As said I've never used pounds for anything. I have no concept of them.
Oddly however I always grew up using, and still do use, quarters. Which is a quarter pound though never thought of that way.
I wonder what's a quarter-pounder in France...
:P
I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

If Microsoft Excel decided to stop working overnight, the world would practically end.

This would be useful if US cookbooks didn't use cups as the measurement which can present challenges :lol:
the best recipies of boiled meat with minth sauce accompanied by warm beer or chilled red wine are in Great Britain anyway :P

You're kidding.

It's been a rough quarantine for all of us. Don't judge.
Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

FWIW, in the past few weeks when I ordered food I had pad thai, burritos, curry, fried noodles, and burgers. Not at the same time.

Only ordered twice during the lockdown... Pizza and Pad Thai.

I hope biscuits means something else than cookies, if it doesn't DC would be taking it.
