Parrots with a stolen dictionary.

It’s not the shrinkage I’m worried about. I know it shrinks. The question is how many kilos would I have to put through the food processor without the pot flowing over.

The prototype exists - somewhere - in my office, but I can’t provide pictures, sorry.

The 0.86kg/l is basically the same as many other veg and fruit, and everyone who had ever placed an onion in water would not be surprised that it floats.

The 0.55kg/l for the cubed onion probably depends on the size of the cubes; especially if they are smaller, there would be a lot of compression with the pot being nearly 40cm high, rapidly approaching the 0.86kg/l mark, at least at the bottom.

I think the 6-8kg is a good and reasonable approach based on that data; I’ll need some more onions for two other dishes, so leftovers will not go wasted. Although I need them with vastly different cuts. But the question is more about the amount to buy and peel, the distribution among the dishes can be done rather simply.

You should see some of the contraptions I’ve done (or had done) over the years. Like basically taking a a BGA FPGA off the board, soldering wires to the pads, and soldering the other ends to the balls of a different brand of FPGA to get something working while switching suppliers.

I know how to cook that gravy, that’s not the issue. But usually, I take a “normal” pot, chuck in a few onions, and have gravy for a few servings and for the fridge. Pot space was not the issue.

This time, I want to go big. I know that the onions shrink, so what I need to know is with how much onion I should start to get to the stated 10l limit to have enough headroom to stir the stuff.

Do they still need a doctors diagnosis to put this person into a padded cell?

Is there still a difference nowadays?

A thicker book, I just read part one and two of one story (“Human Phoenix” and “Human Man”).

Somehow I get NeXT vibes…

And that’s because for every robot taxi there are literally millions of human drivers.

Given the shit those AI driven cars do on the road, I’d rather drive with a human driver. It’s most likely way safer.

Good luck surviving AI taxis at high speed, both for the passengers and the people in the cars around them.

Maybe they should have spent the money on fusion research first. They could have had nearly free power, and make a fortune selling off the rest, all while saving the climate.

Just like the monkeys in 2001. They were so good, the Oscar jury thought they were animals instead of actors.

There is a difference between a software being ad free and a download site being ad free (or in this case, not). As long as the tool is OK, I don’t mind ads on the site. I don’t see them, anyway.

I’ve got a DELL server that I used as home server, but it was too loud. But it worked well, even at an advanced age. I moved the disks to a normal desktop machine (not DELL) that is much, much quieter.

Maybe that’s the reason that Israel has US politics on the leash.

This ring obviously belongs to an AFOL who is proficient with building techniques where studs are not always on top.

I leave it to the reader to determine what is the connection here.
