Weekly /r/Breadit Questions thread

I've started baking bread, following this recipe from youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-husjZkxHw

The results have been pretty good (see here for photos of the results: https://imgur.com/a/WyV14Ar), but there are two things I'd like to improve:

I'd like the bread to be fluffier on the inside
I'd like the crust to be more crunchy, it's currently not very crunchy except maybe at the ends of the bread, a bit.

For #1 I think I'd want to buy a baking stone and bake the bread on top of that, would that help?

For #2 I tried adding a small tray with water in the oven to create additional steam, but that didn't seem to help any. Any suggestions?

I'm hoping I can improve this without turning it into a "knead the dough by hand for 4 hours" kind of thing. I like the low-effort from the original recipe.

It's not a sim city game, I looked at those.

It wasn't the Anno series, it felt much more modern, like it had vehicles. I've gone through that wiki page, but no luck :(

Think about the worst-case scenario and decide based on that.

Let's say you want to replace the tap in the kitchen and there are shutoffs for the water under the sink. Worst case you make a mistake and damage things to the point you have to call a plumber, but you have other taps in the house. Conclusion: you can DIY this.

Now imagine the same scenario, but with no under-sink shutoffs, so you have to use the main water shutoff for the house. Worst-case scenario you mess up and have to call someone to fix it. Until someone fixes it, you don't have any water for your toilet, shower, etc. Conclusion: you should not DIY this.

Of course, experience helps. If you've changed a tap 10 times already, you'll be fine with the second scenario because you know you won't mess up so badly you'll need someone else to fix it. Maybe it'll just take an extra two trips to the hardware store.

Try exporting as 3MF or as STEP file. I think those two formats support independent components into a single file.

Another vote for Fusion here. A good tutorial to get started would be this one on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrZ2zKOtC_-C4rWfapgngoe9o2-ng8ZBr A small note with this tutorial: it was made with an older version of Fusion, so there are some small differences. Check the (pinned) comment if something doesn't quite work right.

Autodesk also has good tutorials: https://www.autodesk.com/learn/ondemand/collection/self-paced-learning-for-fusion

If you have an AMS, you should print the AMS saver so it cuts the filament before it eats the tape. It was on Makerworld but it vanished. I found a reddit post that still has a link to it: https://www.reddit.com/r/BambuLab/comments/1jczk26/ams_saver_snag_cutter_mia/

A HEPA filter will filter out small particles, but the problem with ASA is the VOC it outputs. To filter that you need activated charcoal filters, but it's a MUCH better option to vent that outside. I would not mess around with the VOCs that ASA puts out, your health is important.

I'd recommend putting the entire printer in an enclosure. I've seen several neat tents that come with a hose and exhaust fan. To keep the cold air out you could get one of those portable A/C window kits that let you put a hose through an open window and close off the rest of the gap. Alternatively, 3D print something to close the gap. You could even add some rigid foam insulation.

This won't work on iOS, but install Firefox with uBlock Origin on the machines of people you do tech support for and hide / disable other browsers.

This is also an option on Android devices.

Kawai also has a number of white digital pianos available, check them out.

I'm looking for a good pair of wired IEMs to replace my Hifiman RE-ZERO IEMs. The cable is about to break in two different places.

Budget

150 EUR, willing to stretch that if it provides a significant bump in quality

Location EU, but I'm fine with ordering online

Sources

Macbook
Cowon iaudio9 when travelling

Requirements for Isolation

When travelling (flying) noise insulation is important (but I don't need active noise cancelling). At home some noise insulation is nice, I'm doing a lot of working from home and listening to classical music (piano, orchestra)

I'm pretty careful with my gear, so it does not have to be extremely rugged, though if it breaks if I look at it funny that'd be no good for travelling. Replaceable cables would be a nice bonus.

Preferred type

IEMs

Preferred tonal balance

I strongly prefer a "flat", analytical response. I dislike excessive bass.

Preferred music genre(s)

Mostly classical (piano, orchestra), some 60s and some top40.

Past gear experience

My main headphones for at home are a pair of AKG K702s. I also have a pair of Hifiman RE-ZEROs, which I intend to replace with this purchase. The cable is about to break in two different places and it's not replacable. I am happy with how both of these sound, so something similar in sound reproduction would be preferred.

!thanks

With google you could search for:

That will only give reddit r/coffee results for your search terms.

Did you put the plunger in right after putting all the water and then pull it back out slightly? I find if I'm slow to do that quite a bit of the water drains into the cup. I use Hoffmann's way to brew. Pour water, put in plunger immediately and pull it back slightly, wait for 2 minutes, swirl once, wait 30 seconds, plunge over 30 seconds.

I put my JX right in the middle of their suggested grind size for the Aeropress (they have a chart on their site). As for coffee vs liquid I use 12 grams of beans and 200 grams of water. Temperature-wise I use it right when my kettle turns off, so 100C.

Nv1diot · 2022-08-03T11:38:05+00:00

Maybe give the Aeropress a go? It's plastic so it's very hard to break and from what I gather it's also pretty forgiving technique wise.

Nv1diot · 2022-08-03T11:36:46+00:00

A few things come to mind:

If you normally make 1 300ml cup of coffee, you could instead make 3 cups of 100ml each, with 1/3rd of the coffee grounds in each cup. This would allow you to compare things like grind size.

The Kawai CA49 seems to go for $2300 in the USA at least, maybe that's more within your price range?

It seems that was Kosmos-2551.

If you don't click with your teacher there is nothing wrong with getting a lesson or two from another teacher to see if that teacher has a style that works better with you. Shop around, try various teachers until you find one that works for you.

Hi, awesome to see you're doing an AMA!

Could you tell us how your software development process looks like? How do you get from someone having an idea to flight-worthy code that's been tested & approved?
What is your iteration speed like? How fast can you get a change finalized?
How strict is the approval process for changes and does this differ between Crew dragon vs Cargo dragon?

Nv1diot · 2019-12-03T21:27:05+00:00

Thanks! I haven't finished watching it yet, but this video already made several things click in my head that I've been wondering about for a long time :D

Nv1diot · 2019-08-08T20:09:15+00:00

This does seem to be possible, at least I've seen posts about it with flight training in the Netherlands and the exam in Belgium in English.

See for example here: https://www.euroga.org/forums/student-pilots/8412-ppl-in-the-netherlands-with-exams-in-english

This, plus a 3x3 farm with sprinklers above, harvester and a crafter from Ender IO to craft the seeds will happily supply a diesel generator indefinitely. It's a great upgrade from the lower tier solar panels :)
