@The_T @aescling I didn't put a cup under the soap thing, I just let it pour into the machine and thought "That seems like enough"

@monorail @aescling mmmm... I'd rather you not use too much of the soap....

@The_T @monorail @aescling I didn't use much

@The_T @monorail @aescling It probably would have been less than 2

@amy @monorail @aescling I know. It's just safer/better to measure it. :)

@amy @monorail @aescling when I teach you cooking we DEFINITELY need to make sure you measure...

@The_T @monorail @aescling Next time I'll measure it and time it, and then all the times after that I'll know how long to hold it for :p

@amy @monorail @aescling nope that doesn't work. The rate at which the soap dispenses varies based on pressure; you rotate the cap on top to adjust the pressure, but generally the less soap in the dispenser, the slower it dispenses

@The_T Right but it's something you can get a feel for

@amy 🙅

@amy @The_T this is actually not a teachable skill! People are born with a predetermined ability to estimate the volume of soap they put in the wash. it's strictly a talent, like being good at math or art there's no way to get better at it after being born

@Lucy @amy or cooking, you forgot cooking.

@The_T @amy oh yeah, i just assumed we had all seen ratatouille (2007), a movie about being born correctly as a rat if you want to be a good cook

@Lucy @amy but see, Amy is a ratatouille (2007) and she still can't cook

@monorail @aescling no but like

for example I think I've been using "premium press" but that's actually probably the wrong one to use, was something I was noticing a day or two ago
