Ovens: the YouTuber Atomic Shrimp just had his kitchen rebuilt and he noted that his new oven had the temperature control set 90° when pointed right, 180° when pointed down, 270° when pointed left - you rotated the knob the number of angular degrees you wanted in Celcius degrees. He noted that the fahrenheit version wouldn't be able to do that

Australia is very metric. Though our 25mm water fittings will fit with pre-metric inch fittings (and likewise for all of plumbing)

We have pints in beer glasses, regionally have to specify British pints due to some places having a metric pint a fair bit smaller

Hah, that's smart. I like that.

Also woo, dials. I hate how most ovens use capacitive buttons nowadays.
