Human: Academic survey about activities during COVID-19: Tell us about your baking! (mod-approved) Hi everyone! I’m a PhD student at the University of Buckingham, and I would like to invite you to participate in a survey about hobbies and activities during COVID-19. We’re looking for people with a range of different interests and would really love to hear from some people who are into baking. It doesn’t matter if you’ve just started or if you’ve been doing it for a while -- everyone is welcome. The only requirement is that you have to be age 16+. If you’re interested, the survey should take about 10 minutes and can be accessed below: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/covid-activities I would be really grateful for your help. Thanks so much and please let me know if you have any questions. Assistant: Woohoo! Nerds who bake! My favorite lol. Done :) Good luck!

Human: PA - neighbor’s packages keep getting dropped off at my elderly parents’ house, neighbor threatens to sue This is taking place at my elderly parents’s house in PA. Their address and their next-door neighbors’ address is similar (two numbers switched) The neighbors packages accidentally are getting delivered to my parents’ address. (All carriers: USPS, amazon, UPS, Fedex) My elderly parents are not able to, nor want to, message/call the neighbors on a daily basis to get their mail. The neighbors also have been aggressive about other issues and are generally unpleasant. The neighbors also seem to be getting delivery notifications, so they know the packages are delivered at their house or my parents house. The two houses do not have a sidewalk and are on a busy street, so it’s not incredibly easy for people to walk from house to house. They just sent a message threatening legal action because my parents are not notifying them every package they receive. They are also saying that failure to notify them is interfering with the proper delivery of mail and is illegal. Is it on the neighbors to notify the shipping agents of the error? My parents have no problem with them coming by to pick up the packages that are left, untouched, on their front stoop. How should my parents respond? Assistant: "DOES NOT LIVE HERE" Proceed to drop off at your local dropbox.

Human: [Marvel/DC] If J. Jonah Jameson had existed in a similar capacity the DC universe, which powered individual would take the place of Spider-Man as the focus of his obsession? Assistant: The Flash. Batman doesn't have superpowers and isn't loved by his city. Superman, Martian Manhunter, and Cyborg don't wear masks. Wonder Woman and Aquaman don't hide their identity. Green Lantern is basically space police. The Flash has the closest dynamic to his City similar to Spider-Mans. Has superpowers, hides his identity under a mask, is beloved by his city. JJJ would inherently distrust him.	Human: [Marvel/DC] If J. Jonah Jameson had existed in a similar capacity the DC universe, which powered individual would take the place of Spider-Man as the focus of his obsession?

Human: Looking at suicide statistically; is there a correlation between intelligence and suicide? There was a rather humorous joke in the movie 'The Guard' in regards to this, I was just wondering if there is any correlation between intelligence and suicide? If not, are there any statistically significant relationships between suicide and anything other than depression? Much thanks! Assistant: I don't have much background in this but, this study seems to suggest lower IQ = higher suicide. source 1 However, we need to keep in mind this is only Swedish men, it does not account for women/other cultures. Also IQ test ~~reliability~~ validity is also heavily debated.	Human: Looking at suicide statistically; is there a correlation between intelligence and suicide?

Human: Cheapest and safest way to keep a large device always warm? Hello. Ok, so I’ve got a large industrial printer (maybe 2 meters long, half a meter wide) for printing…well, large posters. Anyway, it is currently in an old house where nobody lives, and the house has poor insulation. I am trying to find a way to keep the printer warm so the ink does not freeze. Currently, all I did was to cover it with a bunch of blankets. The house uses portable heaters, but I am afraid if I leave them on while I am not there, there is a fire hazard. Same goes for electric blankets. Would an air conditioning device be the cheapest way? Problem is, people say ACs are not that efficient during winter. Assistant: Electric blankets are quite safe and would likely be the most efficient.	Human: Cheapest and safest way to keep a large device always warm? Hello.

