  • I don’t want to argue

    Is this true? Doesn’t seem true.

    I gave you a reasonable explaination as to why a slight difference in pan volume wasn’t a particularly meaningful criticism of the less voluminous pan, particularly when it has the other characteristic you want: more edges per volume of brownies.

    This is maybe as plainly as I can say it, you’ll be able to fit your standard “pan of brownies” recipe in both pans, without folding space, or having to tune your recipe down by some awkward amount. If your recipe can’t fit in one, you probably shouldn’t go single in the other even if you physically can, and are in for multiple pans or cycles anyway.


  • Originally bringing total pan volume into it confused me, a baking pan has an upper limit to how much brownie you can bake per cycle in it, but by the time you are anywhere near that limit you are probably already better off using a second pan.

    The example brownies from the picture are nowhere near that limit, so if there was a moderate but significant decrease in the volume of the pan in the change to the squares It doesn’t seem like it should be a problem even on a per cycle basis. Even so, the cost of doing an additional cycle of baking is not that high anyways.

    The main factor in how much volume of brownie you make will be the amount of brownie batter you make. Non-euclidean space isn’t required to bake an additional 25% or so of brownies by volume in that pan, and so your reply seemed snide, and I responded kurtly.










  • The Beatles are so ubiquitous and generally acclaimed though, you don’t really have to go out of your way to encounter their music or artifice of their cultural legacy. If people always want to argue with you about it, or are obstinate when you would like to listen to something else? Then I can see pretty easily how someone’s distaste for them could grow over time until they would describe it as hate.


  • I think Ken Buck, being a political insider, also probably knew that the media would run with that quote; and that the paranoia it would inspire would fuck with the republicans in the house who made him want to leave in the first place.

    If the house republican leadership also starts exerting pressure to stay on those it perceives as weak links; it may drive some of them out, partially as a result of this statement.

    Edit: spelling
