  Weight is for large batches. Measuring cups are for smaller commercial batches. Including flour, which we just handle a little differently with the same measuring cups. I'm currently a baker in a bakery.

  Re: Re: Re: No. Not true. Also, silly.

  The solution for a stuck ring, in addition to using some kind of lubrication is to hold the skin taunt at the base of the finger while attempting to pull the ring off.
  
  And on that note, please don't use your spit if you're going to hand the ring to someone else. That's just disgusting. Also, you can draw the skin taunt by slightly bending your finger.

  And if it gets stuck on your finger, it'll be really hard to cut off without taking your finger with it....
  
  Not slip off or take off. Cut off. Specifically.
  
  I used to manage a fine jewelry store, and we had to remove stuck rings on a regular basis. Most took a special little saw tool. Others, such as tungsten bands and this ring, require a C-clamp. Easy and relatively painless.
  
  Been there, done that.

• On the post: MPAA Rates Film About MPAA Ratings As NC-17

  Re: Hold on...

  The answer is that the ratings system has nothing to do with the law, and anyway, there's plenty of sex in this movie.

  Re: Re:

  By definition, this isn't pornographic.
  
  Pornography or porn is the explicit portrayal of sexual subject matter for the purposes of sexual arousal and erotic satisfaction.
  
  Genitals, by themselves, are not sexual. Even waggling back and forth doesn't qualify it, especially since the purpose was amusement and not arousal.

  Re: Re: Pornographic

  But they don't describe her at all, except for specifying that she was naked. She was also a little kid, and as the mom of several little kids, they all love to run around naked. That's normal.

  Re: Wtf???

  I've read it a bazillion times and just reread it two weeks ago, in preparation for passing it to my 10-year-old daughter. There's no sex or porn in that book. The kids are all pre-pubescent, fer Christ's sake.

  But how do schools enforce various zero-tolerance policies for touching/bullying and still allow kids to be kids?
  
  You don't. Those things are incompatible, and zero tolerance policies are stupid.

  Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re:

  The fact is that demand for the DVD has gone up, and they're going to profit off of it. It's called business.
  
  The fact is that we're discussing streaming rights for this film. Any demand for the DVD should be unaffected by the availability of the streaming version.

• On the post: Is Using A Piece Of Existing Music In A Film To Underline An Emotion 'Rape' – Or Just The Way Cinema Works?

  Re: rape

  Feminists argue simultaneously that rape is an act of violence and that men are responsible for rape. Violence doesn't require a penis so why are women excluded?
  
  Feminists don't argue that men are solely responsible for rape, or that women can't or don't rape.
  
  Novak applies the same logic to this as she is excluding her own kind, those who she agrees with, from the copyrapists.
  
  Novak's comments show that she is not a feminist, anyway, so your entire comment is both wrong and irrelevant.
