    I hardly think memorizing every useless fact in a manual and blowing the technician is the best way to learn. In Linux I encounter problems and seek the answers then I know how to apply this knowledge in the future. This isn’t dynastic China where we must memorize the five great books (/usr/bin, fridge, stove, furnace, and the analects) in order to progress in life.





  • I’m not sure if bourbon has an exact definition of that percentage. It’s whatever comes out of the barrel. I’d have to check my bottles but it’s definitely on the 60% and up ones but I think I’ve seen it on the 50% and up ones as well.

    Yeah pretty much:

    The math I’m doing is I thought having a standard drink of 40% was close enough to 50-60% that I wouldn’t count is as more than one drink.

    But my math shows that 45ml of 40% is 18 ml of alcohol or 14g is standard in the US. Then I recently did the math that 50 and 60 respectively is 22.5 and 27. Therefore having two drinks (which is the recommended maximum) of 60% is actually three drinks by US standards.

    I guess my point is I thought I was drinking two drinks and some change, I didn’t realize an extra 10-20% was adding 25-50% more alcohol per drink. As someone who knows the dangers of drinking too much I don’t want to do that.

    Honestly I don’t get how it rises so quickly with adding 10-20%, but my field isn’t math lol
