Wintergatan has a lot of good engineering videos.

Oh god it’s happening here too

It’s easy to fall into the trap where you convince yourself it will be this way forever. But that’s usually not true.

Feels like there are too many hard chargers these days

I have a good used car worth of money tied up in my espresso stuff just so I can judge harder.

Imagine not working and still being able to survive.

Looks like you could have gone quite a bit hotter for the sear. I use Alton Browns method on a skillet. Leave it on high for 10 minutes. Should be hot enough to evaporate a teaspoon of water in seconds. Lightly oil the steaks with peanut oil. Then sear each side for 45 seconds. It will set off the smoke alarm, though, if your stove vent isn’t great.

Couldn’t we just troll them with Tiananmen Square info and stuff that China forbids them knowing?

He’ll figure it out…eventually.

My right leaning friend just found out what really happened January 6th a month ago…

Interesting. For reference, I use more than that most months, but I live in Texas and it is very very hot.

The privatization/defunding/enshittification of public services in favor of alternatively paying directly to large corporations, typically offering less value, will eventually lead to the workforce not being able to complete globally. You’d think that would be enough for them to be smart enough not to do that, but instead, they will just outsource the jobs to elsewhere.

2000kwh a YEAR? Do you live in 70° weather year around and have all gas utilities or what?

Jello and marshmallows aren’t vegan for WTF reasons

I’m hoping for him to drain votes from Trump first

They will just double down for a while. Eventually, they will pretend they never supported any of it.

Yeah thinner or cheaper cuts I go with Ramseys method. If I have time, even with the thinner cuts, I’ll salt it and leave it in the fridge for like 8 hours though.

Altons new method for the sear involves leaving an iron pan on the oven for 10 minutes just to heat the pan, 600° if you have an infrared. 45 second sear each side, so that might fix the sear problem if you did want to give it a shot.
