Blah blah blah, I know completely homemade stuff is better, but I like having fresh bread and I'd rather spend a couple minutes per week with a single pan rather than a couple hours and multiple bowls/etc

I don't think most folks here will tell you there's anything wrong with a breadmaker per se, just that you're not likely to use it. You'll either forget about it, or you'll get so into breadmaking that you start doing it the old fashioned way (giving you a lot more flexibility).

I use mine during the week. It's a a 1lb maker, so it's perfect for about 2 days worth of bread. On the weekends, when I have more time, I make it from scratch.

When I make bread from scratch, the kitchen ends up looking like someone detonated a military-grade flour dispersal device, so it's definitely a weekends-only deal. With a bread machine, I just dump poo poo in and forget about it. Fresh, delicious bread and no cleanup :dance:

Four bucks is a darn good deal, dude.

This is too cool! Although ramped basses are just not my thing as a player, I dig the look.

I've never had the chance to try one, and the ramp was a drop in the bucket compared to the rest of the cost (he might have not even charged me extra for it!), and he had a piece of B/W ebony to match the fingerboard... so I thought I would give it a try. If I really hate it, I can remove it easily or just plane it down so it's further from the strings. I doubt that will happen though.

Thank you for this.

My current grill is rusted to poo poo and bolted to my deck and needs to be replaced in the worst way possible.

Found this one on Amazon and I also found it in my credit card rewards program. Doing the math though I saved a ton of points converting them into Amazon gift cards and going through them, with free delivery.

It gets here tomorrow and I can't wait.

Is a bread maker a good idea for someone who typically eats two sandwiches every day but does not enjoy any sort of cooking? Meaning that if you eat that sort of volume will you just be constantly having to make bread or is it easy to make several loaves at once and have a stockpile?

It takes a few hours to make a loaf, so several at once isn't easily done. You could make and freeze them in advance though. With fresh bread, anything short of freezing won't keep it edible for more than a day or three.

Slice the bread, freeze the slices you won't use relatively immediately, toast the bread directly from frozen whenever you make sandwiches or eggs or soup (I'm also making it for multiple people, not just myself)

Time and favorable temperatures. You don't need to add white sugar.

Use warm water to proof the yeast.

Yeast don't need no sugar.

Flour, water, yeast, salt. That's how you make a bread.

The problem isn't a teaspoon or two of sugar, its because commercial bakeries use corn syrup and corn syrup walks all over the flavor of whatever else its mixed with.

$#$%^&@@*!!!
Pull up, thread, pull up!

I bought my first new phone in three and a half years yesterday. iPhone 6s, 64GB, space gray. "Midnight Blue" (kinda purple) silicone case. Apple does free next-day delivery for iPhones for some loving reason, and I missed the delivery today because I didn't happen to be standing in my kitchen by the fire escape door at 9:48am when the UPS guy came to give me a door tag and not knock or anything. I only was able to get my phone today because I was driving to get a haircut and happened to pass a UPS truck. Stopped and asked him if he had my package and he handed it over after I showed ID. This is the second time I've had to find a UPS driver out in the wild to get my package. UPS in Richmond, VA is hot loving garbage.

This was better than when I bought my last iPhone and it got stolen off the UPS truck, but not by much.

Anyway, phone's great. Recommend it.
