TV's and plumbing are still measured in inches in the UK, the measuring system was already in place when we went metric and it was what people were used to. Plumbing fittings are as you said now rounded off to millimetres etc. but the actual physical size is still the same as the original imperial. For example what is referred to as a 25mm fitting is actually one inch (25.4 mm).

This is simple, any plane that lands in Mexico with deportees on board doesn't have permission to leave without every passenger still being on board.

There were no monkeys when dinosaurs existed, also more time elapsed between the stegosaurus in the back existing and the t rex and triceratops than between them and us.

I wonder if there isn't a stable chamber shape that promotes turbulence in a controlled manner in order to prevent it getting out of hand? A little bit like the dimples on a golf ball create micro pockets of turbulence promoting laminar flow.

The son is going to inherit the company, he's clearly terrified and going to piss the whole thing up the wall within five years of being given the reins.

I probably got a pretty decent dose of lead due to licking my brushes in the eighties, little sets of paints in lead tubes.
