I just realized while cooking that a measuring-cup cup (as measured out as 250mL in a glass measuring cup) is the same amount(s) as one of the actual plastic 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!

**EDIT: to clarify, I mean volumetrically for measuring liquids

Having a tooth pulled wouldn't be that expensive.

Now I see why Noone in America goes to the dentist

I'm scheduled for my wisdom teeth to be pulled. 55 euros a pop.

Wow I had one of mine removed and it costed 580 Euros, been putting off going because they checked the other teeth and had to get two fillings total bill was 1,140 Euros. Sucks because I was told when this happened two years ago that I’d need the other one pulled out soon and after that costing just over half my months pay, I have been putting it off.

I can understand putting it off with those prices... Mine will cost me out pocket. If it's over four hundred my insurance would reimburse me, too. (Of course I've been paying into my insurance fund for a lot of years now)
