I genuinely don't understand how the race or gender of the prosecution has any bearing here. We're not talking about a jury, we're talking about the people who are presenting state's evidence in the trial. The prosecution does not decide whether Diddy is innocent or guilty, a jury does. If a jury in the trial of a black man is composed of 12 white women, that could be a real point of issue in our justice system, but the prosecution? It makes no sense

I think they meant arthropod. Anthropod means "human leg."

I linked below a systematic review where many of the studies do find this to be the case.

Yeah the costs to transition faced by the US today and 1850s Europe are different. Also you seem to have missed the part where here in the US we already use metric for a ton of stuff, I was just talking about how our infrastructure is built around customary units for distance. Why so mad bro?