Human: Is earth curvature a problem for the 170km line city ? If they were to really build that 170km building, would it be long enough that architect would need to take into account the earth curvature ? And how would they approach such challenge? Assistant: If you build in sections youre going to need expansion joints anyway, like a highway?	Human: Is earth curvature a problem for the 170km line city ? If they were to really build that 170km building, would it be long enough that architect would need to take into account the earth curvature ? And how would they approach such challenge? Assistant: Possibly. On the railways in the UK we often use a coordinate system called SnakeGrid that takes into account the curvature of the earth. The first link below gives a brief summary of what the general issues are when using standard coordinate systems on long linear projects and the second link describes the solution SnakeGrid implements. https://snakegrid.org/technical-zone/whats-the-problem https://snakegrid.org/technical-zone/the-snakegrid-solution	0.123191
Human: What are some good or unusual tweaks you use on rather common recipes? Today I found out about Orange mashed potatoes which is basically just adding an orange juice reduction (and if you like some sour cream) to your normal recipe and garnishing it with some orange zest. I like it because it's something i wouldn't have thought about. Do you know of similar tweaks to things you prepare sometimes?! Assistant: If I come across a recipe from a mid-western blogger mom, it's (usually) pretty safe to double the seasonings. I like bold flavors and well seasoned food!

Human: [Marvel/MCU] What is the most minor thing the gauntlet could do that would require all six infinity stones? For example, if I want to make time flow 1% slower, or punch really hard once, or jump in the air, or create a refreshing cup of tea, it would only tap into one (or maybe two) of the stones. What's the most trivial task (relatively speaking) that would tap into all six stones? Assistant: Clone an extinct creature that we have no existing records of. You'd use Space, Time, and Mind to search the globe in the past for people who were around this extinct creature pre-history and peer into their minds to view it. Reality to create a new body for it. Soul to bring it to life. Power to make sure all of the other stones reach their full potential.

Human: If a loved one wanted to buy you a gift card to a baking supply store/site, which one would you choose? My birthday is coming up and I’ve had a relative generously offer this; am trying to decide which store would be best. I’m still on the early side of my baking journey so I need a bunch of pans, and was thinking Fat Daddio. I’m also interested in Ateco decorating tools. I’m open to any site except Amazon (too many stories of counterfeits).

Human: Engineers, when doing task time estimation, do you multiply your result by pi? My dad who is an electrical engineer told me about doing this once. Was just curious if this was an informal standard.

My dad who is an electrical engineer told me about doing this once. Was just curious if this was an informal standard. Assistant: I read a good formula for it. T estimate = (Estimate of best case + 4*estimate of expected + estimate of worst case )/6 It sounds stupid but for me that helped because it made me separate the concept of best case and expected. Also consequence of issues can weight the estimate it depending on the job rather than a straight multiplier.	0.459737
Human: Those who got their PhD in hopes of becoming professors, but couldn't find a job, what are you doing now? I know this is a broad question as certain fields have better opportunities than others do. Still the academic job market is tough and not everybody will succeed in landing the coveted tenure-track position. Assistant: Joined the Army. Seriously. Ph.D biochemists are a thing in AMEDD.

Human: What are some good habits to develop during your PhD? I think it's very easy to become deadline oriented or just go from fire to fire during a PhD so I'm trying to build some habits off the bat to avoid that. For example, I'm trying to deeply read at least 5 papers a week that interest me. I've heard that taking some time out to write regularly even when you don't have anything to write is good (this might be less applicable to me because my work is very hardware heavy HCI but I can think of other forms of this). What are some other habits that you think would be really good in the long term? Assistant: Yoga. Made it more comfortable when I was curled up in fetal screaming.

Human: What thing have humans made the most of? Be as specific or generic as you like, but we as a species have made a lot of things in mass production. For instance, we have made billions of cell phones, but have made more cell phone wires (especially for me who loses about one a month). So what one thing do you think humans have made the most of over the course of human history? My guess would either be bullets or M&M's. Assistant: By mass I'd say concrete. If growing counts, probably grains of rice.	Human: What thing have humans made the most of? Be as specific or generic as you like, but we as a species have made a lot of things in mass production.

