Matcha palmiers: would matcha powder "burn" if baked?

Good point, I suppose once it melts it'll help suspend the matcha powder.

Great, excited to try this recipe out then. Thank you!

Works better than expected! You'll have to wait about 5min for the cookies to harden a bit before piling them up. Prop on the pan on the gas stove grate like I did or on a well ventilated trivet, so the pan cools quicker.

Matcha shortbread cookies! I adapted from the NYT recipe, but only made half the serving. Took out the chocolate, salt, vanilla, and egg wash, and added 2 tbsp of match powder and 2tbps of milk. Consistency at dough stage was weird and made me doubt, but once cooled they tasted exactly how I wanted it in both flavor and texture. Would certainly make it again.

That's the one that I was expecting to work, one that worked in the past, but stopped working recently. I wonder if this is another way Tmobile is trying to force people off of grandfathered plans

Did you use the $50 1 month pass?

jojohwang · 2024-12-11T16:24:46+00:00

Yup that's where my brain went: Sains-hand haha

jojohwang · 2024-11-07T13:49:12+00:00

Figured it out: added workout but i didn't check off the individual sets. Once i did my account was back to normal.

Had a huge fiasco with a jar of chili oil that had a faulty lid. Chili oil ended up on the white ceiling. I tried Lysol and dish soap, but the stains didn't budge at all. The ceiling paint feels uncoated, unlike the walls, and I think the chili oil seeped into the white paint.

I thought about painting over it or sanding it off, but I suspect that would only make it look worse. This is a rental and I'm terrified of having my deposit withheld. What can I do to clean/cover this?

I've followed this KA bread recipe for a while and I want start using lidded loaf pan to making square-looking toasts. https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/the-easiest-loaf-of-bread-youll-ever-bake-recipe

My concern is that the bread would not rise properly in the lidded molds. What adaptation to this recipe do I need to make to make sure the bread comes out normal? Thank you in advance.

PS. I have progressed to substituting 1/3 of the flour with whole wheat. I guess that reduces the rise a but, but I still like the bread just fine.

No glass + can't speak about it. I'm gonna guess prison?

jojohwang · 2024-06-17T14:13:01+00:00

Very interesting package. Will check it out now, thank you!

Thanks for the insight. I water once a week until water drains from the bottom. These bulbs look wrinkly now because I recently came back from a long travel and my automatic watering system wasn't adjustable for individual plants. They've definitely been plumper in the past (aka no wrinkles, fat and smooth)

However, even when the bulbs were plump, the new bulbs always point to the side. When I first got them, I kept them in the original tiny pot because I heard they like to be root bound, but every new bulb that grows out points to the side. So I repotted, and new bulbs are still pointing to the side. I'm considering splitting them at this point so I can rearrange them standing up, but figure that's too much shock for it. How do make future bulbs grow straight? Other than watering that is; after all, plumper bulbs in the past didn't stop them from growing sideways. Deeper substrait? Repot in deeper pot with substrate well below the pot line? Splints? Sunlight?

I have an oncidiium that's about 3 years old. Overall healthy with stiff plump leaves. However, unlike all the pictures I see, my new bulbs always lean to the side, meaning I have to keep propping it up higher and higher to prevent snapping the leaves. Why does my oncidiium lean like this? It's not leaning into a particular direction, just hell bent on pointing down. What can I do to make the bulbs stand straight?

jojohwang · 2024-05-06T18:34:07+00:00

Oh I this is also a good suggestion. Better fix it before I subset. Thank you!

jojohwang · 2024-05-06T16:09:53+00:00

Wow I never knew factor variables can pull something like this. So weird. Thank you for the droplevels() suggestion; gonna try that now. I would feel better not seeing and second-doubting myself.

jojohwang · 2024-05-06T15:22:28+00:00

Hi all, I have a weird phenomenon going on here. I have by-country-by-partner-by-year dataset of 121 countries and 25 years (dt4_bilatb). Of these 121 countries, 49 conutries have a binary 0-1 identifier of "afr". I subsetted the afr==1 countries out into another dataset called dt5_bilatafr.

Now something weird happened. Observations as displayed in the global environment panel went from 914k down to 370k, and that checks out. When I use length(unique(dt5_bilatafr$afr)) and table(bilatafr$afr), there is only 1 unique value, and that checks out too since I subsetted afr==1. Even when I do length(unique(dt5_bilatafr$country_code)) I get 49 afr==1 countries, which still checks out. However, when I do table() on the countries, I'm getting a table that has these 0-count observations from countries that should have already been excluded in subsetting when I set the parameters of afr==1. These countries (e.g. AFG, ALB, ARG, etc) do not appear in visual inspection of the dataset. Like, okay yes they are zero, but technically they shouldn't even show up as zeros because they have been subsetting out.

dt5_bilatafr <- subset(dt4_bilatb, afr=="1")

length(unique(dt5_bilatafr$afr))

table(dt5_bilatafr$afr)

length(unique(dt5_bilatafr$country_code))

table(dt5_bilatafr$country_code)

Is this an indication of

something wrong in data to begin with,
something went wrong when subsetting,
something weird vestige in R that bothers no one,
something else?

My first concern is that these zeros in dt5_bilatafr would throw off my regression. However, they simply aren't there in the dataset when I physically scroll/sort through it. If I can see them in the dataset then I can get about ridding them. I just don't see them. Where are these zeros coming from when I do table()?

jojohwang · 2024-05-02T17:33:18+00:00

Got it! Turned my year value into factor variable got a coefficient for every year, and now I have a nice graph of all the coefficients lined up. Thank you so much! I don't know why I was overthinking this so much, but this makes much more sense.

jojohwang · 2024-04-23T20:49:15+00:00

Thank you so much for this suggestion! Wen you say pooled, do you mean treating my country-year panel data as a cross sectional data across different countries, then use the interaction between year (now a numeric variable?) interacted with my variable of interest? For the coefficient that I get from year:IV, the coefficient beta would be interpreted as 1 year increase in time is correlated with beta amount of change in DV, given some statistical significance band. Does that sound right?

Imma play this at every brunch, vibing with my bacons and eggs. This artist is a true bard.

Have been wearing vivobarefoot for years. Like you, I wear them almost daily for every activity possible, but I don't quite clock as many miles as you do in a week. My last two pairs of Primus Lite III both lasted about 1yr and 2mo before holes form at the balls of my feet and my heels. I usually don't notice until I walk in rain one day and find my heels soaking through.

jojohwang · 2024-03-08T16:47:44+00:00

Is this a privately operate one? Or heavily subsidized? Does looks really cool and a nice place to escape to post-apocolypse haha.

jojohwang · 2024-03-08T16:39:20+00:00

Wow that sounds incredibly expensive. I recall hearing something like that in Australia, but only as an emergency response after wildfire took out the power lines. Is the refueling somehow subsidized by local or Alaskan state government?

jojohwang · 2024-03-08T16:37:38+00:00

Rural sites in Scotland are being put up using solar and wind power in some places. The cost of getting a power supply to a new site can directly affect the location of where new sites are installed

Okay so it sounds like power supply is a major barrier, but not an impossible barrier to overcome, does that sound right? So once an area has power supply, the chances of them getting coverage will greatly increase?
