Yes absolutely

He should have pirated it.

Yeah, that's where the map budget went

Animating that could cost more than 40 dolars, depending on where you live.

Has it to be ISO standard milk then? Is standard tea vegan?

Im going to drink it

List No

IIRC from another video on the subject, the “unless you don’t” is more like “unless you either (a) do not use milk at all or (b) when in the milk is added as an actual variable in the experiment, in which case it should be clearly noted that you are deviating from the standard in the test procedure so everyone else knows you did” in the actual document

Yes! I call total b.s. on the channel name "Half as Interesting". Wendover manages to make these episodes just as interesting as his official WP content just by inserting bits of humor and unseriousness in these. :D

His videos here as about half as long as his WP videos, hence the name. They're still interesting, but just half as long. It's all puns. I love it.

Siberian ?

@@jordynm5686 siberian bun.

I feel the same way about your mother.

The reason I preferred this channel to others was that it was not trying to be funny forcefully, it presented things in an informative and descriptive way. Non-sarcastic, non-humorous, neutral. This video was not that...

I guess you must have a lot of friends.

I agree. This channel suits that approach much more than Wendover, it's nice that there are two outlets for him to make more serious long form content and shorter, less serious, but interesting and entertaining videos. I think he's come a really long way since the beginning of Wendover Productions, he's much more natural with narrating, and his jokes are genuinely funny naturally.

The humor makes the video much more approachable, laid-back and much easier to take in I really like it. Listing facts after facts after facts gets boring real quick.

Spektrik, I am not arguing, to each their own. I just stated that I like it better with just the facts.

Reinis Martinsons then that's not tea, that's a herbal drink or something like that

Reinis Martinsons I suggest you to look up ISO 1337

The Mexicans have a similar method for smoking marijuana.

Sounds amazing but tasteless

In America, we have something similar. It's not something most people actually seek out, more of a survival tactic if you ever find yourself lost in the wilderness. Basically it's just pine needles and hot water. It's full of vitamins A and C, and supposedly helps with colds and the flu too.

yeah who the hell does that?

indeed. I just puke my guts out just thinking about it, and that's because drinking tea is an old tradition here in Romania and no one until the new (de)generations of abnormal young kids who mix all kinds of crappy and weird tastes and ingredients because they are too shallow on the inside to taste anything anymore.... but I digress... as I was saying, here in Romania drinking tea is an old tradition that has ingrained into our psyche so well that whenever we see, hear or think about the word "tea" we can already feel its taste in our mouths. And when you throw the word "milk" in anything related to tea that also forms a taste in our brains that automatically rejects the mix simply because our brains are used to the original taste of tea and corrupting this taste with milk... well, it's just bleah, so to speak. Whoever drinks tea with milk, or eats pizza with pineapple, or other abominations like these might as well hang themselves (and also do it quietly, too, because I'm not in mood to hear their cries of help)

@@blabla-rg7ky aight im off to hang myself then. Pineapple on pizza is good, sue me.

@@blabla-rg7ky so if u can already taste tea by talking about it does that mean u only have one type of tea? Only one species of tea leaves and only one method of preparation?

@@tinahu7462 tea has a different taste to milk. No matter how many, or few types of tea you drink you would know if you drink tea or milk even if you were blindfolded. THAT's what I'm talking about, not how many types of tea I drink or recognize. Taste of tea ≠ taste of milk

Oh that was my animator talking. He insulted me in video two so he hasn't earned anything

Does your "animator" have a name or is he a dwarf locked up in a basement with a computer?

Russian people actually love tea and drink quite a lot of it

YASSSS KILLL DA FINS! WE GETTING REVENGE FROM 1939! YOU FINS WON'T LIVE WITHOUT MILK!!!!

Milk in tea should be illegal. Come on, it's even worse than milk in coke!

@@KasabianFan44 Its a different type of tea you dolt. You'd put milk in builders tea but not an aromatic tea

Aidan Jones Wrong you dolt (whatever that means). Builder’s tea should be drunk without milk, while aromatic tea should be drunk... also without milk!

