Congratulations, you've found a site to do physics 101, unit conversions, for you. Why exactly did you feel the need to post this?

Amazing.

I figured out how to do that myself.
In my head.
Before EVE even made it out of beta.
Physics classes!

Besides, I know what a meter is, unlike you americans. I know how to use the metric system.
WAY easier than just remembering all those ratios for everything.

Lol at the flamers. Big ******* deal he posted a site with a conversion formula that can get you an answer in a couple clicks. So worthy of derision that is. He must be a maroon

Thanks to science and civilization my country already uses the metrics system.

Please tell me too if you find a site which can convert farenheit to something logical Cool

What do you want? Celsius or the superior Kelvin?

Did you know:

The value of a person can be measured by converting their weight from kilogram to pounds and from pounds to dollar.

One kilogram is about $3.54 currently.

Just when you thought your fat, dumb ass is not worth a penny.

Loss is meaningful. Therefore is the loss of meaning likewise meaningful. It is the source of all trolling.

I'll only do SI.

Well, then maybe you should learn to use the metric system like most of the world?

We do.

Well you do if you are in any science or engineering related field.

I can use SAE, metric and/or their SI varients interchangeably......as well as knots.


This is almost as silly as the whine thread about American spellings.

"1 Meter is equivalent to 0.121512345679 Weinermobile"

I demand weinermobile per second be the new standard!
