Solice Kirsk posted:Yes. But it won't matter since you'd be using that same "cup" for the other ingredients as well. The proportions are correct which is the important thing. I worked in bakeries from 16 to 19. You're using your own set of cups, tbs, tsp, etc then even if you wind up with more or less is still going to be the same. Then you hit the part of the recipe where it starts asking for tablespoons and you're hosed.

Carbon dioxide posted:How does this poo poo work? Do you have to be a member of the democratic party to vote in the democrats prelims? What if you're not a member of either party? Do you not get the right to vote? What if you're a member of both parties? Or is that illegal? It varies by state. The poo poo going on now is all specific to Iowa's caucus. Some states don't have a caucus at all, instead opting for a primary. For comparison, Virginia has no party registration, and anyone can vote in either party's primary.

foobardog posted:Unicode has been really good! The only people kind of screwed by it in a major way are Chinese based languages, where they were all forced into one region despite having incredibly different glyphs. I thought the codepoints are the same, but they render into the appropriate glyph depending on phone locale. Which only screws bilingual people. And is insane.

Count Roland posted:People love to hate on xkcd on these boards, and for once I'll agree. They've been extremely weak lately. I enjoyed this chart. I also love the one that visualizes different amounts of money--like rappers' net worth, nations' GDP, etc--as big boxes. Not gonna post it because this thread is for bad/funny, not just miscellaneous interesting. Maybe someone should make a thread like that, preferably one less insufferable than the D&D picture thread. Anyway, xkcd isn't high art, and I think Munroe knows it. I've never really encountered anybody who puts him on a pedestal or anything, but I see lots on this site who hate him. It's like how much easier it is to find people making fun of tumbler than the batshit transethnic otherkin nonsense they make fun of.

Outrail posted:Positioning aside why whales? Ask anyone how long a blue whale is and they'll answer "uh, pretty long? I guess". Which completely misses the point of a size analogy. Blue whales are widely known as not just big, but the biggest (known) animal to have ever lived. It's actually not the longest (some sauropods are longer if you count the tail) but that's still enough for folks to go "wow holy poo poo" even if it doesn't give them an exact idea of the size. US supercarriers get used the same way. Incidentally, the Nimitz class carrier is 1,092 feet (332.8 m) long. That's longer than whatever the hell is being represented in that graphic. And we have 10 of them. By the by, here's a life-size blue whale for you to scroll around on.

Outrail posted:That's kind of my point. Noone (virtually) knows how big a whale is, just that it's big. Probably "as big as a school bus?" is as accurate as anyone is going to get. So why not just use school buses, every dipshit in North America has a good idea how big a bus is. I guess I wasn't clear. The point isn't to convey exactly how big it is; the point is to give something that sounds impressive so that people can go "wow." A really big thing that is also the biggest of its type is better for this purpose than an ordinary thing people can relate to because, again, the point isn't being repeatable. If this still doesn't make sense you're just going to have to accept that you're not the target audience for random factoid wow soundbytes. This isn't a put-down or anything.

Pokemon's type system has gotten inscrutable. Edit: really though, that's actually a really handy chart for anyone who wants to carry concealed while traveling. Go down the left to find the state where you got your permit, then slide right to the column for the state you're headed to or passing through. Green means good to go, yellow means look up the particular state's law, red means where the hell did you get that banana. Blue Footed Booby has a new favorite as of 19:43 on Dec 15, 2016 |

zedprime posted:Management systems are cargo culting something that worked once somewhere else and the slavish adherence to jargon is typical of that. But if you're lucky, focus is put on the bits about applying the scientific method to work practices and project management. So to that point, a scrum attitude or whatever the gently caress they are calling it these days is going to be one of the more useful takeaways from your million dollar consulting bill. Bolded the root of the problem. Agile can actually work really well when implemented reasonably, but a lot of folks earn a living selling a version that's designed to appeal to middle managers rather than to actually work. The cargo culting is deliberately induced by the ones getting the fat check. Capitalism ruins everything, including capitalism.

Outrail posted:Why the hell would you think average home price going up is a good thing? Aside from loving over young and poor people. Because people buy homes (rather than rent) as an investment. Prices going up means they have equity, and won't be underwater if they have to sell. Literally nobody ever has bought a house, seen the price go down, then cheered because now young people can buy starter homes.

Oxyclean posted:Calling the third installment of something "one" is incredibly dumb regardless of what they didn't call it. I've suspected all along that the thinking went something like this: "We made the Xbox 360 and people called it the 360. If we name our next console Xbox One they'll call it The One." Shortly thereafter it became permanently dubbed Xbone and the marketing weenies hopefully cried under their desks.

It didn't matter that the thing was completely insane idea a couple of really important people decided it was a good idea so the idea got worked on. Didn't matter that a 1,000 ton tank was one of the worst ideas possible for at least a dozen reasons. That's certainly the case for the Maus, but I've seen claims the Ratte was a counter intel op with just enough design work to get spies to waste their time on it.
