  The first step with bread is grinding the corn. This a basic way to make it edible for the tribe. Have you ever tried to bite on a corn of wheat or rye?

  Mix it with water and cook it to make it softer, and you get a kind of porrige. Leave it warm over night, and you have a sourdough. Rekindle the fire on the next day, and you’ll have a proto bread.

  From there to the white bread made with a dozen chemical stabilizers, acid regulators and raising agents as they are sold in the supermarket is just the result of refining the process.

  Took her quite long to come to the conclusion that X is not worth working for.

  Thanks! I hadn’t noticed!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  We just got an offer for a conglomerate worth €700, that we had put in for €350. The first offer was someone who only wanted some of it (basically all of the good parts, which is 90% of the value), and only offered €100.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ok, I'll pay you the 1995 price⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  So, a white bread is USD0.77?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are some people just unable to become fluent in a foreign language?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Like with any other ability, like painting or playing an instrument, learning a language is something that some people can do better than others.

  And while starting to learn a language as a baby or toddler has it’s advantages (Our kids basically grew up bilingual), I started learning English in school when I was 11, and I still managed to learn it. Yes, native speakers will still tell me that I have an accent, but I’m good enough that they cannot place it, just that it is not native. With only 2-3 weeks a year in the UK, it is probably the closest I can get. Written English is another matter, anyway. I’ve probably read way more English books than the average native speaker…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Grok praises Hitler, gives credit to Musk for removing “woke filters”⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  So, basically, it is more like “normal” Twitter posts since then?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨BREAKING: X CEO Linda Yaccarino Steps Down One Day After Elon Musk’s Grok AI Bot Went Full Hitler⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  What took her so long?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You can only bring back one. Which do you choose?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The only of them that we had in Germany: Toys’r’us.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  This depends on what you are actually looking for, and how you are looking for it.

  Do you really need pattern matching, or do you only look for fixed strings? Then other tools may be faster.

  If you need case independent search on an upper- and lowercase data set, make a copy that is all upper or all lower, and search there.

  If you only search in certain columns, make a copy that only includes these.

  Or import the data into a database.

  Occasionally, humanity sacrifices a wannabe Christian missionary for them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are the chances⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Hey, it could be worse, we could have landed on Carboby-16, which has an 80h workweek.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨US debt is now $37trn – should we be worried?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  With Trump weakening the trust in the dollar and people looking at the Euro as a new reference, the rates at which the US can borrow money is already going up. At 37tn borrowed, even a tiny uptick will cost a fortune or two. Which, unless the conservatives suddenly show fiscal responsibility (which they never did so far), will just increase the deficit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do so many people believe that Tycho Brahe died from a burst bladder, when it's impossible to voluntarily hold it in until your bladder ruptures?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The first thing that comes to mind here are prostata problems or kidney stones. While the ring muscles can’t counter the pressure from a full bladder, the other two can seriously obstruct the urinary tract. In case of a kidney stone, it could even be that sharp crystals support or cause a rupture.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨DIY 4th of July⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  What’s those balls on the plate?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is it called independence Day tomorrow? Shouldn't it be undependents day? At any rate we screwed it up.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Its actually Ungrateful Colonists Insurgence Day.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Alligator Auschwitz⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  There you might be right. Shows that they are to dumb to know the meaning of it.

  “Homo” in the sense of a taxonomy genus is Latin and means human, while the “homo”-prefix from e.g. “homosexual” comes from the Greek “homoi”, meaning same, equal.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is anyone else not feeling that patriotic for July 4?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  4th of July? You mean the Ungrateful Colonists Insurgence Day?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Alligator Auschwitz⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, they probably consider them to belong to the “homo superior” species.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Alligator Auschwitz⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, yes indeed. Remove brown people, enslave black people. That’s the plan.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is anyone else not feeling that patriotic for July 4?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Call for independence from everything GOP and Trump on July 4th?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is this soldered controller repairable by an amateur?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Any chance of identifying the burned-out part on the left? If not, I’d leave this to professionals (repair cafe, maybe). A throw blanket works at mains voltage, so errors might have serious consequences.

  Apart from that, you don’t know what caused that burn, so that cause might still be around, and instantly burn down any repaired board again.

  So my recommendation is: NO.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨cooking question⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You are an adult (mostly), not a child/toddler. Yes, there are sources.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨cooking question⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I was not talking about adults, but children. Especially of toddlers, who put a lot of things into their mouths. There have been confirmed deaths of toddlers from chewing on cigarette butts, but I’m to lazy to dig out references just for your enterteinment.

  Indeed, they are working better on a non-congested rail system.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨🧊🧊👶⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  While punctuality is not the German trains strong point, this is mostly due to congestion and construction sites. The trains as such are remarkably reliable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨🧊🧊👶⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It is way faster than a car, so Americans won’t want it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨cooking question⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Only once. Tobacco is highly poisonous. The tobacco from a cigarette butt kan kill a child.
