Metric system

[Docnick]

And a grammophone, for that matter. It must be something your grandmother invented. I bought a weather station with an outside transmitter for temperature and air pressure. I like my air pressure in metric rather than inches of Mercury. A standard atmosphere is 1000 millibars, but they now call them “hectopascals”. There was probably a confusion between “millibars” and “minibars”, those expensive little bars found in hotel rooms.
