  I Hate Talking: Welcome to episode 101 of I Hate Talking.
• 0:32
  I Hate Talking: Hi everyone.
• 0:33
  I Hate Talking: So I suppose we'll keep going on our Latin theme from last time because I learn something new and interesting about the word second.
• 0:43
  I Hate Talking: Second, like S E C A O.
• 0:48
  I Hate Talking: O N D S E C O N D.
• 0:53
  I Hate Talking: Yes, as in the measurement of time.
• 0:56
  I Hate Talking: 21 2nd.
• 0:57
  I Hate Talking: 2.
• 0:58
  I Hate Talking: The 2nd of something.
• 1:00
  I Hate Talking: I'm the 2nd child.
• 1:01
  I Hate Talking: Well, that's actually how 2nd got its name.
• 1:04
  I Hate Talking: OK, tell me about it.
• 1:07
  I Hate Talking: I wanna know.
• 1:08
  I Hate Talking: So Basically, it's a medieval Latin phrase that developed the word minute because they had hours and then Basically, minute became a smaller part of the hour.
• 1:25
  I Hate Talking: So, paramuta.
• 1:27
  I Hate Talking: Meant The next smallest part.
• 1:31
  I Hate Talking: Dividing up an hour into minutes.
• 1:34
  I Hate Talking: And then The phrase or word second came about because the Latin phrase was pars menuta secunda.
• 1:44
  I Hate Talking: The 2nd smallest part.
• 1:46
  I Hate Talking: Hm, but why is it the 2nd smallest part?
• 1:49
  I Hate Talking: It's smaller than a minute.
• 1:51
  I Hate Talking: Yeah, as in, like, the 2nd step in terms of reducing something.
• 1:57
  I Hate Talking: OK, so my brain saw it as like, there's a small one, and this is the next smallest.
• 2:04
  I Hate Talking: No, it's more sequential, so minute is the 1st small part, -- and then 2nd is the 2nd small -- part.
• 2:12
  I Hate Talking: OK.
• 2:12
  I Hate Talking: Well, there you go.
• 2:14
  I Hate Talking: So Do they have one for the 3rd?
• 2:18
  I Hate Talking: Is that the 3rd smallest part?
• 2:20
  I Hate Talking: Yeah, cause then I think the metric system took over and then you'd have nanoseconds and things like that.
• 2:26
  I Hate Talking: Oh, OK, but 2, so like a second is 1 Mississippi.
• 2:32
  I Hate Talking: Right, I don't know if medieval Latin people would have really a need to divide time smaller than a second in terms of the lives that they lived at that time.
• 2:42
  I Hate Talking: But do they still use it the same as like I'm the second born in my family?
• 2:47
  I Hate Talking: Does that mean the same thing?
• 2:49
  I Hate Talking: Yes, Sekunda would just mean the second thing, as in a sequential thing after the 1st.
• 2:56
  I Hate Talking: But then, like, the next thing after that is still 2nd.
• 3:01
  I Hate Talking: And then that would be 3rd.
• 3:04
  I Hate Talking: OK, well, you said that you didn't have a 3rd.
• 3:06
  I Hate Talking: Well, I don't think they had a 3rd division of time.
• 3:09
  I Hate Talking: OK, so it's not like.
• 3:11
  I Hate Talking: Minutes, seconds, and Thirds, whatever the word for third would be in Latin.
• 3:19
  I Hate Talking: OK.
• 3:20
  I Hate Talking: The second means comes after.
• 3:23
  I Hate Talking: The first, wait, what is that again?
• 3:26
  I Hate Talking: What?
• 3:29
  I Hate Talking: 2nd comes after 12 comes after 1.
• 3:31
  I Hate Talking: Yes.
• 3:32
  I Hate Talking: Give me the definition again.
• 3:33
  I Hate Talking: Pars Menuto Secunda.
• 3:38
  I Hate Talking: The 2nd smallest part.
• 3:40
  I Hate Talking: So I'm the Ps Mundo Kuma of my family.
• 3:46
  I Hate Talking: No, because I think it has more to do with Division rather than.
