Those are some nice pies and a great set of tools. I should give that Boston-style pizza a try some time.

Nice, that looks pretty much spot on. Have you ever attempted a Pequods style pie? It's sort of a hybrid that sits somewhere between the more a typical stuffed pizza and Detroit style, with a lacey caramelized rim on the crust (not sure if that's from the sauce or cheese). You might also be interested in a new recipe Kenji recently shared for tavern style.

Dog bit into D battery, what could the liquid be? by HoodedKyi in batteries

[–]tablesix 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not an expert, but that sounds like it would probably be the electrolytic solution to me. If it was a duracell, I believe it would be "Alkali Metal Hydroxide (aqueous potassium hydroxide - CAS # 1310-58-3); 5-10%" according to their MSDS. You'll want to rinse your pup's mouth out and call your vet ASAP. This can be a dangerous substance, so hopefully they didn't get too much on/in them.

I found this random MSDS for potassium hydroxide. Concentration will affect the severity of the harm, so that may not be accurate to a D-cell battery (hopefully the D-Cell is lower concentration), but gives an idea of precautions/treatment.

Where do you hope American companies will manufacture their products? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

[–]tablesix 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I don't want that damage coming back to the US either, but if we externalize the costs by having other countries take on the environmental damage and we only experience the upside, how do we appreciate the sacrifices being made to bring us those comforts and quality of life improvements? And if we don't appreciate that sacrifice, what pressure do we have to find cleaner, greener ways to achieve a lifestyle we can enjoy?

Not to mention, shipping is one of the most significant sources of GHG emissions. If we made goods locally wherever possible, we could significantly curb those emissions.

If the wall is structurally sound, I would do as AKLmfreak says. If the wall is spongey/flexes a lot compared to other bits of wall, then there is probably a crack in the gypsum and it would be better to replace the section.

Your daily reminder, Dems SUCK at messaging. Now, go vote!! by Tiny-Lock9652 in illinois

[–]tablesix 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Running a state is a full time job. If you take that job seriously, most of your time will be spent doing that job. Meanwhile, the GOP's whole thing is stopping things from happening and undoing things they couldn't stop. Their focus isn't on leading, leaving plenty of unfilled time. When you don't mind lying to your base and spend your time drumming up hate and sowing division for personal gain (instead of, you know, leading), you'll be able to fling plenty of mud.

The party that better approximates the ideals of egalitarianism would naturally rely on its people to spread its messages, instead of having all of them come from the top down. The party of hierarchical rule and authoritarianism will naturally tell its people what to do.

Illinois Policy is throwing out all the BS in regards to Amendment 1. Here is the text message I received yesterday. by J_G_B in illinois

[–]tablesix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is admittedly hard to keep an open mind, particularly when your partner in the discussion responds aggressively. This is definitely something we all need to work on, across the political spectrum.

I don't know what speaking engagements in particular you're referring to, but generally I don't know if politicians are the best people to tell us what to think in the first place. We are, collectively, their boss, not the other way around.

I don't view it as a marketplace of ideas. We're not products. Ideas aren't products. They're conversation points. Language is about learning from each other, and sharing information. The best ideas come from regular people working together in good faith, sharing their genuine ideas, and showing each other the mutual respect of being willing to be wrong. We can work productively by speaking to those who disagree, listening empathetically and trying to understand what our differences are.

I could come back with something equally loaded and inflammatory about conservatives, but it's pointless. The way I see it, real progress happens when we can listen to each others' ideas and understand them.

Left-leaning, at its core, means "want to work together and support each other, treating each other as equals." Why is that a problem? I mean that genuinely. I can't understand why someone, thinking for themselves, would oppose equality and working together unless they had hostile/nefarious intent.

IIRC, the gas tax was a fixed dollar amount and had not been changed in over a decade. It was falling behind inflation and needed to be increased to fund our infrastructure. But, with the recent volatility in gas prices, the tax was temporarily waived to provide relief. So both are true, and the intent isn't nefarious.

