They are typically 225, 336, 460, and sometimes 570 ml
You mean “They are typically 225, 336, 460, and sometimes 570 ml.[1]^”? I agree, it is dubious - it’s like someone assumed the whole world makes coffee in 8, 12, and 16oz. Also, they’re just below the “cup holding 50−100 ml” for espresso and “cup holding approximately 160 ml” for cappuccino.
dubious – discuss ↩︎
…But that’s cup size, not coffee size. And even then, an espresso cup is something like 80ml (illy US specifies 3oz), which makes sense if a lungo is 60ml. A metric cup is legally defined as 240, not because cups made in Europe are 250ml, but because the US customary unit of “cup” translates to about 240ml of volume. Actyal, physical metric cups are generally 80-150ml. A 240ml “cup” is more of a mug than a cup, really, and even mugs are usually .3l or so.
And I don’t think I’ve ever, in my life, gotten served a half-liter of anything non-bottled, other than beer or maybe soup.
I kinda feel the picture being AI adds to the point, honestly…
??? A .5l iced coffee is not “regular”, nor is “shot” the smallest. A typical shot of espresso is 30ml (1floz), half for ristretto, double for lungo.
I think it was intended as a reverse of 4chan’s “tits or gtfo”.
On the contrary, they are breaking the rules - of modern English. And I’m disagreeing with their way of doing it.
And yes, this is “right” and “wrong” as a matter of taste more than anything, but then again so is using thorn and eth.
Frankli, þes, þes I do, becas yeþ didnt speak modern Engliș, wiç we do, & to wiç ye ruls aplþ to. Ye misionarþ is verþ wrong to lektur ye nativs on yeir langweig, but is eqali right to lektur yem on Engliș.
There is a right and a wrong way to break the rules. If you’re gonna go out of your way to use obsolete ortography, don’t half-ass it.
Sure, back yen spelinge was more viebbes baesed yan nott, but if you’re gonna bring them back, do it right.
More like, if you’re already gonna use thorn, why are you using it wrong? It should be “wið”.
IIRC it’s currently defined based on SI units.
Yup. If I’m not ballparking, all math goes through a calculator. It’s already there, and I’m already using it. “Trust, but verify”.
In fact, the lying guard is a red herring. You get one question, and need one piece of info: the door. The canonical question doesn’t tell you which guard lies, nor do you care to find out.
I still haven’t seen someone on lemmy bring up the trolley problem while understanding the trolley problem.
Kinda puts the Silksong launch into perspective…
Guess someone better go dig up Juan Guaido again…
“You see, I’m better than others, and my opinions are correct, whatever they are. I have never reflected on this.”
“You see, as you better, my opinion is above reproach by the likes of you. I am a progressive.”
Frankly, me neither - you can take that narrative up with thread OP that brought it up. I’m just making fun of a scratched liberal.
“You see, the problem with racism is the statistics are incorrect. If the science behind it is solid, bigotry is actually fine.”
…I think I understand the source of the confusion here.
You think 8-12-16oz is the standard in coffee shops worldwide, because to you, “coffee” means “latte”, and “coffee shop” means “place that sells latte in plastic to-go cups”, whereas the standard unit of coffee in Europe is a café espresso, which is a 30ml shot of pure coffee served in a 50-100ml white china demitasse.
