  • It’s mayonnaise that has been thinned with water to lower calorie content.

    No it’s not. It’s a bespoke product for “salads”: macaroni salad, egg salad, potato salad, chicken salad, tuna salad, etc. The water is there to lighten the texture. No one making mac salad or any of the others is counting calories. An example of a similar product is Heinz Salad Cream.

    Mustard powder for texture? There’s more “natural flavor” (probably MSG) than mustard powder in Miracle Whip. It’s for flavor.

    In a proper wood-fired pizza oven, the fire is on the same level as the pizza. The only time I’ve seen this design is from ignorant DIYers on YouTube. It seems like a terrible idea and you’re just going to keep getting the results you’re having. It’s inevitable.

    Just build a bed of bricks, and a dome of bricks above it, and put the fire on top of the bricks, and the radiant heat will cook your pizza.











  • All the successful theories were developed from experimental results. From real data.

    This is not really true. Lots of very well tested theories in physics came from math first, and then experimentation upheld them.

    Einstein developed general relativity based on mathematical principles (Riemannian geometry and the equivalence principle) with little direct experimental input. And then successfully predicted the light of distant stars bendng around the sun.

    Paul Dirac formulated a relativistic equation for the electron. The math naturally predicted the existence of a positron which was discovered years later.

    Peter Higgs and others proposed the Higgs field to explain why particles have mass within the Standard Model, in 1964. It wasn’t detected in experiments until 2012.

    Maxwell’s unification of electricity and magnetism led to the prediction of electromagnetic waves. 20 years later Hertz detected them.

    Just months after Einstein published general relativity, Karl Schwarzschild found a solution predicting black holes. With no data at all! Sure enough, we’ve observed them and their effects many times.

    Mathematics often leads the way in physics.


  • I was making a joke. I know what an RPG is. I completed Fallout 1 years ago and really enjoyed it, but never finished 2.

    I just don’t care that 4 doesn’t live up to some RPG standard. It’s a game. It’s a fun game. If everyone would stop judging it for what it’s not, that’d be great. That goes for all games. Hell, all media!

    Who cares what it could have been? Who cares what it’s history is? Is the game fun? That’s all that matters. Instead, we have a bunch of gatekeepers in the fandom who dump on FO4 every chance they get, and it’s exhausting.
