Seriously what the gently caress is this poo poo "When used to denote a volume, 1 bbl is exactly equivalent to 42-U.S. gallons and is easily converted to any other unit of volume. A volume of 1 bbl is exactly equivalent to a volume of 158.987294928 liters." Bing bong so simple why can't you do it in your head you loving idiot lightpole fucked around with this message at 14:58 on Jul 16, 2022 |

When you’re dealing with oil cargo the commercial boys love barrels because their sales contracts are in barrels. For reasons. Meanwhile when you have an MBA running a shipping company you get reports about vessel fuel consumption in litres.

This is because early oil drillers used standard barrels (like literally the kind used for whiskey or shooting fish in) for transportation and it stuck around.

It's whiskey in the imperial system and whisky in metric, so in America we call it "bourbon" or "corn liquor" or "fuel ethanol" so this metaphor makes perfect sense and I can understand the confusion E: shut up in advance there, Scotland

Jimmy Smuts posted:The imperial system is so loving stupid, so of course, it's what we (USA) use The US doesn’t use imperial. Anyway, English/US standard/Imperial are very human measures. A handful, a double handful, the amount in the cup of your palm, a fingers width, the distance between two knuckles, the size of your foot, the distance of a step, the distance of a 15 minute walk at a brisk pace and etc… They are intuitive and easily understood and extrapolated without any outside references or measures. What it’s not is precise. Murgos fucked around with this message at 19:04 on Jul 16, 2022 |

But hell if I'm busting out the scale just to make a quick batch of pancakes. Just Another Lurker posted:Cups is more of an American thing, in the UK it's pints & ounces if they still swing Imperial. Nah there are definitely recipes measured in cups in both the UK and the Commonwealth (Australia, South Africa, etc). But the cups are 250ml instead of the 240ml (237ml?) American ones.

Strange... i seem to have totally sidestepped "cups" as a unit of measurement throughout my life.  I grew up using ounces, pounds and stones, never once use cups as a unit of measurement and then when i started in catering it was the same plus grams & kilos for some spicy confusion. Only noticed them being used in the last decade really.

I think because a metric pint is bigger than an american pint by 0.9l? And why is a british pint 20oz instead of 16? loving island full of contrarians. I only picked up using grams because of weed.

Lead out in cuffs posted:For cakes and things, sure. But hell if I'm busting out the scale just to make a quick batch of pancakes. I think one of the common elements of a European kitchen is that a scale and a graduated cylinder are generally already at hand. Or alternatively you can just estimate by eye. The idea is basically that if something is worth measuring, it's worth measuring correctly.

Oil? If you've been baking or cooking a while you develop a good sense of measurement. Cooking is an art though, baking is a science.

I want everyone to use food scales if only so I never have to talk to another person who swears that they eat enough protein until I see that what they're calling a 60g protein meal is literally 10g of protein.