Human: [DC] If Owl-Man is an evil version of Batman, then why wasn't he happy seeing that Martha and Thomas Wayne were dead in the main universe, too? Assistant: As I recall, what happened is EvilAlfred tried to assassinate them one night in an alley, and, when he judo-flipped by Thomas, the to-be Owlman saw his opportunity to hijack the assassination attempt and give himself an early inheritance. Though it's not quite as dark as what happened to Bizarro Batman (he doesn't exist. His parents shot him in an alley when he was a kid).

Human: If the engines in cars waste 70% of energy as heat, why don’t we reclaim that? This may be a stupid question, but couldn’t we use thermoelectric generators to reclaim some of this lost energy?

Human: Why aren't you working on your ideas? A few days ago, I asked a question here, "What's a realistic invention you wish someone would bring to market?"A link to it is here. It got almost 400 comments and many great ideas. Yet, in my day job, I talk to a lot of engineers that have great ideas and spend zero time developing them. Is it because school teaches engineers to solve problems brought to them rather than developing their own? Is it the effort involved? Is it the lack of knowing how to sell? Why aren't more engineers taking leadership of ideas? Who else is going to do it? To share, I've taken a couple shots, one was building something similar to Uber, but earlier. It stemmed from a friend's limo business, but I actually didn't come from a software background. I hacked a prototype together with some decent design and I had some meetings with big investors, but failed to get funding to continue. I didn't know how to sell and business plan and quite frankly wasn't ready to run a company, but I learned a lot. And not just about engineering. I also realized selling was my weakness compared to technical, so I got a hybrid role that allowed me to develop both. A second idea was for an improvement in the energy generation arena. I put a lot of time, thought, calculations, and spreadsheet work into it, then found out that it didn't work mathematically, at least it wasn't the improvement I thought it would be for the cost, so I stopped. Again, it honed a different skill set. Neither failure ended my life as it feels like it would. It was a lot of time spent, but it raised my skills and created things to talk about in interviews. It also showed what my strengths and weaknesses were. Even if you don't believe you have everything to bring something to market you could do like Elon Musk did with Hyperloop Alpha and write a report which others run with. When I talk to engineers, they have big ideas. They want to contribute to the world, but are only comfortable sharing with those who will nod along, no questions asked. If you have ideas you want to take a shot with, and need a push of confidence to start or continue, feel free to share as much as comfortable here. This forum is a great mix of insight, inspiration, and helpfulness. I'll add value where I can, and other members will add far more than I can. P.S. As I get older, I realize I enjoy helping others even more than building stuff. Thanks for reading, I look forward to what you share. Assistant: Ideas are cheap. Implementation is expensive and difficult.	Human: Why aren't you working on your ideas?

Human: How long should I let cupcakes cool before icing/frosting? Basic question I know but I’m taking some cupcakes to a friends tomorrow. I baked the cupcakes about an hour ago. Shall I let them cool overnight or can I ice them soon or is better to ice them tomorrow? Thanks in advance Assistant: You will only ever ice a warm cupcake once in your life. Lol. It's a slippery slimy disgusting mess of melted buttercream. Let the cupcakes cool completely before you ice them. Should only be a couple hours, but you can wait overnight if you need to, just pop them in an airtight container once fully cooled-if you put them in hot they will get sticky.

Human: Transgender/Transexual people who demand to be interacted with as the gender they present as, and not their anatomical sex, are directly in opposition to gender equality. CMV Hear me out: I do respect the right of anyone to wear what they want, to ask to be treated as they want, and to modify their body in any way they see fit. However, I think that females who choose masculine pronouns, or vice versa, are reinforcing socialized genders, not breaking them down. A male/female who expects to be treated (or even called) differently when he presents as a woman/man is reinforcing the idea that women and men should be treated differently, and that idea flies in the face of true gender equality. Essentially, I believe that in a gender-equal society in which "man" and "woman" labels don't hold any socialized expectations, the feeling that one "is" a woman/man despite not being female/male could not have a rational basis. Basing your preferred gender label on something other than antatomical sex therefore only reinforces gender label stereotypes and is hypocrytical if you also want fewer gender-based assumptions in society. Change my view. Assistant: Do cisgender people who support equality also have to forego being called by the pronouns they prefer?