• 3:52
  I Hate Talking: Well, maybe not, it's a sequential division.
• 3:55
  I Hate Talking: That's what I'm trying to say.
• 3:56
  I Hate Talking: It's sequential division, not.
• 3:58
  I Hate Talking: Sequence exclusively and nor division exclusively.
• 4:02
  I Hate Talking: OK, so give me another example then, because all I can think of is a 2nd like, one Mississippi.
• 4:09
  I Hate Talking: Or I'm the second born.
• 4:11
  I Hate Talking: So what are you getting at?
• 4:13
  I Hate Talking: The etymology of the word 2 in terms of the time measurement.
• 4:18
  I Hate Talking: -- Which -- is The 2nd smallest part.
• 4:23
  I Hate Talking: Bars Manuta Sekunda.
• 4:26
  I Hate Talking: OK, I can't be the only one that's confused right now, cause when I think of the second smallest part, I think it's not the smallest, it's the next smallest.
• 4:36
  I Hate Talking: I suppose so.
• 4:38
  I Hate Talking: So I'm dividing something that's a whole, an hour into smaller parts.
• 4:43
  I Hate Talking: Minutes And then I divide that.
• 4:47
  I Hate Talking: Small part into even smaller parts.
• 4:50
  I Hate Talking: Seconds OK.
• 4:54
  I Hate Talking: Well, this is probably why we as Westerners don't think like Latin people.
• 5:00
  I Hate Talking: Because I picture that, that's a good explanation.
• 5:02
  I Hate Talking: I see that and then, OK, that's why it's seconds.
• 5:04
  I Hate Talking: But when you say second smallest, I think of.
• 5:08
  I Hate Talking: Not the smallest, but the next.
• 5:12
  I Hate Talking: In that line Yeah, another explanation here is that it says it's the 2nd reduction.
• 5:19
  I Hate Talking: OK, so you divide it and then you divide it again.
• 5:23
  I Hate Talking: OK, so I can see that, that maybe I'm, am I lost in this, because that makes sense to me, like, you have a circle, you cut it in half.
• 5:32
  I Hate Talking: And you cut that in half again.
• 5:35
  I Hate Talking: Like that makes sense to me that.
• 5:37
  I Hate Talking: Saying the second smallest makes me think.
• 5:42
  I Hate Talking: You're not the smallest, but you're the next smallest.
• 5:45
  I Hate Talking: If you have someone that's 4 ft.
• 5:47
  I Hate Talking: The person that's 42 is the next smallest.
• 5:52
  I Hate Talking: Yes, you're ranking things, yeah, but that's not what they're getting at.
• 5:56
  I Hate Talking: They're getting at you cut it in half and then you cut it in half again.
• 5:59
  I Hate Talking: Yes, and actually the way that they would have literally said that is that the division of an hour.
• 6:07
  I Hate Talking: I Literally 1st minute, which would be 1 minute, and then 2nd minute, which is seconds.
• 6:14
  I Hate Talking: Which is probably why it came to be developed as minutes and seconds because that is confusing if you just said.
• 6:20
  I Hate Talking: There's 31st minutes in an hour.
• 6:24
  I Hate Talking: -- And -- there's no, there's 60 minutes in an hour.
• 6:29
  I Hate Talking: Oh yeah, see, I'm even confusing myself.
• 6:31
  I Hate Talking: -- And then -- there's 60.
• 6:32
  I Hate Talking: Seconds in a minute.
• 6:34
  I Hate Talking: -- So it's so confusing to say's -- 62nd minutes in a minute.
• 6:40
  I Hate Talking: In a first minute.
• 6:42
  I Hate Talking: Yes, there's 602 minutes in a first minute, and there's 61st minutes in an hour.
• 6:48
  I Hate Talking: I think we're so confused and I'm sure everyone driving right now, whatever they're doing is confused too.
• 6:54
  I Hate Talking: So, OK, there's 60 minutes in an hour.
• 6:59
  I Hate Talking: We all agree on that, right?
• 7:01
  I Hate Talking: And, and in the Latin 61st minutes.
