is it related to penises

Something isn't?

I never knew scrdest was Sigmund Freud. Now I do.

Now that you mentioned, it does make a lot of sense.

Regarding Metric: Fun facts from Wikipedia!

The US was one of the original 17 signatories to the Treaty of the Metre in 1875.
Utah actually had a mandate for using the metric system in public schools in its original 1895 constitution, but the section was eventually repealed.
There was a LOT of work in the 70s towards metrication, but it didn't really go anywhere. (This is probably why, if you look at food packaging, it has the weight/volume/whatever in metric as well as US units.)
In Hawaii, a 2013 bill mandated metrication in-state by 2018.
Metrication is a word meaning "the conversion to the metric system of weights and measures."

The thing is, just because a president signed a treaty one day, doesn't mean the populace is going to give a flying fuck what that guy thinks. Or his replacement, for that matter. Its entirely possible their decision is the reason they lost their job. Yeah, its a pain in the ass for foreign relations. Don't care.

And the signing of something by the President is basically him going, "Yeah guys I'll do my best to convince the Senate to agree with me on this. Wish me luck!"

apparently electricity is over three times more expensive than the fossil fuel needed to produce it now.

i could literally install a steam turbine in my cellar, run cables through a ridiculous amount of land and get electricity for cheaper than from the utility company

is this what germany meant by supporting microgeneration

My internet is being a dick today.

Or maybe I was a dick and my internet is punishing me for it. But I'm always a dick my internet should be used to it by now. Regardless my internet is disconnecting a lot today.

You're German? I always thought you were Polish...

(Also, there's maintenance costs for the power lines and the costs of building power plants and so on and so on...)

I guess I confused you with a Polish forumite...
As for the bit about you being German: Other Europeans usually don't complain about Merkel's domestic policies (or lack thereof).
