My first example was “a cup of frozen chicken strips”.

I know I can make a guess how much they mean, but I could easily be off by a factor of 2.

It really wouldn’t be hard to have the weight listed.

This sounds like a catch-22 problem.

Maybe scales could be improvised, with a stick, some cups, and awkward-shaped chunks of chicken in one of the cups.

True, but that’s just replacing a cup with a length, and rules out using an existing tub.

Why not use weight, which is easy to measure and tolerant of different forms/shapes?

(Yes, the “bird poop” one is correct, it does talk about fuel consumption too).

A similar chart could be made for the US, proving that it does use metric: soda and wine bottles, medicine doses, eye-glasses measurements (in fact most medical things).

I think that both systems are used in schools now.

But then I see cooking instructions for a “cup of chicken strips” and a recipe having 1/4 cup of butter, and I wonder why anyone thought that volume was a good idea there.

I govenment site I visited recenly made a point of how it accepts emojis in passwords!

True, poor choice of phrase.

But I was thnking of something like

#define my_macro does not fit\
on one line

Unix or dos format?

Anyway, you probably need to put a backslash before it to indicate line continuation.

But wouldn’t it be better to use something more traditional, such as <br>?

That’s, like, halfway down the list of things to try!

British fish fingers are usually mind-blowingly tasty compared to American fish-sticks. That might explain some of the disagreement.

Or Yoda is a Forth programmer.

The USCIS site makes it clear that your CAN use emojis in your password.

ETA: but not required.

I bought a PC kit and it said “some assembly required” so I always try to link at least one asm file in my projects.

I told you to remember where you parked it.

I thought that it became MANGA when it changed from FAANG?

It explains that it means “fan failure”.

And there was a link to a video of it happening.

The only other link to an MS support page did not work.

But you’re not allowed to proceed in life until you’ve pressed any key!

I remember an obscure one named “grommit” that was a dancing animated character and you’d click it to change arm and leg movements.

Bonzi buddy was over of the bad ones, maybe?

Drain.exe would say “water in drive a:, commencing spin cycle” then power up the drive and make a gurgling sound.

Sheep.exe … would create a sheep that would wander the desktop.

When I read it, it stirred a distant memory of hearing such a story before, so I knew that there was something behind it and looked it up.
