    I went for quality and got this one, as have many other keepers. It's a great scale, but if money is tight I'm sure something cheaper from Target will do just fine.

Honestly, I think a scale that weighs over 11 pounds is going to be overkill, if all you have is BPs. Not many females get over 5,000 grams at all. Brian Gundy's girl is the only one that comes to mind, though some sub-Saharans might also get that big.

    i had a laboratory scale at my disposal for a while. really fun. it resolved the weight of a signature done with a ball point pen. the paper gained weight, the pen lost weight. frightening. resolution 0.00001 gram. truly heisenberg. the same coin would give different readings depending on its temperature because hot air rises up.

    anyway what you want is to delete ounces and pounds from your mind, these are dead, and 1000 grams are a kilogram and 1000 kilograms is a metric ton. its just so base 10 linear, really easy, it even covers the megaton range you might know from talk about thermonuclear weapons.

    then just buy a digital scale, kitchen scale.

    Lmao! Heisenberg! Is that a Walter White joke or an actual Werner Heisenberg name drop? Lol

    I use a "Tree" brand by LW Measurements off of Amazon. Reads in grams, oz's, lbs, lbs oz's and one other I believe in 1 gram increments up to 75lbs. So far it has been very accurate, has a hold feature, blue backlit display, a zero button, and a flip up deck for keeping tubs from falling off. I'm very happy with it and only spent $40 on it.
