I learned it by looking up a guide on how to win at the Mahjong minigame in Yakuza 0. The guide existed. It was a crash course on how to play Riichi Mahjong.
I also played a lot of Mahjong Soul after that. It’s a little easier to open a website than having to walk over to the Mahjong parlor every time, but a lot less atmospheric.
I’m running CF.Lumen on Android which lets me turn the color all the way down to 1000k and I’m still so used to it that it’s only “kind of” orange to me. Most people can’t help but comment on it when they see it though. The default “night light” on Android is so weak, I don’t even know why they bother including the intensity slider. It slides from “no effect” to “barely noticeable”. Is there anyone who sets it to anything but full power?
I also go full red-scale after midnight, which is noticeable even to me. Web designers, please check your UI with a grayscale filter to make sure every element has a decent contrast with its surroundings. In the meantime, I can easily switch back to 1000k when the red is hindering me.
I spent 40 hours in the Mahjong parlor, waiting for my businesses to drop off their monthly profits so I could invest it again. It is an accurate depiction of being a crime boss, dammit!
That’s German. The French say “á rit gateaux”
Tesla still got a bunch of scientific cred, more than Edison actually. Edison is known as the inventor of a consumer product, Tesla got the unit of magnetic flux named after him.
Actually, the comic names Lorentz, Minkowski, Hilbert, which aren’t household names like Einstein, but anyone who knows anything about relativity will still know their names and what they contributed. Who cares about being known as “some kinda smart feller” by a billion people if none of them actually know why you’re seen as smart. To them you’re about as significant as a character in a newspaper comic; an easy reference to make to show they’ve read a newspaper once.
It’s not untrue that it boils off, but dilution is the bigger factor by a wide margin. When I use wine to deglaze, it will be 100ml. That is then turned into 2 or 3 liters of sauce, so a dilution of 1:20, 1:30. Or, expressed in percentages, 3-5% of the sauce would be wine if none of it evaporated - 14% alcohol would be reduced to less than 0.5% just by dilution.
To get a similar reduction from evaporation, you’d need to boil off 95% of the alcohol, assuming none of the water is also evaporated, which it will at the temperature of deglazing. I don’t know the exact ratios here, but even a 75% net alcohol evaporation (which I think is generous) would leave you with a 3.5% alcohol (light beer) before dilution.
Relevant Adam Ragusea video.
Edit: the table he shows has 95% actual alcohol loss for a 2.5 hours simmer, but every other method (where you’d “burn it off”) is below 25%, so that’s definitely a noticeble amount of alcohol left in, especially when you start with something like a brandy.
