Oh cool, thanks for the full dye link. I think it may be that brining in an adequate salt solution is sufficiently different from this kind of surface marination.

If you don't think about it, vacuum marination is appealing: let's try to squeeze the marinade into the meat! This article is about why that doesn't work. What is missing is a basic explanation of how marinating or brining d

Hmmm. I'd like to reconsider my cast iron pans if that's necessary. But first, I don't abrade them. Second, they don't seem to be rusting. And third, if you're going to season your carbon steel, then it seems like i

The argument for shorter work weeks isn't that it would make these top athlete engineers more (or at least not less) productive, but that it does do for the bulk of average engineers. I think Carmack is arguing against a straw man if h

Seven hours of focused mental work makes me bad at more focused mental work, but it doesn't make me bad at socializing or physical activities, for example, which is exactly what he's trying to say. I disagree with Carmack that mos

The simple thing that I think is missing here is that you can squat in an upright position with your knees in front of your toes or with your torso forwards with your shins vertical (or anywhere in between). And both are okay! What you can&

It's easy to agree that property owners provide value, some more than others. Anyone who thinks otherwise is not seeing the big picture. On the other hand, you seem to be ignoring the realities of supply and demand, which can quite sim

That's fair. Maybe an order of magnitude difference between what's available on say Netflix streaming and what's available for individual rental, and maybe another order of magnitude for all movies ? There sure are a lot of

by jmilloy 5y ago
Yeah. I finally gave up on it last year not because of the catalogue, but because the turnaround got too slow. Individually renting movies to stream is better all-around.
75.
by jmilloy 5y ago
The difference now is that, for 2 or 3 dollars, you can individually rent and stream most movies instantly. No need to pay a subscription that requires you to scroll through a small low-quality subset on a irritating interface.

by jmilloy 5y ago
As of last year when I finally quit, the DVD catalogue was still great, but service was so slow that it costs less to rent movies to stream individually.
77.
by jmilloy 5y ago
Yes, the streaming movie catalogue today is probably <1% of the DVD catalogue from the AI challenge days.
78.
by jmilloy 5y ago
The Netflix catalogue, and the movie rental/streaming ecosystem in general, was completely different when the AI challenge was going on. It was a DVD postal service. Your ratings mattered, and almost any movie you wanted was available.

These people are routinely winning long distance races on offroad and unpaved surfaces using these tires. That is evidence that the tires are indeed durable, regardless of whether they would prefer other tires.

To summarize the answer to the title question: the problem is not the time but using word "caramelize". Why do recipe writers use the word "caramelize" when they mean "soften" or "brown"? Well, that&#

This is valuable context. Yet, some high profile riders such as Ted King (possible the top gravel racer) and Lael Wilcox (ultra endurance racing and bikepacking) use these tires with success. If someone is getting a lot of flats using the E

by jmilloy 5y ago
This is something that I think a lot of people at overlooking even they reference pro racing: they ride the bikes their sponsors make them ride. And the sponsors have incentives that are not strictly limited to winning.

Yeah, in the mid 40mm range I don't think the air resistance matters, but up above 50, you're starting to make tradeoffs.

I use 30psi on my 35mm and 44mm tires on paved and unpaved surfaces all the time. Have you tried, with a good supple tire? Mine have a max of 65psi!

I haven't had issues with any of my disc brakes overheating, but that sounds like one reason to prefer rim brakes, rim brakes cool better. That's not an issue for a lot of situations, though.

by jmilloy 5y ago
I think the myth is "all disc brakes are always better than all rim brakes". There are definitely reasons it y situations to prefer disc brakes, especially hydraulic, but also reasons to prefer rim brakes.

by jmilloy 5y ago
Yeah, I guess component quality matters, the condiditions matter, rider style and goals matter. It seems like there are plenty of reasons to prefer disc brakes (especially hydraulic), but plenty of others to prefer rim brakes, depending on

I think folks might be interested to consider some of the other myths and tests in the series, such as: * Titanium is ligther than steel * Fenders slow you down * Stiffer frames are faster * Disc brakes work better than rim brakes * Higher
