Alex played Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and the UK blocked the Microsoft/Activision merger, so you can imagine we devoted a lot of this episode to those subjects. But also: Advance Wars: Reboot Camp, Horizon: Burning Shores, Stranded: Alien Dawn, condiment strategies, and accidentally getting elected to office.

there’s a bit of a generational metric/imperial split in the UK, but its more often just a case where imperial has stuck around for certain measurements (miles and yards particularly) but most things use metric now. the “bring back imperial measurements” was just one of those ridiculous conservative wheezes designed to generate political opinion articles, a pure example of “today’s news is tomorrow’s fish & chip paper”

If I remember correctly the US was going to go to the metric system at some point, but the ship carrying the standardized weights sank crossing the Atlantic.

hey Nextlander, let me share my experience of growing up with mixed metric and imperial. Puerto Rico used to belong to Spain. Today it's part of the US. So food products and such go through the FDA so everything is in imperial but our roads and signs are in kilometers and gasoline is sold in liters. so your average puertorrican is good at using metric for distance but imperial for everything else. cheers!
