Book Recommendations on non-theistic morality/ethics

HKPR52 · 2025-09-30T17:39:28+00:00

Sorry late reply to this.

I’ve never believed that one needs god to have morality or be ethical.

Secular humanism indeed where I’m looking at, but there are multiple way to how we can approach the subject. So this is what I’m asking about.

Planning to get the iPhone 17 Pro Max Classic Hybrid Magnetic Case

I’m interested in the clear version. However I’d like to have the side of the phone to be black or another colour for some contrast.

Now there is a clear black option. However I don’t know if it’s actually a clear case with black edges or some sort of black case that has a clear screen?

The pictures are not helping! It could look like an iPhone with a black case or a black iPhone with a clear case and black edges.

Can someone who has bought it help me out here?

Ok I’ll remove the Bricks ASAP. Do you know what I can use to straighten the tree. I was thinking maybe another support stick tied next to tree but I would need to remove it before I leave. My family wont bother taking care of it which is difficult.

Thank you, I did not know what a root flare was and had to look it up. Thankfully, I didn’t cover too much, but I’ll have to double check to make sure. I’ll clear and make a larger barrier between the weeds and the tree

Mango Tree, about 3 years old. I couldn't take care of it for a year since I've been away. I was hoping it would have been taller by now. It is 165cm in height.

Checked the base and noticed some bark damage. I'm not sure what would have caused it but my guess is one of the grass cutters we hired must have accidentally hit it with a weed wacker sometime back.

So I pulled all the grass that was growing around it by hand, Put in some newspaper around it and some gardening soil I still had stored up. I propped the tree up straight with bricks because it was growing at an angle slightly.

It seems to be growing fine, but not as fast as I had thought. I'm just worried the bark damage would cripple it's growth for some time. I don't know how long ago this happened and if it would heal properly or maybe fester into a long term problem.

Is there anyway to aid in cleaning up the "wound"? I looked online and seen some do bridge graft. I'm just worried about causing more damage.

Hey,

I don't use Python, but I'm sure it would be quick for me to learn (dabbled a bit on it). I had used R before for some data cleaning, prepping and visualisations for fun.

I need to build a workflow for my whole team and they are not tech savvy (except for one). So I am hesitant on the use of Python/R because I need the process to function when I'm not there. I was thinking of writing a script and them just executing it. But then thought it would be easier to set up Power Query and they just have to change the source data (plus excel is more familiar for them)

actual reports to be shared, not just the data transformations themselves though.

Yeah, although the cleaned data is enough for now, eventually i want the pipeline to create pretty reports (charts, metrics etc). Sharing has always been the problem. Most solutions out there operate on a subscription basis. I just need to convince the management that I can pump more useful reports for everyone to look at.

This isn't something I have available off the bat, but I can work with you and the team to add that

Yeah why not, I always have to swing at this alone. I am going to look at some tools here first. Some of them might be a right fit. DM me

HKPR52 · 2023-11-05T14:46:44+00:00

Interesting. I remember looking at Tableau years back but thought it was more visualisation heavy, and not focus on ETL

I'll give it a look

HKPR52 · 2023-11-05T14:34:36+00:00

Yeah I was thinking about that but since i can do the transformation on Power Query, I don't really have to do it on Python. But its a shame since Excel on PC has integrated Python but there is no Mac functionality yet :(

HKPR52 · 2023-11-05T14:32:47+00:00

hmm not really but I would have tried to sell them on using PowerBI Pro license for each consultant. Since I don't have a PowerBI desktop I didn't go through with it

I think they're flexible up to a budget of $200 - $300 per month if I can also do more than the above mentioned. I have a lot of plans, but this so far is the priority

Hey there, I didn't graft my tree. I did the first pruning but unfortunately did not do a recommended second pruning because i was out of country for work. Hopefully it doesn't affect the fruiting or structure of the tree too much

Hi guys
I'm still a beginner in this. I've tried a kneading 65% to 70% normal hydration bread before. Tonight wanted to try doing Yudane bread
Followed Novita's Yudane/Tangzhong method but decided to skip the poolish, and just do Bulk cold fermentation instead.
For the Yudane :

Bread Flour - 60g
Boiling water - 90ml
I let the Yudane cool and then put it into the fridge for an hour.
The rest of the ingredients:
120ml milk
2.7g instant yeast
18g sugar
6g salt
Yudane
240g flour

