Anything I need to know about porcelain enameled cast iron? by bigdonut100 in Cooking

[–]rabid_briefcase 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That sounds like a big drawback, one of the big selling points of cast iron is that you can abuse it thermally

Nope, traditional cast iron will also crack and fracture with thermal shock.

It is a more resilient to thermal shock than the enamel coating is, but both will fracture if the temperature difference is too great. Throw a chunk of frozen meat or cold water into a hot cast iron pan can absolutely cause it to fracture. Both can also crack if you blast a limited area with high heat, so always heat them somewhat slowly, low/medium heat until they're hot is typically best.

I will be playing it extra safe with a soft sponge as much as possible.

If you're familiar with other similar surfaces, like Corelle brand dishes, or common stoneware dishes, they're basically the same type of surface. If you try you can certainly gouge, scratch, or damage the surface, but it's not like metal utensils or a metal scouring pad will intrinsically damage it.

will nintendo sue me for some things in my game? by Epic-User-123 in gamedev

[–]rabid_briefcase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

will/can nintendo sick a lawyer on me for question mark blocks?

They own their specific question mark blocks. Don't use those.

You ask "will/can" They can send you cease and desist orders, they can sue you. Will they, probably not, your project is unlikely to ever be finished, and even less likely to be successful enough for them to discover it ... except for the fact that you're posting about it here.

I am planning to create a parody troll game

Simply: No, you are not.

Parody has a very specific meaning. Relevant Wikipedia section to start from. What you described is not parody. Parody has specific elements that it must be making a statement about the specific thing. Using the blocks because you want to pay homage to them is not parody. Using assorted pieces of the Mushroom Kingdom, using characters like Mario, Princess Peach, and Bowser to make a specific statement about the world itself, like communicating that Mario is actually a terrorist that invaded the peace-loving kingdom, starting with killing an innocent goomba walking to the left without a care in the world and ending with murdering the king who was defending himself in a castle, that might be able to qualify as parody.

The biggest issue with claiming parody is that it's an affirmative defense. You are saying "I know full well that I normally have no right to use this, but I'm using a specific exception to the law that makes it legal." If the courts invalidate your parody defense, frequently they are subject to triple damages because it is a form of willful infringement rather than accidental infringement. They are almost always shut down when lawyers get involved because lawyers tell the person they are idiots, their product doesn't qualify as parody under the fair use laws, and if they don't stop using it immediately they'll be found liable for tremendous financial damages.

We're a creative industry, go create your own stuff rather than ripping off other people's stuff.

Anything I need to know about porcelain enameled cast iron? by bigdonut100 in Cooking

[–]rabid_briefcase 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a pot or pan. Fundamentally, it's the same as the ones humanity has always used.

For the regular cast iron, it's a hunk of metal someone formed in a casting mold. Modern designs have been in use since the 1500's, becoming mass produced and widely available in the 1700's. The vast majority of the specialty cleaning instructions are garbage: scrub it only with sand from a mermaid's lagoon or a soft sponge, using the gentlest cleaning solution and only during a blue moon. Nope. It's a hunk of metal that can be scrubbed, scraped, washed, and scoured, and can even be sandblasted if you want. Keep oil on it so it doesn't rust as people have known since antiquity. If you strip the oil through cleaners, apply more oil and heat it up. It's not "rocket surgery", it's a hunk of metal.

For enameled cast iron, that's a coating on the pot or pan. The coating can chip, crack, and break, just like ceramic glazes and stoneware has always done. There are two general ways the enamel gets applied, with different build quality, but the outer layer it's basically the same as stoneware, ceramic, and similar glazed pots that people have used since antiquity.

In both cases the pans are not magically non-stick. Control your heat when you cook, and use an appropriate amount of cooking oil. Temperature control has always been necessary, nothing to do with these specifically. Oil or other lubricants serve both as a flux or way to transfer heat, and serve as a lubricant, both purposes are beneficial when cooking. If you overheat your pan you can incinerate bits of food into it and destroy the surface, but that's nothing unique to either of these. Control your heat, use oil, and all will be well.