• 7:04
  I Hate Talking: Oh man.
• 7:05
  I Hate Talking: And then there are 60 seconds in a minute.
• 7:12
  I Hate Talking: Or in the Latin, there are 62nd minutes in.
• 7:17
  I Hate Talking: One first minute.
• 7:19
  I Hate Talking: Oh man.
• 7:21
  I Hate Talking: So they're saying a minute, and then they're dividing that.
• 7:24
  I Hate Talking: Is it sort of, it reminds me of cousins, the whole like, you're my first cousin, you're my second cousin once removed, and how it's hard to track all that.
• 7:34
  I Hate Talking: That's what it makes me think of, or it's like 1 minute, a 2nd minute.
• 7:39
  I Hate Talking: Right, and they, like I said, apparently have never divided.
• 7:44
  I Hate Talking: Seconds into.
• 7:46
  I Hate Talking: An additional 60 increments because that would be like.
• 7:50
  I Hate Talking: Is that nanosecond?
• 7:52
  I Hate Talking: No, because they would have, if they had a need to do that, would have divided by 60 again.
• 7:57
  I Hate Talking: Because they're using base 60 for time, and that would be Tertius.
• 8:02
  I Hate Talking: OK.
• 8:04
  I Hate Talking: 3rd, and what is a nanosecond?
• 8:07
  I Hate Talking: A nanosecond is a metric division of a second where they are taking 1 2nd and dividing that by a billion, is that right?
• 8:21
  I Hate Talking: Yes, 1 billionth of a second.
• 8:23
  I Hate Talking: Can you give us an example of that?
• 8:26
  I Hate Talking: According to Wikipedia, a nanosecond is to 1 2nd, as 1 2nd is to approximately 31.69 years.
• 8:33
  I Hate Talking: A microsecond is 1/1000 of a second, so it's faster than it's even taking a breath.
• 8:41
  I Hate Talking: Again, quick.
• 8:42
  I Hate Talking: Right, and that's why people in the 13th century would not have needed to talk in even microseconds, let alone nanoseconds.
• 8:50
  I Hate Talking: OK, can I get deep for a minute?
• 8:53
  I Hate Talking: OK.
• 8:53
  I Hate Talking: Why do we need to now then if they don't back then?
• 8:58
  I Hate Talking: So with more advanced scientific methods and especially computing and things like that where we're measuring electrical currents and circuit boards and things like that, that there is a need to go down to that level of granularity to be able to program things and understand.
• 9:18
  I Hate Talking: Mostly probably electrical type devices.
• 9:21
  I Hate Talking: Mm.
• 9:23
  I Hate Talking: So like, maybe when they send a rocket into space.
• 9:30
  I Hate Talking: That has to be that precise.
• 9:32
  I Hate Talking: I'm like in my real everyday life, I don't need it, right?
• 9:38
  I Hate Talking: Probably not, though, you use devices that are built on science that uses nanoseconds, so computing, telecommunications.
• 9:49
  I Hate Talking: I wonder, it reminds me of, we've talked about how we've moved recently and we used to live in the country and now we live in a city in suburbia, outside the city.
• 10:04
  I Hate Talking: I am shocked at how fast the Internet is, which sounds insane.
• 10:11
  I Hate Talking: I feel like a mill.
• 10:14
  I Hate Talking: Midi, what do you call it?
• 10:16
  I Hate Talking: Medieval, medieval.
• 10:19
  I Hate Talking: I feel like a medieval person almost.
• 10:21
  I Hate Talking: If I can exaggerate, because the Internet is so quick.
• 10:26
  I Hate Talking: And I forget now if we're not at home using our home internet, and I'm just using my cellular internet on my phone, how slow it is.
• 10:38
  I Hate Talking: But there was a time when we lived at our old home that my internet was the fastest out of everything, and we used mine when we had to do something quick.
• 10:48
  I Hate Talking: Now I am annoyed when I'm not at home and I have to wait for my phone to load.
• 10:55
  I Hate Talking: But it's not slower, it's just I got so used to it being immediate.
