Neither are we.

I was preparing a snarky "waste at the end" quip, but... looks like they were successful, and now just decided to do other things. Good on them.

Yeah, a classic French omelette is simpler, but American omelettes have a wider range of ingredients and styles.

Tomato is the worst. Tastes great, but adds a TON of moisture.

so many restaurants (outside NY) screw that up, and end up with flat dough.

It's because I'm no good at baking, but frying an egg involves similar chemistry/math to baking.

I can fix a bitter stew by adding sweet fruit or vegetables. I can fix thin soup by simmering it longer. I can fix a steak by not fucking cooking it too long.

If I add fine pepper to the egg? Coarse pepper? Coarse pepper because I forgot to change the setting on the grinder? How much moisture is in the paprika? Kosher salt or high-mineral sea salt?

...shit, the thing broke when I tried to flip it, because the eggs had more moisture in the pan than I realized. "GARY, WHERE'S THAT OMELET?" start over from scratch

I'm being overly dramatic - and my name's not Gary - but hopefully you can understand why I found it challenging!

Question is valid. There's a lot of science-baced challenge to many dishes.

Omelette.

So many factors: fat-to-air ratio, time whisking, time resting, egg by itself vs. adding ingredients, pan temperature, length of heat exposure... And that's just chemistry. That doesn't even take into account the physics of folding and lifting.

You're better off getting an 8bitdo controller with Hall or TMR sticks.

Of course the search is scientifically feasible.

Searching is literally something that many, many scientists do.

 

Edit: I love how this one got a solid mix of actual advice + shitposts.

 

Hello! New to Bazzite, and have a system running great. There's just one thing I'm having trouble with: I want the system to wake up from a sleep state when it detects signal from a keyboard/mouse.

I tried following this guide: https://askubuntu.com/questions/848698/wake-up-from-suspend-using-usb-device

It seems straightforward enough, and even though that's Ubuntu, I saw buses were set to "disabled." So I tried writing the rc.local, but it still won't wake up, even though the devices have power.

Am I missing something? Or can anyone point me to a better reference? Thanks in advance.

 

As an added bonus, it literally looks like shit, too!

 

I sat there for a long while before the crying began, resonating up from beneath the creaky floorboards - and I smiled, a toothy grin slowly spreading across my face... because I knew my work was only just beginning.

 

Had nearly all the parts lying around, so I put this thing together.

I wanted to add stereo speakers, but it's hard to find good wiring diagrams for such a niche thing. So, mono for now.

The motherboard has a bad cartridge slot. So I designed and printed a custom speaker holder that fits into the cartridge slot. All pressure fitted, no glue.

Everything works so far. Just waiting for a new shoulder button/SD slot cable, so I can finish it up and load up some GBA games. :)

A few years ago, LXLE was my distro of choice for older hardware.

I haven't used it in a while, and now I'm trying to revive an HP Stream (AMD/4GB RAM/32GB SSD).

Anything else I might want to try first, or is LXLE still considered good for lightweight/feature rich?
