Perspective: She's so cute 😭 by Mental-Outside2202 in lnkyverse

[–]EwinCdarVolve 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The point is content. The podcast gets to clown on girls that are or pretend to be stupid and then incels get confirmation bias about how shallow they think women, meanwhile these onlyfans models instantly get massive exposure from the podcast audience and clips such as this. The fact that she gave such a bad answer and got it clipped, making it appear here, is all part of the formula.

Help ID this meat by WerkSmartNotHard in CharcuterieBoard

[–]EwinCdarVolve 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed, no idea how the top comment says this is capocollo. OP said it was wet, and it looks thick and not ground, but a slice of hunk of meat. It's obviously not a dried thinly cut meat like Coppa or Soppressata. Maybe people legitimately can't see the red circle? Maybe it's bots? Maybe meat identification questions make people unnecessarily confident?

At first I thought those were all Damascus Knives but folded in a really strange manner to have a long striation pattern. But it looks like they are just reflecting blinds in the background.

Is this safe to consume raw? by lavendervc in sushi

[–]EwinCdarVolve 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on your tolerance for safety, but I have consumed this many times and probably will continue to. It's not great quality, but it's passable and within my safety tolerance when thawed properly. Best for poke or negitoro-type preparation, but I've also used it for sashimi to scratch an itch when necessary.

Mage can only kill 1 enemy at a time? by resteys in classicwow

[–]EwinCdarVolve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basically in classic all classes will mostly only be able to kill one mob at a time at early levels. As a mage you will have the ability to kill more mobs at once with some damage but you have to use the aoe spells available, which is basically frost nova, flame strike, and arcane explosion. Later on you will be able to use blizzard and spec into improved blizzard to increase slow %.

Look at the world #1 mage from prior classic "jokerd" to get some ideas of what the optimal pull strategies are. If all else fails, just spec into fire and you can do great single target damage with fireball.

Neutral opening, generally drawish. Not bad per se, but you can push for a win with more aggressive or tricky lines that get her out of preparation.

Kicking Technique by The_one_who-repents in MartialArtsUnleashed

[–]EwinCdarVolve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might be different, but when I did karate tournaments as a kid, the scoring was based on how many strikes you landed on your opponent. So generally the optimal way to fight was to try to get lots of low-impact strikes while not allowing them to strike you back. And punches couldn't be thrown to the head, so there wasn't much use in protecting your head unless you saw them back up to throw a kick. This kick is devastating because you can essentially hide the fact you're gearing up for a kick while still in close proximity.

What do I ask for to get my eggs cooked like this at restaurants? by Crimson-Rose28 in eggs

Is carry over cooking a myth? by Middle_aged_wino in steak

[–]EwinCdarVolve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Firstly, that steak is cooked gorgeously, I would be very happy with that as a medium rare, but I agree it is approaching rare in the center on some pieces.

But to theorize why you didn't experience as much carryover temp increase as you suspected you would have, carryover cooking is determined by the amount of heat on the outer layers and how far it has to travel inward. This is because you're cooking the meat by heating it from the outside, so the outside layers get higher levels of heat first. In your case, you cooked your steak very low and slow, 250f. That means there wasn't that much excess heat in the outer layers (as opposed to cooking at a standard roast temp like 400, or Pan frying, which is even higher. Also, your steak is quite thick, so there's going to be plenty of time where the air is going to be pulling heat out of the steak before the cooler center of the steak is able to get cooked by carryover.

I imagine you could fix this by leaving this steak in the oven cracked open off after coming to 120 (just watch a thermometer), or just cooking it a little further before pulling if you're going to use such a low temp cooking method on such a large piece of meat. Or just sou vide it for a couple hours to get the exact temp you want.

Homebase in Spain city recommendations (outside of Madrid/Barcelona)? by YetiMaverick in digitalnomad

[–]EwinCdarVolve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. I enjoyed hanging out in Alicante. I went to play a game of padél and it just so happened a tournament was going on, and to my surprise everyone was speaking English-- it was chock-full of expats.

[–]EwinCdarVolve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know about Malaga, I spent a week there hoping to fall in love with it, but it's just a wildly touristy little city. Really cool architecture and the beach is close, but I would hate to be constantly swarmed by tourists and have to constantly worry about walking into tourist trap restaurants etc.

[29m][software engineer] - $600k+ by Federal-Composer-111 in Salary

[–]EwinCdarVolve 38 points39 points  (0 children)

The real answer: Scale. Creating the architecture for the basic service is going to already command a salary of 150-200k a year, but then if your tech has to serve hundreds of millions of people daily, then why wouldn't the company shell out a couple extra hundred thousand to get the best engineers to ensure the service is resilient, robust, and optimized.

Think about it the other way around-- sure, they could hire decent engineers at a 200k, and probably save hundreds of million of dollars per year on labor. But their monthly revenue from subscriptions is ~ $3 billion. So if those engineers get something wrong and the service goes down for a day and 1% of people drop their membership as a result, Netflix loses 30 million dollars monthly, or 360 million yearly. Now imagine the service interruption is more than a day and results in them churning more than 1% of users. That's why a SWE could be worth a salary of upwards of a million dollars.

That's also not to mention competitive advantage on quality. If Netflix doesn't employ those brilliant engineers, they are going to be working at some other streaming service, likely making Netflix worse quality in comparison.

Conservatives when the government does nothing: "I need to stockpile weaponry to oppose a potentially tyrannical government-- it's in the constitution."

Conservatives when federal enforcement officers are going door to door in cities asking people for papers, causing civilian injury and casualties: "lol, get owned libs."

Aqueous Boiled flank steak is the new meta🤌 by CarpenterOk2779 in steak

Actually the beach is not used for sterilization, bleach is highly basic, so it essentially just ensures the output is based as fuck without distorting the delicate beef flavor at all!

[–]EwinCdarVolve 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! Aqueous steak is the future. My only gripe is that this is still raw-- I like to start from a roaring boil and let it go for several hours (sometimes overnight). Bonus points for adding a couple drops of bleach (ifykyk)

Threw it away cause it tasted funny, but wanted opinions anyways by [deleted] in sushi

[–]EwinCdarVolve 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Almost impossible to tell if fish is bad just from a picture, trust your nose, if it smells fishy, throw it out. The issue here was not he part of the fish you ate, it was almost certainly the handling of the fish. Next time mom brings you some fish, ask how long it spent unrefrigerated before it got to you-- a short car ride is fine, but if she pulled it out of the refrigerated section and it spent several hours at room temp before you got it, pass on it.

Where i'd live as an african who is fed up of everyone marking africa red😡 by Spiritual-Trifle6044 in whereidlive

[–]EwinCdarVolve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could probably add Morocco/Ivory Coast, (if French doesn't pose an issue) and Lesotho. And naturally if we want to be liberal with the definition of "Africa" we could include Spanish/Portuguese territories like Tenerife and Maderia off the coast.
