I love Ape, and think he’s one of the best devs out there.

I don’t mind paid DLC like Elden Ring or Factorio 2.0, when it’s basically a whole complete game on top of it. But anything micro transaction can go right to hell

Update: sorry to be an OP who didn’t deliver. My buddy never made the measurement. I’m hoping he will. Sorry everyone!

This is all I found on their site about it, which aligns but isn’t as much detail as I hoped

With standard and heavy duty foil, it’s perfectly fine to place your food on either side so you can decide if you prefer to have the shiny or dull side facing out.

Okay, my buddy is gonna take foil tomorrow and run it over the profilometer (?) tomorrow and see. I’ll report back with more numbers and less hand waving when I have it

Correct. Just a manufacturing decision. It looks a lot more different than it actually is.

Former process engineer in an aluminum factory. Aluminum foil is only shiny on one side and duller on the other for process reasons, not for any “turn this part towards baking, etc” reasons.

It’s just easier to double it on itself and machine it to double thickness than it is to hit single thickness precision, especially given how much more tensile strength it gives it.

Also, our QA lab did all kinds of tests on it to settle arguments. The amount of heat reflected/absorbed between the two sides is trivially small. But if you like one side better you should wrap it that way, for sure!

I just wanna say that as someone who designs user interfaces for a living, I always do whatever I can to play with UI/UX in my normal life.

At a gas station, playing ads, I always start tapping and holding the little buttons near the screen. Almost always holding 2 across from each other goes into a mode where it shuts up, and continues pumping. Plus it’s like a fun little arms race of a game for me.

I really liked the anime, but am enjoying the live action. It’s not silly, which is a little of a bummer. A few plot lines are moved around or missing, but the bending looks good, the story is largely right so far (though season 2 will test that better), and the writing/acting is good enough for me.

It’s not better than the anime, but it’s a nice addition

This is why you keep your safety features consistent. If they want bag close mode, then make it where you hold instead of press a button or something. It “happening automatically” is just unpredictable to most, not magical

Your “why bother” sentiment reminds me of this

Did you hear what happened to the cyber criminal?
