what are your thoughts on the new metric prefixes, ronna-, quetta-, ronto-, and quecto-, added just last year?i think they are very cool however i cannot find any use i will ever measure anything, real or virtual, with those prefixes. for distance, i think "inch" or "cm" covers like every single one of my use cases, including within 3d software / virtual stuff. beyond that i'd just measure a distance in minutes that it'd take using the transit system.
