Uh oh - a linguistics Wikipedia article.

And here I was, planning to work.

Interesting - is there a point at which you’d switch to saying individual digits? Like if you’re listing eight digits of pi, is it still three point fourteen million, one hundred fifty-nine thousand, two hundred sixty-five?

Ah yes, the US Food, Drink, and Drug Administration (FDDA).

No offense intended, just poking fun.

US mid-Atlantic: Pricing is elevated, but strange; some eggs that are usually higher cost now cost less than the typically lower cost eggs. For example (all for dozen large eggs):

Store brand, conventional: $6.93

Store brand, cage free: $4.95

Store brand, organic free range: $4.59

Eggland’s Best (premium brand): $4.99

No problem - cheers.

From the page that you linked:

The important thing to remember is don’t use possessive apostrophes with any pronouns, either possessive pronouns or possessive adjectives.

If you see an apostrophe with a pronoun, it must be part of a contraction.

its—possessive adjective of it

it’s—contraction for “it is”

The nature of the object doesn’t change which form to use (which should make it easier to determine which is correct), and the correct form is not a debate.

Sure, language changes, but for now that’s the accepted rule.

Fwiw, it looks fine using Voyager

They said investing, not gambling

FYI - ten states (and D.C.) require employees to pay employees for mandatory jury duty. Eighteen states prohibit employers from requiring employees to use personal leave for jury duty.

I think grapefruit in particular has an enzyme that interferes with drugs (can increase or decrease effect):

It’s a cool idea, but has not worked well in practice. The plant referenced in the 2016 article you linked (Crescent Dunes) stopped operation in 2019 due to performance and cost issues. It appears to have restarted after the original owner filed for bankruptcy and sold the asset, but at a lower capacity.

How do you transfer the food from the cutting board to the measuring cup?

You keep saying that, but it’s not an extra step. Weighing the food is in place of the volume measurement, not in addition.

Using volume measurement: start cutting broccoli. Add to a measuring cup until you get the right amount.

Using weight measurement: cut broccoli. Add to scale until you have the right amount (actually I would usually weigh out a single large piece, then chop it all at once - same amount of effort).

Or you place your bowl etc. on the scale and tare after each addition. Doesn’t work in all situations (e.g. pan on the stove) but is great for baking.

If your cup measurements are not the same you need new measuring cups.

In the US, sticks of butter have tablespoon measurements printed on the label, like this: https://www.errenskitchen.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/butter-sticks.jpg

Most people leave the sticks of butter in the fridge with the wrappers on. If you want X tablespoons of butter, you cut through the wrapper and butter at the right mark.

I’m not saying it’s an ideal system (I also prefer recipes that use weights) but it works.

No one else is bothered by Chris thinking the first syllable of his name is “Chri”?

Just a small note: the pressures in this chart are absolute, not gauge. In everyday usage (like talking about tire pressure) we mean gauge pressure - that is, the difference in pressure from atmospheric pressure.

Your overall point is well taken (the change in temperature doesn’t matter much), but the numbers will be slightly different. For example, a tire filled to 100 psig (gauge) will reach 106.496 psig at 100 deg F, versus 105.663 in the original chart (assuming 14.7 psia atmospheric pressure).

Good on you for including a written description of the image but… “picture of the actor Tony Stark”?

Edit: or are these descriptions automatically generated?
