I think I see a bit of steam escaping from the pan, so I think they tried to weigh it after cooking

Which makes sense, there’s going to be some weight change after you cook it because of evaporation and such… hence the steam

Before cooking you couldn’t really call it Jollof Rice, it would just be a big pot of the raw ingredients for Jollof Rice

And they know the weight of the ingredients going in already, they’re quoted in the article, so that’s just simple addition to figure out.

Yeah, don’t get me wrong I enjoyed his lectures, it’s just very much not going to be everyone’s cup of tea and certainly not something that would have translated well to a movie

I’m personally very much a fan of both the comic and the movie

The overall plots are largely the same, the comic of course has a little more space to flesh things out.

Which does actually work against it at times, there’s a point where V just kind of goes off on a lecture about anarchy for a couple pages, which is interesting but maybe not the most exciting comic book reading you’ll ever do, and certainly wouldn’t have translated particularly well to the screen, so overall I don’t mind most of the changes they made of

Both the comic and movie are very much a product of their times and places. The comic is very much a reaction to Thatcherism in the UK, the movie more to post-911 Bush-era America.

The movie probably resonates more with me personally, but I’m also a product of that time and place. The comic strikes me as a little more timeless.

Even more appropriately, it’s V for Vendetta

Spoilers, I guess, for a 40 year old comic (the plot in the movie is a bit different)

I know that when police in my area need to destroy evidence that’s no longer needed (and can’t just be disposed of in normal waste streams, or sold or what have you) they normally take it to a local garbage incineration plant.

There was also a steel mill in the area at one point and their furnace was occasionally been put to use for similar purposes (tangential - there was at least one instance I’ve heard of where the US mint used that furnace to dispose of a batch of coins they were testing a new alloy or process or something on)

I’ve seen a couple reports that the ammo they found had anti-fascist and transgender inscribed on them.

If it’s true, that’s not definitive evidence of course, but it wouldn’t be zero evidence either.

It also feels a little too convenient to me after the Luigi thing. It could just be sort of a copycat, or it could be a right wing accelerationist trying to paint that picture.

And I fucking hate that at this point I don’t know which of those two options is more likely.

The type of ice cream definitely makes a difference, more premium brands tend to be a lot stiffer than cheaper brands. And I admittedly tend to buy just some basic vanilla ice cream because I like to go crazy with toppings.

My brain defaults to fahrenheit, and that probably shapes how I look at temperatures a bit, but those temperature differences between our different freezers feels pretty significant to me. In warmer temperatures, for example, that amount of temperature difference could be the difference between shorts & t shirt weather and needing a jacket.

Also, for what it’s worth, my family once acquired a full container of Ben & Jerry’s that would have been served at one of their stores. The instructions on the box were to store it at or below -20f/-29c, and bring it up to 10f/-12c in the serving cabinet.

My fridge freezer is currently set to -2f (about -19c)

My basement freezer doesn’t have a convenient temperature display, and I don’t have a thermometer in it, I’d guess I’m probably at around -10 to -20f (about -23 to -29c) some people go as low as -40f (which is also -40c)

It of course varies a lot depending on where you are but I live in the suburbs, and they’re pretty common around me. Not necessarily an “everyone has one” kind of thing, but definitely something that you know a good handful of people who have them.

https://www.eia.gov/consumption/residential/data/2020/state/pdf/State Appliances.pdf

According to the EIA, about 33% of households overall, state by state it’s as low as 19% in California, and as high as 65% in south dakota. So even in states like California, Nevada, or New Jersey where 94+% of people live in an area that’s considered urban, if you assume 100% of the rural residents have freezers, that’s still about 13% of those city dwellers with a dedicated freezer.

I feel like the biggest deciding factor is probably whether or not you own a house, which is going to have a lot of correlation to being urban/rural. They take up space, so not conducive to apartment living, and they’re kind of a bitch to move so you probably want to make sure you’re going to be able to stay in a house for a while before buying a freezer so that you don’t have to deal with moving it every few years if your landlord jacks up the rent and forces you out.

Do most refrigerators in the world not have a freezer?

Because I’m pretty sure that’s what they mean by “fridge freezer” as opposed to a separate “deep freezer” like a chest or an upright freezer with no refrigerator.

Not sure how common having a separate freezer is in other parts of the world, but it’s fairly common in the US.

I know my basement freezer is really fucking cold, it’s actually kind of painful to handle things I pull out of it sometimes because they’re so cold. The freezer on my fridge upstairs is a bit warmer (still well below freezing of course) I can usually manage to scoop ice cream out of my upstairs freezer without too much trouble, but out of my downstairs freezer it would be kind of like chiseling at a rock with a spoon.

The in-universe science behind Cyclops’ optic blasts have been very inconsistent over the years.

The explanation that I’m personally familiar with is that his eyes themselves are portals to a dimension of pure concussive energy that doesn’t produce heat, and that energy is also conveniently blocked by ruby lenses in his glasses and visor, and also his own body is immune to it.

Which doesn’t really make any sense from a real world physics perspective, but that’s comic books for you.

And of course depending on what timeline/reboot/alternate universe you’re dealing with, who’s writing it, and what’s convenient for the plot, any of that can go right out the window, I’ve definitely seen him melt things and start fires with his blasts in some versions.

I think another explanation that gets used sometimes is that his body absorbs sunlight to power them.

I really hate the term gun show loophole

Maybe the situation and laws are different in other parts of the country, but at every gun show I’ve ever been to all of those people with stands set up selling guns are dealers, so to buy a gun through them you have to go through all the legal hoops as if you were buying from a regular gun store.

