I think Ikea had computers like that to help you figure out what furniture would fit in a room.

you can do it on their website

[~King Lake~]

That is exactly what interior designers do. I think Revit is the tool of choice. Look for free alternatives of that.

I doubt it's easy to learn

Revit is one of the more advanced programs, if you’re interested in learning a new program (not sure what you’d use it for) then maybe try SketchUp

I'm looking for something simple and cheap. Want to make some diagrams for the sugya I'm learning.

There are some apps available where you could play around.
But they won’t look to professional.
Remember, you get what you pay for.

You could also try a guy on Fiverr

What sugya?

I’d assume Eiruvin

There are a few seforim out with diagrams/pictures for Eiruvin.

Sukka is also a big one.

Maybe something with tumas ohel?

Not sure if AI generated images would help but Shchita/trayfus/chullin sugya's also benefit from some (although not as many) seforim with diagrams/pics.

Interesting idea to use AI generator for these as a free resource thanks @YitzyS Let us know if Revit Dall-E or midjourney etc were useful as well as if you find any others!

Can anyone explain this?
Literally half empty

Did you try to weigh it? Food is typically sold by weight, not volume.

[mlardi]

Like spices started to weigh more?

Like minced garlic is more dense than some other spices? Or maybe they do that to keep the spice containers uniform?

[~King Lake~]

Or you’re just not supposed to turn the bottles upside down…

Looks half full to me. Or as a great man once said, your (cup) container is too big!

This. Look at their basil. Full to the top, and cheaper.... per container. Basil is only 1oz, though, vs 2 oz for the minced garlic. The minced garlic comes out cheaper per ounce.

There are regulations about this. Even if you sell by weight, you can not make the packaging deceptively bigger. There are exceptions like adding air to potato chips so they don't get crushed, that's called the potato chip rule.

Spice containers are pretty uniform size wise (each company)

Not unique to heimishe brands.

Wow. Didn't know such rules exist. Is it a UNIVERSALLY ACCEPTABLE rule, or a federal law, or a state law?

Mccormick got sued because they changed the 8oz container to 6oz without changing the actual size of the container

I heard the McCormick story on Planet Money:
