That's a single-person serving, I assume.Took a while to figure that out when learning Bajan Mac Pie. 4 cups of grated cheese turned out to be squeeze as much as you can, equaling over a Kg.
oh you guys are weird over there - here it is a bottle of beer - 375cl.
4 liter bottles of beer? That explains a LOT!
Ahhh, but I'm over here, so I learned how to use the weird numbers. Except 'cups' - I still don't understand those
Beaten to the jug holder comments, so happy birthday instead. Enjoy your stubby.
375cl - centi-litre - ah well, that is metric, for you 126.8 oz.
I'm totally on board with killing all such units of measurement and replacing with metric. conversions between units happen frequently and having a common conversion factor is practical and the units are usually always convenient for what's being measured.
You can keep celcius out though. F is superior for air temp measurement. C requires diving into fractions which is not intuitive plus the absolute numbers you're working with are not intuitive boundary numbers. 37 is not a number one thinks of as high or significant at all. But 100F is. 75F is easy to kind of visualize as warm but not too hot because it's 75% of too hot. 24 C? what the hell is that?
That's where the line is drawn.
i dont know why the volume / weight / length units never caught on other than industries codifying what they had already invested in into laws where they could.

Well I'm just used to the 375ml bottles.
100C is were water boils, 0C where water freezes to ice - it all makes sense. 20C is good at a work place where people move around - 25C is warm, but still pleasant. i don't know what you want with your fahrenheit, that is just weird. Pretty much all of the world is using metric, just you guys are not.
This. Fahrenheit means nothing to me. It was pretty much a random scale when we didn't have anything better.
Cheers! I'm just looking at it and I think my mind has just gone pop there is so much to think about
How is that relevant for measuring air temp ...and temps in general over what is comfortable or too hot or too cold?
You dont have to convert the units of temperature between other units within the same system. so the whole convenience of "metric" is useless there. so the idea that the bottom of the scale is 0 and the top is 100 is moot if the top is something that isn't really practical for where it's being used.
in other words, it's like measuring the length (edit: width) of your monitor in meters. That's how ridiculous celcius is.
I think you're on the losing side of that argument
About a year ago, they added Railjack. Essentially, it's a crew manned ship. Pilot + gunners basically, but you can move inside and do whatever, or go outside and fly, or even board enemy ship. It's not true space sim, Ed like, but it's spaceship stuff.
They like to add big feature every year when possible. Like when they added the 3 open world (one each time).
Oh, and you have pet breeding to
The appearance of the pet is random (following some pattern), and you can breed it. My friend made a "child" from my big cat named Fluffy, so he named her "Fluffy Jr".Yeah it's VERY frontloaded, and it's difficult to get into. I suggest to focus on the storyline-progression for now. Every planetary boss have a frame to unlock (except for the one on mercury due to tutorial stuff). Good to get (not a big grind generally).Cheers!

The story is in the "codex" part of the ship, the left terminal when in the cockpit of your orbiter (the ship that serve as menu basically).
Also, the storyline followed the development. Initially a small studio with little fund. Eventually it get much better, then you reach "the second dream" and it's epic.

An argument that caused NASA some consternation...
lol, an argument about imperial vs metric!
0.56m.
I spend too much of my working life having to swap between metric and imperial (an old boss made me measure in fathoms when I worked on the boats).
Just do it in millimetres.
that all depends on who's around after the next cataclysm. Remember by the 3300's...the bits and pieces of europe joined with north america...so it's very likely F won ...and fdev is just incorrectly providing temps in our suits in celcius by mistake or biasness
As a King of the glorious Empire.
lol, an argument about imperial vs metric!
I can confirm that there is no argument regarding Imperial Vs metric.
We have vast fleets, personnel and the will to either kill or enslave all those who oppose us.
Metric is a useless form of measurement that fails to recognise the values of a quart, what what
You may now go about your lowly business serf.
Tatty bye
