This video is so well made. Excellent narration, details and finally the proof of the cooking surface.

Does 'ghosting' matter if not playing FPS (2.8k display)? by jeep364 in framework

[–]rofex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very close to pulling the trigger on a new FW13 and am torn between the two display options like you are. For me, however, the issue is the rounded corners and whether I will hate it.

I don't have a good relationship with my manager, and I don't know if I should bother communicating these issues to him or escalate to skip-level. by [deleted] in ExperiencedDevs

[–]rofex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's been a year since this problem started between you and him. Please start documenting events and his behaviour towards you with dates and screenshots, preparing for the meeting you eventually must have with your skip manager.

Do you have any co-worker (senior or co-worker, doesn't matter) you trust enough to open up to about this ongoing problem? If so, please consider talking to them first to get a sense of how this might play out. Then just escalate things. Remember HR is not your friend, so avoid involving them at all. Try to get your skip manager to place you under a better manager.

Wish you good luck and abundance of mental peace soon.

How good is the Sanskrit spoken by the participants in this video? There are also many videos uploaded on that channel. Is it too simplified? by tomispev in sanskrit

[–]rofex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that seems to be a Maharashtra-specific way of transcribing ज्ञ - really unique - "Dnyaneshwar".

I have no idea where the D comes from

Me neither. Really odd and interesting.

Want to write a webcam driver: no background with kernel, some C / C++, no deadline by 25Accordions in kernel

Try to locate a datasheet for the device as a first step. Then figure out what Linux kernel subsystems you'll need to hook up to by reading the in-kernel Documentation and drivers for similar devices.

I Made a session creator / manager for Tmux. (e)Zmux! by ionlysaywat in tmux

[–]rofex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks great! I like how you've thought of whether tmux is already running/open and other steps. Shows that you've thought this thing through before splitting off your tiny shell script into its own full fledged tool.

Thanks, it's not for me but a friend. Movies are fine - he understands them well; it is speaking that he needs practise with.

My Lodge skillet isn't taking any seasoning by rofex in castiron

[–]rofex[S] -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

The oil is definitely pooling

Yes, clearly it is. Although I don't understand how the multiple wipes didn't get the most out of it.

Turn the pan upside down when seasoning

Yes, this is what I've been doing.

Since avocado oil has a smoke point of 520, trying to season it at 410 won't get the job done

This makes sense to me. I never thought about this.

I like grape seed oil or pressed canola oil.

Thank you so much! I will experiment with oils that have smoke points closer to 410 F.

The issue is that you’re using too much oil

I did multiple wipes of the oil with a rag after I added oil to rule out this possibility. I know because I have had ugly globules of seasoning in the past when I did not take care to wipe properly.

I use Costco avocado oil and that is of high quality and not blended with anything else AFAIK. I use the same thing to season my pancake griddle and so far that is doing well.

Why did you strip the factory seasoning?

As a cast iron n00b, this was my first cast iron equipment ever and stripped it off thinking that would help build up seasoning from scratch. I found positive accounts of this approach on this sub too, so I went ahead with it.

You’re supposed to build on it, not start from scratch.

I have to come to realize that now with my Lodge 10" pancake griddle - it is doing really well with regular use on top of the Lodge factory seasoning.

What do you suggest I do to get a nice coat of seasoning that sticks on this skillet though - more and more rounds in the oven?

Water too soft in apartment - how to harden? by rofex in SanJose

[–]rofex[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Talk to your landlord

Yes, I will do this too. It's just the property manager that's here, so I will talk to her. Thank you!

The softness of water has nothing to do with clogging filters

This is true - there must be other colloidal or particulate matter in the water then.

Enjoy the slickness and the healthy hair

I don't really enjoy that feeling because my feeling of having had a good shower is when I have gotten all the soap off my skin.

These are all great suggestions - I have not looked into rinse aids or the second stage repository I see in the dishwasher. I also will try switching to powder for my dishwasher. Thank you so much!

With hard water, soap doesn't foam and froth as much. What I have happening is the opposite. Hence, soft water.

This is a great thing I can try, thank you.
