In metric, one milliliter of water occupies one cubic centimeter, weighs one gram, and requires one calorie of energy to heat up by one degree centigrade—which is 1 percent of the difference between its freezing point and its boiling point. An amount of hydrogen weighing the same amount has exactly one mole of atoms in it. Whereas in the American system, the answer to ‘How much energy does it take to boil a room-temperature gallon of water?’ is ‘Go fuck yourself,’ because you can’t directly relate any of those quantities.

it takes dedication to print full color these days. on 11x17 no less
To Europeans who use German industry norm paper: that’s DIN
A2A3 (Tank you, dumb cousin of napoleon)Being corrected on a German industry norm, how does that feel? A little ironic, maybe?
Oh schnapps!
A3. Not A2.

Looks like she’s holding A3, not unless she’s absolutely tiny.
I realized instantly after commenting. the regret I felt was impeccable. But I was still too lazy to delete.
Some people will use some letter salad just to avoid the imperial system /s

Don’t imperial have like 3 different letter sizes depending on the country?
From what I have found, the US has 216mm × 279mm while Canada has 215mm × 280mm which is close enough.
The what?