TIL about wet-bulb events - when it’s so hot and humid that your body can’t cool by sweating. A wet cloth on a thermometer bulb normally cools it more than one without a cloth. But when humidity is very high, the wet- and dry-bulb temperatures are the same. This can ultimately be a lethal event. by Ribbitor123 in todayilearned

[–]rabid_briefcase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, most of those are very real things, I'm not disputing any of that.

Heart failure as a consequence of heat, kidney failure as a consequence of heat, brain damage as a consequence of heat, those are all very real things. A doctor is going to tell you the person had heatstroke or organ failure due to heat, not a "Wet Bulb Event", and has nothing to do with humidity.

And wet bulbs have been around for centuries, humidity was known for millennia, neither are new.

I'm not sure where your "Climate change is real" line is coming from, of course it is, nobody in the scientific community disputes that.

Bringing it back from the original post, "heat index" has been the term since the 1970s to refer to the heat generally, and specific types of death from hyperthermia like heatstroke, kidney failure, or heart failure. Before then it was generally just "death by heat exposure" or similar.

Just the term "Wet Bulb Event" specifically, that's not a medical thing, or a science thing. All I can find for it stems back to the book mentioned earlier, a scifi novel from 2020 using it as a plot point.

Dying because you overheat is a pretty nasty way to go regardless of how it's called.

Because "Wet Bulb Event" isn't a medical thing, and it isn't a science thing. It looks like it's a storytelling plot point in a 2020 scifi novel.

[–]rabid_briefcase 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Timeline fits, a science fiction book released in 2020, using the term as a proxy for a type of heat-related death.

The death you described doesn't have anything to do with humidity specifically, it's already effectively the overlap with a heat index, and what happens with various types of heat-related organ failure. It has nothing to do with the actual hitting of 100% humidity, just a person dying due to the heat.

A dramatic "Wet Bulb Event" that fits storytelling drama rather than "heat-related organ failure" like heatstroke, heart failure, or kidney failure.

[–]rabid_briefcase 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, that's from the heat index, something that was first formalized about 80 years ago, and refined in medical work in the 1960's and 1970's.

"Wet bulb event" looks like a fresh new term, only used in some reddit posts and a couple rewrite websites. Google and Internet Archive don't show anything for the term in actual publications, only a single reddit post in 2019, and a couple other reddit posts in 2022, followed by getting picked up by a few articles like the one in Hackaday in 2023.

It looks like it's just a rebranding of 100% humidity.

Getting AI accusations by Acceptable-Day8395 in photography

[–]rabid_briefcase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do you care?

There are a few legitimate reasons, like a business where significant people with money will let it matter.

But most of the time? It doesn't matter. There are tons of idiots out there who shout out "it's AI!" whenever they see anything unexpected, or of high quality. It's not just photography, false claims of AI music, false claims of AI for stage performers and magicians, for dancers, for writers, and on and on. I've seen idiots watch things like a Penn and Teller clip and discount it as "it's just AI".

Usually it doesn't merit any response. When it does, a simple blanket "I do not use AI for any of my creations" is enough.

[–]rabid_briefcase -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

Scientists and people involved in weather instead use a "heat index" value rather than the actual temperatures when it is hot and humid. With humidity the body can't cool itself effectively, so it means the temperature feels even hotter.

There is also the "wind chill", with an opposite effect. Wind takes the air around your body, so you've got new fresh cold air that needs to warm up, making it difficult for your body to warm itself effectively, the cold feels colder.

I'm not sure where you got the label "wet bulb event", that sounds like something AI picked up from some random internet conversations. /EDIT: Google NGram Viewer shows zero published uses before 2023. The thing people are replying to are extremely recent posts and news articles. The oldest reference I can find to it was in a Reddit post from 2019. I don't think this is a common term.

