If you are having snags with dimensionless ratios in chemistry, why not talk to any half competent cook/chef? They don't piss about like that!
The reason your quantities (LMT etc) are dimensionless is because you need to bake a decent cake or mix a cocktail and get a grip 8)
I am being flippant but I don't think that mixing kilos and meters in any unlikely ratio is likely to end well. They tend to become quite forceful if not mixed carefully.

I don't! Also, doing this would go against my belief that I already mentioned on HN several times - that the difference between process chemistry and cooking is that the former actually cares about the quality of outcome ;).
You have to pick your time(zone) when deploying them. I generally find that GMT/UTC >=+6 is when a sense of humour failure generally kicks in. At +8 it relents a bit when en_AU kicks in and is reinforced at +11 by en_NZ.
Worst downvotes I ever got, in response to a fellow from Google expressing a very uncontroversial opinion and then making it clear it was only his own opinion, I wrote: "Hi Jim, this is Chet from HR. Let's have a chat on Monday." Even my "Sorry, bad joke. I'm not 'Chet' and I don't work at 'Google HR'" response got downvotes. Many, many responses hating on Google HR in particular and HR in general.
