Troopers Find 154 Pounds of Cocaine during I-70 Traffic Stop

Yes. But considering it's only 238,855 miles to the moon, and 384,400 km. We got there much faster when you consider the shorter distance we had to go.

Why does this make me think of Spinal Tap?

Math is math. Whether you use a fractional system or one that’s base-10, the results are the same in the end. One is just faster and easier to use. Hence why MOA and MRAD both get the exact same job done in the long-range precision world. But because metric is superior, MRAD optics VASTLY outsell MOA and hold their value better. The only place that hasn’t yet been true is with America hunters because they can’t seem to wrap their heads around mils.

We made it to the moon first because we lured all the old Nazi rocket scientists here and put them to work rather than put them on trial. ANYBODY can make it to the moon if they have a) the finances and b) the intelligence. What math you use is totally irrelevant.

So again, played-out. But nice try.

Won our independence in caliber not mm.

Besides....dividing an inch by 16 is much more precise than dividing it by 10.

Significant digits matter!

Sou

But MOA is more precise than MRAD, especially if you get a 1/8" adjustment turret.

MRAD is preferred, because it's less turns of the turret.

Sounds like laziness!

I hope you two are joking lol.

“Caliber” encompasses both metric and standard bore measurements. Strike one.

You can divide an inch by 10 sure, but inches aren’t base-10. You divide a kilometer/meter/centimeter/millimeter by tens. Strike two. The centimeter is closest to an inch, so divide that by ten. Which gives you a millimeter. Which is roughly equivalent to 1/32”. Which is “mOrE pReCiSe” than 1/16”. Strike three, you’re out! Math may be math, but it’s apparently harder for some than others…

 

[DoggyDaddy]

The centimeter is closest to an inch

A centimeter is less than half an inch. 0.3937008" to be precise.

But really, that's the problem. We think in terms of "Well how many inches is that?" That has to be abandoned to convert to the metric system.

I'm sure men all over the country would appreciate finally being able to say they gave their wife 12 .....

Yes, I’m aware. But tell me what metric measurement is, as I stated in the quote, “closest to an inch” besides a centimeter???

And I know. We’d all have to adjust. But most of us would make the change with some time and our lives would all go on just fine. With a few previously noted exceptions lol.

I just turned on the tv.. ...the field is 100 yards..

I win

Also, while I’m sticking to my guns re: metric is better, I hope it’s obvious I’m just nitpicking for funsies and not trying to ACTUALLY insult anyone. Use SAE/Imperial if you want, just don’t stoop to the media’s methods (“the sinkhole could fit 427 washing machines”) lol!

WUT?

A mil is 36" at 1000 yards, at 100 it is 3.6. divide by 10 clicks and it is .36" per click.

A MOA is 10.4" at 1000 yards, at 100 it is 1". Divide that by 4 for 1/4" turrets and it .25" per click, divide by 8 for 1/8" turrets and it's .125 per click.

MOA is more precise.

MRAD is easier to figure over distance.

I was *specifically* replying to the comment of “dividing an inch by 16 is more precise than dividing it by 10” crap posted above. Meaning that a millimeter (1/10 of a cm) is smaller than 1/16 of an inch. That’s it lol. Nobody has a 1/10MOA per click turret or a 1/16 that I’m aware of, though the BR crowd does use 1/8MOA.

Trust me, I’m well aware that MOA is more precise, and I’m also well aware that unless you’re shooting at stationary KD targets from a bench, the “on-the-fly” math is easier with mrad as you just demonstrated for us (who’s doing calculations based off .125/click in their head?) haha.

Also, if we’re splitting hairs, it’s actually 10.47” at 1000.

At 2:30 p.m. a trooper pulled over a Peterbilt Semi, with no trailer, on I-70 eastbound east of Post Road for failing to signal a lane change.

therein lies the problem
