oh they're using commas for decimals

The fun has been ruined by efficiency.

Well, 1:4 means you need 1/5 concentrate by volume...not 1/4

Ehh, if you can eyeball half-full you can eyeball one-fifth-full.

Yeah... that's 1 of x and 4 of y, for 5 total.

Or knows how odds work. Same principle.

The mistake is much easier to realise with 1:1; if you poured in a full glass of each, you'd get a big mess on the table.

I like how page 666 of FIL is about math

That would make 1:3

Blue, come on. The taste is much better with too much concentrate, anyway.

Colon nomenclature is ambiguous. Use "1+4" for 1/5 volume by volume.

Well 1 glass of each is technically still the correct ratio tho.

when a person think they can make cement mixes and wonders why it was to wet

as its 1 to 4 parts which will equal 5 parts total, as you just usa-Core mathed, you equal to 6 parts not 5..

If you wanted 2 glasses of result, yes. But not if you're trying to make 1.

And how much is 1 part of 5? That's right, 1/5. You need 1/5 of one and 4/5 of the other, for a total of 1. You set yourself up there.

Excuse me, I was told there would be no math.

Fuck you, 1,000.00 is better than 1.000,00. Commas are for continuations, periods are for stopping. So use commas to continue between number places, and periods to stop and separate the decimals from the whole numbers. Or use commas for periods and periods for commas, either one would end your hypocrisy.

this but also commas are used to separate distinct numbers in coordinate notation (e.g. (1,2) meaning {x = 1; y = 2}), so using commas as decimal separators is contradictory with mathematical notation as well as with punctuation in Latin-script languages in general.

look point being: just because metric is objectively superior to imperial in basically every way ^{(and also the US and UK (but mostly US) often have fucking stupidass policies in general compared to mainland Europe)} doesn't mean every little formatting thing Europe does is good and reasonable

Oh, this is a European thing? I just kinda figured the artist wrote this way because Blue says it aloud "O, eight," "One, seven five," "O, one seven five," etc.
Ahahaha~