That's compleatlywrong I can see no reason to drink builders tea without milk

Nah they want IS0 standard tea.

yeah but the war was more about the money involved in shipping tea.

The ISO standard is correct, mathematically speaking. Having the milk in the cup and then pouring the tea leaves a liquid that is actually at a highter temperature for longer than it would be had you poured the tea first and then the milk.

To be fair us Americans will go to war over anything. I live not far from where the War of the Pig (not the bay of pigs invasion) happened, because we were willing to invade Canada... over a single pig.

babelfishdude it was about taxes

I know, it's so obvious first thing you do is dump it into the bay, then you... wait I don't think we are talking about the same thing here.

Someone without taste. You know, English people...

It keeps the cereal crunchy for longer because the top stay dry.

Put the cereal first, then milk, then cereal again. That way you would have a crunchy top without being a weirdo.

no you put the cereal before the bowl

Ned Gold, oh yes, I think they’re the number 1 most selling or something (definitely top 3)

Marco Conrad This is way more crazy than when I found out about ketchup potato chips. Do they taste anything like prawn cocktail? More importantly is it good? I should also note we don't have paprika chips in America either.

Ned Gold, I’ll be honest, I’m pretty boring when it comes to Crisps so I wouldn’t know, but hopefully another Brit reads this and can answer

It’s actually at 1:11.

I wonder what other possible instructions I could buy 🤔

Plugs came before ISO, and I believe there is ISO standards for them. However, not every country has to follow ISO standards even if they're members.

probably because there isnt an agreed ISO for electrical grind voltage and currant. So helps stop people plugging normal stuff into the American grid and breaking it and visa versa when those slow silly yanks go on "vacation" abroad.

In some countries, they don't even have a unified electrical grid, like Japan, and trying to switch over is too expensive.

I think the ISO standard for home voltage and current is what's used here in Australia and New Zealand. It's 240 volts and 10 amperes. Heating, cooling, and charging is fairly time efficient. As for the plug, I have no idea what would be the best.

Jille van der Bom www.iso.org/popular-standards.html

Because pots aren't used anymore, you pour straight from the kettle into a cup, then give each person a cup of tea. The only place where you get a pot is cafe's and other restaurant places, my family still puts the tea in first though.

Rubes Aaron agreed. Surprised you're the only other person to mention this.

dame alpha that's not true. Pots are great for making lots of people tea and make a good cuppa. They aren't commonly used but they definitely still are.

yea iso 3103 is a two pot guide, @3m16s it says "Prepare the liquor as described in 7.2.1 " but does not show it, "7.2.1 Preparation without milk Fill the pot containing the tea with freshly boiling water1) to within 4 to 6 mm of the brim (i.e. corresponding approximately to 285 ml in the case of the large pot and 140 ml in the case of the small pot described in the Annex) and put on the lid. Allow the tea to brew for 6 min, and then, holding the lid in place so that the infused leaf is held back, pour the liquid through the serrations into the bowl (5.2) corresponding to the pot selected. Remove and invert the lid, transfer the infused leaf to it and place the inverted lid on the empty pot to allow the infused leaf to be inspected. In the case of fine, powdery dust grades, special care should be taken and a sieve may be required."

No actually. Adding milk first allows the temperature of the tea to stay hot for a longer time.

@@99Kuromaru neeeeeeeerd

Blame Switzerland. That's what the standard says. (Actually the international standard originated from a British Standard so blame us.)

Apparently it's derived from the greek word "isos" which means "equal."

Yes, as a compromise for the various acronyms it would have in various languages (IOS, OIN, etc.). They could, however, fix this discrepancy for English by changing it to "International Standardization Organization," but it's a bit late for that :P

Except for the fact that ISO's been around 40 years earlier than Apple :P

French People

Durpa isBest ίσως...

But this weird ISO also has a standardised amount of milk you should use as well. If you brew and use the large bowl specified in the ISO you have to use 5 ml of milk. And if you use the small bowl it has to be 2.5 ml of milk. It does give you the option to have milk or not. But if you use milk, then those precise measurements of milk are it.
