Take off heat and toss chicken in sauce. Garnish with sesame seeds if desired. Serve with rice.
We typically use 4-5 thighs, and ¼ to ⅓ cup of liquids/sugars. Add more red pepper flake if you like heat. ½ tsp is a bit less spicy than Panda Express IMO. Makes 4ish servings.

Heat 1 to 2 tbsp oil in a big pan/wok, then toast ½ tsp ginger and ½ tsp red pepper flake. Just takes a minute! Then whisk in the liquids, then the sugars. Keep whisking until it starts to bubble. Mix cornstarch in water and whisk in. Keep heating/whisking to a syrup consistency.

We do a panda express orange chicken copycat recipe my wife can eat (garlic and onion intolerance).
Cube chicken thighs, toss in cornstarch then deep fry.
Sauce - equal parts soy sauce, orange juice, white vinegar, white sugar, brown sugar. BUT FIRST...

Chip bags (or any other crispy/brittle item) have to be filled with air so they don't get crushed in transit. If they filled the bags "full," then you'd still end up with a "half full bag" that's now mostly crumbs.

If you're into ramen, Takumi Tonkotsu. Easy walk from Amsterdam Centraal.

And its not even clear that levels have really declined due to improved test methods (similar to "increased autism").

ISU and KSU both lost coaches, which is probably the biggest factor. AFAIK, just 3 days ago ISU was still planning to play. Now neither one knows if they'll even be able to field a team in 3 weeks.
ND, who knows what they're doing.

If you can find 21 other willing participants, you could actually PLAY in the Birmingham Bowl.

For what it's worth, my minivan is EXCEPTIONAL at hauling stuff. Even 10ft 1x12 fits with the hatch closed. Full sheets of plywood/drywall. Bags of mulch. All handled with ease in my Chrysler Pacifica.

Does PGWE for prior weeks update based on all results to date? Or is it locked down once each week is over?
For example, did the KSU/Utah game yesterday impact the PGWE for ISU/KSU in Week 0 and therefore ISU's 2nd order wins to date?

Yes agreed. I think a lot of product development processes getcreated by people who read headlines, abstracts or AI summaries which misses all the critical nuance and detail.
People who care about making money and progressing career rather than awesome product.

Of course not. And thats not what I said. Use the lab to determine precise materials limits by testing to failure (break things). Then use analysis and experiments to develop the design (more breaking). Scale up analysis/exp to refine. Final validation. THEN release to prod.
I think we agree.

You don't think civil engineers do test-to-failure when looking for new materials or structures? Figure it out in the lab. Then in controlled real-world conditions. Find and eliminate all the failure modes. THEN sell it.

Right. During development. Before a customer is anywhere near your product. Break things in development so that you can be confident you don't have failures during production.

At some point, doing a new thing requires figuring out what doesn't work and why. Finding limits, then expanding them. The limits WILL be found, either by product development or by customers.

I didnt mean dev and prod are separate teams, but that they're different development phases. There are certainly specialists who only do one or the other as the organization/product gets bigger.
My background is reliability and SysEng, not purely SW. Slightly different perspective.

If you can "go fast and break things" in prod, then your product is a toy. It might generate a ton of revenue, but it doesn't generate any societal value.

"Breaking things" is good in dev. It's how you learn what does and doesn't work. But you have to maintain a clear line between dev and prod. Customers usually don't want to be your beta testers, particularly if they use your product to generate revenue.
