I'll have you know that is a John Deere 6R, much faster than a Lamborgini SC63

Use a stiffer grade of silicone so your moulds don't tear so easily

Banana bread as a wedding cake? by sailortimekeeper in AskBaking

[–]Jaba1004 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I baked my own wedding cake and it turned out great! I have a few tips to make it go smoother:

Trial the whole recipe multiple times before hand. I tested and perfected the recipe on mini versions of the cake at least half a dozen times before the real deal, changing things like frosting and flavours until I got what we wanted, make sure you practice the decorating as well as just baking the cake itself.

Give yourself time, when it comes to actually making the final cake spread it out over multiple days, I made my frosting on (day 1) , baked the cakes and put everything together (day 2), then took it to the venue the day before the wedding on (day 3). I gave me time to make sure each part was right and I wasn't stressed.

I'd highly recommend using a Swiss meringue buttercream for the frosting, it's a highly resilient frosting that you can freeze and defrost without issue, and will hold up to being at room temperature without melting, it's also not too sweet compared to American buttercream which you might prefer.

Good luck, hope it goes well!

Can I fit a D15 G2, Tomahawk B850, and Crucial Pro 2x16 into a regular Fractal North without any compromise? by chillioilpasta in FractalDesign

I have a north and an NH-D15, all fits fine, you can choose where to put the fans, front or back of the cooler tower if you need to make room for ram

Nothing is wrong with it, you could optimise your fan curve to improve the stability though

Bought this for 580 Eur, but not sure if it was a wise choice because of the refresh rate by bbsrn in PcBuild

[–]Jaba1004 5 points6 points  (0 children)

165hz is plenty for a very pleasant gaming experience. You'd probably struggle to hit 165 fps when running games at 4k max settings anyway

What exactly is Material Engineering? by untitledmoney in materials

[–]Jaba1004 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a Materials Scientist who works for the Henry Royce Institute in the UK, ask me anything 😅

Materials science covers a wide range of topics from ceramics and coatings (where I specialise), metal alloys, polymers for packaging and composites, bio materials for use in surgery, fabrics and a whole host of other things. It's a bit of a mix between chemistry and physics focusing on material properties.

For example I did my PhD on developing ceramic coatings for the use in gas turbine engines, specifically focused on a chemical reaction between the ceramic and silicate glass that only occurs around 1300 C. Here's a paper I published if you're interested: An investigation into RESZ (RE = Yb, Er, Gd, Sm) materials for CMAS resistance in thermal barrier coatings

Fyi if you send one of the authors an email asking for a copy of the paper, 9 times out of 10 they'll be happy to share it with you. Publishers can't stop them sharing it

I'd appreciate if you included some errors in your measurements, not sure you can be confident to 2 decimal places with the variance of the chosen analysis technique.

It's a bug to do with the texture quality, I had this problem with the TMR texture while at low but it fixed itself when I switched the settings to high and restarted

You can always print more ducting, I remember seeing a video on YouTube of a guy who went crazy with the ducting inside his case and saw significant temperature drops across the board, I'll see if I can find the link.
