There are only three four countries that do not use the metric system.
One of them is a former British colony that parted ways over some taxed tea,
the second country was formed from former nonvoluntary agrarian workers from the former British colony that parted ways over some taxed tea,
and the third …
is surprising.

My friend Bibo commented on FaceGoogleMyBookPlusSpace,
that growing up in the Bahamas,
he remembered using the Imperial System and not the metric system.
And from some checking (granted, I only checked two sites) it appears they may still use the Imperial System.
I wonder if there are any more countries that don't use the Metric System?
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
