Forget about jet engines. This thing probably sounds more like a helicopter at close range! The ironic part of this is that it could actually lead to power supply issues, which can be just as bad…
Luckily you can get this fractal case with sound damping side panels! It probably sounds like a helicopter in a subway tunnel below you with the panels on.
For shits amd giggles, I put a couple of industrial 10W fans in my PC once. That probably still made more noise than this. It also created so much overpressure that I could feel air escaping the tower from every little hole or crack. You could hold a piece of paper to the side of the pc, and see it moving because of the air escaping between the side panel and the main hull.
But if these are normal fans (max maybe 1,5W), then the amount of power drawn will be the same as a couple of hardrives.
I hate to be that guy but I love fun facts. Narwhal horns aren’t actually in the middle of their head, they grow from one side of their skull so I’m not sure they can be classified as a unicorn sadly.
It’s probably just me, but are rouxes and bechamels just like REALLY hard to get right? I fuck em up every time, so I refuse to make cheesey sauces by hand anymore.
Before I started caring about my waistline, I used to make giant batches of home made macaroni and cheese a few times a month. My recipe is simple, but I recognize it’s also probably an abomination when compared to proper techniques, but here’s the thing - it’s easy, forgiving, and it works!
Forgive my lack of measurements. I’m going to try, but I’ve just winged it for years.
3-4 cups of milk in at least a 2qt saucepan. Slowly heat to almost a simmer, stirring to keep the bottom from scorching. As it’s heating, really mix about 1/2 cup milk and a couple fat tablespoons of flour. You want a good amout of flour, but loose enough to still be able to pour. When the milk is starting to ripple, slowly pour in the flour mixture while whisking.
This would technically be the hardest part. Don’t add all the flour mixture yet. Flour thickens the most once it comes to a boil. Mix/whisk in about half, see how thick the mixture gets once it starts to bubble (watch for hot spatters!) When I make it I want like a gravy texture - not runny, not pudding, somewhere in between. Not thick enough? Add more flour mix. Too thick? Add a splash of milk. You just need it to bubble slowly for a couple minutes to achieve it’s full potential.
Once you’ve gotten a decent texture (remember it will thicken a little more after cooling) take it off the heat. Add garlic powder, onion powder, whatever seasoning you want, just be careful with salt until you’ve tasted it with the cheese. Now that you’ve stirred it a bit, add your cheese and let the remaining heat melt it. Depending on if you’re using shredded or cut a block into chunks, you may have to warm it a little on the heat if it gets too cold, but DON’T bring it back to a boil. There’s a risk some cheeses might break if you do. Don’t get it too hot and you should be good.
I fought with making a proper roux too many times. My “nobody knows what I’m doing alone in the kitchen” version was far easier (forgive me real chefs 😉.)
You can buy some sodium citrate off amazon. It’s the emulsifier that makes american cheese and velveeta work, you’ll get a smooth sauce with much better flavor than velveeta. Just google sodium citrate mac n cheese for a recipe, it’s pretty easy to make.
slowly add 1.5 cups milk and vigorously whisk it into the butter and flour mix (slowly is key here too fast and you’ll end up with lumpy sauce)
Once all the milk is added you should have a smooth but thin sauce. Cook your sauce until it reaches a consistency that you want then add your cheese (I add 100-150g of parmesan to this for alfredo or 150g of cheddar for mac and cheese sauce). Remember that the sauce will thicken more once you take it off heat.
Edit: Also spices are on you. Spice it however you like starting with at least some salt since the milk will take some salt away from the cheese.
Make sure you’re whisking while you add the milk. Slowly adding the milk and whisking are the keys to making it smooth. Some people will even just add the milk 1/3 at a time. So add a half cup while whisking, get it integrated, then add another half cup, repeat til all the milk is in.
