Ok Kitchenaid calm down

[Exterous]

I don't think anyone needs this level of specificity when looking at refrigerator dimensions

My fridge was an incredibly close fit to get into my kitchen, the delivery guys said it couldn't be done so I told them thanks and sent them home. Rubbed a little paint off the doorframe, but the fridge did fit. Maybe if they'd had this level of precision in specs I could have chosen differently.

Lol at crazy American measurements!

We didn't invent these, mate

I'm not even confident NASA uses #/125" specificity, so we (well, kitchenaid) may very well have.

Oh, those are fractions? I was having trouble parsing what I was seeing there. Once you start doing that dumb shit, maybe it would be better to just switch to metric like you have some sense?

I was thinking probably "inches" were what he was referring to.

Is it valid to call it an inch if it's less than 1% of the unit of measurement? Does anyone measure 1/100ths of a meter? Or do we call it something else?

Like nanometers?

Like nanometers?

You mean centimeters? Not sure one needs to go to the level of nanometers for measuring white goods and furniture.

I was making a point that we do, in fact, still call it a nanometer despite it being somewhat less than 1% of a unit of measurement.
