          We’re more familiar with 5.56x45mm thanks to all our school shootings thank you very much.

            In the same way a US ton and a metric ton is like 10% different, a 556 bullet is actually 5.7 mm across.

              Because the minor diameter of the barrel is 5.56 mm and the major diameter is 5.69 mm. If the bullet were smaller than that then the propellant would blow past it. They didn’t make a 'murican millimetre like they did with the imperial system.

      Please raise this temperature by 1.4x10^-23 Joules - statements of the utterly deranged

        Joules are energy. You need thermal capacity to turn them into temperature.

        The best system would have 0 at a mild, comfortable temperature, and go up or down by 100 degrees per one degrees Fahrenheit.

          But mild and comfortable is different for different people who are acclimated to different weather.

          We need a defined ‘mild’ temperature. i vote for 70F/21C.
          It’s a bit chilly for the warm weathered folks and a bit warm for the cold weathered folks. Seems reasonable but I’m open to suggestions.
