Your Other Mistress


Recommended Posts

We're all top tier computer knowledge sources. What is your other hobby? 

 

 

A thread for your other hobby, or maybe just a pizza thread? Pizza is my other hobby.

 

I started making home make pizza an obsession of mine when covid started and I had a lot more time at home. Since then, I've been refining the process. I now have a pizza stone and a stand mixer. I can make pizzas now that are pretty close to restaurant quality. Hoping to get fat and die in my sleep off some home-made pizzas.

Man those pizzas look legit excellent and delicious. 

 

I've been really taking up learning how to fix things around the house and do my own maintenance on my car (started that a few years ago). I did brakes for the first time last summer and am gearing up to do my garage door opener soon when it warms up a tad.

My other hobbies make computer parts either look cheap (cars) or look like they dont last long at all (audio).

 

I'm sure many have similar interests here however as there seems to be lots of cross over between the three.

Yep +1 for cars and audio.

 

Additionally enjoy being outside. I like things like kayaking, target shooting, and walking.

My other hobby would be weather. If things had worked out I would be a weatherman right now. Like seriously, there are very few things in this world that make me as excited as weather, particularly extreme weather like tornadoes, super cells, hurricanes, derechos, large hail or extreme amounts of lightning, etc. I would honestly have stayed in school long enough to get a PhD with a focus on tornadogenesis and exactly how they form. Ground up or top down. 
 

Especially since one of the biggest things you need for tornadoes are large amounts of shear and enough energy to create a super cell. Though they can also form along squall lines like an MCS (mesoscale convective system) or a QLCS (quasi linear convective system). Particularly during derecho events. Though most of those are not strong and short lived.

 

I digress. You can get tornadoes from events like in low CAPE (convective available potential energy) high shear event, or during very high cape events with moderate shear. You can even get it when there is a * ton of cape but not a lot of shear. The explosive updrafts from the extremely buoyant air make up for the lack of shear. 
 

a note on cape. CAPE is how much energy the atmosphere has per kg of air measured in Joules/kg. You need good amount of shear and around 1000-1500 cape for a super cell that can produce a tornado. Maybe 500-1000 in a low cape high shear event.

Though during a high cape event (2000+ cape though I have seen cape as high as 7000-8000 which is an absolutely stupid amount of energy. Like seriously, the difference between 1500 cape and 7000 is like an engine with 250hp vs a dragster and over 3000hp) you can get a situation where there are very high dew points, lots of daytime heating and a cap event (basically a layer of stable air over top of unstable air keeping the bottom layer from rising/convetcting) can keep things stable. However, as the daytime heating and updrafts form you can get a cap inversion to occur as the updrafts upset the “cap”. Though in this situation the cap is very strong. Basically like putting a cork into a champagne bottle. However, as daytime heating occurs and then things approach night you can eroding of this cap layer causing an inversion. With a little shear, bit of helicity and a cold cold front or some other upper air current and boom, explosive thunderstorm developement. Though these kinds situations can also lead to a dreaded derecho event too. Derechos are scary as hell and can do a hell of a lot more damage. 

 

 

helicity in the atmosphere is the amount of spin in an updraft. 
 

anyways yeah. Weather 😅

These pizzas are way better than Dominos! Dominos is like the Intel Arc of pizza.

First attempt at a white sauce chicken pizza. Use too much sauce on the pizza but was otherwise pretty successful.

Pizza from a restaurant being usually so acidic is a big part of why I started making pizza at home. 

 

I made a white sauce chicken bacon pizza for thr first time recently too, not acidic at all. I could give you the recipe if you're interested.

This delicious white pizza sauce made with milk, Parmesan cheese, and garlic, is a great alternative to a red sauce on pizza, pasta, or even chicken.

 

 

This is the recipe I used for the sauce, if you guys don't have a dough recipe you already use, I can give you that as well. 

I used too much sauce on mine haha, the sauce comes out kinda thick but was pretty easy to make and really good!

My other hobbies that don't include computers are cycling and cars. 

 

I am moving away from computers recently because of how expensive it's getting. Both cycling and cars are more expensive hobbies, but at least I get something out of it. The only reason why I still have a Windows computer is for gaming. But with how the gaming industry is going, I'm going to leave that behind as well. For the same price as an upper mid-range gaming PC you can get a well spec'd iMac and a PS5. Mid-range GPUs alone are reaching £1K+ and it's a joke.
