I hate cooking food, an interesting and creative activity. I'd rather eat trash so I get more time to watch anime and play mind numbing videogames

People at my work going on about how they "lost out" from a poorly described eBay sale as if £3 is the make of break of their entire life. What's it like to have losing £3 be the defining point of your personality? Jesus

CrRoMa posted:Home cooking is such a bullshit waste of time. I had to get up at half 7 and leave for work at half 8, the last thing on my mind come 5pm is going home and cooking a stir fry or a nice omlette. Most of the the time I'll just have a sandwich and an apple. I really do not want to spend 45 minutes in the kitchen preparing a mediocre meal and doing endless dishes when i can get 2 pieces of bread and some cheese and make everything take a tenth of the time. gently caress cooking unless its your job or for a family meal etc. Waste of time. Have you considered preparing good meals instead of mediocre ones? Might make a big difference. In all seriousness though, have you thought about trying some crockpot recipes? Slow cooking can be a real godsend Edit: Many thanks to all those who were polite enough not to mention the typo that lingered here for several hours. christmas boots has a new favorite as of 03:14 on Jan 23, 2019 |

Cooking is a fun and relaxing way to entertain myself that feels semi productive. I spend 20 minutes to an hour every night cooking because I enjoy it and most of the meals I make are better than some takeout I'd pay 5 times as much for. It's also good for the ego to get really good at cooking something and then making it for other people, so they can tell you how good you are at it lol.

Stones is a funny way of measuring weight.

stones have varying weight how do you weigh anything by stones lets take something with a general weight like a couch. "i weigh half a love seat" makes more sense than "ahhh i weigh about twenty stones...maybe five, actually" looking it up, stone as a term is about 14 pounds. just say 14 pounds.

When they say stone for weight, though, they mean the ur-stone: the Earth. A man who weighs three stones weighs three times the weight of Earth.

How so. It's like fortnight or ides (of march) in being useless. I thought euros like the metric system and yet when I see Top Gear they still talk about miles per hour.

The metric system is better than Imperial, but it should still be resisted because it comes bundled with the terrible Celsius system

Canada uses fahrenheit but only for oven temperatures. E: also uses pounds for weight and feet/inches for length a lot, but kilometers over miles. Edgar Allen Ho has a new favorite as of 14:43 on Jan 23, 2019 |

In Fahrenheit the range of acceptable to human temperatures is 0 to 100. In Celcius it's somewhere around -12 to 45 Yeah great system, Europe. Very rational.

Fahrenheit's 0 point is base on the temperature of a mix of ice, water and a specific salt. It's only where it is because the dude found it easy to measure.Edgar Allen Ho posted:Canada uses fahrenheit but only for oven temperatures. Yeah in every day use Australia uses a mix too. Also the last time Australia saw 0F was in 2011 I think.

Fahrenheit, uhh, 30° is cold I guess? 90 is hot? 400 is for baking cake? Or pizza?

*harried working mother in her kitchen* I've got all this water to boil, but I can't remember how hot it has to be! Is it 221 degrees? 122 degrees? There's no way to remember and id I don't get it just right my children will drop out of school! There has to be a better way!

The benefits of a system where the temperatures that most humans will regularly encounter range from 0 to 100 are obvious. It's the Celsius fans who, finding that they simply like Celsius because it's what they're used to but there's no way to actually argue that it's better, break out the freezing and boiling water argument.

Does water work differently in Europe? Does freezing and boiling mean something different there? Because I'm pretty sure water has a way of showing if it's frozen or boiling. You can just look and see, you don't need to check with a thermometer. Pegging your temperature system to something that doesn't actually need to be measured with a thermometer, it's not good, folks.

Okay. You've really convinced the rest of the world that their system is crap with this incredibly strong argument. Or maybe everyone is more comfortable with the temperature system they grew up using, and there is no inherent advantage or disadvantage to either for everyday life. The advantages of Celsius is that it is more easily compatible with Scientific measurements and Kelvin, but that doesn't matter to most people.

Everyone is comfortable with the system they're used to, it doesn't make a difference in daily life. But for the sake of international cooperation, Americans should probably stop giving temperatures in "percent value relative to the difference between a winter in Danzig and the temperature of a person with a slight fever".
