Spoon out sugar, spoon out flour, pour in milk, pour in oil, drop bits of other things in until you get to the weight needed. Even if you wash all of the spoons, it's easier than measuring cups. At worst, you still use a measuring cup or two, but still fewer than before.

Look, I was with you until recently, but your argument really has no leg to stand on.

Maybe if they sold it as one game, instead of selling it in parts and charging $70 for each...

I'm happy that you don't need it, but some of us like better precision. Plus, it's convenient to put a mixing bowl on a scale and add things by weight, rather than using numerous measuring cups.

Precision. Volume varies by how tightly something is packed, how finely something is diced, etc. I've seen recipes that recommend spooning flour into the measuring cup to ensure it's not packed in tightly, so you don't use too much. How much simpler is it to just weigh it?

As an American who has recently learned to love his scale, I'm with you 100%. With that being said, no, many Americans do not have kitchen scales.

That's it, absolutely. It's bigotry in language form. The only people who care about what qualifies as "straight" are those who shun those different from themselves.

Yeah, I somehow doubt that Apple could be done in like Yuzu. They're in a different ballpark, league, and game.

I'm in the unfortunate position of not living in a place to practically use that bicycle, and being unable to afford a cybertruck. I wouldn't buy one, even if I could afford it, but I'd like to be in that position.

Yeah, I was gonna say, Franklin would have been all over that.
