I dont know why they have to lie about it. At $5/8ft board you'd think I paid for the full 1.5. Edit: I mixed up nominal with actual.

Shouldn't the normal size be 2? Given, well, the name?

[-] InEnduringGrowStrong@sh.itjust.works 172 points 6 months ago

You'd think so, but no.
Short story is the 'nominal' size is the size before going into a planer to smooth the faces.
Yes, it makes little sense, like many things related to construction stuff.

Yeah sorry. The tree was originally 50ft tall so we call the pieces that. But you only get 3ft

Is like buying 1200lbs steaks because that's what the cow weighs before it gets parted

[-] SchmidtGenetics@lemmy.world 78 points 6 months ago

Better example would be raw vs cooked weight of a 1/4lb paddy.

[-] AmidFuror@fedia.io 28 points 6 months ago

Exactly. Because it is easier to weigh the correct amount before cooking than find out you were wrong after.

But you should probably be feeding Patrick more.

That's a very small area to grow rice in.

[-] EinfachUnersetzlich@lemm.ee 17 points 6 months ago

Or a very offended Irish person.

A full bag of crisps, but a third is just air