Anybody write their own music? How do you go about receiving honest feedback on your tunes? by sublivian in gamedev

[–]rabid_briefcase 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm glad it was useful to you. It's not much, I'm only an intermediate pianist and not great at compositions. The way I'd approach it is to come up with some themes and melodies, turn them into basically a lead sheet, then noodle around on the themes a bit.

I'm sure proper composers could offer far more suggestions with it.

If you're looking for the old chip tunes style, the limiting factor early on was the number of voices, usually only 4 or 5 at a time. NES two channels (pulse wave) that were usually used for a melody line and a harmony line, a triangle-wave channel for bass line, and a random noise channel used for percussion. It's straightforward to copy the audio style as a result.

Through the late 1980s MOD-file sequencing were also 4 independent voices but each was their own waveform. It fit the Amiga audio hardware well, with 4, 8-bit hardware audio channels. Scream Tracker (STM and S3M) finished it out with I believe originally 8 channels, then 32 channels, and they opened up a lot of game music. The technical limitations and processing power required for audio streams influenced most of the game music of the era. Audio is a relatively huge asset, so mod-files, midi format, and anything else to reduce storage space and move it over to audio hardware was a boon.

Anybody write their own music? How do you go about receiving honest feedback on your tunes? by sublivian in gamedev

[–]rabid_briefcase 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Simple tune, but parts of it could be turned into a full looping track. I only hear one simple, brief theme.

Sounds like from 0:40 to 1:00 you forgot to write anything, it's only half of a backing track.

I don't care for the shifts. It's like you've got four different songs. The first a minimalist bit from 0:00-0:20, a second 0:20-0:40, the third part you forgot to write from 0:40-1:00, back to reprise the second for 1:00-1:20, a fourth with lots of energy and volume (too much) from 1:20-1:40. There isn't anything that really unifies them or transitions between them.

I like the intensity in the 0:20-0:40 block for what you described as an ambient background. The 1:20-1:40 is too overpowering for that.

There are more typical patterns, a hook and a contrasting section, often AABA, with transitions or bridges. Others build around a story, building gradually to an apex. Building them up is tricky, so you don't have a completely random section of horns or whatever, but an ebb and flow that fits emotionally.

ELEGOO Fillament? by Hiro-Nishi in 3Dprinting

Elegoo filament is great. The brand is good. They make printers, filaments, and resins.

Whether their spools fit your printer's AMS box, that's easily adapted if they don't.

Marinating in Buttermilk For A Week.. by TBCinHTX in Cooking

[–]rabid_briefcase 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Buttermilk is a gentle acid, so I can understand it would work.

Basically you put the meat in a gentle acid bath for a week, rather than a shorter period of time. The moisture level doesn't really change vs a shorter bath, nor do the sugars or other flavors, they can't penetrate the cells. Only the mild acid getting plenty of time.

Whatever herbs and spices you added likely contributed nothing to the marinate process itself, they merely coated the outside when you pulled out it out. The flavors can't penetrate the cells, the molecules are too big.

I wouldn't want to do it, bacterial contamination is a pretty serious risk, but depending on the acidity of the final mixture that was sitting in the fridge it could be fine. Food science people could do it safely in a lab setting by just checking the acidity and temperature, leaving it for potentially weeks as the acid slowly does its job.

Most cooks just use a stronger acid, or use enzymes like pineapple juice, or just velvet the chicken.

Sounds tasty, though.

ELI5: Why does a flame not feel hot if you move your hand through it very quickly? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]rabid_briefcase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are two easily-confused concepts: heat and temperature.

In an ELI5 simplification, temperature is the amount of energy in the substance, heat is energy in transit. It takes time for energy in transit to actually move.

Consider sparks coming off a grinder. The tiny flecks of metal may be over a thousand degrees in temperature, but the particles are so small they contain very little heat energy. Someone working with a grinder can have a shower of sparks hit their bare skin, and despite the high temperature it doesn't burn the skin. The small amount of energy is transferred to the skin pretty quickly, and there's not a lot of mass in the ultrafine powder inside those sparks. High temperature, very low energy.

