fucken weird, I was wondering where the enamel coffee pot I ordered was so I looked at my emails for the order info. Nothing. Checked amazon because that's where I ordered it. Nothing. Did I fucking dream that I ordered it? Maybe. I've ordered it now though.
my brain is a bit fuzzy from doing 3 and 4 am starts to wind up this project and also spend time with my kids on their holidays.
sort of related but when I was researching enamel coffee pots (a normal thing to do) I learned that American "coffee cup" volumes are fucking tiny. So when they say 18 cup coffee pot you'll probably get like 10 cups of actual coffee out of it.
its something like 1 US cup = 120mls but an Australian cup is 250mls.
I factored in that you add milk to your coffee, so that 250mls isn't all black coffee from the pot. Anyway, this is how I spend my down time.
btw there is a metric "coffee cup" volume I think its something like 150ml.
@Kels_316 a barbarous culture and a barbarous people
@liamvhogan too much lead in the paint, water, petrol, and well just everywhere.
@Kels_316 @liamvhogan I suspect that's where the South Australian's got their beer sizes from, too.
@MattHatton @liamvhogan they got them from satan himself
@Kels_316 @MattHatton they’re not so much measurements as metaphors. A pint isn’t an actual pint, it’s a simulacra of a glass of beer, containing not liquid but a freight of meaning. It’s a very literate society, the rest of us don’t understand
@liamvhogan @MattHatton is it SA that has a "pony" as a beer size? I refuse to learn anything about that state.
@Kels_316 @MattHatton don’t Google it either, the freaks have ruined that particular search for everyone
@Kels_316 @liamvhogan @MattHatton when I did NSW RSA training the course content explicitly mentioned it and that is the sole time I have heard of them

@rht_ebooks @Kels_316 @liamvhogan IIRC, "pony" is another name for a half-pint.

But the SA version is...not that.

@rht_ebooks @Kels_316 @MattHatton this is a case of ‘it’s in the UoC so we have to train to it’ brain so strong it nearly knocks you off your feet
@Kels_316 @liamvhogan @MattHatton
WA has a pony, half a middy/pot
@midofo @Kels_316 @liamvhogan Who the fuck gives a shit about WA?
@Kels_316 USA-Americans just don’t understand coffee
@jpm or measurements
@Kels_316 all USA-American measurements shall be referred to as bananas from now on

@jpm @Kels_316 gonna have to abbreviate that as 'bannos'.

Yeah it's about 3 bannos down the road, look for the fuckoff huge grain silo, it must be 160 bannos high and hold 45000 bannos of wheat

@jpm @Kels_316 I'd walk 500 crackers to see that