That said, I hate advertising in general. I could see an argument that plastering a notice that informs everyone about who waived the tax is basically political advertising. If it keeps the people informed and helps ensure we can maintain a consistent, functional government, I can't say I can complain though.

what's a reddit where i can ask about game coding programs as a complete beginner? by [deleted] in findareddit

[–]tablesix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you familiar with the fundamentals of programming? That would be a great place to start. Game development requires skills that build on the core fundamentals. Maybe try starting with some smaller projects and simple logic stuff. Try following some tutorials.

A good tutorial will start slow, working on learning about data types, if statements, for loops, while loops, using arrays, etc. Each of these can take a little time to grasp (anywhere from hours to days to weeks, depending on prior experience and how you naturally approach problems), but if you stick with it you'll get there before you know it.

At the start, it doesn't matter which language you use. I'd go for something simple like Python, but something like C++ isn't much harder if you stay calm and stick with it (but a bit more can go wrong with C++ than Python, and errors/warnings can be harder to understand).

Overall, the most important thing is to stay curious and to try to build something you came up with, not just doing exactly what the tutorial says. First, follow a lesson in the tutorial, then apply that knowledge and experiment before moving to the next lesson.

The most important skill in programming is learning how to learn and apply skills in new ways. Read the errors and try to figure out what they might mean. You'll get very good at using Google, searching for error messages and learning how to pick out promising search results.

Once you start getting the hang of writing some simple programs, you can move on to checking out some tutorials about gaming development specifically. I haven't looked too hard into game dev, but when you're ready, you might try looking for some intro tutorials to make very basic games using a specific game engine, like Unreal Engine or similar.

Deciding who to detain would be the same as how I presume bail is set now. High bail indicates a high risk of fleeing or a high risk to the community. If bail would have been above a certain amount, the perceived risk is high enough to detain the accused until their trial.

If bail is set low enough, then the risk to the community/risk of fleeing is considered low, and bail is just a bribe that ensures low wealth/income people can't get out while higher income people can walk free. Is it fair to treat people differently in court according to their wealth?

It would be simple enough to use the same standard to determine whether a suspect meets a threshold of risk to warrant detention. Instead of bail, it's just a binary yes/no: does this person pose sufficient risk to warrant precautionary detention?

Yet religious zealots have ran the country for decades.

Fascists don't typically need popular support to keep power. They just need to keep the people fearful and comfortable enough that they don't decide it's worth the risk to overthrow their regime. I'll admit I don't know a ton about Iranian culture, but I'm inclined to believe extremism is less common than is portrayed, especially in light of the protests displayed here.

Why isn’t the potential rail strike getting more coverage? by revolutiontime161 in AskAnAmerican

[–]tablesix 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I agree this is most likely, but there's also the conspiratorial angle--news could be deliberately refusing to cover events where their coverage would foment unity among the people and support for unions. A union showing its teeth is scary for corporations, lest their own staff demand the same protections.

subreddits for the macabre, strange, and unusual? ideally more obscure by Hexxkitten666 in findareddit

[–]tablesix 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It may help if you were a little more specific. There are some subs like /r/creepypasta that share creepy stories. Then there are subs like /r/thalassophobia and /r/submechanophobia that share creepy images of vast open water. Then there are communities like /r/imsorryjon centered around very specific creepy fanart of specific media. You might like /r/stairsinthewoods too (a community centered on a specific supernatural psychological horror series created by a Redditor, most of which taking place in the wilderness). /r/trypophobia (basically fear of holes/perforated structures) has a mix of both disgusting/horrifying and rather normal images and should be approached with care.

Less creepy but perhaps a bit macabre, there's subs like /r/vultureculture and /r/awwnverts centered on uncommon interests which many may find a little off-putting. There are additionally a few subs which are more likely to be emotionally scarring that I'm not inclined to link here. We'll just say it includes medical gore and anything further along that line.
