    PRESSURE 30.4 inHG

    Do Americans really use inches of mercury to measure air pressure? Even millimeters of mercury would feel weird for me in weather context. I’ve seen mmHg used mostly in medical and chemistry stuff. I guess it really is anything but metric for you guys.






  • I also use the same bottles over a period of time but I don’t think about it like I’m drinking leftovers most of the time. You might think I do but I just consider them pre-opened bottles or not even that. They’re just bottles, in very similar state to when they were opened. I’m not thinking about it like oh, this is the leftover from when I bought and opened this bottle.








  • I’ve heard of it too. You would need an analytical balance to get accurate measurements weighing a piece of paper. Just cut out the part you want to take an integral of, then cut out a piece of paper with known size (or cut several pieces with different sizes to get more accurate results) and weigh each of them. I guess this used to be cheaper and faster than using computers when computers were big and expensive.
