God I feel this so much

The main issue is over the years I’ve gathered so much knowledge about so many subjects I can basically go on a tangent like a champion

Tangents are my jam. Do you also connect the most random topics together? It’s always funny when someone talks about electrical engineering, and I chip in with the comment that it reminds me I should up my caloric intake

Oh hell yeah

And sometimes even make multiple jumps from one topic to another waiting for the next moment to talk.

Or in the case of when a few of my buddies and I hang out we will talk for hours and our topics will be as wide as the ocean and as deep as a puddle. Or the opposite, as deep as the ocean and as wide as a puddle.

Explaining the connection while seeing the other person progressively lose more faith in humanity is never a dull moment.

X reminds of 6 reminds me of b reminds me of reminds me of 278 reminds me of d€1hG reminds me of π÷s8Ga&j

So very clearly, X has everything to do with π÷s8Ga&j

I have ADHD, and my dad has both ADHD and mild autism. Our conversations are like a series of neverending TED Talks about everything from cat behavior to mechanical engineering.

“…so that character came in the third season, but actually they were an extra in the first season, so it’s kind of like…hey…are you leaving? To the bathroom? Oh ok, let me follow. So, as I was saying, they became a member of the fulltime cast in the third…oh it’s ok, there’s a partition next to the urinal, I can’t see anything. So, like I said, they only came in the third season, but they wanted to be in the second season, but the producer at the time had a grudge…hey…where are you going? A stall? Oh ok, well you can still hear me, so let’s find two side-by-side stalls. So anyway, wait until you hear what happened once the fourth season started…”

Why do you use scales for everything?

Because it’s way more precise than pouring liquids into a beaker (which can be off by 10%), much easier to judge than bending down to judge a level, and since with water 1 ml == 1g (yeah, metric system helps…) fairly easy to calculate. All other liquids commonly used are close enough.

Also what the fuck is 3 cups of flour/rice/salad (?!) even supposed to mean. Loosely packed? Compressed?

Yep, measuring by weight is the only way to get consistent results for bread dough.

The density of flour seems to change based on weather and humidity levels, so trying to measure by volume is pointless.

If I come across a recipe that has cup measures there’s no chance I’m using it

1ml of distilled water in perfect conditions = 1g … but it’s still close enough most of the time to not matter. Other liquids could be off by larger margins.

You probably won’t be surprised to learn that I am very much a James Hoffman disciple, between that and being a foodie I was always destined to be a weight supremacist.
