I like pi, and I absolutely love the imperial system of measure. The metric system lacks depth and is hollow. Like European “football” it’s awful. Anything that can’t be divided by three sucks. Real craftsman design and build in 1/8ths or 1/16ths of an inch. I buy wood by the yard. If it’s not in feet it’s gay.

Base 12 is better. Or 60, which the Egyptians used.

I agree. The human mind can divide something by two much more easily than any other fraction. So 1/2, 1/4, etc. is much easier to eyeball. Now try to determine 3/10th of something. It's extremely difficult.
