As I understand it (as a person who never used it), florins and crowns were very rarely used. You had pounds, shillings and pence. 12 pence in a shilling, 20 shillings in a pound, i.e. 240 pence in one pound. Same subdivision as is done in time.

Florins and crowns were the names of the coins, you wouldn't usually use them to say how much something cost.

Speaking as someone who was given a sixpence as a kid and was extremely cross when the man in the shop told me it was only worth 2 1/2 pence. It said sixpence right there on it!

Base 12 would have been much better for society to use than base 10, it's pretty neat that people were used to working with both bases in their heads back when those coins had real value

The crazy thing is that the US did officially make that change in 1975, but everyone apart from NIST just shrugged and kept going as if it never happened.

Bloomberg is reporting Drew Baglino, Senior VP of Powertrain and Energy, and Rohan Patel, VP of Public Policy have resigned

edit: Drew confirmed



Also people caught wind too because they no longer have verification and Tesla badges on their accounts which is just either extremely hilarious or grim I don't know which

It was probably looking like they care about protecting the environment, but the CEO kinda trashes that narrative.
