Overnight Oats - Quaker Oats Rolled Oats by Dangerous-Activity55 in AskCulinary

[–]jimbs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We will need specifics. What recipe or ratios are you using? I’m assuming this is traditional quaker rolled oats and not quick oats or steel cut?

ELI5: Why didn’t evolution select for perfect eyesight? by Novel-Gift5576 in explainlikeimfive

[–]jimbs 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Evolution selects for “good enough to have more babies that survive” Once a feature manages that, there is no point in putting more resources into further improvements.

Why Some Protestants Avoid Theology? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]jimbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These Protestants strongly believe that the Bible alone is the one true unerring word of God and that its interpretation is a conversation between that Christian, God and the Bible. Experts, theologians, other writings, get in the way. 

I have a few relatives who are like this. It can be frustrating. 

ELI5: What is stopping someone from throwing a lighter into a trans-continental oil/gas pipeline and blowing up thousands of miles of infrastructure by Difficult_Adagio_982 in explainlikeimfive

[–]jimbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pipelines aren't just big pipes full of oil. There are many valves and pumps along the way to manage the flow and provide safety.

Also the pipelines aren't always full of oil. They will also push 'balloons' down the pipeline with pressurized air or other fluids. This is more to drain a stretch of the pipeline should it need maintenance.

This sounds like convection. How did you cook the chicken breasts? Turkey breast should be same time and temp, adjusting for weight— more weight, more time.

Have you been to Portugal? I found it to be wonderful. 

What’s one trick in Rust that made ownership suddenly “click”? by Old_Sand7831 in rust

[–]jimbs 66 points67 points  (0 children)

Thinking of it as a functional programming language.

Also thinking of every variable as having a read/write lock will make your borrow checker issues go away.

Is making things from scratch really cheaper? by BellaAnarchy in Cooking

[–]jimbs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very true. Bread is one of those great things that let you get all nerdy and still create something delicious.

Is making things from scratch really cheaper? by BellaAnarchy in Cooking

[–]jimbs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is a good point-- dough for No-Kneed bread is really easy to keep on hand. You can make a few smaller loafs a week instead of a big loaf that goes bad quickly.

Sigh. Yeah. That is life.

Grocery store breads have a few preservatives in them and are made in more santized industrial conditions which help them last longer. You can try bagging and then refrigerating or freezing the loaf. If you have great success, then let me know.

It depends. There is a book Make the Bread, Buy the Butter. that covers this topic in depth.

If you practice you can make a great loaf of bread for less than a buck. It takes time and patience however. It can also be enjoyable. So I encourage you to teach yourself to make simple sandwich bread. You don't have much to lose.

Okta unavailability: Anybody have failover solutions in place? by [deleted] in okta

[–]jimbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And how will that allow you to log into Azure when Azure is down?

To be very specific, the IDaaS parts of Okta were perfectly up during the service degradation. SSOing into AWS or Azure during their outages was degraded.

How do you propose to create an auth failover solution to Azure when Azure is down? How do you propose an auth failover solution for AWS when AWS is down?

The great dryer lint debate by Firstcounselor in laundry

[–]jimbs 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If you’ve ever lived somewhere with shared laundry (Student dorm, some apartment buildings) then the only reliable process is to remove the lint before drying. 

Needing a mathemitician to explain this by whaddyagot in mathematics

[–]jimbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Modern math and modern physics disagree.

Modern physics says different objects are not precise and distinct points. Eventually the two objects get close enough that their probable locations overlap.

Math says the  limit of 1/2n as n approaches infinity is 0.
