    I don’t want to enter the giveaway (my Steam backlog is big enough as it is) so I’ll say my nice things here instead. :)

    Thanks for providing a safe and welcoming place for us Reddit refuges. Been here for I think almost a year now and it’s been so nice being a part of a smaller instance that still has so much activity. I’m not the most active user, but I try to engage more here than I did on Reddit to do my part in promoting community.

    Thanks for everything you do!

    I’d argue the two greatest barriers for the average, non-STEM individual adopting metric in America is the speed limits being in mph and the temperature being in °F. Both are convertible easily enough, but when you constantly have to do so to engage with critical infrastructure or safety (cooking temps, etc.) It provides a barrier against adoption for anyone without the drive to make a concerted effort to use metric.