• 11:01
  I Hate Talking: Um, perhaps I think it actually is a little bit slower.
• 11:04
  I Hate Talking: I think we actually maybe had better cell service at the old property versus here.
• 11:09
  I Hate Talking: So you're saying that like, so I have AT&T for my phone.
• 11:12
  I Hate Talking: So AT&T at our old home was faster than it is here?
• 11:17
  I Hate Talking: I think so, and I have Verizon, and I think that has the same experience.
• 11:22
  I Hate Talking: So we just might not be as close to a cell tower or we're now in a more populated area, so more people have more devices connected to the cell network.
• 11:32
  I Hate Talking: -- But -- do you notice that your home internet, if you're on the home Wi Fi, it's much faster than your cell?
• 11:39
  I Hate Talking: Yeah, why is that then?
• 11:41
  I Hate Talking: That was not the case at home.
• 11:44
  I Hate Talking: If we needed anything quick, we had to go onto our cell phones or even do our hotspots on our cell phones.
• 11:52
  I Hate Talking: Right, well, I'm saying that, yes, our internet is faster here, home internet.
• 11:57
  I Hate Talking: And it is faster than the cell service, but I'm saying that the cell service at the old property was better than cell service here.
• 12:06
  I Hate Talking: I'll believe you.
• 12:09
  I Hate Talking: I don't know if that's true, but I feel like I just got used to.
• 12:12
  I Hate Talking: Immediate response.
• 12:16
  I Hate Talking: Maybe, I believe you.
• 12:18
  I Hate Talking: Right?
• 12:19
  I Hate Talking: And then our old internet at our old property was still slow even after upgrading it.
• 12:24
  I Hate Talking: Remember how slow it was even before we had that upgrade?
• 12:27
  I Hate Talking: Yes, um, yes, I do.
• 12:31
  I Hate Talking: We used to only be able to watch one movie.
• 12:34
  I Hate Talking: A month on our cell service or on our Wi Fi at home.
• 12:39
  I Hate Talking: Before it went to like a crawling, buffering, constant speed.
• 12:44
  I Hate Talking: We could watch one full movie, maybe 1.5.
• 12:48
  I Hate Talking: And we were done for the month.
• 12:51
  I Hate Talking: And we had family visit and they always kind of joked about how insane it was that we lived so far in the country that this was an issue.
• 13:01
  I Hate Talking: And then they came and visited after the upgrade and they were shocked.
• 13:05
  I Hate Talking: And again, they admitted that this is not good, it still wasn't good, but it was significantly better than.
• 13:14
  I Hate Talking: What we had cuz we could watch.
• 13:17
  I Hate Talking: I don't want to exaggerate.
• 13:19
  I Hate Talking: What did you say?
• 13:20
  I Hate Talking: Maybe 34 movies without buffering?
• 13:23
  I Hate Talking: Right.
• 13:24
  I Hate Talking: Well, there was a certain allotment that you were guaranteed the higher speed and then it would slow down after that.
• 13:31
  I Hate Talking: -- So -- yes.
• 13:32
  I Hate Talking: Yeah, 12, maybe 3.
• 13:36
  I Hate Talking: Yes, even they noticed they were like, wow, what happened?
• 13:40
  I Hate Talking: This is so quick.
• 13:41
  I Hate Talking: I'm like.
• 13:42
  I Hate Talking: It got upgraded, even then we all knew this wasn't good.
• 13:47
  I Hate Talking: It wasn't a great service, but.
• 13:50
  I Hate Talking: It was infinitely better.
• 13:53
  I Hate Talking: And so, yeah, just the, how quick we get used to upgrades, because then we started getting annoyed at the upgrade.
• 14:01
  I Hate Talking: And we'd have to remind ourselves this is so much better than it was.
• 14:05
  I Hate Talking: That's true, and there's a use of milliseconds because You not only measure your download speed and your upload speed, but also your ping.
• 14:17
  I Hate Talking: That's basically how fast you are getting responses from the server.
• 14:22
  I Hate Talking: And right now I just did a speed test on our home Wi Fi at our new house and it is 14 milliseconds, which is pretty good.
