The hard fact is that what the population votes for is what the population gets. They have completely given up their agency and just accept this impotent logic of "we'll take whatever the most obvious/most apparently easy option is, that isn't a Republican". It's a cyclical problem, the voters don't care enough to force politicians to be good, and the politicians don't care enough to court voters.

I should get used to that with my grater. I either press with huge amounts or just do the old smash and rapid micro slice.

The pumps they sell for coffee syrup dispensers maybe.

Also they sell non-medical syringes for general use.

Shoe sizes need to go too. Just measure it in centimeters. List all the measurements - length, width at forefoot, midfoot, rearfoot. Let people go online and look up a list of shoes that actually fit perfectly. Instead we have three or four different variants of shoe size numbers, gendered, that don't even work with width, and half the time are too big or too small.

Wait until you hear about PEX piping.

A lot of toilet paper holders are secured to the wall with drywall hangers. An L-shaped one-piece one is basically asking to be torqued right out of the wall.
