The team is now gearing up to test its methane munching technology beyond the laboratory and will use a 40-foot container-sized prototype at livestock barns in Denmark.

      1k lbs is a perfectly cromulent unit of enbiggenment, colloquially known as “Calebs”.

      Indeed that’s 10 hundredweight. Which maybe ironically enough is rather intuitive for me, Germany still uses pounds and hundredweight (Zentner) in informal and sectorial use, meaning 500g and 50kg.

        It’s a good replacement for the heavy-fridge unit.

      America is slowly switching to the metric system: metric pounds, metric feet, you know…

      I mean, it’s more clear than 0.5 tons, since “tons” doesn’t specify US or metric. Not that it would matter in this specific instance.

        But if it doesn’t matter, what’s the problem with tons?
