled and quiet, like punctuation marks in a fading sentence. The sky behind them is a muted gradient, shifting from pale gray to a faint, warmer hue near the horizon. It’s the kind of light that suggests either early morning or late evening—ambiguous, contemplative. There’s no sun visible, but its presence is implied, diffused behind the clouds like a secret withheld. The birds are small but distinct, their posture alert yet calm. They face opposite directions, as if keeping watch or simply sharing a moment of quiet companionship. Their placement near the top of the frame gives them a sense of elevation—not just physical, but emotional. They are the focal point, yet they don’t dominate; they harmonize with the stark geometry of the branches and the softness of the sky. The overall mood is one of solitude, not loneliness. It’s the kind of scene that invites reflection—on seasons, on stillness, on the quiet rituals of observation. The watermark in the corner, “© Swede’s Photographs,” is subtle and respectful, like a signature on a letter that doesn’t need to be read aloud." - Copilot

I used to think the Imperial measurements in D&D were to make it seem old-timey as I'd struggle with feet and Fahrenheit until I realised that for Americans, it's just Tuesday
