Soft-Boiled Eggs: Why Not Just Poach Them?
-
I am hearing a lot of people complain that poaching eggs is hard. This might be generally true. But I am very good at poaching eggs.
-
Also, if you have a microwave, hollandaise sauce is totally within your grasp.
-
@alexhern basically allrecipes.co.uk/recipe/41603/microwave-hollandaise-sauce.aspx - but you can melt the butter in the microwave then add to the same bowl
-
@alexhern it is honestly 5 minutes, and the trickiest bit is separating eggs
-
@glassarmy you don't have the classic soldiers experience, but you can totally dip toast in a poached egg's yolk
-
@glassarmy i hope they're great

default document type for working a thing out
-
@GlitzFog small shallow (ie frying) pan, heat water til it's *almost* boiling (and so is still still), gently crack eggs in, fish out in 3 mins.
-
@jawsew i mean, same, tbh, but also i have a preference when working with the computer
-
default (computer) document type. yes, paper is great. but it doesn't force the same choices...
-
default paper type for working a thing out (yes, this isn't exhaustive, i'm going on what i typically see)
-
@jawsew i bet there are! drawing tool is the closest to "lots of post-it notes" of all of these, and lots of writers work that way.
-
@katbamkapow @jawsew my desk setup involves a stack of A3 sheets between me and the keyboard, with notes and jottings and lists and diagrams on.
-
@GlitzFog egg proteins cook at around 65 degrees, so 80-90 degrees is plenty & doesn't jiggle it (obv, hotter = less time to get to temp)

@deer_ful i think the fakeness is the adding of a plausible artist name that doesn't really map to an ongoing project for the purposes of credibility
-
@deer_ful if these tracks were credited to "Spotify" then they wouldn't be fake. but there's an intent to mislead about the provenance of the tracks.
-
@deer_ful i didn't see the denial - but the accusation is that they were choosing these tracks for these playlists for reasons of reducing payouts
-
@deer_ful i reckon the actual truth is that Spotify has done a deal where they'll license stuff for cheap from producers (who made it for Spotify)
-
@deer_ful producers make the tracks, invent the names, same as any other track (but cheaper). Spotify just puts them on the playlists.
-
@deer_ful while Spotify encouraged them to do all this, they didn't actually do it themselves. but they have reaped the benefits (of appx $3m...)
-
@deer_ful yeah, for sure. murky business, but that's the way it goes, i guess.

@deer_ful i preferred it when i could be happy they finally cracked good algorithmic music recommendations.

@mjmcmaster i keep a plain notebook, but my preferences is always acres of blank paper
-
any platform for game discovery needs to spend 80% of their effort on making it good for players (20% good for devs)
-
this might be a weird take, because itch is the one (small) site that has momentum. but even there, it's great for player experience.
-
the problem is that what devs i know want is a good thing for discovering games for people who aren't that into games. which is obv tricky.
-
platforms for people who love games & play a lot skew towards games you play a lot, pushing out short, unique experiences.
-
i don't have a way of squaring this circle, or else i'd either do it or get someone else to. but it is a hard problem.

earlier i retweeted a @squinkyelo comic page, but she's posted even more and they're all very good.

@JonRemedios why not use cooldowns? (i mean, i assume you have a good reason, just curious as to what it is)

@JonRemedios i guess the thing is giving feedback about relative power due to repeats is harder than giving feedback you can't do again it yet
-
@JonRemedios i would try: halving power on each use, with a power bar that slowly refills over time.
-
@JonRemedios analogous to the scheme behind en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Additive_increase/multiplicative_decrease, if you want some equations for it

@vivschwarz @xDemoli @Monica_ion a lot of power stations can't switch on/ramp up very quickly, so you generally need to generate enough for the spikes
-
@vivschwarz @xDemoli @Monica_ion but there's a bunch of (expensive, limited capacity) ways to smooth them. like pumping water uphill (it turns a generator on the way down)
-
@vivschwarz @xDemoli @Monica_ion or batteries! battery tech is getting a lot better, which enables you to use more renewables (noisy supply & noisy demand)
-
@vivschwarz @xDemoli @Monica_ion and yeah, they do a lot of modelling/prediction of demand, and buy energy in the future (in 15 min blocks)
-
@vivschwarz @xDemoli @Monica_ion and there's some industrial customers (think, like, aluminium refining) which are in a contract that means they lose power in a demand surge
-
@vivschwarz @xDemoli @Monica_ion yeah, spreading it about totally reduces the total (& total capacity) needed.

@vivschwarz @markbradleyart @OliviaMHope @Louiestowell @CarysNelkon i think here it is provisional, then you have to pass theory and test to get license. but theory you can pass in a day or so with a book

Unfairly comparing in my head the trans representation in Ladykiller In A Bind and Dream Daddy.
-
Dream Daddy has a line that Canonly Establishes a character is trans. They thought about ~representation~ and did something about it.
-
Ladykiller has The Boy, excited and nervous to be wearing frilly dresses, and also Canonly an insecure manipulative shitbag.
-
(I 100% loved and pursued scenes with The Boy)
-
Representation, like hitting the Bechdel Test or quotas for panels, is good! But it's a imperfect proxy for an actual better world.
-
All of these things are totally susceptible to being Goodhart's Lawed into uselessness en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goodhart%27s_law
-
They're still good as a thing you can point people who fundamentally Don't Care or Don't Get It at, and shame them into hitting that low bar
-
But please don't mistake them for the world we're striving for.
-
@hoskingc no, they have other traits, and i don't know i'm saying the approach is lacking, really
-
@hoskingc just - the fact that that character is trans reads to me as coming from a thought of "we should have a trans character"
