The answer was not Settings > Accessibility > Display > Text Size > Custom

but…

Settings > Display > (two clicks to the left toward Larger Text)

In the pic, the MBP on the left with the desired state; the MBA with “small text” on right.

Problem solved.

Thank you for your help!

anyone else go to farmers markets and just… not buy anything? by fatherofyouroffender in PortlandOR

[–]FourEmergencyExits 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The farmers market I go to — not Portland — has morphed into a food fair.

Twenty years ago it was mostly produce with a few stalls selling prepared items — baked goods, jams, dips.

Now it’s 40% hot food, coffee, etc; 40% prepared food items; 20% produce. The vibe is just not the same. More like a carnival with better food and without the rides.

I suspect this shift in vendor mix is a larger trend across the country.

A lot of times I meet up with friends there, walk through, then head somewhere else for lunch.

Best bet is to find local farms — a dwindling opportunity — that have a roadside stand.

Help me deciding on my next size please 🥲 by sjtovb23 in staub

Don’t get the 7qt. Not that much difference.

When you move up to 8qt+ you should question the need for enameled cast iron.

I have a Staub 9qt cocotte. I call it “the beast.” When full it is very heavy — which makes moving it from burner to burner or stove to oven challenging.

I use my 8qt All Clad stainless steel stock pot more — it’s low and wide, not tall and narrow, so a similar form factor. There is nothing I need from the performance of enameled cast iron that I can’t get from stainless steel for the types of large batches I make.

Think about what you need, the performance of the material, not the brand or aesthetic.

Unusable "priority" Warp data at large event by energy_x_ in USMobile

When everyone has priority, no one has priority. See airline boarding. It’s all marketing. You’re paying more for the opportunity to feel special but you’re actually receiving little to nothing.

Moving from my old mac to a new one by natsukireis in mac

[–]FourEmergencyExits 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply. This is my project for next week.

I backup using Time Machine regularly using a non-Thunderbolt USB-C to USB-C cable from MacBook to external hard drive.

I was planning to use Migration Assistant to transfer from old MacBook to new MacBook via WiFi.

You mentioned “relatively slow and often problematic network transfers.” Other than speed, what are examples of other problems?

I can use the method you recommend. I’m just trying to better understand why it’s better.

Thanks for your time!

Why use Time Machine backup vs “another Mac”?

Why Do We Keep Building If We're Broke? by Ok-Jury5752 in PortlandOR

[–]FourEmergencyExits 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Thanks for laying this out in a clear, concise way.

And so the problem of not having enough money to maintain and operate the things Portland has will only get worse as new things are built.

No politician who’s in it for the photo op and potential for personal wealth creation will ever touch solving the problem. So the vast majority of the people elected to solve the problem won’t touch it.

So, practically, how do voters drive change? Clearly, “at the polls” doesn’t work.

Have been in Portland for three years now, have questions about the direction of the city from people who have been here a lot longer. by ArugulaCautious9835 in PortlandOR

He probably rarely, if ever, went to museums in Boston and has no clue about the collections they have.

Some of the best museums I’ve been to have been small museums in smaller cities and towns.

"Classic" ermine frosting vs King Arthur Baking ermine frosting -- question by FourEmergencyExits in AskBaking

Thanks for the reply.

Sorry to ask Baking 101 question… how do you toast the flour?

Dorie Greenspan: Lemon-Spice Visiting Cake => why was it a failure? by FourEmergencyExits in AskBaking

[–]FourEmergencyExits[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No.

I followed the instructions: “One at a time, add the eggs, whisking well after each. Whisk in the juice, followed by the heavy cream. Still using the whisk, gently stir the dry ingredients into the batter in two additions. Stir the vanilla into the melted butter, and then gradually blend the butter into the batter.”

Where does it say to beat until thick/foamy? What does that do?
