That’s because it is poetry. Mom might need a psych eval, but it’s still poetry (and I love it).

The button has a part number on the housing - but I’m pretty sure the apartment manager would frown on you opening the machine up.

One idea: find the model number of the washing machine and contact the manufacturer to see if they can give you a part number for the button and/or sell you a replacement part.

Thanks for the details and links! If I ever get around to building my own, I’ll let you know how it goes.

I’m not much of an engineer - my approach tends to be a combination of “that seems like it would be sturdy,” “I’ll just copy this design that seems sturdy,” and “I’m not sure, so I’ll overbuild it just in case”. How did you decide on your structural design/bracing?

That is gorgeous! Now I feel like I need to build one to replace my harbor freight workbench… I guess I’ll add that to my ever growing pile of projects :)

What are the two doodads sticking out of the dog holes on the angle brace?

And any tips on picking out flip down casters? Seems like that would be a great feature.

my imperfect understanding is as follows:

Leavening is produced by the chemical reaction of an acid mixing with a base. This reaction is strongest when the acid and base are balanced (or close to it); the more out of balance they are, the weaker the reaction.

Baking powder is a balanced acid and base, so it provides the best leavening when the rest of the recipe is ph neutral. If the rest of the recipe is acidic (or basic) it will weaken the reaction. It will still work, though; it just won’t rise as much as it would have if the recipe were in balance.

So… baking powder is a “safe bet”. It will still leaven if you use it with natural coca powder (acidic), but you would probably get more rise if you (A) used Dutch process instead, or (B) add the right amount of baking soda to neutralize the extra acidity.

GIANT CAVEAT: I like food science. I cook a lot… but I don’t bake a lot. So I’m mostly just reciting stuff I’ve learned. I probably don’t have this all precisely right. And I’m not sure significant the effect of extra acidity is; For all I know the effect on leavening is small enough that it doesn’t really matter.

Thanks! I was actually looking at info on Dutch process vs natural again today and came to the same conclusion. I was just going to tell OP and saw you told me the same yesterday :)

@GardenGeek@europe.pub, the recipe is probably designed for Dutch process coca powder. Natural is acidic (low Ph), so it generally gets paired with baking soda (high Ph) to produce leavening. Dutch process ph neutral, so it gets paired with baking powder which leaven’s on its own.

Measured by weight! I love you!

‘Natural’, not Dutch Process coca powder, right?

Recipe, please!

Dang, that is really crisp! It jumps off the page. How big is the page? 3x4?

wtf. I can view a post on funhole but can’t view the community. I don’t get it.

Ah, thanks. If I go to my browser it works there — probably because I’m not logged in. I’m guessing Lemmy.sdf.org isn’t federated with .world (haven’t checked yet)

I realize that’s not as serious a charge as the predatory microloans themselves, but it does give me some measure of personal satisfaction to read about their self-inflicted wounds.

I dont think klarna’s part in micro lending is any less despicable than that of the microlenders. They are working together to sell predatory products for a profit. To me, a person selling customers to loan sharks is just as morally guilty as the loan sharks themselves.

In an honest world, yes. But this looks like a situation where the sponsors have the power and can use it to fuck over the streamers.

Sponsors probably knew the bots were there and were factoring that into their cost already, but now they can take advantage and pay less. Sponsors will probably argue something like:

“we were lied to and overpaid. We will graciously pay you the same per viewer rate and not reduce the amount to recoup our excess payments for bots in the past.”

And in theory, the rational free market would keep this from happening because sponsors should be competing for content creators (and vice versa), but the sponsors are the ones with the money and structure to win. They will collude (directly or indirectly) in order to pay less. The less-organized content creators will lose.

Thanks! Now that you jogged my memory, I am familiar with that format… not that I have anything to add to the discussion. My curiosity is satiated, though.

Do you have an example of one of these you can link? I can’t picture seeing this, but maybe I just haven’t noticed.

This was no “happy accident;” G’ma knows her style is hot.

I don’t see anything in the article that states the attack started that morning. It says that i was “first noticed” early Friday morning:

According to remarks by St. Paul Mayor Melvin Carter, the attack was first noticed early in the morning of Friday, July 25.

I’m not arguing it’s China, just that I didn’t see anything indicating they know when the attack started
