Michael Gurski on Nostr: Thinking about it in Freedom Units, I'm not entirely sure why wire gauge is larger ...
Thinking about it in Freedom Units, I'm not entirely sure why wire gauge is larger the smaller the number is, but bullet caliber is larger the number is. I guess that's the price of Freedom... /s
(OK, I do actually understand calibers, but the wire thing probably has something to do with like oxen drawing per feet or some weird measurement, just like rail gauge & train tunnel widths being the measure of horses' asses side by side)
