Yes. We don't use metric in the USA and you can't make us :)

I have a addon that autoconverts imperial units. Your comment is the only thing peaking out of the insanity bubble. =)

I'm not American, but I would have understood what you meant had you written sq yd instead.

NASA demonstrates otherwise.

And the military, and for science, some parts of government. And wine bottles and soft drinks, but not milk or beer.
It’s like Windows with its half-hearted efforts to modernise it’s interface.

> no need to truck in jersey barriers.
The video clearly shows barriers between the workers and the active surface lane.
Keep in mind, though, you don't lose a lane of traffic. There is no need to truck in jersey barriers. You don't have to build an entire temporary detour road. You don't pay a consultant $200/hr to design a traffic control plan.
I think the real value is safety. The crew is shielded by the bridge and you have complete grade separation from traffic. That's a lot better than an orange barrel being the only thing between you and a minivan.
