Do you have a preference?
Why?
Walmart sells Anchor Hocking.
Bed Bath & Beyond sells Pyrex.
Maybe due to the store (or not?) Walmart is cheaper.
Bed Bath & Beyond is more than double the price.
If you're going to buy a full set (with duplicates) the cost can add up.
Hence the question.

The Anchor Hocking and Pyrex measuring cups I had dribbled down the sides of the cup and made a mess if you tried to pour a liquid slowly.

But look at the prices.
$16 iFlower 16oz https://www.amazon.com/dp/B089CW35VY
$13 Pyrex 8oz https://www.walmart.com/ip/Pyrex-Prepware-1-cup-Measuring-Cup-Red-Graphics-Clear/33158667
(I couldn't find a 16 oz cup so expect it to be around the same as the iFlower)
$4 A/H 16oz https://www.walmart.com/ip/Anchor-Hocking-Glass-Measuring-Cup-16-Ounce/14938488
And that's a 4x price difference for just for one measuring cup.

mother had a glass measuring cup pretty much like these, and when my
brother was in medical school, he measured the volume with something
from the chem lab and it was off by 20% or more.
I don't know he would do this unless maybe some professor mentioned it
in class.

When I go into a public restroom, I typically leave the seat up. Unfortunately,

all the people that I'm being nice to don't realize it.
Woman or man, if you had to sit down to relieve to yourself, which would
you rather do:
Put the seat down or wipe off the piss from the previous jerk who couldn't
take the trouble to lift the seat up?
Men: The next time you need to take a leak, leave the seat up.
Men and Women: The next time you find the seat left up, think of me.

it's a "want to". The wife and I are empty nesters. I put the seat down for her
because I *want to* not because I have to.

All bedrooms and bathrooms in my house have dimmers.
All of our floor lamps used to be dimmable via Alexa, but all it took
was a couple of WiFi outages and SWMBO said "Be gone with them!"
Her: "I hate talking to the lamps in the first place. I hate it even more when
they don't listen."
Using old school 50-100-150 3-ways now.

I'm quite confident there are women who would pitch a bitch if the husband
left the seat up. That's why I called it "bullshit". Any grown-up should be
able to ensure the seat is in the correct position before using the toilet.

Doesn't your bathroom have a door? Mine does.
