Getting the exact amount shown on the label, or slightly over, is a
legal issue in the USA.

If you buy a hundred bags of potato chips and weigh them on a precise
scale, which we did, none are below weight. And none are over by more
than about half a chip. Most are over by less than half the average
chip.

You should see ours.

The road I\'m on is about 4 metres wide - a little over 13ft - at minimum.

We have grain lorries going along it at this time of year. They\'re 38
tones, and about 3m wide.

At the end of the road there\'s a cross roads. It\'s quite hard for the
lorries - sorry, that\'s English for what is a truck, specifically a
semi-trailer in the USA - and they\'ve chewed up the road. A lot. A third
of the width is now effectively gravel. With a few foot sized chunks in it.

The roads people say \"Urgent repair is scheduled\". They haven\'t said when...

Draught pub beer is indeed dispensed in imperial pints and half-pints.
However, almost all bottled beer is in half-litres (500ml) or a third of
a litre (330ml). It\'s a rare (and joyous) occasion when you find a real
imperial pint (568ml). On an exceptionally rare occasion you might find
a larger bottle - presumably 650ml, which I see is called a \'Bomber\'.


Call me cynical but one of the early adopters of the metric system was the
liquor trade. A common bottle size was a \'fifth\', one fifth of a US
gallon, which is 25.6 US ounces or 757 ml. The bottle quickly became 750
ml.

Trivial, unless you\'re bottling booze and those extra 7 mls add up to a
\'free\' bottle for every 107.

I don\'t drink beer but afaik a bottle of beer is still 12 US ounces or 355
ml. It\'s haphazard. I\'m looking at a bottle of flavored water that is 17
oz or 503 ml both of which are odd numbers.

In the UK, a measure of spirit went from 1/6 gill (23.7 ml) to 25 ml.
Still only enough to wet the inside of the glass.

I think it was 1/4 gill before WW1. Is this progress?

\'Fixing\' roads around here is a mixed blessing. They\'re big on chip seal.
A few years back they widened and asphalted the road I live on. Either
there is some sort of invisible jurisdictional boundary or they ran out of
material and stopped a 1/4 short of where I live, leaving the 30 year old
potholes. I have seen the county patch the potholes, generally when its
well below freezing and the hot patch has zero chance of sticking.

Our politicians of both parties are very good at sucking the juice out of
Federal funding. I\'ve bitched about the two new rotaries I have to
navigate to get to town; I think they\'re part of the fruit.
