A train? I hear that in Japan everyone is just constantly sexually molested on those 24/7 and it's just the price you pay for that. No thanks. I like this idea of a car tunnel death trap though...

The freezing point is 32 degrees and the boiling point is 212 degrees. This makes total sense.

Escape From Noise

Having several units of measurement with the same name but with slightly different volumes for different products like beer, whiskey, and crude oil isn't weird and confusing at all!

Escape From Noise


Sure. But those are foreign products.

Escape From Noise

I get it I just think that barrels as an industry standard for units of measurement is really goofy and confusing. Especially when a beer, (American) whiskey, and oil barrel are all different volumes.

the alcohol products are stored in casks tho

well kegs for beer but whatever

In America, Canada, and the UK brewery size and output is measured in barrels (31 US gallons). So when I'm talking shop and asking how big someone's brewhouse (volume of single batch of beer) is I'll get it in barrels, not gallons. So a brewhouse isn't 310 gallons, it's 10 bbls, etc.

Whereas if you were producing bourbon, the volume of a barrel is 53 gallons. Crude oil is 42 US gallons or 35 imperial gallons. The volume of a wine barrel is 59 or 60 us gallons depending on region.

Altoona-style pizza originated from the Altoona Hotel in the 1960s, and grew in popularity until the hotel was destroyed by a fire in 2013.

Heather Papps posted:

"ew what is this? sugar? in MY cold tea?!?"

I'm so confused.

Escape From Noise

I'm so confused because every time I've gotten iced tea in America it's sweetened. In Japan I regularly drink cold green tea with no sweetener. My image of American tea (along with the other commonwealth barbarians) is that they sweeten their tea because they don't know where to get the quality stuff.

The story I've always heard is that it was a hospitality/wealth-display thing in the antebellum South. You'd serve sweetened, iced, tea to a guest as a flex because each element of that cost a lot of money at that time and place.

Nowadays I think people just like sugar here.

Oh yeah. Like in Europe when refined sugar was first brought there people just straight up ate sugar.

in the south, yeah, and prepackaged iced tea is usually sweetened. but if I order iced tea here in Chicago it's gonna be unsweetened
