I'm alive. I do math for money. I like food... maybe too much.

12 has more divisors than 10, so basic arithmetic is easier in base 12. The metric system is good, but could be made even better.

Personally, I think we should all be using base 12 numbers and that the metric system is system is deeply flawed. To each their own.

Professional scientists wouldn't use it, or I couldn't imagine a paper being published like that anyway. At home though, who gives a shit.

If you knew that American scientists used the metric system, why did you bother with your comment at all?

In the US, science is done in SI units. Of course, you already knew that since you are a worldly and intelligent non-American. ;)

Alas, you cannot tell who is black or white, but there are clearly a diverse set ethnicities represented. There are even some men...strange.

I'm working on my doctorate, the school pays ME to go there. Anyway, do you not have a land line at home?

Most of my advice would probably get you in a lot of trouble, so let's stick to cell phones for now.

As a PhD student w/o a phone, you don't need it. Get through school first, worry about app's and dick pic's later.

Mexico also has a federal government, so it follows Mexico is subdivided in to states as well. Baja California, por ejemplo.

The US has a federal government, thus its constituent units (e.g., California) are rightly called states.

Indeed, but according to Merriam-Webster "state" is also defined as, "one of the constituent units of a nation having a federal government".
