We're not lazy....we just work hard so that we can order out all the time 
(Although I've never seen 78ml of basil leaves, maybe I've seen a handful or a few grams.)

It really isn't possible to cook in metric.

I'd be happy to tell them.
I don't think they're good cooks.
I think they're good at marketing, hype, and over-charging for snails - is what I think they're good at.

OK, half a teaspoon of soya sauce, and half an ounce of fish sauce, but's the US measurement for basil leaves?

About 1/3rd of a cup, I think.
Or a handful if you've got large hands.

I love lazy-constructive programmers!
There is a bit different between lazy programmer and lazy-constructive programmer.
First one does not want to do his job. Second one want to do the job:
1) as quick as it's possible,
2) as painless as it's possible,
3) as best as He can do it (never wants to do the things twice!)
I can proudly say: i'm lazy-constructive programmer

I'd say the same for me, except I'm less concerned about "as quick as possible" and more concerned with "don't want to have to fix it - so get it right before it goes out"
And it mostly works: a quick check of my current app:
First released 10th Feb 2014.
15 revisions since
80 modifications
13 internal changes (neither bug fixes or mods, they don't affect use: terminology changes, additional documentation files, reorganised folder structures)
24 bug fixes.
I'm happy with that, though the bug fix count is a bit high (mostly trivial spelling mistakes though)

On the other site...
24 bugs per 80 modifications it's 0.3 bug per modification. I'd like to say: it's acceptable

Well it goes both ways. I once followed an American recipe for pumpkin pie, which called for 1 tablespoon of molasses. I did think that was rather a lot at the time, but I went ahead anyway, and the result, predictably, was completely inedible.
Only later did I discover that a) Our tablespoons are roughly twice as big as American ones, and b) Molasses in America means a sweet syrup, rather similar to our Golden Syrup, not the bitter black stuff we use here as a flavouring for savoury things (usually teaspoons worth, not table spoons).
Try encoding that sort of variation in your cooking program!!

My Terrarium experiment is a failure.
By now, It should have started it's own self-contained weather patterns.
After all this waiting, it's just so anti-climatic...

I'd blame global warming (or in your case, the lack of it.)

This afternoon I was out flying with the helicopter again and this time I had a small flycam on board. The video quality is not good yet, due to the vibrations. Still, I was able to get the following picture from one of the videos. The packs of hay where I took the small picture of LaHeli a few weeks ago are to the left. My car is also easy to spot.
Even I am on the picture, but if I would not know where I stood to control the heli, I would not really recognize myself.
FIND ME![^]
Two days ago the heli almost crashed. A servo was blocked and I had barely enough control left to turn it around, get it to hover and then manage a landing in one piece.

Is this the German equivalent of "Where's Wally"?

Extreme left, middle of the picture, by the round white thing?

Nope. That's a pack of hay. I like to use it to make the heli ready for flight, but I'm not standing there at that moment.

Top right, the dark thing that looks like a tree.
Or the bottom right, where you put the other picture. That's how I would do it.

Ok, you got me. I had to stand somewhere where I had a good view in all directions. It's the camera pointing towards the sun and dark clothing that makes me harder to spot.

I was kind of hoping you were holding on for dear life on the helicopter...
