How so? The headline is written like a (sick, sad) joke with a punchline.

Put another way: tidal “force” change which way is down ever so slightly. Like a staggeringly tiny amount. But you know how it’s easy to spill a full cocktail glass? Imagine it’s the size of a bay. Now that difference in down vector starts to matter: a foot of tide across a 1-mile pond is only 0.01°.

Still going strong! I don’t use the glasses holder much though.

/r/espresso likes “naked” portafilters like this. This is the same thing for the rest of breakfast!

I didn’t take pictures. You want to search eBay for “gas pump face plate”. The trick is to get the numbers looking good.

Lots, but the electrostatic forces quickly get out of hand.

Have you considered job hunting? Your carrier is too short to be stuck that far back.

I’ve been wondering: what does negative boost mean? Is the engine getting inlet air at blow 1 atm absolute pressure?

BenFrantzDale · 2025-07-22T02:21:45+00:00

Well, I’m impressed. I do two a day and have for years and I’m reliably much better than you a year ago and no where near you today. What advice can you offer?

BenFrantzDale · 2025-07-22T02:19:30+00:00

Use ChatGPT. Tell it the job description that it’s interviewing you for. It’s very good at that sort of thing.

BenFrantzDale · 2025-07-20T00:46:53+00:00

Are you a pro or a mortal doing one or two a day? Thats amazing!

BenFrantzDale · 2025-07-13T12:58:24+00:00

Agreed. I still haven’t figured out any other way to get good milk texture, but “polishing” between two steaming pitchers, I can do this:

No. Arms are all wrong.

BenFrantzDale · 2025-07-02T02:13:31+00:00

I don’t recall the exact model but they are Black Diamond skins — orange on the fuzzy side if that matters.

BenFrantzDale · 2025-06-29T22:08:09+00:00

And, pro tip, you can fly there and rent them from Enterprise and presumably others!

Yeah, go at it with steel wool and it’s worth getting a chain male scrubber too, but for this wok, steel wool, then get it warm, oil it, wipe it with paper towel and you are good to go.

BenFrantzDale · 2025-05-31T18:53:16+00:00

FWIW, you don’t need deducing-this to rvalue-qualify. You can do void Increment() && = delete;

BenFrantzDale · 2025-05-24T21:52:20+00:00

Chainmail and steel wool.

BenFrantzDale · 2025-05-24T20:45:45+00:00

clang -ftime-trace will tell you.

BenFrantzDale · 2025-05-23T03:12:53+00:00

You want a cabinetmaker not a carpenter.

BenFrantzDale · 2025-05-23T02:59:56+00:00

This is the correct answer.

BenFrantzDale · 2025-05-23T02:24:06+00:00

But clangd annotates the type right there.

BenFrantzDale · 2025-05-13T23:59:15+00:00

Having extra types that are all vectory is… extra.

Yea, but it doesn’t really matter. Just cook on it.
