That we do Mutt... there seems to be only one problem with that feature. It requires a man to move his wrist and a finger. Surprisingly most of these new fangle remotes haven't come up voice activated options, which would make many men happy.

Don't you know? The rest of the world is metric and the U.S. is the ONLY country that is still right.

Technically, the conversions and math is a lot easier in metrics but all of the American engineers n scientists have lived in the English system so we don't have a feel for metrics. You tell me 700 gallons per minute and I can size all sorts of equipment off the top of my head. You tell me 700 liters per minute and I have to convert to gpm before I can have a real feel for the size of equipment required.


It's like me telling you a horse is 180 centimeters at the withers. You'd have to convert to inches and then to hands before you had a good feel for how big he is.


P.S. - On an entertaining note, the English system is named because the English came up with it and a lot of it was originally based on the measurements of the King of England. Now, the English have abandonned their own system for metrics which are based on more constant items such as the speed of light in a vacuum (which, technically speaking, is not constant and is slowing down).

Plethora of BS would be more appropriate. When in doubt, baffle em with BS.




On a comical side note, one area of expertise that I have is statistical analysis. I discovered many years ago that three magic phrases in a presentation will hit the audience like Mr. Freeze's freeze gun in the Batman movies. Those phrases are mean, standard deviation, and gaussion distribution. You say those magic words and the eyes will just glaze over with one or two exceptions that will sit there nodding their heads knowingly. If you mention Krieging, you can usually glaze over the last 1 or 2 as well. If you don't, LOOK OUT.
