  • What do you collect?

  • I have a thing for gentleman knives, especially those made from particular materials. Böker has recently released one made from meteorite steel which I adore. But since these knives are VERY expensive I can't justify this passion to my wife, so I never started collecting.

  • I have to admit that even this Old Texas sauce wasn't quite as good as I had hoped.

    Sometimes the local butcher has beef stock for sale which is liquid gold. Then I just take the pan which I used to sear the steak with, add some of the steak trimmings, shallots, rosemary and sage, give that a good roast, then I deglaze the pan with beef stock and red wine.

    I let that reduce for as long as the steak needs to get to ~50°C in the oven. Filter it, add some corn starch water and butter, hey presto, great steak sauce. When the sauce is done, the steak is usually at 55°C and done as well.

    Sadly, the butcher didn't have any beef stock this time.

  • Nope. I mean, I do like HP sauce but using it with a good steak like that would be a sacrilege. This was Old Texas Whiskey Pepper Steak Sauce. And yes, I did use it sparingly.

  • Absolutely. I usually cook with cheap ingredients too, but my per-serving cost is probably more like 5 Euros. I've taught myself a lot of Asian recipes. Quick to prepare and very, very affordable most of the time.

    But every now and then I go crazy and do stuff like this steak.

  • Let's do it:

    The phenomenon that causes divers to be trapped is called differential pressure, or Delta P. It requires surprisingly little Delta P to trap divers in such a way that they can't free themselves.

    The formula is simple: F=Δp⋅A

    Δp = Differential pressure, A = the area the differential pressure acts on, in our case the cross sectional area of the pipe.

    Example:

    30 cm pipe => A = π⋅(0,15)² m²

    Delta P only (!!!) 0.1 bar (= 10 kPa).

    F = 10,000 Pa ⋅ 0.07 m² ≈ 700 N. This equals roughly 71 kg of weight.

    Now, let's try this with the numbers above. Unfortunately, we don't know the diameter of the pipe so let's again assume 30 cm:

    Δp = 21.375 - 14.7 psi = 6.675 psi ≈ 0.46 bar = 46 kPA

    F = 46,000 Pa ⋅ 0.07 m² ≈ 3250 N.

    => You would be sucked to this pipe opening with a force of roughly 330 kg. In other words, you're fucked.

    For fun, let's assume a 50 cm diameter pipe:

    F = 46,000 Pa ⋅ 0.196 m² ≈ 9020 N.

    This equals roughly 920 kg of weight.

    => There is absolutely no escape here and I think it's safe to assume the diver would be sucked through that pipe.

    And finally, to answer your question (I'll skip the math here), a 10 cm diameter pipe with the same Delta P would mean 37 kg of weight. I think it would be possible to escape in this scenario, but it'll not be effortless.

  • the abrupt “time to leave” even if you’re not done

    Seems like you went to the more touristy places. Or Munich. Or a touristy place in Munich. They tend to be a little brusque and unfriendly there... It really pays off to look for places on Maps which are highly rated and a little off the beaten path. Some real gems there. I could name a few restaurants in Berlin which serve awesome German (!= Bavarian!) food that isn't repetitive.

  • "You find as you look around the world that every single bit of progress of humane feeling, every improvement in the criminal law, every step toward the diminution of war, every step toward better treatment of the colored races, or every mitigation of slavery, every moral progress that there has been in the world, has been consistently opposed by the organized churches of the world.”

    — Bertrand Russell, Why I Am Not a Christian (1927)

    And since the Republicans have been taken over by conservative Christians, this quote basically explains everything they're trying to do as well.

  • Well, to be quite honest, it also shows how rotten our so-called Western civilization has become. This man not only got elected, but millions upon millions of people thought it would be a great idea to reelect him - after Jan 6th and everything.

    And that's not even an exclusively American problem. Look at Europe. Even with better education and safer social security, way too many people vote for far-right populists.

    Before Corona, I still had hopes for us as a species. Despite all the religious nonsense, the racism, the bigotry, the hate, the wars, everything. I thought sensible people were a safe majority. I thought it takes extraordinary circumstances, the proverbial perfect storm, to plunge a society into chaos.

    Well, I know better now. I'm 49 and with any luck, I'll have 30 more years on this planet, maybe I get lucky and there will be no wars on my doorstep. I'm utterly, utterly disappointed in mankind, I would almost go as far as to say I root for its demise. I have no kids, I don't feel like I have a horse in this race anymore anyway.

    And Trump is the epitome of everything wrong with us.