• 14:31
  I Hate Talking: After our upgrade at our old property, we would maybe get like.
• 14:36
  I Hate Talking: 200, maybe up to 500, 600 on a bad day, but before the upgrade, we would consistently get 1000 millisecond pings, which is terrible.
• 14:48
  I Hate Talking: I, I never quite knew what I was looking at, but you'd occasionally have me check the speed of the internet, and I would, if I knew the ratio of a good day versus bad day.
• 15:01
  I Hate Talking: I didn't quite understand it.
• 15:03
  I Hate Talking: So you're saying that you're getting 14 right now.
• 15:07
  I Hate Talking: 14 milliseconds, yes, -- and -- we used to get like 1000, 1000.
• 15:13
  I Hate Talking: OK.
• 15:14
  I Hate Talking: And then when it's that slow, you might not even measure it in milliseconds.
• 15:18
  I Hate Talking: It might as well be in seconds because that is over 1 2nd paying time.
• 15:22
  I Hate Talking: And what, how many milliseconds?
• 15:23
  I Hate Talking: I know you told us earlier, a millisecond is how many seconds?
• 15:27
  I Hate Talking: I did not say that earlier because we were talking about microseconds.
• 15:30
  I Hate Talking: 00, milliseconds is 1/1000 of a second.
• 15:35
  I Hate Talking: Is a micro More or less than a male.
• 15:40
  I Hate Talking: 2nd.
• 15:42
  I Hate Talking: microsecond is Much smaller, it is 1 million of a second.
• 15:48
  I Hate Talking: OK, so a microsecond, then millisecond, then 2.
• 15:53
  I Hate Talking: From small to large, yes.
• 15:56
  I Hate Talking: And Talk to me like I'm a 5 year old.
• 16:00
  I Hate Talking: What are we talking about right now?
• 16:01
  I Hate Talking: For ping measurements, milliseconds.
• 16:06
  I Hate Talking: The smallest or second smallest.
• 16:08
  I Hate Talking: Well, if you go by Latin terms, it would be The 3rd smallest of an hour.
• 16:15
  I Hate Talking: OK.
• 16:16
  I Hate Talking: So not the smallest, smallest, but.
• 16:20
  I Hate Talking: The 3rd smallest.
• 16:22
  I Hate Talking: Well, when you have the metric system, you can go as small as you want.
• 16:24
  I Hate Talking: But I don't.
• 16:27
  I Hate Talking: I'm trying to follow this micro and.
• 16:30
  I Hate Talking: See, I would go in the Latin order.
• 16:34
  I Hate Talking: I would go from largest to smallest, not the other way around.
• 16:37
  I Hate Talking: OK, -- and lead me through -- this.
• 16:39
  I Hate Talking: Hour, minute, second, millisecond, microsecond, nanosecond.
• 16:43
  I Hate Talking: And there might be some descriptions in between there.
• 16:46
  I Hate Talking: I don't know.
• 16:47
  I Hate Talking: And our internet is in the ping is in milliseconds, which is the 3rd.
• 16:54
  I Hate Talking: Yes, hour, minute.
• 16:57
  I Hate Talking: 2nd millisecond, 4th.
• 17:00
  I Hate Talking: No, a minute is the 1st.
• 17:02
  I Hate Talking: OK, well, -- you said our first -- from our Latin friends.
• 17:06
  I Hate Talking: Hours 0, minute is 1st, second is 2nd, as we were talking about at the beginning of the episode, and then milliseconds would be 3rd.
• 17:16
  I Hate Talking: Right, OK, I believe that.
• 17:18
  I Hate Talking: All right.
• 17:19
  I Hate Talking: And how many milliseconds are in a second?
• 17:24
  I Hate Talking: 1000.
• 17:25
  I Hate Talking: So it takes at our old home, it took 1 2nd.
• 17:30
  I Hate Talking: To upload something.
• 17:32
  I Hate Talking: No, it took 1 2nd to just ping the other end of the internet to say, hey, we have some, something that we want you to download or upload.
• 17:41
  I Hate Talking: So I say, dear Google, what is a millisecond?
