Yeah, and people who have fallen once already and ended up in the hospital are probably now plenty aware of their limitations, whatever illusions they may have once had.

Oh, so my guess about stirring was wrong -- that doesn't matter (was thinking it would be like stirring ice cream while freezing)? How sensitive is the homogeneity to starch concentration when heating above 142F? Are there any other pa

by dsizzle 5y ago
I think you need to clarify "around those temps." From what I understand, if you stay below 142F, it won't coagulate. Are you just saying that sous vide is precise enough that you can do your own pasteurization? Or are you su
214.
by dsizzle 5y ago
Ah, so you stir it while heating or dilute it enough or something and that prevents coagulation?

Yes, a fall also was the beginning of the end for my uncle. My mom also had a (non-hip-related) fall and that resulted in a hospital and nursing home stay (fortunately she seems to have recovered for the most part). I read this illustrated

The difference between "cooking" and "pasteurizing" is only a few degrees: I've seen 138F for pasteurization while 142F starts to cook. I've never heard of eggnog with literally cooked eggs (chunks of egg and y

Where do you see that? The only portions relevant to this that I see in that blog post are consistent with free-to-post, remove-on-complaint: >When private information or media has been shared on Twitter, we need a first-person report or

Yeah, all the sites I work on are responsive. I wonder if there's some way to make this approach responsive, even if just using breakpoints (vs serving a completely different site requiring a pageload). Doesn't seem like it, but I

This site uses white (on the sides). Does that bother you? Seems fine to me.

Yes to your first question: the example was that quarks (sub-nuclear particles) can be justifiably ignored completely in understanding/predicting some physical properties of matter, like the melting point of metals (even though metals

Conversely you now seem focused on getting into an argument about simulations -- I gave an example of what I meant that doesn't involve simulations and is purely physical but you didn't comment on that. It's true I've fo

First, I'd say it'd be an impoverished scientific worldview that excludes algorithms just because it's not a "thing" per se! But I could have just as well chosen a "thing"-ier example. For example, do quar

Thanks for the reply. I would be interested in your longer reply, if you get the chance! I get where you're coming from now that you mention the microbiome. That similarly reminds me of headlines like "antidepressants alter the br

It makes sense to say corporations have responsibilities though, unlike animals. Maybe you're saying the responsibility part isn't necessary? I agree with your thought, but not sure how to make the responsibility part fit in.

The distinction I'm making is not between different types of atomic motions, but between properties of an algorithm (eg whether it meets a spec) and the physical instantiation of the algorithm running on some computer: ie software vs h

> Everything affects everything else, and the correct questions to ask are how much? I don't think this is true. It's true that interstellar mass movements affect atomic motions on earth (the theory is well understood!), but it

What would really help is if they reported lost person-years. 90 year-olds dying vs 30 year olds would both be "premature deaths," but these are very different types of tragedy!

I had never heard of the quote attributed to Summers, which seems really bad, to the point I questioned if it was real, but in fact there's a Wikipedia entry just on the memo in question! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki&#

Who did the deleting in your example? If it was by the poster, this doesn't seem relevant at all. If Twitter is the one deleting it, then I guess that's a judgment call at the time, but to me that sounds like it's in the publ

It seems even more restrictive than that -- the person (or some authority) has to notify Twitter and request its removal. It's focused on preventing doxxing and abuse. >When we are notified by individuals depicted, or by an authoriz

Another axis to look at is the US over time (which also has less confounding with other differences across cultures). Looking at the graphs in the article, it appears Obamacare may have stopped the decline in self-employed workers. And sinc

I don't see any discussion about compensation, one way or the other. The "find a friend" heading does suggest free favors, but then the text says friends and community members "offered" their help.

Just did a little searching and came across this https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2009-nov-07-hm-reali... That person did some lab testing and found high levels of lead in their backyard-grown chard.

Right, there you go. (Although it doesn't say it completely ignores it either, just that it's not a focus.)

It's not clear where the heavy metals are coming from. One possibility mentioned in the article is the soil itself. I wonder if even potting soil is tested for heavy metals? If heavy metals get through whatever food testing is done by

This problem highlights one advantage of having a distributed remote team. In principle, there may not need be a midnight shift.
