True for very small values of "approximately".
Only in Woke math is it true that 7*360 = 360, so we don't racially discriminate against the integer seven; it's just like all the other colonial integers.
Unsure who originated that 1 field more or less approximates 7 fields...how woke is it make the statement, yet only depict 6?
I might be missing the point, backwardness does that to me. Wagering a majority view things their way as well.

Mr. Carrey did this 24 June 1990; or 30 years, 11 months, 17 days ago. He derided men participating sports where they didn't belong. One narrow agenda still campaigns this is not only OK, even underwriting it.
Well, you've finally confused the living be-jesus out of me!
When things went over to metrick, they said I'd get taller, but I'm still only 5'6"
well Jon the admin posted this, I can't figure out what it is supposed to mean, maybe Jon can enlighten...
2 + 2 = 5
. . . for larger values of 2
Im knot going to try to figure out the pie required to figure kilos to miles.Ill stay with cobbler.
you must be using that measuring spoon and using a smidgen too much shortening....better to use a dash of lard.
As the old joke goes, when asked "What is that" the reply was "a piece of rope". "Well, what are those two things underneath?" "They are knots"
"Well, undo the knots and let out a bit more rope!"
But how many washing machines or football fields are those spoons?!

I've been afraid to post that...
I guess a mini gallon is a quart? I think in America people might consider "gallon" to be a shape.

The size and prominence of the font of the new measurement unit on the sign, as opposed to the product name (sweet tea?), is emblematic of another classic American measurement dynamic: different shapes, sizes, and quantities of products are often presented as more important than the product itself.
In fact, this is given as one of the reasons why we measure soda in liters. The plastic 2-liter bottle came into prominence right around the time that America was considering going metric, so PepsiCo decided to denominate it in liters. It was also marketed as shatter-proof, recyclable, and, for standing upright, the bottom of the bottle had fins! Ultimately, it wasn't the liter that interested Americans, but the 2-liter bottle.
I still think in pints, quarts and gallons, but I do not know what a mini-gallon is. A gallon is 8 pints, I am sure most know. But what shape is the American gallon? Nothing to do with hats, surely?
You asked... https://www.thevintagenews.com/2018/...f%20the%20name.
Sounds like marketing nonsense, without mentioning signs lower right corner. "Fresh Brewed Hourly" ?
I'm glad products are supplied in different containers, like paint in a milk bottle?
And it would blow out the comedienne's stand-up joke; house cleaning before a party includes wiping lipstick from milk container spout.
the mini gallon cold be akin to us back in the day having our keg parties there was the standard keg 8 gallons I believe, which was abought the right size for a Friday night after the game party. Then there was the jumbo keg 12 gallons I think. This would have been the weekend at the lake or beach party keg. And along comes the Super keg 16 gallons. wholey Smokes I can't believe I actually graduated party keg, or for a wake when a bud got married. No not a wake as in after a funeral but pretty much the same thing. However now that the games are over we no longer go to the beach, there are no more collage/ university parties. the marriage is settled down we needed our own weekend relaxation keg so along comes the 1 or 2 gallon mini keg.
With tea, I'm not a tea drinker thank you very much, the Gallon of tea would be for the whole family probably dad mom and 2 1/2 kids. Don't know where the 1/2 kid came from look it up sometime :embarrassed: the teenager wants some tea on his way home from his / her protest march they have no idea about liters or quarts but a mini gallon sounds about the right size to drink since it looks like mom and dad's gallon of tea they bring home but probably small enough for personal consumption.
Bearing in mind that your Imperial gallon is different to the US gallon.
Imperial gallon is 4.546 litres (British spelling) or 160 fluid ounces.
US gallon is 3.785 liters (American spelling) or 128 fluid ounces.
Glad I work in litres!
I note that 3.785 liters is liter than 4.546 litres.
lets play fallow the litre or was that liter..where is all this going...I just want a effing glass of water!!! AND NOT FROM A JUG.
Latey, I've been busier than a two-peckered billy goat. I'm not sure if that's metric or other...
What do you mean? An African or European billy goat?
so how is the goat measuring up? if it were a Billie goat,would you milk it into gallon /quart or liter pails?
hmm lets seee... how long is my .... metrick sure sounds like more!!!!or does it?:headscratch:
when mesuring horses they use hands... so...is that how many hands it takes to help jack off the horse? is that matric? and why can jack get off the horse by himself? do the hands aggravated ?do the ranch hands get paid extra for helping jack off the horse?what about jill jacks wife do they help get her off when jack is outa town? all theses different measuring systems seems to agravate some and please others, just like the ranch hands that have quite a job.
nowdays that I dont see so well,I would rather have all my sockets&wrenches color coded as well as the fastners. as for the gass I put in my car/motorsycle/4 wheeler/lawnmower....when it's full it's full.no need to gallons or litters. I see no reason for that any way.just either fill it up or put in the amount of$$ that you want /have to spend on it.I cant pay in gallons or liter....when I buy chicken by the piece is that metric or ????:rolleyes: do they choke their chicken before marinading it??opps I gotta go, jacks wife is yelling....sounds like she is ready to get off.it's a hard job but somebody has to do it.
[QUOTE=Jon;164306]Metric vs. other measurement systems.

Great, do you also have one for weight and volumes?:)
just waite,he should turn it up a bit:rofl::rolleyes:
[QUOTE=wimton;184125] A volume chart is going to be messy. Just the "barrel" unit alone will have a forest of intertwined lines like a French hedgerow.
There are seven different barrel sizes used in the USA, with the size being dependent on the contents. Their names and metric equivalents are as follows: US cranberry (95.5 liters), US dry (115.628 liters), US liquid (119.24 liters), US federal (117.348 liters), US federal proof spirits (151.416 liters), US drum (208.4 liters), US petroleum (135 kg.), US petroleum statistical (158.99 liters).
And then there's the matter of the floz (fluid ounce). Despite its name it's a volume measure, not a weight measure. There are a lot of fluids out there and the volume of each it takes to weigh an ounce will vary accordingly.
Just to add insult to the foregoing, many years ago I owned a boat, not much of a boat, 20ft or so long, but for Lloyds vessel insurance and registration it was measured in barrels. I suspect something to do with rum but bore NO resemblance to the number of barrels it could carry.
Addendum to my previous post. Maybe it had something to do with it's internal volume (measured in barrels).
or boyancy/displacement.....or possiably how much the captin can drink before his props are taken away....or..I havent a clue.ask loyd.
