Mozzarella goes in 2 minutes before I pull it out, I'm pretty sure this was also a suggestion in the article above.

Yes! Pizza stone! Best 12 euros I've ever spent. This[0] is the kind of results I'm able to get in a normal Ikea electric oven that maxes out at 250 C. Another thing you can do with it is experiment with a Weber-like barbecue... [

I didn't say you downvoted me and I'm sure you didn't, though a couple of people must have... Thus said I'm not denying that in most places a decently educated person knows about the darker side of history of their count

First of all there is a winky face in my message, it's interesting how a message in jest can trigger nationalistic sentiments (downvotes in this case). In all seriousness though, the 8th of May is still celebrated with victory parades

And most French I know have this weird notion they somehow won WWII because the true French government was in London ;)

Well said! I would also like to add that history is also (in part) a construct of the times you live in. Greece post-1830 looks back at the ancient times while all but forgetting the centuries of Ottoman rule that also shaped the current cu

IIRC Hubertus Bigend (from Gibson's novels) wore a IKB suit just because it couldn't be faithfully reproduced on screens and photos.

Yeah but the acceleration from gravity is constant so maybe there is just a (possibly non linear) change of coordinates that can be applied to the regular paraboloid. Also a paraboloid would work only for rays that are parallel to one anoth

You certainly can make noodles with cake flour, but I think decent noodles need at least 50% durum flour even when you're using eggs.

If someone wants to read something that is more like a classical physics paper there are these two papers by Jonathan Gorard: https://www.wolframcloud.com/obj/wolframphysics/Documents/so... https:/&#x2F

I have an account with an Italian bank that offers multicurrency accounts (EUR, USD, CHF, GBP + others not activated by default). If I change 1000 EUR to USD now I get 1089.90 USD, if I try to change 1089.90 USD to EUR I get 993.80 EUR, so

It's not quite the same ethically: for all of this to work you should make this attenuated virus spread faster than the more deadly ones, so there is a positive act to be made which goes directly against the Hippocratic oath (do no har

I see one potential drawback to this (as opposed to a vaccine), and that is the impossibility to protect immunodeficient subjects: if you have an effective vaccine you can be fairly certain that people with leukemia or full blown AIDS can b

That's funny! I tried to remember it and typed what came to mind first into gmail and I got a hit from an archived GoogleTalk session from 2006. Layers upon layers of computer archeology.

I own an illustrated encyclopedia of Italian food: there are 9 pages of regional cuts of beef! That's what you get in a country that unified 160 years ago...

I assembled a controller for my smoker from a cheap PID from aliexpress, a relay and a fan. It works like a charm and it's an order of magnitude cheaper than buying a complete solution.

I'm not an epidemiologist, but I have some background in Bayesian problems in biophysics. Some back of the envelope math for Lombardy, the hardest hit region: Total population ~ 10M Total deaths (2020/3/30) = 4773 If one assu

And also some of the Nazi laws in Germany. So what? Even a broken clock is correct twice a day. In the meantime he implemented racial laws in 1938 and dragged us into war alongside Germany. For both of those things (among others) the fascis

Good if you are not trying to do some weird stuff like, god forbid, fractional scaling on wayland.

That might be the case in the US but I'm sure it's not in the EU. As a matter of fact I think most European countries (except Germany) also forbid packets that don't have 20 cigarettes.

I don't think there can be any volume discount for cigarettes by law. I'm pretty sure tobacconists always make the same amount per pack regardless of how many they manage to move.

It's not about programming languages, but it contains a lot of information about the birth of cybernetics in the USSR: Red Plenty by Francis Spufford. Highly recommended!

I'm an Italian currently quarantined in Buenos Aires, I'm very happy to report that since the Italian heritage in this country is very strong I have yet to see an apartment without a separate bidet. :)
