Rnonymouson Pre-Sliced Bread was once banned in the United States (2010)

Why is that unpopular? Generally speaking german bakeries are top notch, quite old fashioned, which is good. But the taste/style of german bread is debatable.

I agree its hard to get used to the price of good bread, but the question is if its really expensive. Here, in Amsterdam, a good sourdough is around 2-3 times more expensive than store bought bread. But for me store bought bread has zero substance, i feel like i eat air, without taste, which is also costly.

So in my opinion, the value/price is much better with a good bread. Id rather spend money on something with value.

I did to that before i bought my current serrated knife. But as others mention my non serrated would not get through the crust of sourdoughs. And the you end up crushing the bread and getting uneven slices. It was indeed cleaner than the crumbs i get now.

Step 1. Buy yourself a good bread knife. Step 2. Buy good bread.

Rnonymouson DIY High Resolution Spectrometer (2018)

As mentioned below, the main problem is the detector. Most detectors are Si CCD. meaning the Si is fundamentally limited to 1100nm due to bandgap. Going beyond that means you need a different material such as InGaAs or Ge, unfortunately CCDs are not as common or are expensive for these materials. Which then gives you two choices:

- an array detector, which is pricey.

- a single detector such as a photodiode behind a second slit. a detector such as these https://www.thorlabs.com/newgrouppage9.cfm?objectgroup_id=12... With a moving(rotating) grating, so that the wavelengths can be reached by moving the grating.

The latter is quite common in lab spectrometers.

Rnonymouson Yacht – A web interface for managing Docker containers

I have used Yacht for a while to manage my server. I usually used it when i wasn't behind my laptop with SSH access, and wanted to restart a service/check logs/update, and you could do that easily with a browser on phone or other pc. I like yacht compared to Portainer as it is much simpler, and does not contain as many possibilities and doesn't try to hijack the whole deployment process for which i happily use docker-compose.

Eventually i did turn back to a combination of portainer for checking/restarting services and dozzle for logs. Mainly because of how slow and sluggish Yacht runs, also the limited possibilities to change Yacht's default view.
