Optimal Spacing for 16 spheres in a round pan.
I have always made my holiday dinner rolls in the format of 12 rolls at 60grams in a 10", tall cake pan and over the years have gradually figured out the placement to make them all fairly close to the same circumference. This year I need to adjust that to 16 rolls at 45 grams in the same 10" cake ban and my brain has broken when it comes to proper spacing. I'm guessing there's a formula or algorithm that would illustrate placement but that's not how my brain works. Any ideas or illustrations would be very welcome.
Name this tune (3 second excerpt)
Please identify the tune being played 24 seconds into this video. It's the 3-second clip just before an upside-down Charles Berthoud. [more inside]
Don't run, don't bike, what do you do?
I used to run for exercise, but I had to stop after developing plantar fasciitis (still suffering from it, going on eight months now). I switched to riding a stationary bike, but now I have to stop because I developed hip pain. What do I do now? [more inside]
Cornbread + harissa?
I was thinking about making my Trader Joe's cornbread (from box mix) and adding harissa to it. Maybe feta as well? Intuitive cooks of Metafilter, please give me your thoughts about this, and amounts?
Recommend me a cute, modern craft kit, please
I want to get a little crafting gift for a college student, and I'm looking for a full kit that includes everything. I love Subversive Cross Stitch, but none of her messages are right for this giftee. Who sells a cute, modern kit that might fit my needs? Doesn't need to be cross stitch; could be another type of stitching, but overall needs to be something you can do by hand in a dorm room.

Looking for your favorite modern pop/rock hits with swelling horns, kind of like this song. If you have YouTube links, even better!

Advice for creating closed online communities?
I'm mostly only on Facebook for the parent groups, and wondering if we could do the same thing outside of Big Tech. By "same thing" I mean multiple closed/private communities for Seattle parents, ideally with posts and threaded discussions. Something like private subreddits, the FOSS version thereof. Or a non-Discord Discord. [more inside]
Help me find this "The Office" Meme
I recently saw a meme where the text was something about John Krasinski and below were four pictures of Randall Park. One of the pictures was of his Office appearance, but the other three were not. It was very much like the Jennifer Lawrence/Bear joke. I must have scene it somewhere like Pleated-Jeans or another Tumblr site, but I can't find it now. Hope me, please.
What do I do about failure of email service?
I set my mother's email up in 2004 through easily.co.uk, using a named domain. It's been fine since then, but she has not received emails for the last two days on any devices, and sending a test one to her fails. Payments are up to date. Logging into Easily and trying to get into webmail that way gives a message saying server is down. Emailing easily support or billing bounces back. No telephone number on their site. Found one elsewhere online but it doesn't work. Do I just accept this company has gone under?
Do I need to isolate from my wife who's recovering from COVID?
I've been away on a work trip since Saturday, and my wife tested positive on Sunday morning, with symptoms starting Saturday night. I've so far tested negative, somehow. I'm heading home today and my wife is still testing positive, though the line on the test is fainter, and is still symptomatic. [more inside]
Why donate after the Election?

Fitzgerald's in Berwyn seating chart
I have a table for a show at Fitzgerald's in Berwyn in early December. I've never been there and cannot find a seating chart online. Can you describe the seating there, in particular where the tables are in relation to the stage?

Identify this furious female music group
This one should be easy for someone, because it's right in the top of my tongue. I am greatly enjoying pissed-off music by female musicians of late for obvious reasons. I saw this female fronted band come across my social media feed with one or two women dressed colorfully and wearing what looked like vintage stewardess hats were sing-shouting in a manner not too unlike the vocals in Amyl & The Sniffers, but maybe one tick closer to simply rapping. The backing music was electronic, I think. I think I recall the vocalist bragging (figuratively) about her dick. Who was/is this band? [more inside]
What are these interesting lights?
Some friends and I saw what looked like mini Halloween or Christmas lights, strung over some bushes as decoration. The light was solid orange, but when we walked by, or even just moved our heads, a green glow appeared behind or alongside each one. It wasn't an afterimage - it was clearly something that was coming from the bulbs. They didn't change color on their own, or twinkle or fade or have any other effects. [more inside]
At-home molecular testing
I seem to remember someone here recommending a tabletop at-home device for Covid testing (maybe NAAT?) that’s approved in the European market but not in the US. Can someone here remind me? [more inside]

