@coderanger To be fair, tsp/tbsp/cup are still used over here, but they’re defined in terms of mL. (1 tsp = 5mL, 1 tbsp = 20mL, 1 cup = 250mL.)

Interestingly, the Australian metric tablespoon is 20mL but the international metric tablespoon is 15mL. So yeah, we are not entirely free of sin over here.

@bitprophet @coderanger @daisy I was riffing on these sorts of “biblically accurate angels” memes & wasn’t aware of the Sefirot, but I see the resemblance