• 17:45
  I Hate Talking: Send, and then it takes one Mississippi.
• 17:48
  I Hate Talking: For it to let it know that I asked a question.
• 17:52
  I Hate Talking: Right, and then it has to respond back and say, what is your question?
• 17:56
  I Hate Talking: And then it has to upload the question and it has to download the answer.
• 18:00
  I Hate Talking: So that's part of the reason it was so slow, not only the upload and download speeds, but the extra time just to Acknowledge the communication back and forth between systems, which is why my internet seems so fast now because instead of saying one Mississippi.
• 18:15
  I Hate Talking: Here's my question.
• 18:18
  I Hate Talking: Now I just say, instead of saying, hey Google, what is a millisecond?
• 18:23
  I Hate Talking: It doesn't say one Mississippi to get there, so what is there.
• 18:28
  I Hate Talking: Yes, that's a very scientific way of describing it, I suppose.
• 18:32
  I Hate Talking: Good.
• 18:33
  I Hate Talking: All right.
• 18:34
  I Hate Talking: I learned a lot today, thank you.
• 18:36
  I Hate Talking: Hopefully, no one else is confused.
• 18:38
  I Hate Talking: I was super confused, but I think I'm on the right track.
• 18:40
  I Hate Talking: Over, hopefully everyone else is on that same track now too.
• 18:44
  I Hate Talking: Well, that does, I guess, give some credence to the metric system and describing time in terms of divisions of 10s and hundreds and thousands instead of 60, where you're talking about.
• 18:59
  I Hate Talking: The first part, the 2nd part, and so on.
• 19:04
  I Hate Talking: So I know you hate, you've mentioned before that you hate the base 10 system.
• 19:09
  I Hate Talking: Do you prefer the 60 system?
• 19:12
  I Hate Talking: I think just because it is so ingrained in our society that It's fine.
• 19:19
  I Hate Talking: Phase 10.
• 19:20
  I Hate Talking: No, be 60.
• 19:22
  I Hate Talking: 60.
• 19:23
  I Hate Talking: So then why do you hate base 10?
• 19:26
  I Hate Talking: The same reason, because miles and feet and inches are so ingrained in our everyday conversation and culture that that is how we just do things, and it's relatively well understood.
• 19:42
  I Hate Talking: Like even just something simple where a speed limit would be stated in kilometers per hour.
• 19:47
  I Hate Talking: It is not something that is intuitive because we've used MPH for all of our lives.
• 19:54
  I Hate Talking: We have a child.
• 19:56
  I Hate Talking: Oh, I love him.
• 19:58
  I Hate Talking: He has decided that he hates Fahrenheit.
• 20:03
  I Hate Talking: And only talks in Celsius.
• 20:06
  I Hate Talking: Which is great Except for it is a very obvious when somebody says something here in America, we always talk in Fahrenheit.
• 20:17
  I Hate Talking: And he will react as if it's Celsius.
• 20:21
  I Hate Talking: And I tell him you can't do that, buddy like.
• 20:24
  I Hate Talking: I understand you prefer Celsius, but we live in a Fahrenheit world, and he refuses.
• 20:30
  I Hate Talking: Someone says something about temperature.
• 20:32
  I Hate Talking: If they say like, what's the temp like, how hot is that?
• 20:36
  I Hate Talking: Meat coming out of the oven.
• 20:38
  I Hate Talking: He'll give it to you in Celsius, as if it's a fact.
• 20:42
  I Hate Talking: It's like you can't, this is not the world you can do that in.
• 20:45
  I Hate Talking: And it is um.
• 20:48
  I Hate Talking: Sweet and obnoxious, and he hates Fahrenheit and he refuses to live in a Fahrenheit world.
• 20:55
  I Hate Talking: Yeah, I mean, it's been more of an issue recently where our weather has been all over the place, and I think that's true for most of the US right now that there's hot days and cold days.
• 21:07
  I Hate Talking: So when you say it's 40 degrees out, it could be that it's 40 °F, probably not so likely 40 °C, but maybe.
