@Suiseiseki @splitshockvirus why are you posting proprietary fr*nch units that can't be recompiled from source?

SI: the metre has been defined as the length of the path travelled by light in vacuum during a time interval of 1/299792458 of a second, where the second is defined by a hyperfine transition frequency of caesium.
US: here is a stick of x length, sticks equal to this length are therefore also x length. -

However this is only a change on paper. The foot did not change in length until SI fucked with the definition of the meter a few years ago.