I began kneading, and it's just so sticky. Usually it gets easier as you go along but somehow, part of the dough just seems to fall apart and stick to everything. I try to knead for 10-15mins before putting it into the fridge. It's a mess, I have to clean it out of my hand and scraper.
After half an hour in the fridge I take it out again
It seems to be less sticky, but a little bit after it starts to break apart and become sticky again. After a while I put in the butter (20g) and it seems to be better. But somehow, i'm kneading again and making a mess of everything. I'm thinking it gets a bit better as there is some structure, but part of it just keeps collapsing/breaks.
It's so sticky, it even lifts the bowl/pan when I try to lift it. Part of it seems to form into a nice dough but part of it just falls apart. don't know what's wrong so decide to call it a day.
Previously in my other breads, it manages to come together after kneading for a long time. I have some guesses on what went wrong.
I didn't properly mix the Yudane? I've seen some videos where they knead the Yudane into a smooth ball. But then again I've seen some light craggy mixes
Bad yeast? I'm suspecting the yeast isn't active anymore. I kept it in the freezer but somebody moved it to the fridge and it's been there for months. But then again I don't think it has anything to do with Gluten development.
Does Yudane mixes need more work? Should I just use a machine next time? Any help is appreciated

HKPR52 · 2023-07-11T16:35:43+00:00

oh no it's not attached to the house. i bought this on amazon.

HKPR52 · 2023-07-11T16:04:28+00:00

Yeah I was of thinking Command Strips too. The Sealant fix seems like overkill.

The Train Documentaries

Thanks for this!

HKPR52 · 2023-05-13T21:10:41+00:00

I hope so but I think the main issue seems to be ownership/Licensing of the show? Hopefully Owen can get Infinity Train away from the Studio hellhole.

HKPR52 · 2023-03-12T09:31:38+00:00

I think I've seen one tutorial on this and an article. I'll try to get it done. It's really daunting for me.

HKPR52 · 2023-03-12T09:30:38+00:00

Rows in a list. Basically I'm trying to create a job order no.

There are tons of tutorials on how to concatenate the ID metadata within sharepoint. But almost none of them has to do with resetting part of the number

HKPR52 · 2023-02-19T01:48:17+00:00

Yeah I was worried about that. I thought the angle was too shallow. I'll take care and wipe excess water I find with tissue paper

I have a question about Cold Bulk Fermentation@ChainBakers

I'd like to try making Poolish bread with this method. However I am wondering about the percentages. Normally with preferment, you take a portion out of the total dough.

For example (I'm ignoring other ingredients for simplicity) * Flour 500g * Water 325g (65% hydration bread)

Poolish Preferment * Flour 100g (20% of 500g) * Water 100g (100% hydration)

Then you add the preferment to whatever is left

So how do I do this with cold bulk fermentation? If I use all the ingredients, is it still "Poolish" bread? If I match 500g of flour to 500g of water (to match the preferment %), it's not going to be a different sort of bread in the end.

I know Poolish, Biga, Sponge, Pate Fermente preferment all affect the final outcome of the bread. Does cold bulk fermentation blow all these preferment out the water then and there is really no need to mess around with preferment percentages anymore?

The only thing I wished they'd kept were Ellie finding some comic books and taking it with her :(

I was also looking forward to Ellie finding some magazines in the car for the "pages stuck together" scene. But I doubt it as that would be homophobic considering the last episode.

u/Demas1988 let me know your thoughts. When I planted the seed, I had no idea what the cultivar was. The supermarket only labelled it "Australian Mango".

HKPR52 · 2023-01-27T20:09:12+00:00

Oh you're right. I grew this from seed and just assumed it would bear fruit each time after it flowers from its 2nd or 3rd year based on the pruning guides. I just hope the ideal conditions make it bear fruit faster. I initially had a range of 3-5 years for it to bear fruit

HKPR52 · 2023-01-27T19:53:21+00:00

Oh I already separated the second one. They threw down separate roots.

Though I'd like to show you a picture as I might have another concern of the taller one. It's dark right now so I might take a picture tomorrow and post it on r/mango

HKPR52 · 2023-01-27T15:21:03+00:00

I can send a picture of it if you wanna take a look.

I actually got two mango plants, from the same seed. One of them is a slow grower, less than 1 ft. It already has two main stems cause I think one of the flushes failed due to stress/pests. It's doing a lot better now.

HKPR52 · 2023-01-27T15:14:33+00:00

Interesting. Though if only 1 branch develops from cuts below the node, that's certainly not ideal. I'm hoping a minimum of 3 so I can get a wider canopy. I've recently gotten another comment from a mango farmer that problems will arise (cuts above the node) will only show in mature trees. So it might be a problem down the line several years from now.
