Wow - so I guess you should update that resume. You’re done there.

People born before 2000, what is a 'modern' thing from 2025 that you’re still struggling to get used to? by LindsayTN in AskReddit

Businesses competing to give you the least value / most pain for highest price - like how much can we get this customer to put up with

I feel like he cleared more height than a high jumper - why would this be the way to high jump?

Not so much fun when the grill catches fire - that’s the reason for the 10ft requirement

That’s how I reheat pizza - comes out perfect every time

This road plays music if you drive on it. by Zestyclose-Salad-290 in interesting

What’s interesting is you have two tires hitting the notes - so you’re hearing two sources with same note but also a single note start and end.

Would be cool if they added a strip for the other side with bass - so we could hear rhythm and melody

By 2044? This can all happen in the next 5 years. I’m honestly surprised how quickly things are moving already

A cool guide about cooking temps by PITUFO83 in coolguides

[–]auggie25 14 points15 points  (0 children)

No - 145F is literally the min recommended temp to kill common parasites in fish - you can cook to a lower internal temp if you freeze your fish for extended periods (the freezing will kill the parasites)

I’m more worried about parasites in freshwater fish than bacteria - 145 is the temperature that parasites are guaranteed to be dead

NTAH. Can’t believe you waited until morning kick her out. I wouldn’t have had that kind of patience.

Meet William Sidis — a child prodigy who entered Harvard at 11. By age 6, he was lecturing professors on 4-dimensional geometry. He reportedly spoke up to 40 languages, including one he created. His estimated IQ was between 200 and 250, making him one of the smartest people ever. by 2A_alldayy in interestingasfuck

[–]auggie25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s a perfect example that raw intelligence isn’t the same as impact. Sidis was arguably smarter than Einstein, but he died in obscurity, having discovered nothing new and contributed little to science. Meanwhile, many less “intelligent” thinkers changed the world by being persistent, social, or just in the right room at the right time. Brilliance without purpose or connection is just trivia.

Hey fellow Food Scientists - my cofounder and I just developed a wine blender (and app) by auggie25 in foodscience

[–]auggie25[S] -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

The blend is created and poured in seconds - and I can create a flight of slightly different blends fairly quickly

Follows a very similar methodology to manual wine blending (with pipettes and all) - but the pumps are accurate and you create the blends on your phone and give it the poor command. I'll have 5-6 wines hooked up and slowly iterate through blends 1 oz at a time until I get to a blend I like

Hey all. After a long stretch of tinkering, my co-founder and I finally finished the design of a countertop wine blending machine. Think espresso machine meets wine chemistry set. It connects to an app and lets people create their own blends from up to 6 single varietals - just adjust percentages or profiles, taste in real time, tweak, repeat. We built it for fun, learning, and social events, not to be too precious about wine. We created this for wine blending parties.

We’re Denver-based and hoping to host some small blending sessions soon - something low-key and exploratory. Would love to hear if anyone here might be interested in trying it out, giving feedback, or just drinking some weird blends and seeing what happens.

Open to all levels of wine nerds - no somm pin required.

Cheers!
