        I hope you are joking. There are no decimals in standard measuring systems. Decimals are a Communist plot. ;-)

          Unless you’re doing any kind of precision manufacturing, then it’s decimal inch notation.

            The steel that I cut has thickness measured in millimeters, the program wants it in fraction inches, and the torch spacing is in decimal inches. It’s a catastrophe but Im getting pretty good at in/mm conversion

    Coloradan here. This tweet was a joke response from the sheriff’s department to a previous incident where they described a large boulder the size of a large boulder blocking the road.

      Probably meant to write ‘the size of a large car’ originally?

      Update: I was wrong. The officer meant to say “the size of a small car”. The “larger boulder the size of a large boulder” tweet came later as a joke reference to this one.

      This reminds me of the joke about the little person psychic who escaped jail.

      They’re a small medium at large.

        Flows a bit better if you just use little psychic instead of little person psychic. Or maybe short psychic so it’s not as obvious.

      50? 50! I can’t imagine that large boulder the size of a small boulder is the same size as 50 of these?
