Sentient Data posted:recipes are all spelled out in exactly what's needed Unless you're following a recipe from another country. If a recipe tells you to use "a cup" of whatever, it might mean 200ml, 227ml, 237ml, 240ml, 250ml, or 284ml. Generally not an issue if you're using a recipe from a book published in your country, but if you got it from the internet then it could be from anywhere, even if the site you found it on is from your country. It might just have been copied verbatim from some other site.

The proportions are correct which is the important thing. I worked in bakeries from 16 to 19. You're using your own set of cups, tbs, tsp, etc then even if you wind up with more or less is still going to be the same.

It's possible for a recipe to use more than one measure, though. A single recipe might call for a cup of sugar, a pound of cherries, and a 12-inch pie crust, and those aren't going to be in the right proportions if your cup suddenly doubles in size.

Most metric/SI countries will have a few weird exceptions. Canada still uses calories instead of kilojoules and Australia still uses imperial measurements for fast food, marijuana and the weight of newborn babies. I find it kind of interesting that American English has its own spelling for metre/meter, and litre/liter given that America doesn't actually use the metric system. e: before this starts a boring-rear end derail, calories are technically from an archaic form of the metric system Vladimir Poutine has a new favorite as of 11:11 on Jan 4, 2016 |

In the Netherlands, in old-timey grocery stores, you can buy stuff in pounds and ounces. Of course, a pound is exactly 500 grams and an ounce is exactly 100 grams.

Yeah we use pounds/ounces for babies and I can see drugs being weighed in imperial (although none of the drug dealers I knew did) but fast food? I can only think of the Quarter Pounder burger from McDonalds, and that's the name of the burger, not it's actual weight or an actual measurement. Liquids are are in mLs and food is by grams/kilograms or just "bucket" if you have a poo poo-tonne of KFC chicken.

Yeah my German grandma also sometimes talks in pounds and stuff but in that case too they just correspond to a round number of grams. Probably also 500 g for a "Pfund".

Vladimir Poutine posted:I find it kind of interesting that American English has its own spelling for metre/meter, and litre/liter given that America doesn't actually use the metric system. Briefly: this is because "meter" was a pre-existing word in English, and when the French introduced the metric system, the English chose to use the French words (metre, litre) while the Americans chose to standardize "liter" on the existing "meter", probably under Noah Webster's influence. Forgall posted:Wait, so in 2007, a full quarter of American children didn't even get high school level education? That does feel a little high, but keep in mind that high school has two endpoints: 1) get your diploma, or 2) reach the age where you can drop out. A lot of kids drop out so they can get a job during the day to help out their families, to join the military (I actually don't know if you can get into the military without a diploma, but it's a pretty common idea in fiction, at least), etc. Also, that number includes non-traditionally-schooled children (like homeschoolers) who got the education but don't technically qualify for a diploma.

On the Quarter Pounder, the various patty sizes are called something like 3:1 and 4:1 etc., which could be ratios of a pound? This has to be fake. Come on. Please.

Not really bad, just kind of out of context. MST = Minimal Spanning Tree, Out degree is how many edges point out of a node, which is important in these kind of things, and I guess then having nodes both be bigger AND redder when the outdegree is higher is helpful. But what is the graph for? Why is the legend in english and the nodes labelled with foreign characters?

I'm thinking you're probably right since some of them are bits that are only used as parts of characters and I can't really think of another context where that makes sense in that style of graph, but I'm definitely leaning towards Chinese because it's only hanzi/kanji and no katakana or anything.
