Gosh, I'm sorry my childhood trauma of having to be held down by my mother while an ex-Army *kitten* dentist pulled the nubs of my remaining 2 front teeth while I'm screaming my 3 y/o head off. Oh and I'll hop in my TARDIS, travel back 48 years and stop my parents from having sex so I don't get born with poor dental genetics.
I brush twice a day with the "best" toothpaste available to me. I floss despite the stupid *kitten* shredding every time.

My dad also hates dentists because of a military dentist. Air Force. He bit the *sloth* out of a dentist who nearly choked him.
I love my dentist. She's a kook who strongly believes in positive reinforcement, I guess. Or maybe I really AM her favorite patient. Every time I go, she gives me some kind of crazy compliment. Last time, she told me my x-rays were "phenomenal." That's just not something you hear every day.

When someone asks me a question then wants to argue about why my answer isn't right. Seriously?!?!?! If you didn't want my answer why did you ask me in the first place?!?!?7

These are measurements for volume.
1 cup is 8 oz
3/4 cup is 6 oz
1/2 cup is 4 oz
1/3 cup is 2 1/3 oz
1/4 cup is 2 oz
Then you get into Tablespoons and teaspoons which are 1 oz and less.
Some people like to use measuring cups and some like to weigh. I prefer to use a food scale and weigh out everything in grams. I only use measuring cups if my scale is broken. I will add, sometimes depending on the density of a certain item the weight may not be 8 oz for a cup.
You beat me to it.
BTW, a dash is about ten drops.
.
I prefer volume measurements for everything but bread. I can eyeball volume measurements, but I have no idea what a "gram" looks like. It's a more "organic" way of cooking; doing things by eye, and by taste.
eta: oh! and if anyone is wondering, a measuring cup is eight fluid ounces, not weighed ounces.
Wait, what?? Cups....I can't even....caroldavison332 wrote: »Why DO people post questions here that they could look up FASTER than we would respond? Or the I weigh 121 pounds and want a loose one pound. It's been a week and a half. What's wrong?
Or the "here is a photo of me at 110lb, am I slim or should I try for 105lb?"
Please, some of us would kill for 150lb and 110lb is an unreachable dream for some, don't be that person!!2 -
Constipation and the calories in peanut butter and our current political climate.17

People who use headphones at the grocery store (?!) & while driving (!!). And the ones who max the volume, so I get to hear their crummy music, too.
In my state, it is against the law to wear headphones while driving. However, the ones who get me are the ones who are listening to music on their headphones in the gym and you can hear them all the way across the weight room.

Well later on in life you can laugh when they say, "Huh, what did you say?"5 -
I hate it when I let someone cross the road and they take their sweet time making it to the other side. Just move your tale!10

Measuring cups...
The big one is 1 cup3 -
I hate Spring winds in NM...25 MPH gusting to 50 MPH...no way I'm riding in that and the sand storms that will come with it.
Looks like I'll be on my trainer this evening.1 -

Oh my gosh, me too!! I saw one yesterday for peanut butter cake. It was just a white cake mix made according to package directions but substitute pb for the oil. Really?? Someone thought that was worth a like and a share?5 -
I hate that I cut open an avocado today and it the pit made most of the volume. There wasn't as much actual avocado. #FirstWorldProblem8

For a quick approximation, 1 cup is about equal to .25 liter.

If we want to get technical the liquid measuring cups are not the same as dry measuring cups.
Myself, I weigh measured liquid portions and stick to the gram weight. I hate dragging out a bunch of measuring tools!

True. To clarify for people who aren't in the US, both cups are trying to measure the same volume, but they do it in a different way. (There aren't two different units of measurements, one for liquids and one for dry things. It's one unit of volume.)
Also confusing is that a US and UK pint are not the same - the UK one is about 20% more. So if you see references to cups being half a pint, it's half a US pint.2 -
