Yahoo Answers is shutting down on May 4th, 2021 (Eastern Time) and the Yahoo Answers website is now in read-only mode. There will be no changes to other Yahoo properties or services, or your Yahoo account. You can find more information about the Yahoo Answers shutdown and how to download your data on this help page.

Are you ready for the changes to the units for time, distance, mass, etc. in May 2019?

Update:

Does anybody out there determine masses to 8 decimal places? (Besides the national-level metrology labs)?

    I there was a change it wouldn't bother me, if that's what you're asking. I don't know what you mean by time, though. A second is the same in any unit system.

    Especially time; It's been an eternity, and changing to 24-hour mode makes sense.
