Sorry, I doubt you understand the metric system,
Dont apoligise, Why would anyone want to learn that jap system. It
makes no sence.
Bwahahahahahahahahaha. It's a French system originally and now used by
every 1st World country except the USA.
French, sheeezeee that almost as bad as the japs.
And every 1st world country beside America wants to follow the smelly
frogs let em.
God, you're funny. Reminds me of the US cruising yachties who reach the
Pacific and suddenly find that very few other places use 110V power, so
all their broken stuff can't be replaced locally. I see it all the
time, we have a whole collection of 240-110 transformers just for the
visiting American scientists. One turkey wanted us to provide 110V 60
Hz power; I told him to bring his own. Your power system sucks,
big-time. Then again you probably don't realise that the US power
system is not only not universal, it's uncommon. 220-240V power single
phase, 415V 3 phase is what you'll find in most places.
BTW, the American scientific community uses SI units. The people out of
step are troglodytes like you, and they're a dying breed. I used to
hang out on rec.crafts.metalworking; we worked this one to death.
Didn't you ever learn anything
in school? Or contrariwise, didn't the school you went to bother to
teach anything about the world outside the USA?
Yeah we learned how the French were cowards in WW11. We learned your
country was a dumping ground for prisoners,
Yep, right after the UK stopped using the Americas as a dumping ground.
You lot got the first & worst of the UK offcasts, probably something
else they didn't teach you in school.
and we learned the metric
system was not worth the effort to learn unless we were dumb enough to
buy a Jap car and willing to work on it ourselfs.
Funny how your aerospace industry is metric. Your scientific community
is metric. I guess it's everyone *you* know that has real learning
difficulties with a nice logical decimal based measurement system. BTW
I grew up with the old Imperial system that we all got from the
British, but Australia converted to metric. I know both systems, nearly
all my machine tools are Imperial and I can convert between them
easily.
how
many acres or square miles?
830,000 acres 60,000 head of cattle 1000's of other types of wild
game. They work most the cattle with helocopters ultralights
motorcycles and horseback.
Sorry but it isn't the biggest by far. 830,000 acres is 336,032
hectares. That's only 3360 square kilometers or 1297 square miles.
There are a lot of properties in the Northern Territory and Western
Australia bigger than that.
really, they are working ranches, or just wastelands that someone
owns.
Working ranches, they run cattle.
Guess that's another Texan claim that
doesn't stand close examination.
Does until you can post a link to a working ranch using all it's land,
not some outback dust bowl that no one works or wants.
Cop out. I could care less what your opinion is & you're welcome to
disbelieve anything you want to.
BTW I lived in AZ for a while, wandered over AZ, NM & parts of Texas.
Don't talk to *me* about wastelands & dust bowls.

Dont bother with your silly french conversion site links, I could care
less.
Just in case you ever want to extend your limited education. Pry open
that closed mind, Joe. It'll only hurt for a little while and the pain
will be worth it.
Peter no need to get nasty, we are proud of the measurement systems
we have in place.
You mean the one you got from the British, old obsolete & discarded
nearly everywhere else? You *do* realise that it isn't an American
measurement system don't you?
If you guys want to follow the vichy French feel
free.
Bwahahahahahahahahahahahaha. Joe, the metric system predates Vichy
France by 100+ years. You really *didn't* learn anything in school, did
you?
I like the standard system
So do I. Didn't realise you're going to agree with me. BTW another name
for the metric system is SI - standard international. The system you
use is the old Imperial system. You've just shot yourself in the foot.
Again.
and have no need for your french
system. You will not find one metric tool in my box. They are all
Standard American Made Craftmans tools none of that Jap or Tia metric
crapola. Only thing on my boat that has any thing to do with the
metric system is ammo thanks to NATO.
Whatever. I have metric, SAE, Whitworth. Then again I obviously work on
a bigger variety of stuff than you do, and of a lot more modern
vintage. If all you have is a 60's Detroit iron car and a boat of
similar vintage, you won't need much.
Tip for you, though. Don't go far from US territorial waters. Nothing
is going to go well for you, with your mindset.
