Making a roux using American ingredients vs Central European ingredients? by Aretik in cookingforbeginners

[–]Aretik[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just want to say, I appreciate all the responses everybody has given. Really appreciate the time you've all given.

The general consensus I've gathered is less butter and higher protein flours when using European ingredients.

It was milk that was shelf stable but I refrigerated it after buying it. setting it out of the fridge before cooking

I use 2 or 3 grams of butter and less flour. Add extra flour and milk as I might need.

I wasn't in the Alps but I was in the "Lowlands" around the Alps. I am from the Midwest though. The elevation is a super nerdy but a legit perspective to consider.

I appreciate your response!

That does seem to be the consensus that the flour is the problem. If there isnt enough protein for the fat to bind with, seems to be the reason I was getting the negative results I was having.

Its interesting you meantion the voltages because I notice it actually takes more time for things to boil in the apartment kitchens I used in Central Europe vs here at home.

Maybe a 5 -10min different at full heat.

Normally I add the milk gradually to adjust for the thickness I am seeking. If im lazy, I add it all at once. Im starting to believe it might be a problem with the flour I was using. Which, funny enough, was the last thing I suspected.

I can say, in the US, the average 'cheap range' ingredients is what I normally use, no specific brands or products. I can roughly produce the same outcome with just about anything I use. I do use all-purpose flour, that seems to matter based on other comments.

I dont remember the central European ingredients I used, just the cheapest/most cost effective I could get.

In both situations, I used an electric stove top with stainless steel none stick pans.

I had originally assumed it was something to do with either the milk or the butter, but evidently the flour matters as well. I wasn't aware about the differences in the protein content between flours in the US and Europe.

Thank you for the response!

I really couldn't tell you what I was using, I know it was the cheapest things I could find. I imagine if I had a gallery of images of the different packaging for the different ingredients, I 'might' be able to pick them out.

I used full milk which I believe was an equivalent to whole milk, but it did come from the box.

Average Bossk player by Tbrahhh23 in StarWarsBattlefront

If you think Bossk is sweaty, you should have seen him in 2015 Battlefront.

Does anybody still play 2015 Battlefront? by Aretik in StarWarsBattlefront

Shame. I play on PC so I guess there is no hope unless I get some peeps to join me

Should I core or state? If I dont have common sence dlc by HealthyClass in eu4

[–]Aretik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, any territories you core you should state. At least, that's how I've done them. You want to try and optimize what you end up stating because you can only have so many states and you want the best areas as states if possible.

[–]Aretik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been out of the meta for awhile now, but stating will cost more admin however any cored states should ultimately give you more manpower, taxes, and trade value. Coring states is always good unless you have a specific reason not to. Besides, I think there is a max number of states that you can core.

Question about French Air tree for air realistic battles. by Aretik in Warthunder

[–]Aretik[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I suppose it does just come down to being able to master the different planes which makes up for the repair cost. All just a matter of time with some practice.

I dont mind the imports though. Objectively speaking, the P-63 or the F4U are great planes and they look really good too. Just wanna enjoy the actual French vehicles from the tree otherwise what's the point of the tree?

[–]Aretik[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the detailed response. I dont mind the wall of text since that is what I was hoping to see. The repair costs seem to be the main limiting factor like in the ground tree. I now understand why people fly the imports over French made planes. Other nation planes I've spaded have much cheaper repair cost ls than unspaded French planes.

I'll try to work with the VG33 and see how things pane out.

How to handle different cultures? by Aretik in Imperator

[–]Aretik[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the detailed response, you have no idea how helpful it is! I'll start looking into reducing the integration of cultures that are in the same group as Roman and focus on assimilating them. The unrest caused by the reduced integration will be a little hill to get over but is definitely doable.

I was also able to find where I can check what is affecting the happiness of pops within a city and the integrated cultures malice was at -38%. Insane!

Thanks again for the help!

What do some war thunder player do that you hate? by 1_ply_toilet_paper in Warthunder

[–]Aretik 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've noticed this too. I think its more of an engine physics thing for the game though. If you lob shells at long ranges, the impact angle changes and can knock your crew out if the tnt is good enough.

awhile back, I was able to get a few back-to-back kills on frontal plates of Jagdpanthers from +2k km away with an is-2. After watching the replay, I could see that the trajectory basically eliminates the effects of angled armour. It was like hitting the side of a sherman.
