Don’t forget that the valuable peanut oil is separated hydraulically which fractures the peanut meal, and then they add back cheaper soybean oil.

(Side note: That’s why it separates, and that’s why even organic peanut butter separates, it’s because it’s been hydraulically fractured)

In my opinion, the only peanut butter that is worth a damn is fresh crushed from unsalted roasted peanuts.

It’s one of the worst kind of inequality which women don’t (or rarely) ever examine and question if it’s compatible with modern ideas

Krudler ,

I agree and that’s still poison.

The idea that when something growling outside the cave has everybody shaking inside, it’s the guy’s job to get a pointed stick and go outside, knees knocking, heart pounding.

This is not compatible with modern life. Especially if the person scrounging around outside is a meth-addled woman, and I happen to go out in uppercut her.

Krudler ,

I knew Reddit went down for a reason.

Krudler ,

As brutal as it is to say, people like that have forfeited any determination on their future once they commit such an antisocial act.

Why is everybody saying slay the spire pioneered the genre when it’s a clone of others?

Krudler ,

The only barber that was ever able to cut my insane hair passed away after an unsuccessful liver transplant and it was at that point I purchased my own professional clippers.

Having bad haircuts my whole life until I found her is literally a point of trauma that I’ve not recovered from and I’m 49 years old now.

Krudler ,

It’s time to ban this person.

Krudler ,

It’s not an easy job being a moderator, no matter how egregious the behavior is, it’s always a difficult decision.

I think though this user has pretty convincingly revealed their underlying motivations, by way of their various posts and their behavior therein.

I was checking the “strength” post in a weird voyeuristic way, just to see the downvotes and look at the squabbling.

Each time I came back, I noticed that they had completely revised the entire post content, along with many of their comments.

The entire thing reeked of bait, trolling, mean-spirited sarcasm… All blended with what seemed to be, at least to me, a very bizarre fixation and fetish-like fascination about a specific topic.

For all the extremely valid criticism Reddit gets, at the very least one of the things they did rock-solid was giving moderators tools to deal with users who were acting in bad faith or outright abusively. For example, they made it extremely easy to automatically filter posts from untrusted new users until they had passed a certain threshold, or other ways to limit their exposure until they had established themselves as part of the community.

I’m not sure how robust, or even what set of tools you have available on this platform.

Whatever you can do to help us participants of this community, I know that I would personally thank you and appreciate it. Sometimes the answer is to ignore these people though, not necessarily bans, because in a way that gives these social deviants what they’re after in the first place.

Krudler ,

I’m not trying to criticize OP

But I have seen this posted over and over again, and I really don’t understand why it is capturing people’s attention.

Another commenter here pointed out that it’s mystical pseudoscience, and it has no relevancy to anything. (Ed: Unless you want to fund future research and how to create undead soldiers /s)

There’s really no mystery to what happens when a human dies or any other creature for that matter, various electrical impulses continue in various ways, then the creature dies.

Krudler ,

I don’t even understand the question, really.

Krudler ,

You are being trolled, this person made a humongous ruckus and pissed everybody off, and insulted everybody, and is acting like he has no idea what’s going on.

If anybody was a candidate to be permanently nuked from the internet, it’s people like the guy you’re responding to.

Krudler ,

It’s more sinister than that, not only did this person go out of their way to be a complete jerk, they spent the whole evening editing their posts and replies, just to provoke conflict.

Krudler ,

The same way you fix a car, first you figure out what’s wrong, then you fix it.

I gave up on DoDonPachi. Same thing, 20 years of just grinding and sticking with it, even did the classic “final final true boss has one hit point and I choke” move.

Now I’m 49, my reactions will never be what they were when I was younger, the dream is over.

Krudler ,

It’s like you didn’t read the article, and are specifically focusing on a one-dimensional argument while you can conveniently ignore the greater issues at play.

Go and read your own comments, in fact go read the article, and please try to come back with some meaningful thoughts.

Is the combined knowledge of humanity safer than it has ever been?

From what I understand, a lot of knowledge was lost following the collapse of the Roman Empire as manuscripts were no longer being copied at the established frequency and information that had lost relevance (for certain jobs etc.) wasn’t being passed down....

Krudler ,

I have a feeling it is all-but-guaranteed that most of the world’s digital knowledge will be erased overnight during the next event such as this one…

Check out the Carrington Event of 1859.

I think we’d be fucked, basically.

What to do with old phones?

I found a few old phones from my family. II cleaned them, installed LineageOS and rooted most of them. On one I installed postmarketOS, one is still stock Android and one is lets say bricked (after installing lineagesos it stay on boot logo for ever, before that I installed lineageos and nethunter on it). One one disk encryption...

TIL about the Crackpot Index, a humorous post for people who claim to have disproved Einstein's theory (math.ucr.edu)

A scientist at the Los Alamos National Laboratory replied to my email with a curt, please don’t waste my time again. The head of the Physics Department at the University of Miami dropped Bob’s research paper like it was radioactive. He receives one of these papers each week, he said. It turns out, there is a whole community...

Krudler ,

String ‘theory’ is mental masturbation for mathematicians.

Hmm… nothing in our model or math makes sense… I know… let’s just jam all the artifacts into a dimension that cannot be measured. Ahhh… look how elegant it is!

Krudler ,

The hilarious thing about the crackpot index is that almost ALL of it applies to credible physicists.

Physics is in a really dirty place right now, where fundamental “truths” are exploding before our eyes and the “religion” of established physics has become inertial to real growth.

We still have people who will not accept that deep at it’s core, SR is broken and QM has torn off the mask of illusion. We have new JWST data that shows the Big Bang probably never happened and the universe isn’t expanding the way it has been previously thought.

