depends on target temperature, and how much gradient from internal to external temperature is acceptable. high heat will cook the outside much faster than the inside, which is fine for something like rare steak with a seared outside and relatively low core temp, but cooking chicken the same way will have the outside completely dry and charred by the time the core gets where it needs to be. lower heat gives more time for heat to spread all the way through, so the difference between core temp and surface temp is less

- Comment on Hate it when this happens 4 weeks ago:
what’s even crazier to think about is that there were likely several thousands of years where our ancestors were about as cognitively evolved as we are now, with language and society and culture, and simultaneously living alongside other now-extinct hominin species, like neanderthals and denisovans, who were likely similarly cognitively capable. makes me wonder if stories were still have from mythology about elves or dwarves or fae are cultural remnants of a time when we actually did live alongside not-quite-human sapient creatures
- Comment on if I rip a fart, will putting a fan facing out the window or facing in from the window clear the stink out faster of the room? 5 weeks ago:
so that air can flow in and out of different sides of the same window, instead of having to have two windows, one with air flowing in and the other with air flowing out
- Comment on Why Should I... 5 weeks ago:
It was hot when I first bit it, hot as a glede, and my mouth was scorched, so that I doubt if ever again I shall be free of the pain of it. Yet even as I write it is cooled, and it seemeth to shrink, though it loseth neither its beauty nor its shape… But for my part I will risk no hurt to this thing: of all the works of ranching the only fair. It is precious to me, though I buy it with great pain.

- Comment on Day 762 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 2 months ago:
the first time I did that fight I didn’t realize there were other platforms in the room you could stand on, so like three times in a row all I did was wait for it to come around to the side I came in on, get one hit on it, and then immediately die

- Comment on California just passed a law forcing mandatory DRM in 3D printers 2 months ago:
not much more difficult to make a much more effective gun out of stock metal (or so I’ve heard), but they don’t mandate government surveillance on the personal property of every person who owns a welding torch
- Comment on Subtitles 2 months ago:
I don’t see how representing foreign dialogue with foreign text subverts the author’s intent. sure, they may not intend for their general audience to understand, but they still won’t. and they must have known, and maybe even intended, that a certain part of the audience would understand, and if the foreign text were shown, they could
- Comment on Subtitles 2 months ago:
I’ve definitely seen movies where common Spanish words or phrases that an anglophone audience would be expected to understand are transcribed as simply “[speaking Spanish]”
e.g. “that hombre is loco” becomes “that [speaking Spanish] is [speaking Spanish]”

this could be two different angles of the same sandwich for all we know. if you pull everything halfway off the bun, from one side it looks big and from the other side it looks small
- Comment on What's one cliche "Moral of the story" in media that you hate more than anything else? 2 months ago:
when the “villain” is objectively correct, pointing out the failure of the establishment and that change is necessary, and then also skins puppies alive for no reason, and then the points they bring up are never addressed again
- Comment on One Standard Yglesias 2 months ago:
oh, we’re supposed to disagree with this? he’s right, and it’s Bush’s fault. because of “no child left behind” we’re letting kids who can’t read graduate high school. now, that’s not to say they should never graduate, but rather that they should have been taught to read, and not allowed to advance until they can

it’s not as bad as it sounds, he couldn’t have even made that many milkshakes in two and a half years, the machine would have probably only been working a few days in that time

he means he forgot to buy their stock, and would like it to go back down so he can get in before pumping it again
- Comment on It'll be ok. Nobody's going to judge you. 2 months ago:
that doesn’t actually exist in the standard number system; there is no single real number that’s immediately next to 0, you can always get closer. some number systems have infinitesimals, but real numbers don’t. and any very small real number with a terminating decimal expression is simply the inverse of a very large number, which is simply a long string of 1+1+1+1+1…
- Comment on It'll be ok. Nobody's going to judge you. 2 months ago:
the only numbers that actually exist are 0 and 1. everything else is a reference to those
