  • That quick temperature change sounds like a double edged sword to me, as a thicker base means it can hold its temperature as you add cold/wet food, which might result in steaming food instead of frying/sautéing.

    On that note, temperature control also helps making cleaning easier. If your oil is heated before you add the food, the food will tend to not stick as much (though there’s a bunch of other factors at play, so I still get use out of my scouring pad).






  • I gotta say that this collection of stories plus all the others is starting to feel less like power mods with vendettas and more like a large scale astroturfing campaign intended to weed out people capable of using logic and/or bridging the gap in the various manufactured (or falsely amplified) conflicts dividing people for no good reason.

    It’s especially weird how many feature “argued about it for 3 messages then admin banned for harassment”, especially since reddit’s mod problem isn’t exactly a secret and they’d be even more aware of it with the full visibility they have and you’d figure they’d want to address it if they were operating on good faith.





  • Looks up Here in the map index… D3 sees this side of the map starts at 13, flips map over, finds D and 3, looks up and slams on brakes before rear ending an even more lost pedestrian.

    “You should watch where you’re driving,” my passenger says before their eyes return to their phone.

    Honks horn, pedestrian is startled out of examining their map, gives a sheepish wave of apology and speeds off. Return to map, notice there’s a big traffic jam on the intended route, turn down a side street instead, thanking map for helping.



  • Or just do it like reddit did, where you can delete your post content and remove your username from it, but the thread and comments remain.

    Though with how the fediverse works, it’s possible to spin up a custom instance that highlights deleted content instead of deleting it, meaning the attempt to get rid of it can be what brings it more attention if anyone has decided to do it. Just like with vote identities, they aren’t anonymous and there are instances/sites that just show who voted for what.







  • The small amount of experience I have with playing around with raw hardware inputs on Linux makes me kinda surprised it took this long and guess that it was to polish this and that someone had a more or less functional version shortly after they decided to try.

    I forget the name of the system, but they have a rules system that can be set up to do arbitrary actions based on arbitrary hardware messages, without even needing to do any kind of binary driver at all.

    I used it to disable the volume commands from my soundbar while trying to get it to behave like it did with the optical input (where soundbar and PC each have their own independent volume settings), because when connected via USB, it would send the volume changes to the PC, so it looked like adjusting the volume changed it in both places. Turns out when in USB mode, it doesn’t use the soundbar volume for anything and the “double effect” was just an illusion caused by the PC steps being larger than the soundbar ones. It was nice having a system to actually check this.