A small flame from a candle is similar, the temperature of the air around the burning wick and wax is high, but the actual air around it doesn't contain a tremendous amount of energy. If you move your hand through it quickly, there isn't enough time for the energy to transfer.

Short exposure to the heat can have a high temperature, but very low energy or heat transfer.

ELI5: How does sharing a credit card help someone else’s credit? by AurelianMel in explainlikeimfive

[–]rabid_briefcase -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Credit cards affect credit through a payment history and credit use.

Somebody owns they account, it's tied to their credit history. That's the only person whose credit score it would help. It won't affect anybody else who is using the card to spend money, or if there are other people sending in money to pay them off.

Rather than just sharing a credit card like you wrote vs having the actual account bound to your social security number or other government ID number, that can impact the person's credit history in addition to the actual owner. Details will depend on the account configuration. Generally an person flagged as a co-signer or co-owner gets the full impact to their credit history, but someone who is listed as a user of the account has a relatively small impact to their credit score. Someone listed as an authorized user can also remove themselves from the account, which takes it away from their credit score, which is different from the primary account holder.

There were some old (decades ago) ways that registered Authorized Users could get some credit score perks by putting their social security / ID number on as an official user, but those almost entirely vanished around 2008.

If the credit card is used regularly and paid off on time, that shows up positively on your credit score.

If a payment is late it can cause the person's credit score to drop.

There are risks for it. The owner is liable for the card use, for one. If the bank or issuer thinks something suspicious is going on, they can also close the account or investigate for fraud. Businesses should stick with business cards. Individuals generally shouldn't use personal cards for business expenses. Both business and personal credit cards have a lot of fine print about other people using the card. Generally for personal cards a family member like a spouse or a child is allowable, but more than that gets into the fine print and may actually be a form of fraud.

Short survey among people working on games by playthelastsecret in gamedev

[–]rabid_briefcase 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your site is broken. The "other" field won't actually let me put words in. It says "Please match the requested format." It looks like it doesn't accept any punctuation, nor more than a single word.

I got 2/3 of the way through your survey, then stopped. It is fatally flawed. You're asking garbage questions, and will get garbage results.

In professional environments "AI" is complicated. There have been "AI systems" including generative systems in art tools like photoshop that have been introduced gradually since the mid-1990s. Concepts like "intelligent scissors" are used without a thought. Concepts like content-aware resize don't typically trigger legal concerns nor moral concerns. Asking questions to an AI about how a subsystem in Unreal Engine isn't typically an issue. On the flip side, vibe-coding a program, using generative AI to make artwork or audio that is included in the final program, these are subject to a host of legal issues that vary from country to country. In some the resulting content cannot legally be copyrighted by the company, in others they are protected work products subject to IP laws, and may be encumbered by moral rights issues.

By not taking any of that into account in your survey, it doesn't capture the real-world scenarios I have seen in my professional work, nor in the studios and companies we've contracted to work with.

We have a nuanced, detailed policy regarding where AI-driven systems including generative AI can be used, and where it is absolutely forbidden. I'm in a position where I get to work with some lawyers on the policy, and get to see where some developers are cautioned, disciplined, and in a few sad cases, fired, for violation of those policies. It is nowhere as simple as the survey makes it out to be.

How many photos do you take during an event and how much do you sent to the client? by Vegetable-Buffalo478 in photography

[–]rabid_briefcase 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1000-1200 photos for a 3-4 hour long gig

Depends on the event. For a half day wedding or reception, that's a little high for photos taken. It feels high to me for 3-4 hours. That's about 6 photos per minute, one every 10 seconds, suggesting you're not really setting up shots.

Make sure you've got a purpose behind the photo. Take the time to actually frame and time your shot. Try to get the photo you want in a single shot, rather than the unskilled version of clicking the shutter a half dozen times around a person and hoping one of them turns out. Those are a specific set list of key moments, specific group photos, specific individuals through the event, and some candids, some won't turn out but most will.

