Radical and BADical! posted:seriously. baking is so much easier when you weigh the ingredients. It takes the "art" out of it though. I would know, I used to be a baker (we used a weird hybrid of weight and "scoops" to bake everything because it was a hybrid of family recipes over a couple generations. It was annoying).

Volumetric measurements become problematic with coarse substances though. Like the aforementioned grated cheese. If I grate cheese with my mandolina it is finer grated than store bought, so a cup of store bought cheese will have more air in between the cheese flakes and be essentially less cheese. That's a problem with all ingredients that don't have a standardized size. And it is totally annoying when it says "1 cup of olives, chopped". Technically this means using 1 cup of olives and then chopping them as opposed to "1 cup of chopped olives" which means chopping olives and then measuring a cup. If you get it wrong, you end up with too much or too little olive. If it just says "100 grams of chopped olives" it doesn't matter whether you chop first or not because it will always be 100 grams of olives.

LOL if you have to use actual measurements in cooking instead of handfuls, pinches and so on. If you have to have everything spelled out for you to the smallest measurement you might as well just microwave a hot pocket

Baking is basically yummy chemistry.

BEEP BOOP I AM A ROBOT WHO CAN ONLY UNDERSTAND ONE STANDARDIZED UNIT OF MEASUREMENT! Just use whatever you feel like and have the basic intelligence to convert between them on the fly you huge pedantic nerdlingers. Or, I don't know, use google? It does it for you without any further steps. If you don't have access to google at all times I don't know what to tell you. In any case, just stop all of this. It's 317 stone of worthless posting.

"man, imperial measurement systems are so illogical and make no sense whatsoever" "ok, but celsius is not useful for non-technical usage" "yeah, maybe if you're too stupid to understand it " quote:So with this whole Manchester bombing thing going on, a recurring... issue? I have just resurfaced. I'm a super chill, 'couldn't hurt a fly' type of person. I hate reading stories or watching movies featuring people being abused/severely hurt, they make me sick. I blame the media quote:At college when my girlfriend and I got in a fight I used friendsy (kind of like tinder for college students. You click if you want to be friends, date or hook up with a person and they can only see if they also click on you) to hook up with a girl. She was cute, funny, great. I ended up getting back with my girlfriend and not really talking to the girl I hooked up with. She sent me a text that said just "LOL" when she saw my back with my GF like 2 nights later, but she seemed cool and like she wasn't going tell anyone which I was appreciative for. Seemed a little sad but w/e. Life sucks. This would have been in late 2014. Senior year (end of 2016) we worked on some project together in a class which seemed fine though she seemed a little sad/cold, and we graduated. She got a sweet IB (Investment Banking) job at Merill-Lynch after graduating. About 2-3 weeks ago she killed herself.

First goon, you're going through that phase most people grow out of by their mid-teens where they like things they aren't supposed to to rebel against societal norms. You're the grown rear end adult version of the 14 year old carving swastikas into their locker or talking about how cool charles manson is. Being a twizted psychopath isn't something to be admired. I bet you'll feel much differently if your parents/sibling or your girlfriend (who am I kidding, you probably don't have one of those) or other close friend is killed in a terrorist attack. Second goon, first of all don't do that annoying thing where say acronym/abbreviation (thing the acronym/abbreviation actually means). It defeats the purpose of abbreviating it in the first place. Just say the full name instead of signalling that you're "in the know" about the industry terminology. As for the suicide, it's fine to feel bad about it but as you yourself acknowledge, it clearly wasn't about you and blaming yourself in any way shape or form is kind of presumptuous and arrogant. Clearly something was going on in her life that had absolutely zero things to do with you. So grieve, but don't be that guy who tries to leech off of other peoples' pity by saying "maybe it was me oh god why didn't I do something to stop it".

She's a garden-variety prostitute who has a sideline of going "oh poor me I'm homeless" so suckers will let her stay at their house, wherein she steals all their stuff. If you want to get your dinky stinky, hire a real prostitute. If not, just stay a virgin, there's no shame in that.

I mean, those numbers are super arbitrary, like all forms of measurement 72 degrees Fahrenheit is 22.2222 degrees Celsius, not 20. This post is literally complaining that a number you picked yourself is not a round number. I would have said 70 degrees even, which is as good a number as 20.

loquacius posted:I mean, those numbers are super arbitrary, like all forms of measurement I was making a point that Fahrenheit isn't any more intuitive then Celsius because they're both arbitrary and your argument that Fahrenheit is intuitive is loving dumb. Celsius, unlike Fahrenheit, is used by the vast, vast, vast, vast, vast, majority of the world and since they're both equally arbitrary Celsius is superior.
