Some of my coworkers were talking about using RSS to read blogs, which made some of the younger folks in our team ask what it is and why we keep using it.

Some still use iPods to avoid subscriptions and streaming services, my favorite was one of our sysadmins who showed me Gopher.

I’m curious about others though, thanks!

    I bought a manual scale, because all the electric ones turn off automatically before i get a chance look how much it actually weighs and there is no easy way to subtract the weight of the plate. Also no super specific small batteries bs. Edit: it can do Tara but if it shuts itself off while i was measuring flour, now i have flour on a plate. How do i know how much the flour weighs minus the plate? That’s my problem.

      What electronic scale doesn’t have a tare function?

      You just need better digital scales. As much as I love analog stuff digital scales have just become so damn good analog can’t compete for anything needing any kind of precision.

      I own three gram scales for food prep…

      All three have tare and use AAA batteries.

          No I prefer my battery powered ones with the backlit screens. I agree the solar (light) cell ones are completely gone.
