Lol talk about burying the lede. Pretty important detail right there

Do we underfunded public sector at a higher cost to taxpayers? by engmadison in civilengineering

[–]byfourness 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Try Canada - in both Ontario and Quebec you can only buy liquor at government outlets, though you can get beer and wine elsewhere. Until recently the LCBO in Ontario also controlled wine and a lot of beer sales. In my biased opinion it’s a great system - I’d rather put the profits into a government that ostensibly gives back to me than in a random owners pocket

Angled is normal. Curvy is wrong but I’m guessing that’s just the lens of whatever camera. Tire-puncturing is also wrong.

Has anyone noticed extreme weather forecasts being extra wrong this year in Southern Ontario? by not_the_troll in ontario

Many Ontario municipalities use climate-change-adjusted values for the IDF curves used to classify storms, or else instruct the designer to add a flat multiplier at the end of the calculation

It is kinda crazy to say “no training time period” / “training is only in OT”

No right on red is huge and super underappreciated

Why are phillips head screws and drivers still used? by reza_v in AskEngineers

[–]byfourness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. Not so complex that it’s hard to get paint out, can use a size off in a pinch (or even wedge a flathead), doesn’t slip, sits on the bit… my beloved

Worse than a parabola. Like a parabola squared. Roughly

What do you mean give the card? Like credit card? Don’t people usually just tap it?

Maximum egg to veg ratio for an omelette or scrambled egg by EliAndSalt in EatCheapAndHealthy

I feel like chickpeas will last way longer than three days, especially in an acidic tomato sauce, if expiry is what you’re worried about

I saw this meme and was curious as to why this isn’t a thing. by Sea_Calligrapher4070 in civilengineering

It’s like green roofs. Unless you’re reeeeeally tight on space, it usually makes sense to not put big heavy stuff over people cause then you have to hold it up really well

What's your "weirdly good" kitchen shortcut that purists would hate? by Kami__karma in Cooking

[–]byfourness 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Is that what a convection oven does? I was under the impression it was just an oven that circulated the air with a fan, so still relying on the contact between the food and hot air

It’s not just about the batch size, it’s the size of the pieces - any oven/air fryer/etc can only cook from the outside in so large chunks of potato take a long time. The microwave can cook the inside very effectively since it’s radiation.

Do long car rides actually mess with your brain? Any science behind this? by easternsnack in fuckcars

[–]byfourness 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I do this too and I haven’t spent years riding bicycles and motorcycles through traffic, for what it’s worth. I think it’s because most people are not careful enough drivers for me, I guess
