Netflix Season 2 Discussion - Lemmy.World
So I just finished watching the second season for a second time, and I have to
talk about it with someone. First off, holy shit is it good. No complaints, no
notes. Visually, it’s gorgeous. Casting is perfection, costumes, visuals,
practical effects, set designs, it is as close to the manga and anime in visual
style without being “cartoony.” If I said that the special effects were the
weakest link in the chain, that’s only because everything else is so great.
Acting, writing, editing, direction, all of it shows a dedication to the source
material and a care for making the best possible show. The choices for what to
cut (because obviously it needs to be condensed) make sense at every turn,
keeping fresh a story we all already know. When I think of all the live action
adaptations that completely failed, I’m thrilled that we have two seasons of One
Piece as a model for how to do it right. I hope we get 12 more.

[Question] Can I use Whole Grain bread for Bread Pudding? How should I tweak the recipe? - Lemmy.World
I have received these two loaves of delicious whole grain bread. Problem is, I
doubt we will eat it all before it goes stale. I could do croutons, bread
crumbs, or even a breakfast casserole, but I was thinking about bread pudding.
Has anyone done this? Do I need to tweak the recipe, like add more milk or some
other flavor to balance the nutty seed and grain flavor? Maybe add some apples
for textural balance?
I don’t want to waste them, so if this is a fools errand, I can do bread bowl
dips or something for the playoff games tomorrow. But I am committed to not
letting this bounty go to waste.

I need to vent about plastic milk jugs

I need to vent about plastic milk jugs - Lemmy.World
There’s a post I saw on reddit that points to the dimple on the side of a milk
jug, and makes fun of all the people who don’t know what that’s for. In the
comments are thousands of people giving dozens of different explanations, and
all of them are wrong. It is not there to indicate that the milk has spoiled by
popping out due to gasses produced by spoiled milk. If there was enough gas to
pop out the dimple, the whole jug would look like a balloon.
It is not there to provide structural integrity, like lateral support to prevent
the bottles from crushing. The contents are under pressure, so if there was
enough force on the jug from any direction, then the cap would pop off
regardless of the shape in the sidewall.
The actual answer is that the dimple is added to ensure that all of the jugs
contain the same volume of milk. Plastic jugs are blown into molds, and minor
manufacturing variations over time would create jugs that hold different amounts
of milk. Larger jugs would hold more than a gallon. They could just fill by
volume, but consumers are wary of purchasing a bottle if it appears to be less
full than the others. So they add the dimple to make it so that the level of
milk is all the way at the top with minimal air between the milk and the cap.
You can verify this yourself by finding different jugs from the same supplier
with dimples of different depths, or even no dimple at all. None of those other
explanations would explain dimples of different sizes or jugs without dimples.
TLDR everybody is wrong. The milk jug dimples are added to ensure the jug
contains the correct volume of milk.

If you have a video that autoplays at the top of your article, and I have to
scroll past it to read the article, I don’t want it to pop out and scroll down
along with me. It blocks the top third of the screen. Who even thinks of that?
Why would a person in charge of making decisions say “Oh, yeah, neat. I like the
way that works, let’s not change anything.” I don’t want any videos to autoplay
at all ever for any reason. If I scroll past it, it should autostop.
Fucking web developers.

The Lottery is state-sanctioned fraud.

The Lottery is state-sanctioned fraud. - Lemmy.World
I know everybody is probably sick of hearing that the lotto is a tax on people
who are bad at math, but it’s far more deceptive than just a complicated
expected value equation. Advertising the sum total of a thirty year annuity as
the value of the jackpot is simply a lie. It is false. No, the Powerball is not
$248 million dollars. That’s literally not what the value of the jackpot is
worth.
Advertisements are prohibited from being deceptive because people are gullible.
If you were selling jars of tomato sauce, and when people opened them up, they
find a bunch of tomato seeds, that would be less of a lie than the current
promotion for lotto tickets. You wouldn’t be able to say “well, everyone knows
that the jars don’t have the sauce yet. Eventually, the tomatoes will grow and
you can make sauce with them, or we can plant them for you and send you a few
tablespoons of sauce every year.” You’d be laughed out of court and right into
jail, because that’s fraud. You could still have the lotto without the fraud. It
would still be a tax on people bad at math. $70 million dollars is functionally
equivalent to $248 million, in that it’s enough money to change your life
forever. People could still purchase the dream of a better life for $2 each, and
most of the same people still would because gambling is an addiction. You could
be completely honest about how unfair the game is, and people would still
happily play.
And that’s what bugs me about it. It’s so unnecessary. No other casino or
gambling establishment could get away with something so transparently dishonest,
and they don’t have to while still making money hand over fist.

That man shook my hand, looked me straight in the eye, and said with a smile,
“It’s really nice to meet you.” I am, in fact, incredibly unpleasant. WHAT ELSE
IS HE LYING ABOUT?!
