Coffee tastes best with a dash of milk and just a little sugar. I don't care what black coffee jackoffs say, it rounds out the bitterness and properly brings out all the flavours.
US seems to pick the most idiotic ways of measuring anything:
- inches, yards, "mills"...
- gallons, fluid oz, fucking cups!
- "letter", "legal" paper sizes!
- the fucking arbitrary "numbers" of bolts and screwdriver heads (#0, #00, #000... what the fuck!)
- the audacity of calling their stupid system"standard"
- and in a miriad of other domains (feel free to denounce more madness as comments)
- fucking "K"alories which are actually 1000 calories. Or calories themselves!
Whoever defends it is either retarded or absolutely brainwashed.
All of those have historical roots. Screws use the ought gauge because they were made from wire which came in those sizes. Not because it is arbitrary, because there was no metric standard, and your screws and bits had sizes based on wire sizes.
All these measures are slowly being forced out or realigned with metric. We no longer get a pint of soda, we get some number of millimeters and a strange fraction of ozs.
Definitely one of those odd useless hills to die on.
Toilet paper should dispense overhand, duh.
Hard agree but i do make allowances for households with cats that are obsessed with the unspooling.
The United States does not use the Imperial measurement system. The Imperial Measurement systems was codified nearly half a century after the United States broke away (codified in 1824 for anyone curious). We use the United States Customary Units which while similar to imperial is in fact different in a variety of ways.
Also great litmus test; say any neutral on either imperial or us customary units. All the most annoying people will respond to hate on it even though you weren’t praising, or even wanting to debate it.
Either way it's wrong.
As a Canadian that works with sheet metal and has to put up with American units; it is so bloody annoying having to use decimal inches, fractional inches, sheet gauge (which varies in thickness depending on the type of metal, 10ga aluminium is not the same size as 10ga steel), AND millimetres for (some but not all) non-american customers, plus converting between each depending on who drew the plans and where we sourced the stock this month.
Just use mm god damnit, why do we need four+ different systems...
Look I’m not a fan of the us customary units either, but if you are gonna hate at least be correct on what you are hating about
It is bullcrap anyway. Metric is better in any possible way. Period.
It’s not as useful today as it was historically. Metric is the better one for us today since it better fits our modern needs. But before the advent of writing, or for field workers for most of history, then the customary measuring systems would be more useful
Cornbread is not supposed to be sweet.
White "chocolate" is not chocolate, it's a chocolate byproduct and has no place being called by such a lofty title.
Raisins in oatmeal cookies, never chocolate chips.
Crunchy peanut butter only.
Ohhh i'm a filthy centrist on this.
I too will sacrifice my life on this hill
Creamy forever!
I just hope everyone who did not develop a horrible peanut allergy three years ago, appreciates their peanut butter in whatever form it takes.
Post-Covid (roughly 3 years) I stoped being able to eat most fruits and struggle with almonds and walnuts. Just OAS apparently. Thank goodness I can still have peanuts without my tongue swelling or I would cry.