Essentially, I believe that in a gender-equal society in which "man" and "woman" labels don't hold any socialized expectations, the feeling that one "is" a woman/man despite not being female/male could not have a rational basis. Basing your preferred gender label on something other than antatomical sex therefore only reinforces gender label stereotypes and is hypocrytical if you also want fewer gender-based assumptions in society. Change my view. Assistant: Do you address people using gender neutral pronouns until they drop their underwear for your inspection?	0.99377
Human: Making muffins frequently, any hacks? My big baby starts school in Sept and I thought I would bake muffins (or something similar) for her to take, rather than buying snacks from the store. I'll be making them once per week. I'm new at baking, only started about a year ago. She likes muffins and they're easy enough to slap together but I'm trying to get efficient at it and looking for tips. For starters, I bought muffin liner cups because I got sick of cleaning the silicone ones. Now I'm realizing my standard muffin tray is making a muffin bigger than what I want her to eat so I will be getting a second tray and making more, smaller muffins. Ok, so other things that would help : I can't pour the batter into the cups neatly, I keep spilling and having to stop. Using a spoon slows me down and still makes a mess. My bowl has a spout but it still blobs out and spills. Any hacks? Must recipes require 2 bowls but it would make my life easier if I could use one. What makes more sense to do, wet ingredients first then dump the dry ones in? Or vice versa? Am I gonna wreck the muffins if I do this? Is doubling a recipe literally just doubling everything or is there anything I should be aware of? Thank you! Assistant: Others have said an ice cream scoop, but really more specifically you need a disher which has the spring-loaded lever-actuated sweeper thingy. You can get them in various sizes, numbered by the number of scoops per quart. Smaller # is a bigger scoop.	Human: Making muffins frequently, any hacks?

Like these: https://www.webstaurantstore.com/2903/food-dishers.html?filter=features:ambidextrous. For one bowl, add dry to wet. If you can, pile the flour high enough to make a dent, put the salt and leavener in the dent, and then mix them together a bit before you combine with the wet. It should work out OK although the risk is either nasty dry clumps from undermixing or rubbery muffins from overmixing.	0.852366
Human: [Willy Wonka] How do everlasting gobstoppers work? Do they violate the law of physics and continuously replenish an outer-sugar layer, or is it some kind of biological matter that regrows? Or is it just ad copy and they just last a really long time? Assistant: millions and billions of laminate layers, so much so that it seems to be everlasting, but you'll most likely lose it before you reach the end. or magic.

Human: Weekly Discussion - Shopping at the Middle Eastern grocery This is the fourth in a series after our previous discussions of shopping at Asian, Indian and Latin groceries. This topic is, perhaps, less familiar to your average American home cook than our previous entries, but surely well worth exploring. So, if you are going to make the special trip to your local Middle Eastern grocery, we hope to give you a guide to help with your shopping. What ingredients are worth making the trip for? What are your shopping strategies to ensure you come home with the makings of a meal? How do you make sense of the ranges of spices, condiments, dried fruits and pickles? Assistant: Sumac. I don't know what I did before I found this wonderful spice. It's lemony and delicious.

Assistant: From the perspective of a middle eastern, tahina (or tahini). It's awesome in all aspects. Healthy, cheap, ridiculously simple to prepare and include in dishes and is unbelievably delicious. To make a quick tahini sauce that goes very well with falafel and many other sandwiches, combine tahini, yogurt, salt, lemon juice, some finely chopped garlic (garlic powder works too) and mix them together. Add paprika or cayenne if you want some heat and you've got a killer sauce.	-0.08669
Human: [Marvel Comics/MCU] If Deadpool wanted to explain his 4th wall breaking ability to someone, who would be the most likely superhero or mutant to believe him about our world existing? Assistant: Excluding an easy answer like Gwen Pool or other 4th-Wall breaking character's, I'd go with Legion since he has a unique perspective on the human mind and would probably be able to tell Wade isn't just crazy. Owen Reece maybe as well? Although he's not really a superhero persay, moreso a cosmic entity at this point.

