No, 6400 is a number that no human can accurately visualize. It's not a metric thing, it's a numbers thing. https://gizmodo.com/how-to-comprehend-incomprehensibly-large-numbers-1531604757

But that's the beauty of the metric system. You don't visualise 6400 of anything. You visualise 6.4 cubes that are 10m on a side all stacked on top of each other. Works nicely when you have a system that uses base 10...
(heading off to a concert with 5000 others. Prety sure I can visualise how many people that is. It's about the number of people who would stand in 10 square chains or 1 acre... or 6 acre feet of people
Grew up with units such as lbs and psi; for which I developed a feel, but never developed a feel for newtons and pascals, even when required to report numbers in both type units. Things like meters, kg, and liters, a quick mental coversion with some eventual feel developed. For stresses and strains, I ended up working in lbs and psi and converting to metric (reporting both) when required for a written report. So I guess I've been lazy or perhaps working hard avoiding comfort with a full mental conversion.

april 2019 national park village Mt Ruapehu NZ, a delightfully playful tornado came dancing n down the road (Buddo street) and cut the corner into turner parade, result was our ski house (3 beds etc) was picked up, flicked over and sent flying 3 sections up the road, bloody hard to get stuff out of the remains as the floor covered everything, oh and along the way it also picked up the woodshed (complete with 5 metres of gum in it) and sent that sailing next door as well............ so yep we get em down here as well
err units of freedom cherished and never discarded since separation from mother england
They spin the wrong way don't they
Which reminds me, we need to get the length of King Charles' foot so we can all see how long our boats are now.
What does fabrication of a rudder pin have to do with the mission statement of Sea Chest Foundation? Is this accomplishment supposed to be interpreted as a success after 15 years?
How many minutes are in your hour, and how many hours in your day? How many degrees are on your compass, and do you reckon boat & wind speeds in knots or km/h? Let's install a metric machine screw: we'll use a M3.5x0.6 fastener and drill a #32 tap hole, b/c that's fucking decimal.
