• 1 Liter is equal to 1dm³ (which no one uses really but it doesn’t matter since the equivalency is at mL = cc
• a grain of rice is about 0.02 gr so idk where you got that from. Weights were manufactured originally as was the meter (platinum cylinder and bar respectively, the originals are still in a museum in Paris)

• A yard is just as arbitrary as anything else, it was a rod made somewhere around the 1500’s and was kept in London. Nowadays much like any other imperial unit, the sizes are based off their metric counterparts. is 1yd = 0.9144m exactly.
• Metric time has been attempted (1000 ticks in a day) didn’t work super well. But like I said theres a ton of non metric units in the SI.

Fixed point in time, the device can’t travel there. And if they did travel there the time continuum would start to unravel.

What does World of Warcraft’s market have to do with this?

I had a bunch of them, pencils with patterns of all sorts. The thing was using a pencil that was white on the outside with some noise and then the glue would give it laminated effect which makes it hard to spot that there’s anything on it from afar.

Finest font size your inkjet could muster, small piece of paper glued on with Elmer’s glue onto your fancy pencil with decals on it.