I suppose there’s a lot of randos wandering around there who own guns who might be convinced to do a private sale, but that doesn’t really have anything to do with them being at a gun show except it’s a convenient networking opportunity. You could just as easily hang around outside of a shooting range trying to find a private seller.

3d printing is not the default fabrication method now that we’re getting good at it. It just shines in certain applications.

Getting a little theoretical here

With the current state of the technology, 3d printing lags behind some traditional manufacturing techniques like machining and in terms of speed, cost, quality, available materials, etc. except for some relatively niche cases.

However, that gap is closing a bit every day, it may or may not ever catch up completely or surpass the old technique in those aspects

But if it does ever get close, I could very much see 3d printing being a preferred method

Subtractive manufacturing like machining, by design, creates a lot of waste, all of the chips and off cuts that are removed from the stock are either discarded or require additional energy and/or materials to recycle.

And things like injection molding require custom molds that wear out over time, and can be expensive to design and manufacture

And in either case, you’re largely locked into making one thing on an assembly line at a time, and to switch over to a different product you’re probably going to need to switch out a lot of the molds and tooling, recalibrate everything, etc. which can be time consuming.

With 3d printing, you could theoretically use only the amount of material that’s actually in the finished product (if you design it that it doesn’t require any external supports ) you don’t need any custom tooling or mold, just generic, interchangeable nozzles (for FDM, LCD screens or lasers or whatever the equivalent is for other printing technologies) and you could switch production from one item to another by just hitting print on a different file.

Again, we’re not there, may never be there, but it’s a cool thing to think about

I’m not a doctor who fan at all, so as far as I’m concerned the show is dogshit regardless of who the doctor is, but that’s my personal taste, to each their own.

However, from a couple minutes of googling, I’m pretty sure that the most recent doctor was a dude, and the next season with a new (“gender swapped”) doctor hasn’t even aired, or even been given an official release date, so not sure how you can really judge it already. Maybe you don’t like the actress, but I know I’ve been surprised by actors I generally don’t like knocking it out of the park before.

There was another female doctor prior to this most recent one, but again, you’ve had a whole 'nother doctor since then.

So I’m really not too sure what you’re on about their “current attempt.”

You can go way down the rabbit hole here, you can blame Christian European colonial powers, but you can blame the pre-christian Roman empire for opening that door for Christianity to spread into Europe in the first place, you can blame Jews for being the religion that Christianity spun off of, you can blame various other religions and cultures that eventually morphed into Judaism

You can do that all the way back to the first organism that evolved that had a hint of sapience if you really want to

But that would be ridiculous.

That’s all in the past, and while it’s important to understand how we ended up here, we can’t do a damn thing to change any of that.

However here and now, we have groups like family watch international actively fanning the flames and funding this crap.

They’re not the only ones, they’re not all American, but you have your head in the fucking sand if you think America isn’t the biggest piece of this puzzle.

It will of course depend on which place you go to.

I’ve only noticed 2 at this place (but it’s pretty wild how quickly you stop noticing peoples bodies when everyone is naked, so there may have been more,), but one of them is an employee, and another was a performer they had for an event.

The clientele is mostly (but not entirely) middle aged white people, and I’ve seen more than a few trump stickers on peoples vehicles there, but they do have rules about not discussing politics and religion and aren’t afraid to kick people out if they make an ass of themselves, so I haven’t witnessed anyone saying or doing anything transphobic. This place is also fairly popular with swingers and such (behind closed doors, nothing sexual allowed in public) and we’re all a little weird since we like going to nudist resorts, so I think everyone has adopted a pretty “live and let live” attitude towards people with lifestyles that are different than their own.

No shortage of gay, lesbian, bi, pan, etc people though, and there are usually more than a few rainbow flags flying around the campground.

So I can’t really imagine anyone making an issue of it at the place I’ve been going.

There’s also a few nude/clothing-optional resorts out there that cater more specifically to LGBTQ people, so that’s potentially also an option.

Also, weirdly, I feel like in a lot of cases, depending on the state of their transition, it may be harder than you think to tell someone is trans/gender non-conforming there. Can’t exactly base your assumptions about someone’s gender by the clothes they’re wearing after all. Not that people would necessarily assume the right gender, mind you.

It’s not everyone’s thing to be sure, but I started going to a nudist resort largely because of this. I really just wanted a place to go hang out that has a pool that’s not overrun with kids.

It is technically a family resort, not too many people actually show up with kids, but there’s occasionally a few, and while I don’t particularly want to see naked kids (or honestly most of the adults either, nudists are rarely the kinds of people you’d want to see naked,) the parents are obviously keeping an eye on their kids there and keep them under control.

You are correct, should have double-checked that the two PVAs referred to the same thing.

I think the rest of my comment still pretty much stands though, PVA glue isn’t quite water soluble but the cleanup for it isn’t much more involved and doesn’t involve any exotic solvents or anything

It’s around $40 for a spool, I’m not sure what that works out to per square meter of printed board, and I’m far too lazy to work that out.

It also seems to me like it could be a more efficient use of board space since it could be printed closer to the shape of the traces than you’d probably want to trim a board to by hand so you can save on material a bit that way. A bunch of cut corners and notches cut out of a few boards could add up over a few prints.

I’m just spitballing some thoughts, I don’t do nearly enough circuit designing to have a horse in this race, nor the desire to really work out the economics of it but especially for someone who already owns a 3d printer and maybe is already using PVA filament this seems like something that could fit well into their existing workflows.
