Specifically when measuring the diameter of a tree trunk. It means the result is a straight decimal, ie. 3.4&#39; or 3.9&#39; instead of 3&#39;-4 4/5&#34; or 3&#39;-10 13/16&#34;.<br/><br/>I mean, yeah, metric would be easier all around, but at least this method does make tabulating and synthesising results in spreadsheets easier for Americans when it&#39;s in tenths of a foot vs twelfths. 2026-04-21T00:57:25Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs96ew6r49xazjtqchsx2d9wmsr5uy63pxx9zyt5n003y2q2zmtfmszyrd2v32mudmwjs9juwjp2vpqzq3qd3jyd0px70srw0qt885hz7dujtndcvw In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsw429euh65rxku9lefeehntcw27k5zzg2dsd90d5vx7dwmm7dgntsglqj88'>nevent1q…qj88</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Literally thought this was a watercolour painting! 2025-09-20T01:10:22Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsg290p5dmqhgkv47m8ut9sk09rkcydyvfpmpnlkywmk2vazrdt7kszyrd2v32mudmwjs9juwjp2vpqzq3qd3jyd0px70srw0qt885hz7dujwf4qtj Happy #Swamptember!
