What's wrong with mechanical bathroom and kitchen scales?
- dividedbyzero 4y agoI tried to get such a kitchen scale and couldn't find one that wasn't either highly imprecise or ridiculously expensive (like three digit euros) If you have a vintage one that is reasonably exact, they're great.
- ilammy 4y agoYou cooking meth there or something? It's a kitchen scale, I doubt you'd need that much of precision from it.
- zimpenfish 4y agoI use the kitchen scales (and a smaller set of digital scales) for measuring out things like resin where you do need a reasonable degree of precision, especially when you're measuring out small amounts e.g. 5g of A and 6g of B.
- ClumsyPilot 4y agoyep, also been doing that, mixing epoxy requires good accuracy. that being said, UK police considers kitchen scales as evidence that you were dealing drugs
- dividedbyzero 4y agoEver tried baking with some of your ingredients 20-30% off? Doesn't work well for lots of recipes. What's even worse is when the error isn't a linear x%, but changes with increasing weight.
