No Conservatives don't like science bro.

Generalizations and all that. 

Coming from him, I don't believe so.

I don't think you can like math and liberal political ideology without some serious cognitive dissonance, so this does not surprise me.Laihendi

Yes, exactly. Caliber is described in inches. 1.00 would be one inch. Think of that round this way, 0.50". Said round can be used in other weapons too such as a Barrett M82 otherwise known as a M107 in the military.

I'm more of a first person shooter fan than a gun fan, due mostly because I've been playing FPS games since...uh...2006 or 7ish...maybe, and I've only held onto a real gun. I've pulled the trigger of the gun before too, but there weren't any bullets in it of course. I was fascinated by the magazine release and putting the magazine in and taking it out again. However, I couldn't cock the weapon to save my life. Maybe it was stubborn. :P

Well if you think of 1.00 as the whole and count it as one hundred then 0.50 would be fifty or half or one half an inch in the case of a .50 BMG round. A .223 is just under 1/4 of an inch.

As far as significant numbers. I have a vague understanding of them, but do not get me to explain them except that zeros do not count.

I have had to understand decimals as creating numbers that have a smaller value than 1 due to being a mechanic as well as an NDT technician. Thickness readings are in thousandths of an inch just as brake rotors are too (or were since many auto parts nowadays are in metric).

There's a tutoring center, but I have my doubts. Not to mention I have four other classes plus work, so I really need leisure time when I get it. Every week, we're gonna have a lab experiment that apparently lasts for a few hours, and needs to be done outside class. Like I wanna blow another hour or two at a tutoring center for every chapter in the book just in hopes of understanding this useless crap I'll never use in my life. I did manage to survive my logic course last semester without tutoring, so hopefully I can pass this. I need to take a class with a lab component to graduate. Right now, the only thing I'm feeling right now is wishing I had some buckshot in my ass cheeks so I don't have to go there anymore. :P

TL;DR version: Math sucks.

I had to lrean how to convert inches to millimeters or more precisely, thousandths of an inch to millimeters due to my break rotor micrometer reasing in thousandths of an inch while the rotors had metric readings. To convert .223 into millimeters, divide by .03937. to get inches from MM mulitply by the same number.

You can also refer to OnlineConversion.com for all the conversions you could ever want.

I know how you feel. I really do not like math either yet I had to learn basic trigonometry when I took my ultrasonic inspection class. We refer to ultrasonic testing as shear wave due to bouncing soundwaves at angles in a material. In order to be able to acurately place a flaw in a weld, you need to do the math to get the proper distance from the transducer to locate the flaw. 

I've heard that engineers are the most G.O.P.-leaning majors, but that IT guys are overwhelmingly Democrat, which only partially jives with these figures. A majority of economists also vote Democrat despite the poll showing that liberals are less interested in economics. I dunno what this is supposed to mean, liberals are more likely to graduate from university? :p

History is too low. :(

It would be higher up there if politics didn't dictate what was taught in secondary schools. Maybe that's wishful thinking though.
