Well it so happens I have a little set of spoons labelled 'pinch' 'smidgen' & 'dash' (sounds like santa's reindeer). So I took the spoon labelled 'dash' and spooned water into a little jug with ml up the side and it looks like 7 dashes = 5ml so 2 dashes would be 1.43ml
You might need a fine syringe for whatever it is you are doing!

Also, I googled how big is a dash of something and this came up first:

But generally, most sources today suggest that a dash is a scant ⅛ of a teaspoon, a pinch is about 1/16; of a teaspoon, and a smidgen is 1/32; of a teaspoon. A dollop usually refers to a small portion — about a tablespoon — of soft food, such as sour or whipped cream.

Also, 1 Imperial teaspoon (UK) = 5.91319 ml so that would give 1.48ml for 2 dashes.

0.000% of Communism has been built. Evil child-murdering billionaires still rule the world with a shit-eating grin. All he has managed to do is make himself *sad*. It has, however, made him into a very, very smart boy with something like a university degree in Truth. Instead of building Communism, he now builds a precise model of this grotesque, duplicitous world.

I did watch and I did very much enjoy - thank you.

It's always amazing when people (well, oped writers...) complain about adaptations of A Christmas Carol 'being all political'. Even at its most basic the story is making a broadly political point, and even the weaker adaptations can't help but being a pretty blunt hammer of a message. And most of the adaptations pull their punches a bit compared to the book (how many - or how few - include Ignorance and Want, the children of mankind, hiding under the robes of Christmas Present, for instance?)

A couple of Christmases ago I jested on these forums about how there must be some conservative shitheads who think that Henry Potter is the real hard-done, unheralded hero of It's A Wonderful Life...and then I went searching and of course there are columnists saying exactly that, despite every surface, textual and meta reading of that story making it clear that he's the bad guy. If a character played by Jimmy Stewart gives not one but two speeches explicitly calling you a bitter, money-grubbing exploiter of mankind, you are the baddy.

Don't forget one of the "proofs" that Jezza is anti-semitic was when (during one of those pre-GE2019 tv interview) he said he would give Johnson a copy of A Christmas Carol as a present.

Genuinely curious why you'd ask for the conversion here, it's such a small amount and the bottles have a dasher on them already so it's not like you'd need to measure it out.

It's probably something like that. Plenty of recipes (sic) should have a bit in them where one step should be "firmly grasp the bottle of _____ and hoik it into the bin".

Of course, proportions do matter. I'll share some deep wisdom here: the secret to a great prawn mayonnaise mix is just the right amount of paprika.

And with that I have to announce, ladies and gentlemen, that I have over-paprika'd my prawn mayonnaise mix. Grrrr.

I couldn't disagree more

unless you're making something that requires a specific chemical reaction to take place, proportions can be hosed with as much as you like

the fact that celebrity chef and/or tiktok influencer Cook Chefferson likes their pasta sauce with precisely one and a half cloves of garlic doesn't mean I automatically have to use the same amount, regardless of how little or how much I actually like garlic

I haven't watched It's A Wonderful Life yet this year, but that prompted me to look up George Bailey's first speech to Potter. drat, it hits especially hard at the moment :(


It's A Wonderful Life posted:


HP: What does that get us? A discontented, lazy rabble instead of a thrifty working class. And all because a few starry-eyed dreamers like Peter Bailey stir them up and fill their heads with a lot of impossible ideas. Now, I say...

GB: Just a minute... just a minute. Now, hold on, Mr. Potter. You're right when you say my father was no businessman. I know that. Why he ever started this cheap, penny-ante Building & Loan, I'll never know. But neither you nor anybody else can say anything against his character because his whole life was...Why, in the twenty-five years since he and Uncle Billy started this thing, he never once thought of himself. He didn't save enough money to send Harry to school, let alone me. But he did help a few people get out of your slums, Mr. Potter.

And what's wrong with that? Why, you're all businessmen here. Doesn't it make them better citizens? Doesn't it make them better customers? You...you said...what did you say just a minute ago? They had to wait and save their money before they even ought to think of a decent home? Wait! Wait for what? Until their children grow up and leave them? Until they're so old and broken down that they... do you know how long it takes a working man to save five thousand dollars?

Just remember this, Mr. Potter, that this rabble you're talking about - they do most of the working and paying and living and dying in this community. Well, is it too much to have them work and pay and live and die in a couple of decent rooms and a bath? Anyway, my father didn't think so. People were human beings to him, but to you, a warped, frustrated old man, they're cattle. Well, in my book he died a much richer man than you'll ever be!

HP: I'm not interested in your book. I'm talking about the Building & Loan.

GB: I know very well what you're talking about. You're talking about something you can't get your fingers on, and it's galling you. That's what you're talking about. Well, I've said too much. You're the board here, you do what you want with this thing. Just one thing more, though: This town needs this measly one-horse institution if only to have some place where people can come without crawling to Potter.