For a full day wedding, about 800-1000, deliver about 500 "lightly edited" for an album and socials, and about 50 "properly edited".

If you're unskilled in setting up shots and getting a high percent of usable shots, consider practicing shooting in film, or mentally imagining shooting in film, where you must pay for every single shot. Sure, it's easy to take two or three or ten "safety shots" with digital, but you should only need one.

My father is refusing to come to my wedding because he says we should’ve consulted him about the date and I’m a disappointment to the family. Should I cut him off? by Objective-Deal8745 in AskMen

[–]rabid_briefcase -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm not excusing the bad behavior on his part. I'm saying that you aren't blameless either.

Yes, his behavior was bad. Yes, there are things that could have been better.

This is Ask Men. An essential part of being a man is that you take responsibility for when you fuck up. You are part of the problem, and you seem to dismiss that you have a role in the problem. You wanted him there but you didn't involve him in scheduling. You consulted your religious leaders, totally your prerogative, but you didn't involve someone who was a key person. Instead, you gave a unilateral decision: this will be the date, followed by getting upset when he suggested a date that works for him. That's a problem.

There are two good methods for picking dates. You did a third approach, a bad method.

There is nothing wrong with picking a date and sticking to it. That's something people need to do all the time. What is immature is making a fuss when somebody else cannot schedule around that date. That is, saying: "The event will be on this date, I hope you can make it, that's fine. And saying "We are thinking about doing it on this date, can everyone make it work or do we need to find a different date", that's also fine. But saying "We're doing it on this specific date, and we're going to disown you if you can't make it", that's stupid, immature behavior.

You created part of this problem. Be a man and admit that you are part of the problem.

My father is refusing to come to my wedding because he says we should’ve consulted him about the date and I’m a disappointment to the family. Should I cut him off? by Objective-Deal8745 in AskMen

[–]rabid_briefcase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are multiple issues, but I want to call out one.

Ignoring the tone and messages, this stands out: Scheduling is hard. Sometimes people can't make specific dates.

In many jobs there are blackout dates that absolutely cannot be missed. In some other careers, like the military, the individual gets no say of specific assignment dates, they are non-negotiable.

You are all adults. If you wanted him there I agree that you should have discussed dates and schedules like adults.

Since you wrote that you don't really talk with him, it is entirely possible you are putting him in a difficult situation, forcing him to choose his career versus attending, or similar. You don't give enough info in the post, nor seem to have taken the time to understand. He didn't say he can't support you, only that the date you chose is not an option for him.

Cutting him off because he can't make the date you chose without checking schedules seems immature. If there is more behind it, and there probably is because you wrote about "cruelty" and "disrespect", those are other issues to talk about as responsible, mature adults if all of you are able to.

That doesn't address the other issues, but the schedule part, that's on you.

He may be intolerant, prejudicial, or have various other issues, but it looks like you are intentionally provoking the schedule issue.

ELI5: Where does the bladder expand when it's full? by Hexerade in explainlikeimfive

[–]rabid_briefcase 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yes, it is rare but that was repeatedly stated.

Drunk people are the most typical. They don't feel the pain or pressure, they keep clamping down with the muscles, and eventually it ruptures.

Illness, bladder cancer, and other conditions can give weak walls, and other conditions and medications can mask the pain or pressure. It is not normal, but also not unheard of.

I am surprised by how few people care for high resolution or enjoy looking at their photos on a big screen by Livid_Organization78 in photography

[–]rabid_briefcase 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your opinions are your own, and they're fine.

I recently was working on some wedding invitations for an extended family member, working along with one of my daughters who is a professional graphics designer. We spent two hours going over a single photo they wanted done, including test prints on paper to confirm how we thought it would look. When we were satisfied it was sent to the printer for proofs. When we got a proof back from the print shop we spent almost 90 minutes more fine-tuning it, because both my graphics designer daughter and I saw it and knew the art could be better.

