minus-squareWelder@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up71·2 years agoI find everyone uses time for long distances. I know it’s a 13 hour drive to Edmonton but damned if I know how many kilometres it is.
minus-squareLeviathan@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up14·edit-22 years agoI always convert using 100km/h. So a 13 hour drive is probably North of 1250km. That being said I only measure distance in time as well.
minus-squareRentlar@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up8·edit-22 years ago100km/h is a good estimator, because you’re probably going 120km/h most of the way but you need to account for toilet breaks and lunch.
minus-squareLeviathan@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down1·2 years agoAnd city driving where you might spend 20 or thirty minutes getting to our from the actual highway.
minus-squareSomeone@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-22 years agoMy car tracks my average speed for some reason, and I believe it’s based on engine hours vs. distance. After 2½ years and ~70,000km it’s stayed pretty consistent at about 60km/h. My driving is probably 90% highway by distance, or 60% by time.
minus-squareAfrazzle@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up10·2 years agoYep, I can tell you Toronto is 17 hours away and the QC border is 7, but I have no clue how many KM those are.
minus-squareMyFeetOwnMySoul@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·2 years agoYou’re from Cape Breton. Final answer
minus-squareAfrazzle@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up9·2 years agoSorry, try again next week on Where Am I From? Right province, but I’m on the mainland.
minus-squareMyFeetOwnMySoul@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·2 years agoShit. Ok. I’ll be back next week
minus-squarearchengel@nichenerdery.duckdns.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·2 years agoDamn, I have to tune in next week to get the answer? This show is crazy.

minus-squareMyFeetOwnMySoul@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 years agoI try to be true to my word. Glad I don’t have to come back next week.
