another thank you 7.62marksman

[texta]

bit late should of done it a few days ago . when are we going to metric time with 100 hours in a day instead just 24 .
anyway thank you very much to 7.62marksman for the ring sizer mandrel and ring size jigger things he sent me .
i did finish making my mandrel that i started a while back but have not put the size markings on it . now that i have this other one thanks to marksman i can use mine for forming with so it wont need sizes on it .
the one i made is a lot longer so slower taper and stainless steel so weighs about the same as a small car .

Not a problem mate was just collecting dust here at least you will use it :Y: :Y:

 

[reefer]

Hey TRUEBLUE!...That's twice I've been moved to say that tonight! :Y:

Because if
100 hrs = one day
700 hrs = one week
and if we decide to have a 10 day week
we then only have 36 weeks in a year with 5 days left over
even if we decided to have a 5 day week we end up with a 73 week year and would still have to have leap years.
our world ticks along that vast rolling clock of the solar system and no matter how hard you try to fit a decimal system to that forceful working of our gravity well.... it does not lay straight. It looks to fit at first glance but falls away very quickly once you want to decimalise time into weeks that fit years and so on. Even changing the beating heart of a second does not alter the length of a day or how that day fits into a year.
Already they try to distance us from the rhythm of life to convince us that we are not animals..... how else could they foist this entire folly upon us all, and have us swallow it for so long over time that we no longer see how we fit... but fit how we see.
No.... we cannot decimalise time, it would snap the final vestiges of that circadian hold to life that the future still yet deserves.

i did already know that silver , it just wont compute with the stars no matter what we do we cant change the universe (well not yet anyway). but my old man and lots of other people say there are not enough hours in the day . the truth is though that there is just the right amount . we just have to fit in with what there is . we got by just fine without clocks at all once upon a time .that does not sound very good either (no clocks once upon a time ).

Here you go Texta.... my take on the decimal calender.
Not that I condone it at all (just making that clear).
Firstly we withdraw metric time totally from astronomic time (end of old time).
So...
the new metric second is smaller than the old one.. but not by much. We go from a count of One and a to a metric count of One and... and the metric second is... .864 of the old second.
so... a day is still a day, but instead of 24 hrs we now have just 10 hours in a day.
And instead of a day having 1,440 minutes in a day we will now have only 1000 metric minutes.
And instead of a day having 86,400 seconds it will have 100,000 metric seconds.
and instead of having 7 days in a week we now have 10 metric days in one metric week.
and instead of 52 weeks in one year ...we now have 10 metric weeks in one metric year.
Now for the mind shattering.
(Remembering that we are leaving the circadian rhythms of old to go metric.)
instead of a 365 day year....wait for it.... we now have a metric 100 Day Year.
so... if we were to live to be 100 yrs old in normal time... we would be (in the new metric time) 365.25 years old.
summing up.
old time.
1 year = 365 days
1 year = 52 weeks
1 week = 7 days
1 day = 24 hours
1 hour = 60 minutes
1 minute = 60 seconds.
new metric time.
1 year = 100 days
1 year = 10 weeks
1 week = 10 days
1 day = 10 hours
1 hour = 100 minutes
1 minute = 100 seconds
1 metric second = .864 circadian (conventional seconds)

Give me a metric minute to think about that. layful:

what about putting 10 eggs in a carton instead of 12 while we are at it .a wise old mate told me why a lot of things are in dozen lots . its because a dozen is more practical because it is more divisible . can be divided by 6 , 4, 3 and 2, . where as 10 on the other hand 5 and 2

Imagine the chaos using metric years as we leave the seasons behind to do their will upon us unawares... that progression of 65 days as we trip around the sun will acue at a nasty rate in relation to the seasons.... it will take 1,460 metric years before we go full circle and start the cycle again from the beggining.... that is 400 normal circadian years. So no one living would ever see a full metric weather/season cycle, just unpredictability..... unless they were a gardener reliant on an obscure old calender.... Would probly get burned at the stake for that at some distant time in the metric future

That'll be 86.4 conventional seconds then mate

Note to self: Must get better glasses. I missed the point.....