Physics is in a sad place right now with people talking about multiverses and other abhorrent mystical nonsense. Oh, we can’t currently probe at sufficiently low resolution / high energy… that means it must be magic /s

Krudler ,

Oh no, it seems to predict everything perfectly.

You just have to accept that the known universe is actually a 5D holographic projection on a the inner curve of a 7D frisbee that is floats through an unbounded, dimensionless 11D space that can somehow also expand.

Edit: also that there are infinity solutions to every problem. So tidy and elegant 😌

Krudler ,

I’m not going to try to talk out my ass here, but years ago I dated a gastroenterologist, and one of the conversations we had centered around suicide attempts from people shooting themselves in the stomach.

She said that was the quickest way to not die, but to ensure that you will spend the rest of your life receiving regular medical care and you’ll never shit or piss normally again. Her message in that conversation to me was that the chances of dying by shooting/stabbing yourself in the gut are very low, but that doesn’t mean it’s consequence-free!

As a kid, we used to go along the train tracks and pick up pieces of coal that tumbled out of the cars.

Coal heating was very common especially in the more remote regions of my area, until the late '70s.

I made the tortillas with Maseca corn flour, salt, sugar, water and canola oil.

A few years ago I learned that letting the dough ball rest for 20 minutes before pressing helps a lot.

Krudler OP ,

Yes, yes I would.

Krudler OP ,

It was tasty, I just thought it did not produce sufficient flavor for what I expected with all that extra surface area.

I feel like simply parboiling quartered potatoes and roasting them with beef fat is a little bit better “return on investment”.

I enjoyed making it. I love trying different things even if they aren’t what I hope.

Krudler OP ,

There was no struggling, and they turned out perfect, they just were not worth the effort invested for the flavor return.

Krudler OP , (edited )

Been a home cook for a long time and I make everything from scratch so thank you very much for that :)

Yes freehand cuts. I think it’s just doing it a million preps, my tools are el cheapo $5 German steel knives and I use a metal wheel quick sharpener and a pro hone. I’m a bit of a sinner lol

I don’t have time to fuss, and I’ll just throw out my knife and get a new one every 3 years

Krudler OP ,

I think in a general sense most dishes are worth the effort!

When I use that expression here, I mean that I feel that I can develop substantially better flavor using much simpler methods that take less time, less cleanup, less cooking, more agreeable/consistent texture, and so forth.

I was a little bit dubious of the hype I read surrounding this particular preparation, and I feel that in the end that skepticism was justified.

Krudler OP , (edited )

I would never make this again.

I mean, I could tell based on my understanding of physics and cooking that it was not going to turn out as one would hope.

But I plowed through and made it anyways. In the end, every single concern I had about this preparation rang true.

I knew going in that it couldn’t possibly cook consistently because the bottom would be a solid mass and the top would be split apart with varying gaps.

I knew that convection would not carry the moisture away from the bottom of the fins but it would desiccate the tops properly. I felt that the tops 1/3 would have crispy delicious skins but the base would have tough leather. I was right.

I knew that both ends would be rock hard and inedible but it had to be that way in order for the thicker parts to absorb enough heat.

I knew that applying an oil to the top was a very delicate game because it would just saturate into a grease pool if it dripped/pooled to the lower part.

I feel like this is a misbegotten recipe. A big series of fanciful ideas that are visually impressive but do not deliver in the taste department. Seems like it’s from a time before cooking science was well understood.

Krudler OP ,

Edit, I had to remove this comment and stop commenting because I’m getting too wound up about cooking lol

Krudler OP , (edited )

Physics prevents this from being cooked anything other than inconsistently.

As the fins rise and spread out, the amount of moisture that can dissipate can be plotted on a curve with the bottom of the potato always representing the least amount of moisture dissipation, and the outer part at the top always having the most.

And it gets more complicated because as the potato curves on each axis it becomes thinner on the edges so there’s a gradient in moisture dissipation there too.

In a practical sense this means that every X, Y, Z point on this potato is cooked different. Some points will be perfect but by definition it means other points will not and cannot be perfect. And other points must be awful.

There is a fundamental flaw in this design, which changing the temperature or cooking duration cannot solve.

Krudler OP ,

I’m sorry but there is nothing hasselback-style about scalloped potatoes.

You are making scalloped potatoes.

This would be like saying that you make your pizza spaghetti-style but then you just make pizza.

Krudler OP ,

To get a more consistently cooked product, I think the geometry of the surface would need to change or we would need to use a cooking device that could deliver a different amounts of heat energy to different points.

Krudler OP ,

You’re making scalloped potatoes.

Can you not see the irrationality in trying to connect your preparation to this preparation?

It’s just as irrational to say that I made scalloped-potatoes style and ended up with this hassle back. I mean, come on.

Krudler OP ,

Go for it, let me know how it turns out!

Krudler ,

Noooooo…

This looks like a dog’s breakfast.

Krudler ,

Fair, I was being rather hyperbolic.

But this is about as far from “food porn” as it gets - they burned a piece of chicken and melted greasy bagged cheese on it, and air-fried pre-made grease-nuggets.

The salsa looks passable.

Krudler ,

I observe that the meal posted in the photo is also from a restaurant.

So we shouldn’t even feel bad roasting OP for this.

Krudler ,

That is not a bold claim, that is a factual statement from someone that works directly in the field.

Yes, a specific example is being in a men’s session and having one of the female counselors invalidate the males’ experience because “Oh yeah, you should try being a woman in a man’s world”. That is just one tiny incident, but it is revelatory of a series of repugnant biases.

Krudler ,

That’s because it’s basically alcohol in a pill.
