this means when the battery is dead, you throw the entire thing away. it's a piece of shit.

I expect weighting plus displaying stuff on a led to be VERY energy efficient (almost 0 consumption), so unless you sleep on it, it shouldn't fail before the time to swap it for the photonic biokinetic mass measurer extreme that counts all subatomic particles in your body.

OTOH, I have a Taylor scale, and it's teh shiat, it has more than 1lb of precision (meaning it's less precise than 1lb). It also changes the value depending on how I step on it. I've seen one (can't remember the brand) with glass on top that supposedly also cost on the

crap. less-than sign broke it.

I've seen one (can't remember the brand) with glass on top that supposedly also cost on the less-than $50 range, and had .05lb precision in whatever way I stood up on it.

I think I'll just go with something old-fashioned with a dial that goes round and round. It'll match the two manual typewriters I just bought.
