  • Why are they different shapes?

  • Whoops, didn't realize you were talking about industrial scale. I guess that makes sense, and I would have no idea which type of bread uses cheaper equipment.

  • Making bread on a flat surface allows you to minimize costs of entry (not only don't you need the forms which are relatively cheap, you can go with simpler/cheaper ovens), and this kind of bread has a more pronounced crust, which many people like.

    Crusts like this generally require a lot of steam in the oven, and steam ovens are usually much more expensive than non-steam ovens.

    If you want a homemade loaf that can actually produce the type of bubbly crust you expect in certain types of European style breads, you'll have to trap a lot of steam where you're baking it, often by containing it in a Dutch oven.

    And shaping/forming a loaf that stays tall when being baked on a flat surface takes skill, lots of practice and experience.

  • How the regime in Iran jams Starlink and what people could do

    Jump

  • You'd never get Kessler syndrome at Starlink altitudes.

    Starlink satellites orbit at around 550km, and get dragged by the little bit of atmosphere that is at that altitude. Each collision might make more debris, but the conservation of momentum means that any debris that gets kicked to a lower orbit will probably burn up on the atmosphere while any debris that gets kicked to a higher altitude will be smaller mass and therefore cause less damage on the next collision after that.

    Collisions can still happen, but the runaway conditions where debris begets debris won't happen at those orbital velocities and altitude.

  • Weight Loss drugs could save airlines $580 million a year in fuel costs - Dexerto

  • Because the overhead of weighing passengers and their luggage for every flight would completely wreck the logistics and make it both unpleasant to fly and unprofitable to operate.

  • No, the drug changes the habits. It quiets down food noise in the brain (not always thinking about food), and shifts people's tastes/preferences in food. It doesn't change how the body processes food, it changes how the brain wants food. So the habits change pretty quickly.

  • What are the fastest moving objects with some mass in everyday life?

    Jump

  • The crack of a bullwhip is caused by the tip exceeding the speed of sound, around 750 mph/1250 kph.

  • Excuse me while I make my cold brew..

    Jump

  • I weigh my coffee/water to keep the brew ratio the same

    Yeah, I developed my current routine by weighing, but because I use literally the same containers every morning I can eyeball the amount of beans or water in those containers and know that I'm basically at the ratio I used to measure. Maybe tomorrow I'll eyeball it, and then measure, to confirm I'm still calibrated at the right level.

  • That's why I love cooking communities. A lot of things really do just boil down to technique, and a substantial amount of the equipment necessary is commodity grade where almost any brand performs the same.

    1. Don't feed wild animals. For this rule, the particular type of food doesn't matter. Wild animals are harmed from human feeding, even if the food is nutritionally beneficial to them.
    2. Bread spoils fast, and spoiled foods in the environment can make a lot of animals sick.
    3. Bread doesn't contain the nutrients that many birds need, so birds (especially young birds) that eat too much bread at the expense of not eating other foods might become unhealthy from deficiencies on other fronts.

    I point out these three distinct reasons because the overall points being made don't make it OK to feed wild ducks peas or whatever else. For farmed animals, though, farmers will want the overall nutritional profile to meet some standard, at which point old bread and other scraps could very well be part of a broader diet, in a way that manages household waste.

  • What events do you think would make it into the song We Didn't Start the Fire if it was extended into today?

  • Yeah that's probably true of all Fallout Boy songs generally.

  • I can believe that Korean food has gotten spicier in the last 30 years, but I think it's worth noting that Korean food was already plenty spicy before any of those financial crises, much more so than Japanese food, and all but a few specific Chinese regions.

  • What are some unique things that sucks about getting old?

    Jump

  • Making sure not to bring that energy everywhere takes a bit of practice.

    I remember an interview of Quincy Jones where he was just shit talking popular music of that time (maybe early 2010s), and ran through a bunch of examples, basically explaining where every musical element (particular chord progressions, instrumental combinations, beats/rhythms, etc.) that made it into whatever current popular song, was first pioneered by some recording artist he had worked with in some earlier decade.

    He obviously knew a ton about music, from classical to jazz to pop to hip hop to country, but it was an interesting glimpse into the mind of a person who was basically saying "I've realized there's nothing new to me anymore."

  • If you don't make a conscious effort and invest time into creating new friendships (with considerable difficulty since you yourself are tied to "adult" obligations), you can end up alone with withered social skills before you realize it.

    One of the things I did when I was in my 20's and 30's that I'm really glad I did, was to always be willing to relocate. I did it about 5 times for new jobs, once for a new school, and twice for a romantic relationship (including with the woman I ended up marrying). I made new friends in each city, and kept those "new friendship" social skills over time. Now I've settled into a specific place with my family, but I have friends all over the U.S., know a little bit about a lot of cities and their neighborhoods and the local culture, and perhaps most importantly, know what I'm looking for in friendships and relationships.

    I made new friends in my 30's because I absolutely had to, living in a city where I only knew one other person. And now I'm still making new friends occasionally in my 40's because I like to: colleagues and neighbors and fellow parents from my kids' schools, etc.
