To save you the lookup: 50 lbs = ~22.5 kg


Is it just Canadians near the U.S. border that constantly convert temperatures and weights on the fly?

I see replies and bots all over the Internet for this, but I usually have it roughed out already.


Chilean-American here, absolutely. All the time. I still can barely do fahrenheit, and I've come to prefer the American system of feet and inches for human height.


A simple way to think of Fahrenheit is: 0 degrees is just about the coldest a person can stand, and 100 is the hottest.


Oh yeah it comes from body heat.


Mexican near the border here, same.


How much is this in micro-Firkins?


obviously Firkins / 1,000,000. Unless Firkins aren't in sane decimal universe for grownups but one of those feet-to-inches (or miles-to-yard, or feet to X) magical constant ones


everyone knows Firkins are measured in 7-bits. The thing I never can remember is if it is Big-Endian or Little-Endian. things are either quite big or quite small if you get the wrong endianess
