Hope that they went as well as mine. It was a different <strong>Christmas<\/strong> for me, as you can imagine. if I had to chose one thing different from Italian Christmas and one thing equal to it these would be respectively: food and presents.<\/p>\n<p>I definitively eat a lot less food and I didn&#8217;t do any dinner <strong>marathon<\/strong> -as we proudly do :)-But I did receive presents!<\/p>\n<p>One of this was a digital tape that my super sweet director give me. this tape is excellent considering all the features and tools but what makes it wonderful to me is the in\/cm button conversion. Whether you are a foreign in the <strong>United States<\/strong> like me on #architect-us J1 amazing program or just on your own discovering this fabulous country, you know of what I am talking about and you can feel me. I love you <strong>American<\/strong> but let tell me the true, that system simply does not work, it is the king of the inaccuracy. numbers and numbers plus insane fractions&#8230; please raise the white flag!<\/p>\n<p>Deep inside you are aware of this issue in fact when everything goes wrong and the number are crazy, your autocad turns on: unit format DECIMAL.<\/p>\n<p>Joking aside, after 4 months here my best suggestion for you is the following: let&#8217;s stop trying converting inches in centimeters and centimeters in inches&#8230;this takes you nowhere. let&#8217;s act like a child that is about to learn size and measures of thing and learn sizing your &#8220;new&#8221; world in inches and feet. Your mind needs to act like a switch: metric mode\/ imperial mode. When you are on one whatever mode you must forget about the other! Only in this way you can survive&#8230; believe me.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s all for now, hope you enjoy this gem I gave you.<\/p>\n<div class='_form_264'><\/div><script type='text\/javascript' src='https:\/\/architect-us.activehosted.com\/f\/embed.php?static=0&id=264&6A300A30C36BE&nostyles=0&preview=0'><\/script>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Good day to everyone and happy new year!
