This might sound crazy but if you’re being forced to use scrum, you could try daily sprints. Obviously, you can’t do every ritual every day. But you can prioritise and commit to a plan based on what matters most each day.
In Australia, we're taught metric exclusively, and use KPH over MPH. But it is common to report your height height in feet and inches, and less commonly, bodyweight in stone.
Similar in NZ, but there are still imperial measurements in places, e.g. PSI for tyres, or inches when talking about TV dimensions, DPI for screen resolutions, a quarter acre section for a house. You might hear people talk about a "pound" of butter when it's actually 500g, or ask the mileage of a car, but expect the response in km.
Bodyweight in stone would be _very_ uncommon I think. Still occasionally hear baby weights reported in pounds, but that's usually only by the grandparents.
6 feet and over is tall, 5 feet and under is short is such a handy rule of thumb, which I think is its longevity for height - although any official form will ask for metric (centimetres usually).
The quality and quantity of blogs has increased so much that many books seem too cumbersome in comparison.
One thing I like about following good blogs is seeing ideas from authors develop week to week. I think this encourages a deeper understanding of the topic and makes some books seem immediately outdated in comparison.
I had a bad reaction to an mRNA vaccine that I’m still dealing with, and feel exactly the same as you do. This technology is too important to politicise. We need to look at it scientifically, make it better, and continue to deploy it in situations where the risk profile makes sense.
