I'm using enough american media that I've grown somewhat used to pounds, feets and even inches, but man, whenever they're talking Fahrenheit it sounds like crazy talk. C to K is super basic (C -273 = K, done!), but the scaling of Fahrenheit is just nonsentical (yes, I'm aware of the formula. No, it's STILL nonsentical. Fahrenheit was 122.4% drunk, no doubt.)

12:26 - ⚠ Hot tip! If you're trying to start a fire using friction, like they demonstrate here, use a dry base block of wood and a small, FRESH branch. They make the mistake of using dry wood only. The sap in the wood of branch will create greater friction, and it is the Muscle Power translated into Friction Heat by Motion that creates the smolder which you can use to light the DRY tinder with. Rubbing two dry sticks togeher demands an enormous pressure or really rapid motion to create the same result. You run the risk of becoming exhausted before the fire catches, which is a Bad Deal in a survival situation where you might be dehydrated and/or starving already by the time you light a fire. So, fresh stick against dry firewood is the way to go. A bow, or if you have a rope over a branch of a tree tied to a rock, gravity assisted lighting, translates the Muscle Power into Friction more easily. Yet another GREAT MythBusters Episode! A Real Classic! 👍

I'm English and in the building trade for long time, we use imperial and metric measurements according to what we're doing. You have to bear in mind that a huge amount of our housing stock was built before we went partially metric. Window and door sizes ceiling heights, brick sizes, plywood sizes, even today relate more easily to humans than the metric system. I mean our land measurements, like building plots are stated in acres. our allotment system is measured in rods. Who cares what a kilometre is! We weigh ourselves in stones, our food in ounces, our horses in hands. Base ten is for people who count on their fingers. Temperature is for the older of us is thought of in Fahrenheit.

iirc (and I’m sure this as already been said somewhere in the comments): There is a confirmed kill of an A6M5 over Japan in 1945 by an F4U via the latter’s propeller. Upon landing the F4U was missing something like 8 inches off the blades. Damaged the elevators and rudder enough such that the A6M no longer had pitch or yaw control.
