French fries is the standard German pool food. Like, nowhere else do you see stands selling nothing but fries (with ketchup and/or mayo, of course). And they just don’t taste as good anywhere else, I guess it’s the chlorine in the air making the salt taste extra special without actually tasting more salty.

The water molecule is amphoteric in aqueous solution

A water molecule in aqueous solution. How can you tell it’s being dissolved, or doing the dissolving?

Die gute Nachricht ist dass der Bund nicht für Kultur zuständig ist.

Denmark has claimed Greenland for longer than the current batch of Inuit live there. Norse settled there some 500 years before Columbus, in completely uninhabited lands. Those settlements failed, current batch of Inuit moved in, history happened. At some point Danes ceased to be assholes thus Denmark fully recognises the Inuit’s rights to self-determination, to declare independence if and when they so desire. No “unfortunate necessity” excuse why they can’t do it which you seem to believe is justifiable. There’s also no deciding for the Inuit “you must become independent, now”, like you’re doing.

Go, look in the mirror, have a long, deep, thought about who has a colonial mindset, here, and who doesn’t. Who is keen on deciding things for another people, and who isn’t.

I don’t even know whether I understand I just hear MacOS users griping about fullscreen, and a quick google gave quite recent results. Especially with fullscreen being incompatible with other windows on top (each fullscreen window necessary is on its own workspace) which would be highly annoying in Blender. You can configure blender to have file open dialogues, render results etc. in its main window, but certain stuff like preferences always open a second one.

That’s what happens if you’re a) allowed to do it and b) want to erase “time” from the ingredient list. All those dough conditioners are unnecessary even if you don’t use sourdough if you only give the dough enough time to autolyse: Actually have the water seep in, not just wet the particles, where enzymes then change the chemical structure, e.g. turning starch into maltose. Those enzymes come with the flour, they’re how the seeds themselves turn storage into ready energy.

German industrial bakeries have long lines of essentially bioreactors taking the dough through various processes over a day or so, which is the same pace that traditional bakeries use, just scaled up and highly controlled. Also for pre sliced bread they’re baking like 2m long loaves, in a conveyor oven. That American label is the bread equivalent of a beer brewed in a day, which is about at least four weeks too fast.

Use of emulsifiers.
Frequently have a lot of oil

Oh no, not my mayo!

…is aioli ok or do saponins count as emulsifier, here?

So… leading German “Toastbrot” brand, Goldentoast, their “American Sandwich”:

Wheat flour, water, wheat sourdough (wheat flour, water), canola oil, sugar, yeast, salt, acidity regular sodium acetates, fava bean flour. May contain traces of soy, milk, mustard and lupins.

I do wonder why they feel the need to have an acidity regulator, the sourdough those industrial outfits are using is made using pure-bred strains, highly replicable and generally flexible enough to get the exact amount and type of acidity (lactic vs. acetic acid) that you want. Fava bean flour last definitely looks like they did quite some engineering, those are minuscule adjustments to the overall flour mix. Used as a characteristic ingredient you’d use 20% of flourweight of the stuff, thereabouts, and about 5% if you want it for dough properties.

Is it good bread, no, but nutritionally it doesn’t really look worse than any other white bread. Actually American bread would be highly illegal over here.

A product containing more than five ingredients is likely to be ultra-processed

Ugh. No. That amounts to saying “anything that contains five spice is ultra-processed”. Why do you hate Chinese cuisine.

The “not used in home cooking” rule of thumb is way better though you can certainly make absolutely filthy dishes at home. Home cooking also uses “chemicals, colouring and sweeteners”, and also home cooks care about appearance, taste, and texture.

What I’d actually be interested in is comparing EU vs. US standards UPC. EU products use colourings such as red beet extract, beta-carotene, stabilisers, gelling agents etc. like guar gum or arrowroot, when they use fully synthetic stuff then it’s generally something actually found in nature. Companies add ascorbic acid as antioxidant, grandma added a splash of lemon juice, same difference really.

A EU strawberry yoghurt which says “natural aroma” is shoddy, yes, you’re getting fewer strawberries and more strawberry aroma produced by fungi, but I’m rather sceptical when it comes to claims that it’s less healthy.

They don’t (usually) display the temperature but they definitely sense it, and react to it. When the sensed temperature is at or higher than the set temperature, the valve will be closed, if it’s lower it will be opened. Mere valves can’t do that.

That’s what a thermostat is: A negative feedback control system regulating sensed temperature towards a setpoint, and keeping it there. They’re simple, inexpensive, reliable. Yes having the temperature sensor right next to the radiator isn’t ideal but unless the room is quite large that’s not an issue. Also with large rooms you probably have more than one heater and thus thermostat. And you could, in principle, put the thermostat far from the heater but I’ve never seen that done.

Those “valves” are, in fact, thermostats. They use thermal expansion of wax to open/close the valve to get to their set temperature. Settings 1-5 are 12, 16, 20, 24, 28 Celsius.

Can you fullscreen windows under MacOS yet?

Absolut. Sollte aus dem was ich gesagt habe eigentlich auch zu erkennen sein.

Kenn’ halt aber auch Leute die schon vor 20 Jahren zum CSD gegangen sind um Party zu machen.

That’s not deciding anything in the information-theoretical sense. We rely a lot on approximations and heuristics when it comes to day to day functioning.

You can’t decide the halting problem by saying “I’ll have a glance at it and go with whatever I think after thinking about it for half a second”. That’s not deciding the problem that’s giving up on it and computers are perfectly capable of doing that.

But humans can solve undecidables.

No, we can’t. Or, more precisely said: There is no version of your assertion which would be compatible with cause and effect, would be compatible with physics as we understand it.

Don’t blame me I didn’t do it. The universe just is that way.

Only SPJ may use it. It is known.

What are you trying to argue, that humans aren’t Turing-complete? Which would be an insane self-own. That we can decide the undecidable? That would prove you don’t know what you’re talking about, it’s called undecidable for a reason. Deciding an undecidable problem makes as much sense as a barber who shaves everyone who doesn’t shave themselves.

Aside from that why would you assume that checking results would, in general, involve solving the halting problem.

Ja nee die Loveparade ist halt auch keine Demo, das ist ein Festzug. Bei letzterem kann die Gemeinde das Straßenkehren usw. in Rechnung stellen darum hätte sich der Veranstalter gerne gedrückt, ging damals durch einige Instanzen.

Wenn jetzt alle irgendwann zu scheißtolerant sind als dass man da noch irgendwas politisch fordern müsste dann wird man sich, über kurz oder lang, genauso wie Karneval oder Trachtenumzug als Festzug anmelden müssen.

Wird aber noch de Weile dauern man kann ja auch mal so ganz nebenbei für die Rechte von Menschen ganz wo anders demonstrieren. Die Reaktion der Linken ist da… komisch. Viel Signalisierung “wir finden den CSD voll dufte sind auf eurer Seite”, is ja auch gut und richtig, von ner Partei hätte ich dann aber doch irgendwie gerne “Seit verdammt noch mal politisch! Seit unbequem! Auf die Barrikaden! Ja dann findet halt welche!” gehört.

What are the chances they figured out we’re trying to decode their speech and they’re trolling us?

No insurance is prejudicial to the good order of the EU legal framework on accidents, liability, etc. The list afterwards is not exhaustive.

Also who the fuck is going to complain. Russia? International law is whatever states get away with.
