air fry it at 450

like is that a Canadian thing? he's talking Fahrenheit, no? get your story straight

AIR FRY IT>!??!?!? what!!!

Preparing food so that it tastes good is soft decadent chaos dragon degeneracy. You must process it until it's nothing but a solid block of protein fibers, completely free of vagina particles.

do canadians air fry steak? is this a unique dr. jordan beyonce peterson perversion?

iirc, jorp says he eats all his steaks well done, with zero seasoning aside from a dash of salt

just to give you an idea of his thought process behind preparing meat

Neito posted:

A lot of Canadians, to my understanding, still use imperial for some things, especially older ones like Jorp. Same with the British.

I think most Canadian ovens are in Fahrenheit if not changeable.

Is this part of his whole anhedonia thing, how he takes no pleasure in anything and the whole world is a shrieking horror to him at all times

Is it like that because he is like a chicken tendy adult but for air fried leather steak and does not know that food can have pleasant flavors and tender textures, and that extends to all his experiences?

It's loving A5 Wagyu, you're supposed to do a really hot and quick sear on the outside and barely touch the inside. That's the whole loving point of paying for A5 Wagyu. If you're going to cook it to medium, save $400 and just buy a non-aged New York Strip.

How frozen should the steak be when you sear it? This is important

Make sure you leave it out in the sun for 8 hours, then wrap it in american cheese and re-freeze it. Repeat this process three times. Then you're ready to cook

When the government builds a building in Canada the construction documents are in millimetres and then the tradespeople convert that into inches when they start building.

As an european who works with a lot of US folks I can sort of deal with imperial for day-to-day stuff, it's weird but it's not too cumbersome to learn some common round numbers like 70F and 6 feet and 100 feet and whatnot. If it was just that, I could live and let live.

It isn't, though, because once you start to try to actually do stuff with measurements, that's where some specifically American habits drive me absolutely insane with white-hot rage. It starts relatively innocuous, with the obnoxious mixing of power-of-two fractions and decimal fractions - once you get below 1/16", all sorts of trades start preferring talking about "mils" or "thou" (different names for 1/1000th of an inch; the former you hear in PCB design, the latter in machine shops). Specifically in precision machining, you also hear the incredibly confusing "tenths" - that's 1/10,000th of an inch, not 1/10th of an inch. From there it quickly escalates into a loving madhouse full of clowns.

In a metric shop, if I want to drill and tap a hole for a machine screw, say M6x1.0, I know that the tapping drill size for anything I can tap by hand is the nominal diameter (6mm) minus the thread pitch (1.0mm) so I can grab a 5mm drill bit. In an imperial shop, if I want a 5/16"-18 threaded hole (18 is the number of threads per inch), I have to go look at some arcane loving drill chart that informs me that the tapping drill size for this is "F". How big is an "F"? I have no loving idea, but apparently it's 0.2570" according to the chart, which lists a drill nomenclature that starts at 80 (0.0135"), goes down to 1 (0.2280") and then up to Z (0.4130"), in increments that seemingly have no rhyme or reason whatsoever, because clearly this was a system designed to be intuitive and easy to understand.

This rabbithole just goes deeper and deeper into the circles of hell. A 90x45mm piece of lumber is actually 90x45mm (plus or minus a few percentage points of tolerance at a given moisture content), but a 2x4" sure as heck isn't two inches by four inches, because that'd be too obvious. How about sheet metal? Here you specify its thickness in millimeters, because that's how we measure small distances. Measuring two different things the same way just will not fly in America however, so instead of inches we'll use "gauge", which is just some random rear end number that gets bigger for thinner sheets, except it's not the same for different materials so a "12-gauge" sheet of stainless steel is not the same thickness as a "12-gauge" sheet of aluminium, and neither is the same thickness as a "12-gauge" sheet of galvanized steel. Oh, and if that wasn't enough, for zinc the gauge numbers go the other way so thinner sheets have smaller numbers instead. What the gently caress?!?

Oh, you say, it's just old machine shop traditions, America has so much history when it comes to that. Oh, no, the insanity is far deeper rooted than that; there is no escape. Not even in electronics can you be free. Electrical wiring in the metric world is measured by its cross-sectional area in square millimeters, which might seem a bit weird at first, but it makes a lot of sense because that's what determines the resistance of the wire. If you want to double the current without increasing the voltage drop, just double the cross-sectional area of the wire. In America, you've got the American Wire Gauge, which, you guessed it, is yet another meaningless loving number which you have to go look up in a chart, it's of course backwards so higher numbers mean smaller wires, and of course it can't be used for calculations. What about microelectronics then? Well, PCB copper layer thickness could be measured as a distance in micrometers, but it's usually not, because that'd be too obvious - instead it's measured as a weight, in ounces per square foot.

death to america

Yeah, and the trades get it the worst from what I recall because next door THIS poo poo is going on:

Rupert Buttermilk posted:

Here's the general rundown:

Long distances: metric (km)
Short distances: imperial (inches/feet)
Height/weight (outside of hospitals): imperial.
Temperature for weather: metric
Temperature for ourselves: imperial
Temperature for ovens/food: imperial
Area: imperial (sq footage/acre)
Liquid: metric (imperial liquid measurements make zero sense to me. What the gently caress is a pint or quart? )

It's really messed up. On paper, everything SHOULD be metric up here, but hosed if I know how many centimeters I am, or how many kg I weigh. I would know this, mind you, if doing it that way was just more prevalent, but it's not. So none of us have a regular frame of reference. I can mentally picture someone 5'5" tall but 1m 48cm? Even know I know how long a meter is (it's essentially a yard) and how big centimeters are, but I can't visualize them on a bigger scale.

Our ovens show both and can be switched. Afaik, we all just leave them on Fahrenheit, even though I truly believe Fahrenheit makes no sense. Yet I know chicken has to be cooked to 165°.

I'd also add that room temperature depends on the generation. Everyone I know my age will use celsius, but anybody over the age of like, 50 will use fahrenheit.

That's because they'd only be 10 in Celsius years.

Shapiro has braindead climate change takes but I've never heard him claim because climate scientists didn't write "manmade climate change is real" in every paper that they didn't endorse the idea. It's like saying the Earth is flat because every astronomy paper didn't mention the Earth's roundness.
