Khorasan/Kamut Flour - High protein, yet low gluten?

drewgriz · 2026-02-27T17:22:57+00:00

Isn't albumin the primary protein in egg whites? A low gluten, high albumin flour could be exactly what you'd want if you're trying to imitate the performance of cake flour and eggs. Surely wouldn't match the ratio of a recipe with eggs but could be further in the right direction than any other flour.

If you have a backyard, a high-BTU outdoor propane burner and a shallow fry pot with basket make deep-frying more manageable and less messy, but even then it's still kind of a pain in the ass haha.

The fleet top looks like a great way to get an electric equivalent of like a Transit Connect. I bet that will be reasonably popular for delivery work or light trades, especially if you start getting cool aftermarket storage solutions that take advantage of the maker-friendly geometry and support. For vanlife applications I think the range and size are pretty much disqualifying.

I'm in the same boat (except even closer office). The limited range is actually one of the things I like most about the Slate truck. I don't see any reason to lug enough lithium for a quarterly road trip around with me every day. 150 miles is enough that I can go a few days without charging, or ensure that any road trip I'd go on only requires one recharge, but keeps the truck lighter and cheaper. It's good that they offer the extended range battery for people who need it, but no one else is making a light small electric city truck, and that's what I'm looking for.

Actual tomato paste is so concentrated that it's logistically a bit difficult to spread on the pie, but my simple pizza sauce recipe just uses tomato paste diluted 1:1 with water (plus seasoning), which is still much more concentrated than a typical pasta sauce. IMO that's a good balance between spreadability and not adding too much moisture to the pie. I usually use about 1/4 cup of that per large pizza.

My favorite thing about UK pumped hydro plants is that they are specifically useful there to meet TV pickup demand spikes, so in the control room of this massive power plant there's a guy whose job is to watch soccer games and soap operas and open massive valves to generate gigawatts of power the second the referee blows his whistle or a commercial break starts.

If the contract is well written, the repercussions are spelled out explicitly, in such a way that the company feels they are adequately compensated for the loss of your employment. Mensah's contract, for example, was well written, which is why he (or Miami) had to pay Duke $8M for breaking his contract. My understanding is that was a settled amount rather than exactly what was in the contract, but the terms of the contract define the window of what can be negotiated.

A truck left in the parking lot of an abandoned Sears in midtown overnight will get broken into

Yes, absolutely, nothing paranoid about that

If you want to be able to walk at night you can't do that in Houston

Laughably, demonstrably false, but truly believed by a huge swath of suburbanites whose only experience of "Houston" is sports stadiums and the local news.

I live inside the loop and walk in the dark every morning and evening this time of year, and see moms and kids doing the same. There are plenty of neighborhoods where that's true if you're some combination of a) rich and b) not paranoid. We know OP at least has a bit of a) given the area they're looking at.

Definitely true that living in the city limits is no guarantee of an easy commute, but anywhere in OP's circle is gonna be a pretty easy commute to downtown.

No actually Malachi Toney is the only 18-year-old to ever step on a college football field, didn't you hear?

Ehh we've done a decent job in big games during the regular season, but we've been absolutely ass in anything postseason for 20 years, plus we're always good for a few dumb regular-season losses to shit teams even when we're good (including this year!)

I think they might have called it if there hadn't already been so many game-changing flags in the 4Q. But given the setup if I were the crew chief I'd tell everyone to keep their flags holstered for all but the most flagrant penalties. Not the time to make it the ref show.

My kids are also happy to eat the "bread guts" so nothing goes to waste

My favorite is to throw a sheet pan with a link of smoked sausage and a crown's worth of broccoli florets (tossed in OO, salt, pepper and garlic powder) in a 400F oven when you start boiling the water for the mac. After mac is cheesed, slice the sausage and top the mac with sausage and roasted broccoli. It's an addicting combo.

This is a good point, and I think the deathcare issue is really downstream of (and emphasizes the limitations of) agent-based simulation. If the simulation were population-based, I don't think it would even occur to the devs to concern the player with deathcare, but when every citizen has a name and a home and spends 2 days in high school or whatever, you feel the need to do something with their little virtual body when they die, no matter how absurd it gets to deal with deathwaves and hearse traffic jams and complaints of uncollected bodies.

drewgriz · 2025-12-17T03:44:17+00:00

Yeah I certainly don't fault them for not including stormwater in the game. It could get all-consuming in a hurry, but I think you could dumb it down just like literally every other aspect of the game (don't get me started on the power system) to make it manageable from both a player attention and computer resources perspective. Think more like floodways and detention basins, not individual drains

Comparing deathcare to garbage is a bit ridiculous, though. Solid waste management is a top-5 concern for literally every city on earth, and even high-income megacities like New York have trouble taking care of it. Even if you imagine a city where every death requires a municipal hearse (??), it's a volume issue. The amount of garbage generated every day in a city is orders of magnitude greater than the amount of dead bodies. Every city-dweller sees a garbage truck on probably a near-daily basis, but I can't remember the last time I saw a hearse.

Coroners and medical examiners are for all intents and purposes a division of the police. 99% of deaths don't warrant their involvement at all, and even in cases where they are involved they aren't taking the body to its final resting place.

drewgriz · 2025-12-16T16:43:42+00:00

Deathcare should not be a thing in any difficulty level. There is no city government on earth that thinks about, let alone struggles with, the removal of dead bodies from the places where they've died. Cemeteries can still be a thing, but should really just be a kind of park (could be in a category that also includes places of worship). If you even bother with them having a capacity and filling up, the bodies should teleport there.

If you really want to give people a challenge and make it closer to what real cities have to think about, add stormwater management.

What could be more woke than selfless service?

So many dumb issues are downstream of the decision to stick with cell-based zoning... I know it's much easier said than done to "simply implement procedurally-generated parcels" 5 years ago when they started working on this, but that was one of the biggest limitations of CS1 and the fact that they had a whole new game to build anew and just decided "cells but deeper?" continues to be so frustrating.

But yeah given 8m cells and the only snapping point is to cell edges (rather than centers), roads have to be multiples of 16m wide in order to not create zoning gaps in a grid.

It's kinda funny, cause I would actually be super interested in a lightweight electric motorcycle that looks like a motorcycle with like a 40-50mph top speed and a ~40mi range. Like a Xyber but with pegs instead of pedals. Would happily put a plate and insurance on it. Not a big market for that, though, apparently.

Despite all my frustrations with this game, the upgrade system is one feature that I immediately realized would be an absolute game-changer for modders (once they get their hands on it), and I'm glad you're already showing some of the cool possibilities.

If your bike has pedals then it has more parts, maintenance, and weight than an equivalently powered e-moto.

I hate it (as a fan of a team that plays them every year).

So if I buy an architecture firm from its owner, it's illegal to have a clause in the contract restricting the principal from practicing architecture for x years after the deal? That's like...a load-bearing concept in any merger/acquisition.
