#cooking, I have a #baking question

I'm making a pie. I frankenberried the #recipe from a couple sources. Single crust blueberry/blackberry pie with a streusel topping.

I made it last week and it was good but I want a little more crisp.

I'm going to blind bake the crust. I have weights and parchment. I think I want 375F for 12-15m/light golden. Then let it cool before filling.

HOWEVER

When I bake again "this time with filling" (haha) how do I alter the bake time/temp? Or do I?

Between my global printer setup and my application-level printer dialog settings I've found **FOUR** "scaling" settings (and a separate "margins" setting)

They are all set to "None" or 0 and still my W2 is printing with all 4 edges cut off.

My wife's #Mac prints it fine and the driver has no settings at all.

As soon as I had an #adhd diagnosis I told

a. my spouse
b. one of my kids whom I suspect
(c. a coworker who clued me in
d. oh and a couple other coworkers who surprised me into oversharing--oops)

Today I sent an email to the wider family: rest of the kids (all legal adults), in-laws. etc

That was 3.5h ago. Not a single reply.

They hate me and/or think I'm #brainrot

They are upgrading the #software running a #radar I work with. One of the tests is obviously how good the data looks. The new software has higher standard deviations than the old software (#statistics)

And that's it. They are trying to debug it based on just the std dev.

I looked at one of the tracks and there was clearly a time dependent trend.

I keep telling them and telling them that just thinking in terms of "standard deviation" is making them assume gaussian #noise sources.

But if you look at the #data as a *time series*, you will start thinking about the processing and what would be happening at different points in a track and how it might go wrong starting at certain points.

It's a purely software #engineer team--they know about radar (more than I do!), but aren't #system engineers.

It's been going on long enough that I want to say something to someone higher up. But I don't want to adopt another project....

I have a #bird feeder almost right in my face while I'm #wfh. I keep being given bird identification guides/apps but studying those doesn't seem to #hyperfocus me. What I really want is a tech solution...

I have parts arriving to set up #frigate #security #cameras. Grabbing a still and identifying it a) as a bird and b) as a particular species still seems somewhat daunting (ObXKCD)

Except I now remember that frigate runs a (100% local!) #ai identification thing that sounds like it works pretty well. It can almost certainly tell me I have a bird. It can very likely run a script. That script can...uh....do whatever it is that #merlin does. Hm.

I've been getting more into #openstreetmap recently thanks to running #osmand on my phone (instead of using the service formerly known as "Don't Be Evil")

#StreetComplete is pretty good for walking around and filling in missing info.

But what if you want something more or bigger?

Today I found #MapRoulette

https://maproulette.org/

There are challenges to update things, fix problems, solve mysteries, etc. And! They give very clear instructions on what to do.

Today I "merged a node and an area" for the first time to make my local ponds be true bodies of water instead of dimensionless points on a #map.

"I'm not a #GIS or #map expert, how could I possibly contribute to #OpenStreetMap?"

Listen. The *interstate highway* I've been driving on for 25 years was marked as "unknown paving".

If you can tell asphalt from a whole lotta ground, you can contribute.

Just used #AI to help compose a work email to ask for a copy of something

Looking at the result vs my own attempt...ugh, do I always sound like this? Why does anyone ever respond to me?

That's on top of the dirty feeling using the AI gave me.

But I still sent the email.

Carefully thawed, cut, bagged and #sousvide 'd 9 meals worth of chicken breasts

When it beeped, carefully removed and dried the bags and set out to allow to cool before freezing

Woke up to lukewarm overnight counter chicken.
