You don’t need to know what it feels like.

no, but it can help

Trying to fight intolerance with intolerance isn’t successful.

blanket statements like this are rarely helpful or true

you can't just decide to build cutting edge chips

if the DoD needed cutting edge chips but had to purchase them from within the US, all that would happen is their technology would be worse for the next decade(s) until US production could catch up

given the current us procurement strategy of keeping at least a generation or so ahead of its next near-peer, i really doubt that would fly

But either you'd be strategically weakening the country to give invading forces an easier time, at which point you're throwing civilians into the meat grinder anyway, or you're starving the country until it devolves into literal anarchy, because the only people in the position to surrender were entrenched enough that they'd be the last one to see their power structure fall apart.

even if you're in a situation where it's somehow possible to manually draw 1/3 of a mm to any accuracy, 1/3 scale draft rulers still exist for metric, so it's equivalent

I seem to remember you as the one who brought up calculators

because as soon as you have access to a calculator, "off the top of your head" is an irrelevance

well yeah, because 1/8" is 3.175mm

1/3 of a mm is a distance between 1/64" and 1/128"

mechanical pencil lead is only about 0.4mm

I still don’t see how a calculator helps though.

don't ask me ask the person who posed the "what's a third of 9.5mm" question
