> [@markn\_1](#): > > A pint’s a pound the world around. That is actually incorrect. In the US, a pint is in fact 16oz, but in UK, liquid measure is literally defined by weight: an imperial gallon is 10lbs of water at an air pressure of 30"Hg at 62ºF. Thus, an imperial pint is one and a quarter pounds. ---

Try not to pound foolish. Pound instead with diligence, alacrity and the appropriate degree of haste. ---

Ok, a pint’s a pound and a quarter, unless it goes through a faulty transporter. ---
