When I hear the word "Culture"..... that's when I reach for my revolver. Original quote "Wenn ich Kultur höre ... entsichere ich meinen Browning!"
 
Obligatory Godwin, but sometimes they got it right.

I have an old Salton spring scale, and i just put a big plastic bowl on top, zero the scale, and off I go. It reads up to 10 kg. There are any number of fancy electronic kitchen scales that will do the same thing. I do some German cooking,and a lot of the old recipes are by weight

"Every other animal" - I don't think so. If you dump a 20 lb bag of dog food on the floor and leave for a week, your dog will eat till it cant move 3 days in a row and then starve for 4 days.

Your previous method - chop a pile of onions - throw them in the pot - go to the next ingredient. New method - chop a pile of onions - weigh them - throw them in the pot - go to the next ingredient.
 
Is it really that much more difficult?
 
Chopping a pile of onions takes 5 or 10 minutes; weighing them takes 15 seconds.
 
The meat you throw in probably has the weight on the package.
 
If you _don't_want_to_ figure out how many calories you are taking in, and just eat as much as you want, then go right ahead. Just don't pretend that it can't be done.

That's how I got off the ciggies. Got the idea from a "how to quit" book.First I switched to a brand that was about 10% lower nicotine than my regular smokes. Just made sure not to smoke any more for a few weeks. Then I started to figure out when I would smoke and cut out habitual smokes that were close (in time) to other habitual smokes. One before I got on the bus and one after became half a cig before and half a cig after. Then after a few weeks of that I switched brands again another 10% lower nicotine. Ran the cycle about 3 or 4 times. I started out at half a deck of Players Light a day and finished at 4 Matinee Slims (yeah I know) a day at which point I said Screw It and just quit.

Wrong. The biggest and most powerful military force in the world uses metric units (with a few exceptions). It's the civilians that cling to imperial units.

I don't have a crawl space, but I have a similar question. What is the best way to install a server in my shower? thx.

PCB Boards are used in ATM Machines.

Cyril Kornbluth wrote the idea in a story called "The Marching Morons" back in 1950. Doug Adams did something similar many years later.

Old Scam. - This offering is for "Sophisticated Investors" only. You should read this phrase as "Run Away Quickly", but a lot of people like to think they are smarter and more capable than they really are, and are sucked in. "Hell Yes I'm sufistikated, lets see what you got."

Which is still twice as efficient as a gas powered car.

Two points: 1. No. It isn't - When you take everything into account, including the relative efficiency of a big coal fired plant, the relative inefficiency of an ICE, the transmission line losses, everything, end-to-end, the electric car running on coal fired power emits half the CO2 of an ICE car. 2. Electricity can be produced by all sorts of methods that emit no CO2.

I'm no Seleneologist nor am I a Geologist, but what exactly is up there that we can't get down here in larger quantities for much less money? No sarcasm intended, I'm honestly curious..

6 USB ports? - Lets see - mouse, keyboard (sometimes), phone charge cable, external hard drive, memory stick. I guess I don't need 6 but 3 is a minimum. HDMI- ? yes for big screens in meeting rooms. VGA - not as common as HDMI for big screens, but still out there, could do without. eSATA - dont use it.
