Let's add the problem of trying to figure out how many grains a "pinch of salt" is.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.

And how do you deduce that, smarty-pants? Hmmm?

All is well that ends in pizza.
For the last few months, even more, there has been a commercial for a cheapass laser level that makes me grind my teeth every time it is on.
I don't mind it, for the most part, cheesy dialog pomising leveling it really can't deliver, because it's just a straight edge light. No problem, homeowners can learn to use a bubble level if they have to.
No, it's not your ordinary cheese that makes my teeth grind. it's the voiceover saying "It even goes around corners!" and showing it lighting around an outside corner.
I can't help the alarm bells that go off and make me wince and grumble "No it can't!"
Yes, if you point it from somewhere opposite the corner, it can illuminate a line across the two walls, joined at the corner, but it does not "go around" the frickin corner, dammit.
This rant brought to you by a frustrated physics nerd.

Obviously what you'd need in that case is one of those fancyshmancy sets of "pinch" and "dash" spoons. Then you could count.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Our math genius doesn't know it yet, but she's been given a recipe with inexact measurements. Will her head explode? Let's watch
I am fine with inexact measurements. Those are not inexact measurements, they're faux-exact measurements.

I've wondered about that. Now I know.

Yeah, but they're probably name-brand-expensive-couldn't-find-them-even-if-you-sold-your-soul. That price is a bit too high for my, ahem, taste.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

If you still have your soul, you shouldn't even be shopping for them. They're obviously too high end for you.

Nah. They came with my $20 measuring set at Bed, Bath & Beyond.

I saw some beautiful plates in there, but each one was about $10 each. I bought my measuring cups and spoons at the dollar store. They sometimes have good stuff, sometimes not.