Alexa-compatible switch that also has a remote control?
I have an old X10 AC control module that I use with a remote to control two lamps that are very difficult to reach. I would like to replace it with something that's Alexa-compatible (I have an Echo Dot) but also allows some type of physical remote control. Trying to find something like this on Amazon's site is an exercise in frustration. I'd like to believe something like this exists, but am I just dreaming?
Sci-fi short about exoplanet with euphoria-inducing parasite
I'm trying to find a story published on Clarkes World or tor.com or something similar, in the last ~15 years? A woman protagonist is on an exoplanet, and we become aware that she's being transformed by a parasite from the planet, but her experience of it is expansive and euphoric.
I think it explicitly mentions the tongue-eating louse, though I could be misremembering that bit.
Safe way to make transcribed audio notes while I'm driving
I often have thoughts or ideas when I'm in the car, but I have no easy way to capture them. I have an iPhone, but I don't want to fiddle with it while I'm driving. I'm seeking an app (or possibly a standalone device) that I can safely use while driving. [more inside]
I'm not trying to be paranoid but
Are we sure the electronic voting machines operated properly? I don't need a ton of proof but I want to understand if impartial experts can confirm this, or if Democrats do some sort of auditing to make sure it was all on the up and up?

Is this quote a joke? if so, what does it mean?

Timesless Wordle
The New York Times Tech Guild is on strike. They have stated that Games and Cooking are behind the picket line, and have asked people to stop using those until the strike is resolved. (Regular news coverage is not behind the picket line.)
What game can my family Wordle text message group substitute for Wordle during this interregnum. We are all agreed we do not want to cross the picket line.

Need Advice on Handling My Teen Daughter’s Drinking Confession

Seeking avocado oil mayo. Amazon has plethora brands/prices.
I don't want to get hosed buying a pretty label and sales pitch on the bottle. I don't mind buying more than one bottle to get a better price. I don't know what "should be" in good mayo but you do, that's why I came here for guidance. I know we all hate Amazon, plz go to the next question rather than telling me Bezos blows; I am aware.

Supportive gift with an emphasis on FUNNY
So my brother's family has been going through a whole lot of "just one damn thing after another" luck this year - my niece and nephew both went through heavy stuff, then the parents, then another one of the kids. My sister-in-law is the latest target. Seeking a good token gift that wouldn't be schmaltzy, but rather would be funny. [more inside]
Person, place, or both?

Need to find missing half of a two-page Jack-O'-Lantern Cookie recipe
Once upon a time, I had two pages of a two-page recipe for chocolate-and-orange Jack-O'-Lantern Cookies. At some point, one of those two pages disappeared, and I'm left with only one. It's a good page, with a lot of information, but it's missing some things, including ingredient quantities. Here's a .jpg scan of the one page I have, in Google Drive. Do you recognize this recipe, and can you help me find it? [more inside]

Can my dad get an MRI with old staples in his body?
My dad's doctor wants an MRI of his lower spine. However, he had a kidney stone removed in the late 70s, before ultrasonic treatment, which they closed up with small metal staples. The medical records from back then are long gone and he doesn't know what metal the staples are made from. [more inside]
I think there's a name for this jacket style?
I'd like to get a new version of a jacket I had when I was younger: a heavy-ish windbreaker with a knitted collar, cuffs and waistband. Sort of like a baseball jacket but the collar came about halfway down the chest and it was buttoned.

Removing Search Results and Photos from Google in 2024
Somehow a relative's dinky but long-lived family website has overtaken all the top results when you search for my name on Google. These results include pictures of me from my childhood that job recruiters and fellow professionals in my industry do not need to see. What steps do I need to take to get at least some of these things removed? I also need to figure out why my website, which used to be the first result when you searched for me, has been completely scrubbed from Google.
