Comment on NIST to redefine the kilogram based on a fundamental universal constantparent

Comments

It's ounces, grams and kilos in that business, but the ounces are an old-school unit that's dying out. You might buy an "ounce" of weed, but an ounce of cocaine is ridiculous unless you're Charlie Sheen.

An Eight-ball is an eighth of an ounce, and it's still one of the most popular ways of asking for coke. It's not really dying out as much as you say.