Human: [UPDATE] I had gone for 1 week vacation and gave my house keys to my a friend to look after and take care of my 2 dogs at my house. Now, he gave keys to his gf and let her stay at my home. She isn't leaving now after I come home. I called cops, but they say this would be a civil matter. What to do? [Santa Monica, CA] Good Morning, guys. This is an uplifting update. First of all, I'd like to thank all of you guys for such an overwhelming response.I'm glad that there are people who would spend time from their busy life to help a random stranger on Internet. :) So, After reading all of advises here and carefully discussing this matter with my cousin, we made a nasty plan. Yesterday night that squatter girl went outside to grab some dinner with her bf. Me and my cousin carefully packed all of her stuffs in her three bag left in in our front porch and locked ourselves in house. We also looked over her stuffs from window to make sure no one steals it. Our wait was over after 2 hours when girl returned. She figured it out and started pounding at our door, yelling loudly to open door, you know typical squatter drama. We told her to go fuck off and we won't open the door. So, finally after 30 minutes of constant drama, she dared to call cops. I was nervous how it would turn out. Cops arrived. Fortunately these were different ones than previous night. First they listened to her side. Then they came to me. I explicitly told them that I was sole owner of house and never allowed girl to stay more than 1 night. She was not only trespassing but also living in my house illegally without my permission. Bitch kept saying I had given permission to stay there indefinitely and now kicking her out. Officer said she has any proof of that? She claimed she had some message which accidentally got deleted. Now the best part, Officer then asked her for an ID. She gave ID. Officer verified it over Radio. Suddenly, they told him this bitch had a failure to appear warrant for months old shoplifting case. Stupid lady was arrested immediately. His stuffs were send to friend's house. Officer said that I don't need to worry and they'll take care of her. I do not require any further action. So, Finally I'm relived from that squatter and bitch is behind bars. What a justice boner! All's well that ends well. :) TL, DR: Previously there was bad cop, then comes good cop and justice is served. :) Assistant: Now that she's out, mind if I crash at your place for a day or two?

Human: Am I insane for putting vinegar in my lemonade? I eat out and try restaurants with my friends on a pretty regular basis, and a lot of places we've been serve very good food but lackluster drinks. One time, I got a lemonade with my meal. It was EXCEEDINGLY sweet and not very "lemony" or acidic at all, so I decided to MacGyver a solution on the spot. I diluted the lemonade with water to reduce the sweetness, then added a few teaspoons of malt vinegar and a pinch of salt to bring back some of the citrus acidity that I had diluted and balance the sugar. My friends looked at me like an insane person but I tried it and it was actually really good. I figured it was just the novelty of it that I was enjoying, so I made it again at home and I am officially hooked. Every time we go out now, I order a lemonade and do the same thing. My friends think I'm insane for liking it. Am I? Is there a culinary explanation this?

Human: Team leader too soon and I'm freaking out, help! I'm a physicist, but I work for a tech company and this seems to be the place to ask. I'm 35 with an M.Sc and 3 years "experience" being a lab engineer at a university. I've been working at my company for about nine months and my team leader is leaving for personal (happy) reasons. A few months ago I was asked how I would feel about replacing her. I said I don't think I have the required experience with the company's technology, but that I wouldn't decline such an opportunity despite the challenges. When the actual offer came along I accepted. Possible mistake number 1. Since she started handing over the role to me, I have been flooded by a torrent of information, interfaces, responsibilities and meetings. The sheer volume of "top of your head" knowledge required for the position is mindboggling to me. I keep getting asked if I understand things, and I answer that it's still new to me and I need to get used to it. To which she would reply that it's important that I familiarize myself with this stuff. I answered OK. Possible mistake number 2. Mistake number 3 came soon enough, I still have my responsibilities as a team member, and because of some unexpected stress from my personal life I dropped the ball on it. I promised to give a presentation on some data that I hadn't even analyzed and only realized last minute that I would never make it. I told my team leader and my boss two days prior to the date, and they managed to move it, but the disappointment was apparent. They also told me that things MUST be done on time for the new date. Since then I've been staying at work late, coming in sick,and working from home to meet the new deadline. My main concern is that I'm just not cut out for this type of work and that I'm too far into the handover process to pull out. My life has been miserable the past few weeks, I dream about work at night and wake up at random hours from the stress. I came to this job with an M.Sc and 3 years of experience, but my experience has been working at a university, where management and deadlines are more abstract concepts than actual deliveries. I feel like I broke the trust my bosses had in me, and that I'm doomed to be stressed out constantly or suffer the humiliation of pulling out of a role before I even started actually performing. What should I do? Assistant: Nobody was born as a team manager. You pick things up as you go along. Do your best and put in 2 extra hours each day on the aspects you feel are lacking. Watch a few videos on team and project management. It is not hard. If it were hard most managers wouldn't be able to do it.	Human: Team leader too soon and I'm freaking out, help!

