Num10ck, in Conventions for techies/nerds?

maybe pick a corporate sponsor/vendor you’d like to see and check out what events they have coming up? you would need to narrow down your scope to something more reasonably limited. siggraph? E3? IEEE?

Blunon, in What series did you rewatch most often?

For me it’s Avatar the last airbender I just love how wholesome it is xD

ItsMeForRealNow,

That is a great series. The series finale is something I watch so many times.

redballooon, in During travel, what can I prepare beforehand as meal, which can be eaten without access to fire or microwave?

Sushi

danafest, in What are some useful or just cool stuff to memorize?

Simple recipe formulas that are scalable

HobbitFoot,

bigfish,

Baker’s ratios make my family think I’m a much better baker than I am.

Basic risen bread (a “60% hydration bread” ): 100 parts by weight of flour, 60-70 parts liquid, 3 parts salt, 2 parts yeast. Use grams and scale it up by 5 (500g flour), use water or beer for the liquid, knead, let rise for an hour or so, shape, rest for 30min, then bake at 400F for about an hour or until the inside is around 190-200F, and LET IT COOL to sub-120F before you cut in. Or if you’re feeling fancy, use scalded and cooled milk, add 5-10 parts sugar, and swap out 10-20 parts of the liquid for melted but not hot butter - and you get a nice rich bread, half way to a brioche. Or go to 70-75 parts liquid, including some olive oil, and kneed for a long time, and you got a solid pizza dough.

Quick breads: 2 parts flour, 2 parts liquid (including sugar), 1 part beaten egg, 1 part fat (oil or melted butter). This gives you a jumping if point for banana breads, pancakes, muffins, and scones. Add or withhold a little liquid to get the consistency you want for how you’re cooking it.

gjghkk, in What is the worst thing you have experienced on Reddit?

The detoriation of the subreddits. Lots of subreddits, especially now, are not good moderated so very low effort posts, lots of reposts and toxic comments being rampant.

BrikoX, in Is there a way to change default preview size in the feed?
@BrikoX@lemmy.zip avatar

github.com/soundjester/lemmy_monkey includes an option to “Adjust thumbnail sizes to your preference”.

Thank you, for some reason I did not think about user scripts. What you suggested only make small preview bigger, what just make blurry image. I used this one for tampermonkey, it’s just expands all images in feed by default.
Finally what I wanted, I will not press on web links anymore, god damn, thank you kind traveler!

Upriverpaddler, in What are some useful or just cool stuff to memorize?

The Ballad of Sam McGee.

Deez,

There are strange things done in the midnight sun

csolisr, (edited ) in What are some useful or just cool stuff to memorize?

Converting Celsius to Fahrenheit:

  • multiply by 2
  • remove 10%
  • add 32
baconeater,

This is wrong? Taking 20°C as an example. Following this formula gives 48°F when it should be 68. Could you perhaps be supposed to add 32 instead of 12?

ips,

Adding 32 is correct.

linearchaos,
@linearchaos@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, it’s supposed to be c * 2 + 30

Today,

Thats a very close approximate and what i use when it’s numbers i have to think about for 5/9 and 9/5.

ips,
@ips@infosec.pub avatar

f = c * (9/5) + 32

linearchaos,
@linearchaos@lemmy.world avatar

I mean you’re not wrong Walter.

The concept is that it’s a formula you can do in your head most people aren’t going to spend a minute trying to work out 9/5 in their head

PhreakyByNature,

I mean… That’s just like… Your opinion man.

linearchaos,
@linearchaos@lemmy.world avatar

Whoever downvoted your comment is a nihilist

PhreakyByNature,

They’re out of their element.

linearchaos,
@linearchaos@lemmy.world avatar

That comment REALLY tied the thread together, Did It Not?

PhreakyByNature,

It really did Dude.

Candelestine,

Nothing can go faster than the speed of light, not even fahrenheit temperature units.

linearchaos,
@linearchaos@lemmy.world avatar

Nah, the speed of light in air is faster than the speed of light in peanut butter.

kafa,

yes, but that’s speed of light

csolisr,

Thanks for noticing the typo

NegentropicBoy, in What are some useful or just cool stuff to memorize?

I'd do the sonnets first. Less cliche and you can learn one a day.

  • Useful: Times tables/math formulas if you havent already.
  • Fun: the way to solve a rubik’s cube so you can show off
ProvokedGamer,
@ProvokedGamer@lemmy.ml avatar

For the rubix cube one, besides showing off, it’s also fun to learn how to solve it and practicing to get faster and faster at solving it. It’s worth it.

MammyWhammy,

I got down to about a minute and then realized it would take a lot more time to get lower than that.

Pulptastic,

My problem is everything makes sense until the last face. The algorithms seem too abstract at that point; it is memorizing a thing vs intuiting a thing.

gaytswiftfan, in What series did you rewatch most often?

Scream Queens. I’ve easily rewatched the first season at least ten times

Curious_Canid, in What's your favorite restaurant chain?
@Curious_Canid@lemmy.ca avatar

Jason’s Deli has yet to disappoint me. It is not high-end cuisine, but they serve good food with consistent quality. They also have enough variety that almost anyone can find something.

Lazerbeams2, in What's your favorite restaurant chain?

Tbh, the only chain I eat at is a local chain that would tell anyone that recognizes the name more or less where I live. They make really good burgers

Gatsby,

Jones’ barbeque and foot massage?

TheButtonJustSpins,

Elevation Burger? I miss that place so much.

DeadlineX, in What series did you rewatch most often?

Definitely Psych. I think I’ve watched it 8 times at last count. Currently rewatching it again because my wife has only seen it once lol.
