Years ago I really liked rebase, now I never use it. I don't know why, though, one of those mysteries of the brain.

The answer is "no, nobody read the article".

Yeah, it's a stretch. Applying stuff to your body that then cures or hardens is not new but I guess in the past it's always been for molds (sculpture, prosthetics) but in this case the 3 dimensional thing is the direct result, not

What I mean is that I can sharpen my knives (traditional Zwilling or Wuesthofs) on a stone until they are nice and sharp and when I run them along a towel nothing catches. I noticed that when I got a new knife recently it didn't feel s

Interesting - I noticed that the edges of some new knives that are very sharp don't feel or look smooth. I usually sharpen my kitchen knives on a standard stone and get them very smooth, which I like aesthetically but probably not the

I moved from Germany to the US after college 30 years ago. My one regret is not having seen my parents and family as much. Now I only have a few visits left, sobering thought. Going there in a couple weeks though.

No, I have insurance but the cost of old age can still be really steep.

Very true, we've lived in Oregon for 30 years but all my inlaws lived in the Bay Area the whole time. Now that they are ready to cash and move out their property values are a great asset but it's also very painful to pull up your

And I'd say healthcare is the biggest problem. The average price per square foot of housing hasn't gone up as much as people think. The problem is that people want to live in a big house in a specific place. Education is expensive

The comments on the sidebar are interesting - lots of Europeans commenting on salary and tax burden vs. cost of education, retirement and healthcare. I grew up in Germany, enjoyed a free engineering education but moved to US after graduatio

Is it just github? Do other repo-hosting providers support IPv6? Might be a reason to switch for some people.

Yes, surprisingly good. Our neighbor always brings over big paper bags full of Gravenstein and they are great for baking and also drying.

I got curious, I live in Oregon and could grow them but never seen them but it sounds like some people grow Bramleys. Of course there are about 10 million varieties here and probably some similar thing exists, people get very particular abo

I know this is the minority opinion but I buy them sometimes for a change of pace. I like the slightly bitter flavor and the ones I buy are always firm and crisp.

Big fan of Serious Eats but it seems weird he would dismiss the multi-variety approach, I always do this. What doesn't make sense to him (mix of soft and firm) is precisely why you want two varieties. Most serious apple pie recipes sug

I work in the tech industry as well but in a more hands-on division (hp inkjet) and in a small town (Corvallis OR). Here it's the norm to work on your own stuff, build your own structures or fix cars, really mostly for fun and out of p

I think there's a third obvious reason: large teams form later in the maturity of a project. When it's two or three motivated inventors it's easier to be productive and it's also easier to convince yourself and others th

Yeah, my experience as well. Pianos are one of the instruments that don't get better with age so even a top brand instrument will eventually be pretty cheap.

That guy who got into a fistfight with Bach: bassoon player. Just imagine what would have happened if he was a subcontrabassionist.

Yes please, even if there's no need for a final newline just do it.

Ok, sure, but you know what I mean: commercial yeast without lactic acid bacteria.

by zwieback 4y ago
Came here to say that, it's way too sour. Sourdough is okayish when done well but I prefer yeast 100% of the time.

Covid was exceptional but in general I can't see how Google would escape the transition to a traditional corporation tied to stockholder expectations and macroeconomic conditions. This is just reality and whining about snacks and trave

In addition to the ones mentioned above we've also tried powdered milk (cribbed from Salt&Straw, a local favorite) and this thing called "Avacream Ice Cream Stabilizer". That product works great as well but not sure I can

Right, alcohol, sugar and salt all change the hardness of the ice cream but you can only add so much until the flavor isn't what you want anymore. I don't think the ice cream texture is due to the melting point, though, that the p

Sometimes the bouncing DVD logo is better than the movie on the DVD. The Amazon firestick screen saver is also my favorite thing on TV.

Some data to back any of these feelings up would be helpful. Academics are well aware of the difficulties associated with wokeism and are actively working on finding practical solutions. This post feels very 2018.
