Jaeluni Asjil posted:Just saw an ad on facebook from our local leisure centre full of images of old people - then I realized it was targeted at over 60s - then I remember, that's me. If it makes you feel any better, I’m over 20 years too young for them but I get shitloads of over-60s ads over the internet too. I think it’s just down to who’s the most susceptible to ads and so those are the most common ones.

I keep getting adverts for home insurance, stock trading apps, expensive fashion items, and that one advert for falun gong. So i don't know what google thinks I am but it seems to think I am much richer than I am.

Bobby Deluxe posted:It's funny how Qanon types will happily buy conspiracies like this, but when you point out that the WASPY christian types at McKinsey literally did this with bread prices in Canada they go 'seems sus' and go back to looking for microchips in their soup. re food price manipulation: for some reason I ended up on the wiki page for cotton oil and it has the most incredible 19th_century_capitalism.txt bit in it quote:Cottonseed oil then began to be used illegally to fortify animal fats and lards. Initially, meat packers secretly added cottonseed oil to the pure fats, but this practice was uncovered in 1884. Armour and Company, an American meatpacking and food processing company, sought to corner the lard market and realized that it had purchased more lard than the existing hog population could have produced. A congressional investigation followed, and legislation was passed that required products fortified with cottonseed oil to be labeled as ‘‘lard compound.”

Bread chat, someone got me a bread cloche for Christmas and I just got myself a banneton and am trying my hand at proper fancy loaves. https://twitter.com/noxvillewy/status/1355843630116859909?s=21 Not getting quite the rise I’d hoped but it may be because my sourdough culture is still young?

Bread chat? I sometimes fry a pan of diced chorizo to just about crispy and add the meat and reduced fat (cooled to room temp) from that to a standard white bread recipe dough, just before the second proof It's a simplified version of a spanish pastry called hornazo that also has blood sausage and boiled eggs and stuff, traditionally baked to celebrate the return of sex workers to the city of salamanca after they got evicted for lent by the evil bishops

I'm thinking of getting a styrofoam box with a heating mat. I live in a building from the interwar period with 3m high ceilings. It's impossible to control temperature, so I can't get consistent bread. One rises fine, the next stays a sad blob of sadness…

Sourdough chat You need to make sure your starter is lively enough. Basically - don't feed too often. You need to let it build right back to full (i.e. when it stops being frothy and settles almost right back down) so the yeast in there gets to consume all it can, and reproduce as much as possible. Do this a few times to get the mixture to max yeasty strength, if you are feeding when it is still multiplying, the result will be keep getting diluted. Then I do 150g starter, 250g flour, 1/2 tsp salt & sugar, about 100ml water to make 1 loaf. That leaves ~100ml starter in the jar to feed for the next one. Do this as 11am, and it's ready to cook for 4-5pm. I also bought a pot of fast action yeast as it's pretty much the same but now you can do it the hard way, with the real stuff you can go flour->loaf in about 2 hours

More news on the consequences of brexit. Fashion industry? hosed. https://twitter.com/pmdfoster/status/1356315692920922112 Shellfish industry? Potentially about to collapse since apparently there's no exporting live shellfish to the EU for the foreseeable future, which has been known to be a problem since last year but nothing's been done by the government and if it's not clear if they even realise/care that the industry can't go on without exports. Industry bodies are reaching out to the government at the moment it looks like on that one.

Do this while you're at work and it's ready to cook while you're still at work. Except it's not because you live in an uninsulated shoe box.

Of all the stupidity of Brexit the biggest oddity to me is how keen the government seems to be to immediately erect incredibly restrictive bureaucratic barriers and be utterly inflexible on them. There will be a lot of barriers from the EU that we can't avoid, but half of these complexities are on our end and the only response seems to be "well you should have been more prepared for this deal that was signed 5 days before it came into effect. We produced several leaflets about it." I thought we were meant to have a bonfire of the red tape.

I think the book that really destroyed the image of historical Christian purity for me was Barbara Tuchman's A Distant Mirror where there is a bit about how the clergy were getting pissed off about people only coming to church at christmas an easter in the fourteenth century, which until that point popular culture had led me to believe was a modern sign of our declining morality rather than a consistent theme of history.