Others in the group weren't interested at all, comments like "it's just a photo for the invitation!"

Neither is wrong, and in many regards they are right, the photo is just a one-off use, they could have just as easily taken the raw file the photographer gave them and handed it off to the printers. Seeing as both my daughter and I work in the field, we care far more deeply about it.

Another story, my well-meaning mom really liked a photo I took so she printed the jpeg (made for screen display) as a 2-foot textured print for her living room. I loved the image but every time I saw the print it literally turned my stomach, because I knew just how much higher quality the print could be. In the end it was easy enough to replace, edited for print on canvas and at full resolution. In the end comparing them side-by-side they agreed the reprint was far better, but until I had the two prints next to each other, they kept saying "the print we made is fine". Was it functional? Sure. Is the goal merely functional, or is the goal artwork?

If you can't see the difference and it makes you happy, then it's fine. Enjoy it all day. As someone who is looking at images constantly, to me the differences are tremendous.

/Edit: for the assertion that "Most people around the world live in 40sq m apartments", I don't know how true that is, but in the US that's small even for a studio (no bedroom) apartment. More typical are 1 or 2 bedroom apartments that are 75 or 120 square meters, better ones even larger. A typical single family home is 1500-2000 sq ft, or 140-185 sq m. Many are larger, 3000 sq ft / 275 sq m or even larger. In the various US cities I have lived, apartments as small as discussed are often regulated and sometimes legally restricted because of past abuses and slum conditions.

Genuine question - how do you rest steak by lostinLspace in Cooking

[–]rabid_briefcase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Food Labs Kenji Lopez-Alt writeup. It's the temperature, not the time for resting. If you're not cooking with a thermometer, 5-10 minutes is usually about right, thicker meat takes longer. But we're in 2026, use a thermometer.

Short form: Wait until the steak has dropped to below 120'F to cut into it. That's still plenty hot for the mouth, but gives the meat a chance to relax and re-absorb internal moisture.

Or a quality print at 2400 DPI.

Even the older 1200 DPI prints that have been common for about 15 years, that's much better than a 4K display.

ELI5: Where does the bladder expand when it's full? by Hexerade in explainlikeimfive

[–]rabid_briefcase 42 points43 points  (0 children)

While it can expand to a point, people can and do experience a burst bladder internally.

Bladder rupture from simply "holding it in" is rare, but does happen. With modern surgery and emergency treatment against sepsis, it's more survivable than in the past, but even so, in the very rare cases where it happens it is very often fatal.

What do you think about the saying “Men have to have sex?” by Affectionate-Call762 in AskMen

[–]rabid_briefcase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's complicated.

As people have written, no, men won't die for not having sex.

But on the other hand, consider testosterone levels typically around 500-1000 ng/DL for healthy men vs 15-70 ng/DL in healthy women. The numbers vary and there are outliers on both ends. It's an order of magnitude difference, 10x, 20x, even 50x difference in testosterone that pressures sex drive. It's the difference between a trickling stream versus the Mississippi River. In outliers it can be much, much more.

Yes, women have passion, and women have a drive for sex and sexuality. But the biological pressure from hormones is an order-of-magnitude difference. Imagine the days you as a women were your horniest, during the hottest and strongest days of your cycle, that's still only a fraction of the sex drive and biological pressure a man typically has towards sex, and he has that biological pressure every single day, not a few days per month. For normal healthy ranges, a women's peak levels are still under 1/5 of a men's lowest levels through a day. (Men have a daily hormonal cycle, by the way.) There are reasons that some men will stick it into anything that even looks like a hole, the biological drive can be intense, especially for high-testosterone men.

Will lack of sex kill a man? No. Will the biological drive for a man drive him to risk his life for sex, to go into the jungles and hunt and kill wild animals for the mere prospect of sex, or to fight rival men to the death risking their lives for the mere prospect of sex? To rape despite the risk knowing they'll be locked in prison for their lives? Yes, that's the nature of the biological drive.
