Why doesn't the chart go up to 212F? Why are they trying to suppress a huge swath of the temperature scale at which water is still a liquid?

Gorilla Salad posted:I once almost yelled at a suit at work for making a chart exactly like this for a meeting only to be told "It's only supposed to be representative." Typically when I point out that numbers are significantly wrong and might lead to incorrect assumptions, I'm corrected and told they are "directionally correct". Years out of school, slackers and dimwits are still trying to squirrel their way out of finishing their homework, and just couching their shortcomings in the smooth wrapper of business buzzwords.

Slime posted:The very bottom of the scale is negative one rapes. Are people committing anti-rapes? What even is an anti-rape? Is it being a 40 year old virgin living in a basement who's never so much as touched a woman? A negative rape is if a potential rapist even thinks of raping, they instantly get raped, duh

I find most of this awesome. But what are the plus signs? And why does it say 1 tspn is 1/3 cup? And 2 tspn is 2/3 cup? What am I missing?

Xenoborg posted:The plus means you need both combined. 1/3 a cup is 5 tablespoons and 1 teaspoon. I also don't find that chart to be bad, sure the measurement system behind it sucks, but thats not the charts fault. Wow, that's awkward as gently caress. If I didn't have a 1/3 cup measuring device in the kitchen, I sure as gently caress wouldn't measure out 5 big spoons and 1 little spoon. I'd fill up 1 cup a third of the way and call it done (unless it was a super dangerous meth recipe). For those of you who like the chart and aren't going to print it out and scotch tape it to the inside of your spice cabinet, you can buy a "removable" cabinet sticker for $50: https://shannon-lattin.squarespace.com/how-many-guide/

When I'm shopping for cars, fuel per unit distance might be helpful. When my low fuel light dings on a dark rural road and now I'm trying to find a gas station and looking at my gas gauge every few minutes, I need to know how many miles per unit fuel my car can do. When frantically googling fuel stations, I need to know my car can do 20 miles with that last gallon, not that my car requires 5 gallons to travel 100 miles. Oh, and I know all of your fancy new cars have gauges that tell you how many miles you have left, but none of my cars do any math for me.

Outrail posted:They could easily have cut down on the number of symbols per letter by using something other than dots and dashes. Even just incorporating a vertical line would half the length of the signals. Are you talking about morse code? The code transmitted via telegraph? How is a vertical line differentiated from a dot on a telegraph? Or is that
