Did you also know there’s no talking crab in the original story by Hans Christian Andersen? Since we’re being faithful to the original.

How do you transfer the food from the cutting board to the measuring cup?
- Comment on Why do Americans measure everything in cups? 7 months ago:
You keep saying that, but it’s not an extra step. Weighing the food is in place of the volume measurement, not in addition.
Using volume measurement: start cutting broccoli. Add to a measuring cup until you get the right amount.
Using weight measurement: cut broccoli. Add to scale until you have the right amount (actually I would usually weigh out a single large piece, then chop it all at once - same amount of effort).
- Comment on Why do Americans measure everything in cups? 7 months ago:
Or you place your bowl etc. on the scale and tare after each addition. Doesn’t work in all situations (e.g. pan on the stove) but is great for baking.
- Comment on Why do Americans measure everything in cups? 7 months ago:
If your cup measurements are not the same you need new measuring cups.

In the US, sticks of butter have tablespoon measurements printed on the label, like this: www.errenskitchen.com/…/butter-sticks.jpg
Most people leave the sticks of butter in the fridge with the labels on. If you want X tablespoons of butter, you cut through the label and butter at the right mark.
I’m not saying it’s an ideal system (I also prefer recipes that use weights) but it works.
- Comment on Do bike tires increase pressure in summerm 8 months ago:
Just a small note: the pressures in this chart are absolute, not gauge. In everyday usage (like talking about tire pressure) we mean gauge pressure - that is, the difference in pressure from atmospheric pressure.
Your overall point is well taken (the change in temperature doesn’t matter much), but the numbers will be slightly different. For example, a tire filled to 100 psig (gauge) will reach 106.496 psig at 100 deg F, versus 105.663 in the original chart (assuming 14.7 psia atmospheric pressure).

I can’t tell if these crypto people (comparing the energy use of banking to Bitcoin) are dumb, or if they think everyone else is.

Does your client allow sorting by controversial/score/down votes? I haven’t seen that option, which on one hand I’m happy for (one of my self-destructive reddit habits) but is also sometimes is so satisfying.
- Comment on Six months after the initial reddit surge (graphs) 10 months ago:
The most intuitive analogy to federation to me is email. You may have an account with one provider (gmail.com in the example of email, or lemmy.world in the example of Lemmy) but you can send emails to other providers (email example) or post messages to other instances (Lemmy).
Just like with email providers, a Lemmy instance may decide not to allow communication with another instance - this is “defederation.” Instances that allow communication are “federated.”
Just like email, you don’t normally need to worry much about whether you are on the same instance as a particular community or user - it just works.
This is a simplification, but for me is a good working model.

No, you need to include the height of the cylinder (a). Imagine a deep dish pizza (big a) versus a thin crust (small a) - the sides of the deep dish pizza have more area. Your formula returns the circumference of the pizza.
If you’re interested in dimensional analysis (and why wouldn’t you be?) the formula you proposed doesn’t have enough length units. It would return a value of length (like inches, or cm) not area (like square inches or square cm).
- Comment on The more you know 10 months ago:
Sorry, the surface area of the “vertical” side of the crust, not including the top or bottom surfaces.
- Comment on The more you know 10 months ago:
That would be the surface area of the crust, not the volume

- Comment on Gigantic Wave in Pacific Ocean Was Most Extreme 'Rogue Wave' on Record 11 months ago:
The article is careful to say “most extreme” wave, not biggest. They’re defining that as the wave’s height in comparison to the other waves around it.
“Scientists define a rogue wave as any wave more than twice the height of the waves surrounding it. The Draupner wave, for instance, was 25.6 meters tall, while its neighbors were only 12 meters tall.
In comparison, the Ucluelet wave was nearly three times the size of its peers.
“Proportionally, the Ucluelet wave is likely the most extreme rogue wave ever recorded,” physicist Johannes Gemmrich from the University of Victoria in 2022.”

- Comment on maybe I should have racked my cider 1 year ago:
I think that’s fine for primary. I might rack off of secondary every month or so. Maybe less often after the first time. It’s probably overkill, but I’d hate to ruin another batch.
- Comment on maybe I should have racked my cider 1 year ago:
I’ve ruined more than one batch myself by leaving it too long on the lees - in either primary or secondary.

Like for making PDFs of physical documents? It’s not open source, but the Google Drive app can scan documents. It works fine, in my experience.

I’m using Eternity. When I clicked to open the image by itself the resolution looks fine - it’s just the preview that’s low res. Probably a client issue.

I’ve always liked this plot. Quick note: at least for me, the embedded image isn’t readable due to low resolution.
- Comment on The Planet, some string and a bell. 1 year ago:
Distribute the pi on the right side of your equality, and replace c with pi*d:
c+x = pi*(d+2) pid+x = pid + pi2 x = pi2
To generalize for an height h, x = pi2h

- Comment on Airlock liquid 1 year ago:
Most soap (at least where I am) is not antimicrobial - it cleans by removing germs from surfaces, so it doesn’t seem effective to me being put in an airlock. Not to mention the potential mess during fermentation and potential contamination of your batch.