Human: [DC] Does the Joker ever have any particular personality flaws Batman can leverage, beyond “being insane”? Like, for example, in a fight Batman can often leverage Poison Ivy’s antisocial personality — how she loves all plants more than most people — into an opening in her own defenses, by attacking her plants and forcing her to defend them at her own expense. Batman can leverage Riddler’s narcissism by going along with the game and forcing him to come out of hiding to satisfy his own compulsions. Harley Quinn can be leveraged by her histrionic love of The Joker, if Batman can get Harley alone to talk sense into her. Victor Fries was compelled to leave crime altogether when Wayne Enterprises offered him a job as a cryogeneticist and let him explore cures for Nora, even. The Joker, though, only ever seems leveraged by his fascination with Batman, his association to clowns/cards/amusement parks, ACE Chemical, and his own desire to be ostentatious — and even these aren’t exactly reliably useful as leverage. The Joker will even sometimes abandon a plot in progress once Batman arrives to stop him! Does The Joker ever have compulsions Batman can leverage on the level of some of the other villains? Or is he always a perfectly chaotic mind? Assistant: Ego is a huge one. BTAS, but still, in Mad Love he got out of almost being killed by Harley Quinn by having her call him and brag about it, knowing he would destroy the whole thing out of spite.

Human: AskScience AMA Series: I'm Dr. Allison Kirkpatrick, an expert on supermassive black holes, and discoverer of the newly defined Cold Quasars. Ask Me Anything! I'm an assistant professor of astrophysics at the University of Kansas. I search for supermassive black holes, particularly in the distant universe (lookback times of 7-12 billion years ago), in order to figure out what effect these hidden monsters are having on their host galaxies. Most of my work has been centered around developing techniques to find supermassive black holes that aren't very active-their host galaxies are still in the prime of star formation. Recently, I stumbled across the opposite scenario. I found a population of the most active supermassive black holes out there. These black holes are so active that we normally would not expect their host galaxies to be intact and forming lots of stars... and yet, they are! I coined this population "cold quasars" due to the amount of cold gas and dust they have.

Can previously documented subsets of quasars be re-characterized as "cold" in light of your new findings, or rather are cold quasars an entirely new discovery that requires adding a new branch to the taxonomic quasar tree?

Human: [California] Neighbor keeps driving his motorcycle over my lawn so he can park more conveniently on his patio The other week I was sitting in my car waiting to back out of my driveway when I saw my neighbor drive his motorcycle through my driveway, over my lawn, and on to his front porch patio. I got out of my car, flustered, and asked him not to do it again. He agreed. My father in law dog sat for me recently and said he caught my neighbor almost doing it, but he saw my father in law, stopped, reversed, and drove up his own drive way. Aside from trying to record my neighbor doing this, what else can I do? If I see him do it again but have no evidence can I file a police report? I do suspect he was drunk the time I caught him doing it. You can also see the tracks on my lawn, Showing how many times he has done it. Assistant: If there's tracks in the yard it won't be hard to prove it was him. There's only 1 person who would be doing it. The owner of the bike the tracks lead to. Call the non emergency number and get the cops to talk to him. If he was drunk when you saw him the cops knocking on the door might be enough to put the fear into him that you will call again and he'll get busted for something much bigger.

The best solution to this would be to put up a fence that would block him from driving over your lawn. Not only would this solution prevent the problem from occurring but it would also increase your property’s value and appeal.	0.873217