• 21:18
  I Hate Talking: Yes, and the weather, maybe a better example would be like.
• 21:22
  I Hate Talking: 20 degrees.
• 21:24
  I Hate Talking: 20 degrees has been probably not in the last month or so, but It has been 20 °C in the last few.
• 21:32
  I Hate Talking: Yeah, yeah, that's Celsius for us, yes, um, Fahrenheit, no, but it is obnoxious cause we'll be like, what's the weather like?
• 21:43
  I Hate Talking: I'm like, it's gonna be 65.
• 21:46
  I Hate Talking: And he's like, Celsius, oh man, it's gonna be so hot.
• 21:52
  I Hate Talking: You know, I mean Fahrenheit.
• 21:56
  I Hate Talking: It's 65 °F.
• 21:59
  I Hate Talking: It's a very pleasant day outside.
• 22:02
  I Hate Talking: Right, I don't think it's 149 °F outside.
• 22:06
  I Hate Talking: Yes, and I I think it's a bit he's doing, but it's starting to get old, cuz I can't convince him that we live.
• 22:18
  I Hate Talking: He tries to tell me all the perks of Celsius over Fahrenheit, and I believe him.
• 22:24
  I Hate Talking: But we live in a Fahrenheit world, so he needs to accept it.
• 22:30
  I Hate Talking: Or we could just start doing everything in Kelvin.
• 22:34
  I Hate Talking: No, no We're gonna do our own.
• 22:37
  I Hate Talking: Can we just make up our own family?
• 22:40
  I Hate Talking: Measurement, I suppose so.
• 22:44
  I Hate Talking: Anything is possible.
• 22:45
  I Hate Talking: Um, I think Yale.
• 22:48
  I Hate Talking: OK, this might be false, cause I'm a Gilmore Girls fan, so I haven't googled it, you can if you want.
• 22:58
  I Hate Talking: But in Gilmore Girls, they go to Yale, and it's a big part of the storyline is called the Yale.
• 23:07
  I Hate Talking: University culture.
• 23:10
  I Hate Talking: Measurement based on a certain child, like a certain student that went there.
• 23:15
  I Hate Talking: Uh, I forget what.
• 23:18
  I Hate Talking: His name is at the time, but that's how they measure everything is by this one individual's height.
• 23:24
  I Hate Talking: So should we just do that?
• 23:27
  I Hate Talking: So it wasn't a temperature unit for Yale.
• 23:28
  I Hate Talking: I was just searching for Yale temperature.
• 23:30
  I Hate Talking: Oh, I'm sorry.
• 23:31
  I Hate Talking: I'm kind of going back and forth.
• 23:33
  I Hate Talking: I get it from minutes to temperature to now length.
• 23:38
  I Hate Talking: Did you find anything, or is it a Gilmore Girls lore?
• 23:44
  I Hate Talking: There's a MIT.
• 23:47
  I Hate Talking: One Not finding anything on Yale.
• 23:51
  I Hate Talking: But This may be related.
• 23:57
  I Hate Talking: Maybe you're not remembering if it's Yale or MIT.
• 24:00
  I Hate Talking: No, it's definitely Yale.
• 24:02
  I Hate Talking: She goes to Yale, the parents go to Yale.
• 24:04
  I Hate Talking: So maybe they stole it from MIT because MIT has a smoot, which is where a particular person laid down repeatedly on the Harvard Bridge.
• 24:16
  I Hate Talking: And they used his height to measure the length of the bridge.
• 24:20
  I Hate Talking: And that was in 1958.
• 24:24
  I Hate Talking: They were doing silly things like that.
• 24:26
  I Hate Talking: OK, no, it wasn't, it's not smooth, a cropog.
• 24:32
  I Hate Talking: It's a fictional unit of measurement in Gilmore Girls.
• 24:36
  I Hate Talking: So, OK, it's fictional, fictional, but it could have borrowed from the true story of MIT because Gilmore Girls came after a smoot in 1958.
• 24:48
  I Hate Talking: Yes.
• 24:49
  I Hate Talking: Supposedly it comes from class of 1944.
