What's a common occurrence in your hobby that you think shouldn't be? (lemmy.world)

For me it's driving while under the influence. If you couldn't tell, I like me some ganja. However I have long since held the belief that it is utterly insane to drive while under the influence of most substances, with maybe nicotine and caffeine being the exception. All too often I see other stoners smoking and driving, which I simply can't fathom. I've only operated a vehicle once under the influence and it was just to move a U-Haul around the block to a different parking spot, which was such a scary experience while high that I refuse to even consider getting behind the wheel again while high.

The problem with cups and tbsp/tsp is that it varies between sets of spoons.

100g is 100g no matter what. And I don't need to look for the damn spoons all the time, I can just mix the ingredients by weight directly into the bowl.

Not just that, when I moved out of my parents' place or out on my own from a roommate situation all I ever needed was my scale. I didn't have to buy wet measuring cups, dry measuring cups, measuring spoons and what have you filling my drawers and cupboards with inaccurate nonsense.

I also have ultra accurate versions of a couple of my friends' grandparents' recipes. Turns out just a dash of this and a dash of that was amounting to up to 50 grams of extra corn flour or whatever. If you can get someone to participate in giving you a recipe you can really just recreate it with zero guesswork.
