I don't know if this is the case in the US, but a lot of food products here in the UK have a version of the nutritional information which is "prepared as directed". Breakfast cereal is often shown as "x grams with y ml semi-skimmed milk" for example. Is your tea doing something like this and giving you values for brewing it and adding a splash of milk, perhaps?
Nonsense. We should swap it with Scotland, since both are beautiful mountainous countries with reasonably similar land areas and population, but on the whole Scots want to be in the EU and Switzerlanders don't
As the title said, I’m looking for good videos to learn astronomy, cosmology and astrophysics (really, anything related to space is fine, such as rocket science).
Dr Angela Collier, acollierastro, does really fun casual conversational videos on the topic that explain topics in a good approachable way. They're not going to be an efficient way to learn, but they've got a pleasant vibe
In Scotland, supermarkets are not allowed to sell alcohol from 10pm to 10am. Every time I worked in a supermarket, there would inevitably be a queue of old ladies at the tills at 09:57am waiting for the exact moment that they were allowed to purchase their gin or vodka
If you had an Irishman in Eritrea paying another to kick his boat out on to the water so he could go hunting with one of these guns, you'd have a man in Punt with a punt paying punts for a punt at his punt
Oh wow, thanks for the reminder about this band. I had Age of the Understatement on CD and somehow just forgot about them when I switched over to streaming many years ago
The Dutch drive to put water in its place knows no limits. It's like they heard the story of King Cnut and the tide and thought "get that weak shit out of here let me show you how it's done"
I'm now curious to know where you're from, if you're willing to share. I've always known the game as rock, paper, scissors. I'm in the UK, and it seems like the rest of the Anglosphere uses the same three options but sometimes in a different order, like scissors, paper, rock or something. What's the gesture you make for "stick"?
I like to think it's just the same logic as that old stick vs US marines post. Scissors cut the stick in half? Now you have two sticks. Stick always wins.
okay sure, but that wins you the round if you picked paper and I picked rock? That's paper beating rock. That it does this by "covering" the rock doesn't really clear anything up
According to this article the guards are 2.23m / 7'4" and 2.36m / 7'9" tall. The taller one on the right is standing a bit closer to the camera, so I'll use the other one to measure the prof. Allowing for a bit of imprecision since it's hard to tell exactly where the guard's heel and head are under his clothing, I get the prof being 80% of the guard's height. This puts him at a pretty ordinary 1.79m / 5'10"
Wow, that's far bigger than I was expecting considering how far Serbia is from the sea. I know the Danube is a big river, but still, this is over 600 km from the mouth as the crow flies
My English Breakfast tea states it contains 2g of protein.
How/Why? Is that an oblique nod to insect protein, how does tea contain protein? 🤢 + 3 CALORIES?!...
