Because of the cost of packaging, I try to base my buying on cost per each or cost per ounce.

With toilet paper it's not worth the effort, so I just pay the bandits what they ask.

Thanks for the laugh.

I use BangYourBuck.com for unit shopping on Amazon. Plus the Keepa plugin to display a historic price line chart, as Amazon constantly claims that everything is on sale.

If asking teenage girls the question needs to be rephrased.

Like if you where driving like 80 miles per hour like how long would it like take you to drive like 80 miles?

I'd have to say responding to anything that includes 'like' is a guess or worse. This video exhibits at least two failures, comprehension of English in a clear statement, literally repeating the question, means they cannot actually listen. Indicates no connection of time-speed-and distance; but I'll bet they know exactly last possible moment to leave and arrive a specific location. The other girl introduces time of acceleration, which is not part of 'driving 80 mph'.

And farther down in the article, we have these two gems.

The previous one, asteroid 2023 CX1, was around the size of two Super Bowl trophies and impacted the Earth near Normandy, France, just seven hours after Sárneczky discovered it.

The first asteroid he discovered right before impact was 2022 EB5, an asteroid around half the size of a giraffe that was spotted just two hours before impacting near Norwegian territory.

So now we can specify lengths to greater precision...

It was X giraffes .Y trophies Z ducks long
