Kilograms are mass, but pounds are weight. Therefore 0 kg = 0 slug, or 0 N = 0 lbs

Secular homeschool graduate here. Parents homeschooled my brother and I because the public school system was drastically underfunded and we were in quite an education desert. I always hate articles like this, as folks tend to paint broad strokes about homeschoolers... But there's a reason we never had other homeschooled friends growing up; there were a lot of crazy ones, especially in Michigan, as there is virtually no regulation.
I was in the same boat. Started marinating them in balsamic vinegar with a bit of salt and pepper and I can't stop eating them! You can add rosemary, hot pepper flakes, etc to change the flavor as you wish.
Yooper here. Your example is on the money, but perhaps moreso than you know: The UP is also heavily populated by Finnish-Americans, which helps explain the cultural resilience and independence as well. The same dimensions that have kept Finland independent from Russia, keep the UP independent from others - and, holy wah, if I had a nickel every time we talked about breaking away from the trolls South of the bridge while at deer camp...

Sorry, perhaps this is a disciplinary difference. In engineering, physics, and biomechanics (my doctoral specialization), and from a unit standard perspective, the pound representing both mass and weight is a false equivalency born out of convenience. This is why the Imperial standard for mass is the slug, allowing for gravitational acceleration of a mass to equate to a force.
