I just realized while cooking that a measuring-cup cup (as measured out as 250mL in a glass measuring cup) is the same as one of the actual baking measuring cups that go inside each other like Russian dolls lol

I thought they were different somehow (something something imperial metric yadda yadda yaddda)

Your turn to come clean Lemmings!

    Unless you’re really, really good at theory. See Von Neumann, Murray Gell-Mann, John Nash, and many others. It really goes for anyone who’s talented significantly above their peers in tech, the arts, sports…

    The problem is that it scales with talent, so someone who’s modestly brilliant will get less leeway than a Nobel (or EGOT) level talent, and talent seems to scale non-linearly.