• 24:54
  I Hate Talking: But it is fictional and humorous, apparently.
• 24:58
  I Hate Talking: Acropog is what suppose in Gilmore Girls' world, how they measure length.
• 25:05
  I Hate Talking: There you go.
• 25:07
  I Hate Talking: So yes, I suppose we can make our own temperature units if we so desire.
• 25:11
  I Hate Talking: Yeah, Gilmore Girls does it.
• 25:13
  I Hate Talking: The America's do it, so we should.
• 25:18
  I Hate Talking: The Americas, I don't know, it's like the one thing that we kept from Britain.
• 25:23
  I Hate Talking: What?
• 25:27
  I Hate Talking: You don't do kilometers in Britain.
• 25:29
  I Hate Talking: Commoners?
• 25:31
  I Hate Talking: What is commoners?
• 25:32
  I Hate Talking: It's so late, kilometers.
• 25:37
  I Hate Talking: I thought you were referring to our imperial units as the commoners units.
• 25:42
  I Hate Talking: Kilometers, kilometers.
• 25:46
  I Hate Talking: Well, they do now Yes, but the imperial system was officially established by the British Weights and Measures Act of 1824.
• 25:57
  I Hate Talking: OK, can you, OK, we're running late, we gotta finish this up quick, but tell me, super fast.
• 26:04
  I Hate Talking: Um Britain made our system, we took it here to America and they changed and we stuck with it.
• 26:15
  I Hate Talking: Yes, apparently in 1965, the Federation of British Industry told the British government that they wanted the metric system.
• 26:24
  I Hate Talking: And The government agreed and supported a 10-year.
• 26:30
  I Hate Talking: Quote unquote, metrification program.
• 26:34
  I Hate Talking: And then in The rest is history.
• 26:37
  I Hate Talking: So our numbers came from that, correct.
• 26:40
  I Hate Talking: So it's like when we use their, and we call it the dollar, but if we use their Pound pound.
• 26:49
  I Hate Talking: And how like they still use the pound, but they also take the euro in most places.
• 26:57
  I Hate Talking: If they get rid of the pound completely, it's that kind of idea.
• 27:00
  I Hate Talking: Yes Hm Why I don't want to talk bad about our British friends or our allies.
• 27:12
  I Hate Talking: Well, now they are, I think.
• 27:14
  I Hate Talking: But Why did they change?
• 27:20
  I Hate Talking: Cause in history, it makes it sound like they're like, this is the way it is, and we're not gonna change, and y'all are our people.
• 27:27
  I Hate Talking: But they do change They did change, yeah, in 1965 from their imperial system, which the imperial system wasn't really theirs to begin with.
• 27:37
  I Hate Talking: It was more of the standardization of all the things that they Gained from all their different.
• 27:45
  I Hate Talking: Things that they were doing across the globe similar to how English has a lot of words that are from many different countries and cultures.
• 27:54
  I Hate Talking: They took all their measurement systems and consolidated it and standardized standardized it into the imperial system.
• 28:01
  I Hate Talking: -- And then we -- got stuck with it.
• 28:03
  I Hate Talking: And we're not gonna change because America is too big and too divided as it is.
• 28:11
  I Hate Talking: We're just stuck with this now.
• 28:13
  I Hate Talking: That's true.
• 28:13
  I Hate Talking: I'll be happy if they changed daily savings time, but if we ever went to the metric system, I probably wouldn't be as opposed as I used to be.
• 28:20
  I Hate Talking: I think it is.
• 28:21
  I Hate Talking: Have its benefits Yeah, theoretically, I'm not opposed.
• 28:27
  I Hate Talking: But I am because I just don't want to learn something new.
• 28:32
  I Hate Talking: I suppose that's true.
• 28:36
  I Hate Talking: It took us 30 minutes to talk about what a microsecond and nanosecond is.
• 28:43
  I Hate Talking: Indeed, All right.
• 28:46
  I Hate Talking: I'll just keep with how we're doing things now.
• 28:50
  I Hate Talking: Well, there you go.
• 28:52
  I Hate Talking: So this episode should be about half an hour.
