By "runny scrambled" I mean a folded omelette with a runny center, just-set exterior, and no browning. Classic French style, not just slop on a plate.

I do French-style omelets in a carbon steel pan, on an electric cooktop. Mine's an 8.5" omelet pan, perfect for two egg omelets. I treat it a lot like a wok: heat up until a bit of water dropped in shows the Leidenfrost effect, du

Runny scrambled (French omelet) isn't too bad on carbon steel IME. And certainly possible on cast iron, since that was the type of pan used when Carême wrote his cookbook. By Escoffier's time carbon steel was more common. Neither

To add (and agree), if you've got (say) a 10-word Diceware-style passphrase with ≥128 bits of entropy, the point of a KDF becomes solely for the domain separation that KDFs provide. That's not particularly relevant for the USB dri

Not all providers tread dots and plusses the same. Gmail ignores dots (strips them out), and omits a plus and anything after it. Some providers include dots, so stripping them will be a different email address. Same for plusses and the cont

On the plus side, in electroplating the positive ions are what actually moves. So in the experiments where you can visually see something move from one terminal to the other the conventional current direction is obviously correct.

Nearly every bug is at best a denial of service. If the service worked as expected, there wouldn't be any bug. CVSS considers any denial of service a security issue. Therefore, all bugs should have CVE numbers. The Linux team took this

How would that work? If you only pay for one day, your access (read and write) gets cut off after the first month. Then if you don't pay the bill for the entire grace period, your data gets deleted.

Boo! Permanent Dawn time is better. Every day at 03:00, set the time when the upper limb of the sun will cross the sea-level horizon at the equator to 06:30. That means kids never have to wait for the bus in the morning in the dark, except
