In Australia, our supermarket bread almost always has “vegetable oil” in the ingredients. They can’t even be bothered sticking to one type of vegetable oil or listing which ones they use.
Because they use the oil for how it changes the texture, not for the taste. So corn oil is just as good as soy oil is just as good as canola... and they're going to use whatever is cheapest.
I thought I'd share I finally tried this today, on a fairly low end grinder that clumps because of mechanical means, not just static means. After doing a little WDT to break up the larger clumps, I noticed I only had to do a very short WDT before the grounds looked ready. I noticed the shot took about 8 seconds longer than normal before I reached the target weight. Super cool!
edit: to make this slightly more scientific: My spritzing was 0.5g. Hoffmans video seems to indicate his bottle takes four sprays to hit 0.5g, my cheap nasty bottle did it in two sprays. Definitely worth measuring with a 0.1g scale if you're going to try this, as 0.1 appears to reduce chaff on your grinder, but around 0.4 onwards was needed for this brewing outcome
My understanding has been that youtube is more pet project for him, and square mile is what really pays the bills
He's done a video before on what his normal process looks like, and its always had both the water spritz and WDT, so while annoying he didn't clarify, I'd assume he's still doing WDT in these results.
My completely unscientific guess is its possible that WDT is redundant or solving a different problem, given WDT wouldn't be breaking up much of the static charges between smaller particles, just mechanically separating larger clumps that are visible to the naked eye. Still very keen to see someone rule it in or out because I personally loath WDT first thing in the morning
I thought I had been once, and got a very scary email that came from my own domain, claiming to have gotten into my things, and I fully assumed it was the VPS that got hacked. After calming down and raiding the shit out of everything I realized it was just plain old domain spoofing. Both disappointing and terrifying at the same time!
this broke me the other day. I've always defended spotify through all their shitty decisions, but lately they've had a very take-it-or-leave-it approach to their key features.
The answer given by support is literally "we removed it for no reason, we might do something else later". How on earth did that pass their internal processes?
Did the friend park the car out the front of his house, with a license plate that would have been shared by the sister? In the suburbs you don’t need to be overly precise, do a drive by and stop at the house with the car?
I lost my absolute mind this morning trying to figure this out. Dual wan and neither working. Got a few hours into the work day and ended up digging out an old WRT router just to get some work done. I saw a bunch of kernel panics and assumed the router finally gave up a the ghost after all these years. I guess I can go fish it back out of the bin
> I think my history with software make me subconsciously better able to formulate a question for Siri in a way that produces an answer other than "I found some web results...".
Hah, very much the same. My partner will always end up asking me to ask siri to ask something because my slightly differently worded requests tend to succeed more often
It's topic drift, but this is a great example of a scenario that I think is interesting: the apparent existence of a skill that you cannot articulate.
Usually, if you're better than someone else at something, there are things you KNOW you are doing differently, and you can give pointers/instruction, right? In my bar-going youth I was a better than average pool player, but I could also help YOU with YOUR pool game by showing you what I was doing, right?
But sometimes these things exist at an unconscious level. The main example of this in my life is animal interaction, which I am pretty sure is due to countless inarticulateness lessons I learned from my dad, and by working with him at his veterinary clinic in high school.
I have joked for decades that I simply inherited the Kindly Veterinarian Vibe, because while I definitely CAN tell you simple things to do if you have trouble connecting with a dog or cat, but I can't transfer everything because I don't even know everything that I'm doing. A huge chunk of it is understanding the animal body language, and it seems like lots of people just suck at that, e.g.
There was a project a few years ago called BabelPod that would take line-in (or any audio source really) on a raspberry pi and it would send it to airplay speakers, effectively making a janky wireless aux cord for record players and such.
I tried setting it up the other day after seeing a fork that has addressed some of the isuses, but I only had about 2 hours to try getting it working before giving up.
For those interested, just keep in mind the chances of it working are pretty low without some debugging, and most people run into issues with it
I’ll take the home bread
