Food scale for liquid?
My food scale has an ml option. I just used it to make a piña colada. I'm wondering if that would be accurate for liquid or if it's basically just spewing the grams number in ml? Seems easier than dirtying a measurement cup

Is cycling really quicker for short trips?
I saw somewhere that for trips of less than 5 miles that riding a bike would actually get you where you are going faster than a car. Well I don't have a car and I live in a small town where I work roughly 1-1.5 miles depending on route I take. I work at a grocery store so hauling back a bunch of groceries is never a big…

Negotiating Gym Price?
I lost about 75 pounds and now I feel like my body is just a blank canvas. I want to get some actual muscles but, the only gym within walking distance of my house (no car) is anytime fitness which they say is $45 a month. I'm hoping to get $35 or less. Do gyms negotiate price? Maybe even have cash discounts?
