I weighed myself when I lived less than 300 m above sea level near the East coast of the US. I later weighed myself when I moved to the Blue Ridge mountains, more than 3000 m. I weighed the same at both places. Sounds like this whole thread is BS to me.
Did you have a hot air balloon with you? The highest point in the Blue Ridge range is Mt. Mitchell at just over 2000 M. Or are you going to dispute that?
I believe jroa is an engineer and
Alright, I got my units of measurement wrong. It has been many years since I bothered to check the altitudes of these two locations, so forgive me. At 253 feet above sea level, I weighed the same as I did when I moved to 3,333 feet. So, this thread is still BS.
And didn't US engineers get their fps/SI units mixed up and "lost" a Mars orbiter,
oops!Metric mishap caused loss of NASA orbiter
(CNN) -- NASA lost a $125 million Mars orbiter because a Lockheed Martin engineering team used English units of measurement while the agency's team used the more conventional metric system for a key spacecraft operation, according to a review finding released Thursday.
The units mismatch prevented navigation information from transferring between the Mars Climate Orbiter spacecraft team in at Lockheed Martin in Denver and the flight team at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California.
