Woolie Wool posted:Look up tons burthen (a unit of volume) for some true insanity, and once you got those "tons" or whatever off the ship you would probably have to measure them all over again This is a measurement of the ship itself, not the cargo. It’s one of several tonnage estimates that eventually turn into Gross Register Tonnage and Net Register Tonnage and then eventually into Gross and Net tonnage. It was for taxing the ships not for measuring the cargo volume.

I tried to google how long it takes for a hard boiled egg to go bad and the first page results looked completely useless. I clicked on the most promising one and it was 4 paragraphs of insane "From ancient Romans to Norman Kings, people have been enjoying a good egg for thousands of years" filler and then all the way down a video with the actual information I was supposed to watch. Instead I just cracked it open, took some good sniffs and hoped for the best.

Even when my mom was in school they taught the metric system and told her that she had to learn it because the US would be switched over any day now, fuckin' lol. I think everyone that is under the age of 60 and not a total weirdo uses both depending on what they are doing. I've never left the US in my life and I still use metric baking recipes.

DeMod with GPT will spout whatever racist poo poo and made up racist stats you want it to. But it depends on the service too. That Character beta AI thing moderates outputs because it will cut off and blank a response out as it's trickling it out to you.

Fahrenheit annoys me way more than inches and feet does which I've actually spent some time trying to learn since doing hobby machining and working on old machines gets you into contact with inch and whitworth stuff.

big mean giraffe posted:Not all liquids though? For simplicity's sake we should introduce specific metric units for various liquids and a table of conversion ratios. So for example a liter of oil has the same volume as a liter of water, but it weighs a kilogram of oil, which is less than a kilogram of water, and you can easily convert between the different kilograms by multiplying them by the proper coefficient of conversion. I think this is what the revolutionaries had in mind when they started their work on a rational system of weights and measures.

Me. My brain is the lovely thing. When I’m outside of the US, I feel more comfortable estimating with metric and using it overall. It took a bit, but it’s totally normal now. Inside the US? Metric might as well be Esperanto. Immediate back to customary as if I never left. I think it’s because I relearned metric when moving here because I had to apply it to every day life. I can tell you how many km approx between my apartment to the grocery store, I can’t it in miles. I can tell you how many miles from my mom’s to Target but in km? Idk like ten thousand?? This isn’t bad except when it comes to recipes, and even worse when it comes to baking because god loving forbid we weigh poo poo (and both units of measurement are guilty as hell of this). As I’ve said many times in my life, sometimes unrelated to baking, grams please.

Any time i work on a recipe, i convert everything to grams. Surprise banana bread muffin recipe time! This recipe makes 48 muffins, divide it down to whatever amount you need. 874g mashed banana 602g granulated sugar 271g unsalted butter softened 268g beaten egg (white+yolk) 844g flour 18.63g baking soda (yes, i really do use a drug scale for cooking sub-gram precision for spices/etc) Preheat the oven to 325f (162c) no fan. Use an oven thermometer to make sure the preheat is actually correct Cream the butter and sugar together, when smooth add in the following order: egg, baking soda, banana, flour. Fill cupcakes around 2/3 full, cook for 34 minutes total. Rotate the pans halfway through cooking This may seem like a joke post, but no, the amounts are from a lot of experimentation and testing. Correct, there's no vanilla or even salt. Cook time/temp is accurate for an elevation of about 2000ft above sea level Sentient Data fucked around with this message at 08:13 on Apr 4, 2024 |

I have exclusively used metric at work for 10+ years so I generally just use it in my daily life without much fanfare, conversion is easy enough when both are second-nature. I also have a half-American half-Japanese truck that I work on, though, that's always fun.

I can’t convert the two offhand, but my partner can, as he’s a welder. It’s weird asking him “is this an inch?” when I know what an inch looks like but not here, it’s like my brain is loving region locked.

AWG is the one that loving enrages me. Metric: 1mm2 cable - that's its cross sectional area. 2.5mm2 cable. It's 2.5x the cross sectional area of the previous one. Nice and easy to compare. AWG: This is a 4- gauge. That means 4 of them fit in the measurement hole. How big is the measurement hole? gently caress you.
