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.
@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?
