Hmm. Tried to fix that, let me know if it still isn't working. Thanks.

The main thing I did to improve this was to align your bloodline vertically, this helps to show that degree is actually consistent. The other thing that makes these confusing is your siblings and their descendants - they are distinctly different from aunts and uncles as they have nothing to do with degrees of your cousins. For that reason I show that line separately rather than under aunts/uncles.

Also, I don't care about this AT ALL so why I've spent this much time on this I have no idea.... I just happened to come across an 'explaination' that didn't explain anything and thought I could do better.

 

Made and posted a different version of this yesterday, after looking at I thought it still wasn't as clear what a degree is as it should be so I made this revision.

Lol. Dammit... Hopefully that's the only one, I've stared at this too much already today.

 

Basically the title, just trying to make something better than similar charts that I didn't really think helped me understand removals and degrees.

I don't know what sourdough discard is.... Actually want to learn to bake more - specifically bread but dealing with sourdough sounds difficult?

Having a default or focus takes up less space too. I hate wasting food so I sometimes don't buy new or unusual things because I worry I won't use it more than once...

Have a batter recipe?

Relatable lol. For me it's salt and oil, can't ever remember how much I have but wouldn't want to run out. I also have way more beans than anyone needs in their house.

Some items I have right now that maybe aren't in every pantry.

Dried fruit (pineapples, mango, nectarines + the more typical raisins) chopped up for salads or as toppings on oatmeal or whatever.

Bulgar wheat and pearl barley that I mostly use as a base for grain salads but also as a replacement for rice just to mix things up.

Corn meal, use this for polenta but also as a non stick coating for bread or pizza dough.

Like to always have a can of coconut milk on hand for soups or whatever comes up.

Powdered milk, fresh always goes bad before I use it so I keep this for baking or making cream sauces.

Outside of the typical spices (in US) I keep mesquite powder and pure msg.

Edit: Tahini & canned chickpeas. Hummus is easy with these on hand and I can also use Tahini to make other dressings. I use chickpeas to bulk out pasta dishes or to make chickpea salad (sandwich filling). I also make homemade mayo with the bean water.

What do you do with clam juice? Only one of those I have is adobo, I should use that more but I tend to forget I have it...

 

What do you always have on hand? Why?

I'd count refrigerated items as pantry staples if they keep for longer than a couple weeks.

One recent addition to my pantry has been dried chillies - great base for red chile sauce for enchiladas. Those plus maseca and some beans (also both staples) and I have a base for amazing enchiladas or tacos or whatever.

I'd change from 'well stocked' to what is in your pantry.

  • Easy mode : What is in your dream pantry.

  • Normal Mode : What is in your pantry after a typical trip grocery shopping.

  • Hard Mode : What is in your pantry right now (pics or it didn't happen).

  • Nightmare : Only items in your pantry you haven't used in the last 2 weeks.

I knew an older guy that would always tell me, "Be good. If you can't be good be careful". He also phrased the OP statement as, "One crime at a time".

Oat milk is made by blending/soaking oats in water and then straining off the liquid. It brings creamy richness to coffee. It also works well steamed which is good for lattes and other espresso based drinks.

This was specific to calculus homework but it has turned out to be very good advice, "when you don't know what to do, do something". Often decisions can be paralyzing or problems can feel insurmountable but doing nothing is a choice. Very rarely is it the best one.

 

So I have struggled with classes and objects but think I'm starting to get it...? As part of a short online class I made a program that asked a few multiple choice questions and returns a score. To do this there are a few parts.

  1. Define some inputs as lists of strings ((q, a), (q2, a2),...). The lists contain the questions and answers. This will be used as input and allows an easy way to change questions, add them, whatever.

  2. Create a class that takes in the list and creates objects - the objects are a question and it's answer.

  3. Create a new list that uses that class to store the objects.

  4. Define a function that iterates over the list full of question/answer objects, and then asks the user the questions and tallies the score.

Number 2 is really what I am wondering about, is that generally what a class and object are? I would use an analogy of a factory being a class. It takes in raw materials (or pre-made parts) and builds them into standard objects. Is this a reasonable analogy of what a class is?

 

Just started as in, I'm about an hour into a 4 hour intro video. Seeing two basic ways of manipulating things and don't understand the difference.

If I want to know the length of a string and I just guess at how to do it I would try one of these two things,

  1. Len(string)
  2. string.len()

What is the difference between these types of statements? How do I think about this to know which one I should expect to work?

 

I think this episode is part one of the holonovel followed by the second part during the second half. The only break we take from seeing the holonovel be played is when they tell captain Janeway (where she implies that she has to be made to look good) about the first half and when Tom and Tuvok are in the mess hall being hassled by everyone who wants to help write the second half.

Tom and Tuvok write the ending off screen (there is dialog where they argue about a logical ending or a wild twist). The Twist is that part two picks up with the player of the novel meeting Tuvok in the hallway to go to the holodeck to help write the ending. When the player gets there they then get attacked by Seska and get to help rescue Voyager while novel character Janeway helps save the day by brilliantly editing the simulation (in a holonovel simulation).
