Recipe Relativity

It says to cut the onions into 1/4" slices, but I'd better correct for length contraction.

My favorite is Instant Pot recipes, which frequently don't include pressurizing or depressurizing time. Even with lightspeed prep, it's literally impossible to make these meals in the total time on the recipe.

Buy an air fryer. Errors are in the opposite direction, thus the kitchen stays more or less in the same place.

99% of recipes lie about how long it takes to caramelise onions

Is it meant to be an absolute waste of time and impossible to do anything in? Because if so, he's succeeded extremely well.

Optimal Bowling

2 Comments and 3 Shares
If you want to bowl a strike, the optimal place is almost certainly inside a bowling alley, although with a little luck any establishment uphill from one could also work.

I need to be pedantic (because what other way is there to be): You can launch the ball from anywhere behind the line. As such, aim isn't just a matter of release direction, but also of starting position. Throwing from just to the side of center along with a slight angle is often better than perfectly centered and perfectly straight.

I once launched the ball from the snack bar. I'm not allowed in that alley anymore.