Some just don’t like garlic or onions. My wife is like that. She will eat live octopus and goat’s brains or other more adventurous stuff but just don’t like garlic or onions. Sometimes I’ve tried to hide it in the food but she notices it. Oh well
Yeah raw garlic is rough. I usually roast it when making hummus. But even then, I found powdered garlic to be the best tasting. And I can never add enough roasted or powdered garlic.
I had a girlfriend that misread a recipe and made a pot of gazpacho with four whole heads of garlic instead of four segments. It was quite spicy, but I loved her and ate it anyway.
No matter how much I showered and brushed my teeth I stank of garlic for the next couple days.
Yet! They do this shit all the fucking time. They will stagger their releases and double dip people. This isn't to say people should pay 50 bucks for a fucking barely touched up game but the pc port thing is probably going to happen in a year or 2.
Oh its fucking stupid but honestly after the whole GTA trilogy thing, would you really want them to touch it up? They have proven they are terrible at it but yeah it being full price is insane.
That touching up got outsourced to a tiny company that had never done anything but mobile games. There were like a dozen people working on that, and what was just a touch up of one game became the trilogy with only like 3 months notice. So as shitty as the end product was, Rockstar fucked them.
Damn. As much as I love and recommend RDR to people who haven’t played it, this is inexcusable. The original release was buggy af too. A full remake with quality of life improvements is what should’ve happened.
I just wanted to make sure people weren’t shitting on the people who worked their asses off thanklessly. Yeah, it sucked, but I can’t blame them. Rockstar is making greedy decisions because they’re too comfortable that we’ll eat whatever bullshit they throw our way.
“See that mountain over there? You can go there now playing on your refrigerator screen! Stay tuned for more exciting updates as we port Skyrim to that old beeper you still have in your junk drawer for some reason.”
I don’t exactly condone it either, I enthusiastically embrace and encourage it. It is always morally correct to refuse to reward unethical and predatory businesses practices.
Support the ones doing it the right way, though.
(I know that part of your comment might be as sarcastic as the rest, but fuck it, might as well spell it out for the cheap seats 🤷)
GTAV has had quite a bit of polish, comparatively. Of course, I’m sure that if they weren’t mostly doing it to keep GTA Online looking vaguely fresh it would still look like a PS3 game.
I’m trying to think of any recipe that already includes cheese where more cheese is a bad thing.
The closest I can get is desserts that use things like mascarpone, where if you add extra the filling doesn’t pipe well, and you could just increase the recipe and pipe five gallons into your mouth once you are done with the desserts you’ll serve.
Not that anyone would do such a thing on purpose. But, you know, you add a little too much of one thing, you try to correct and add too much of another, and an hour later the dessert is perfect, but you’re laying on the floor crying because you have a stomach ache and are covered in filling.
I mean didn't they just add the pve? Yes they horrifically downscaled it and its honestly insulting gamer were sold a premise but were given a downgraded game especially after they killed the original one. I just think its a bit disingenuous to say it has no PVE, when its there but pretty bad.
Do pve missions from the first game still available? I don’t follow it much.
I think one part that people are outrage about OW2 are those PvE DLC contents with $15, but yeah, it come with coins that worth the battle pass. So, actually it’s kinda cheaper.
Your point was it doesn't have PVE. I'm not here to defend their shit PVE* and I even make a point to say it is fucking scummy they killed their OG game for this garbage but lets at least deal with facts right now. They have a PVE you have to pay 15 bucks for (and you don't even get to play the ones from the original game for some stupid reason)
You start with a really good cup of coffee but are then offered the best coffee. So they take your really good coffee that you already paid for and toss it out, break the machine that makes the really good coffee and then serves you garbage coffee in a slightly smaller cup and then spits in it.
Yes, a 13 year old game getting a crappy port job to last gen consoles and being sold for $50 is awesome.
And yes, the unpolished Diablo 4, with less content than a plain cheese sandwich, is awesome.
And yes, OW2 replacing the original entirely with the promise of a fully fledged PvE mode, but instead delivering the same type of simple PvE missions they already had in OW1, is totally awesome. /s
