Please add Breaking Bad to your watchlist. And then after that, check out Better Call Saul. But promise me you’ll stick it out through the first season of Saul and continue on to the second. I promise you it’s worth it. Breaking Bad is one of the greatest shows of all time, and Saul is even better if you have the patience to let the story slowly build itself up.
I tried watching it once, but I lost interest after two seasons. It’s just not my type of show. That being said, after looking it up, I do remember the minerals thing. xD
Yep, I’m about 13 stone 1. Which I know is about 83kg. But I have no idea how many pounds in a stone. I do know that there’s about 2 and a quarter lb to a kg. Therefore I must be about 186lb.
The part I love is when you talk about the odometer in a car. They use kilometers to measure the milage. I guess kilometage just wouldn’t roll off the tongue.
Driving related measurements are a total clusterfuck. By default all distances are in miles. But distance markers along the motorways are placed at metric distances. But some markers are in yards. But then some are in fucking kilometres. And then you drive on the left, but of course there’s a fucking road in London where you drive on the right. Because fuck you, that’s why!
And then you ask their weight, and they start talking about rocks.
Then you ask about rocks and
JESUS CHRIST MARIE, THEY’RE MINERALS!
Maybe I’m just being dense rn, but… huh?

Apparently the UK still uses stone as a step above pounds. Then again, the UK is a hot mess when it comes to units…

One stone is 6,35kg or 14 liberties (that’s what the lb means, right?)
You got me interested what it stands for. It’s the Roman libra (meaning balance).
I know they use mph. Do they use km for distance or miles? I think they use meters for shorter distances so I’ve no clue.

You ask an American how much they weigh, and they tell you in money. Typical American capitalism.
Four score and seven stone = 1218 pounds
EDIT: Whoopsie, forgot to include the 7 before multiplying, it’s actually 1316.
Google says 87 stones = 1218 pounds so I think you got it right the first time?
