Didn't China host the Olympics like a decade ago? There was probably fearmongering over that too.

There were literally whole streets where people's homes got bulldozed and they put up walls and screens to hide the poor people from broadcasts. Getting all excited over Chinese propaganda is a little silly since that's what the olympics have been forever but still. gently caress China.

BlindSite posted:I'll be keen to hear what you think. uh, I'm not sure you can even use whole wheat flour solely for pizza dough. Like for wheat bread you generally mix somewhere between 50/50 and 75/25 white/bread flour and whole wheat flour. There's probably a way to do it, but I've never seen any baking recipe that only had whole wheat flour.

There's probably a way to do it, but I've never seen any baking recipe that only had whole wheat flour. It came out of a box where it's premixed, for bread or pizza so it's already a ratio. I went slightly higher hydration anyway. See how it goes I guess.

Every few years there's always the "Look at the top quality stadium/housing built for Olympics that's now dilapidated and abandoned" story, when each Olympics it's promised this time that things will be different. I'd be surprised if we actually had a success story out of that for once.

I just want to see Yuzuru Hanyu go ham and put up a fight in the skating ring. Also wanna see how many of the Russian women land their quads since they are absolutely going to dominate in the figure skating arena. Also all the long and short track speed skating. I have Apollo Anton Ohno's autograph in a book of weird conspiracy theories from the mid-90's.

The author does the reading, and the thick Irish accent honestly adds a ton Lol that owns BlindSite posted:This was my rec! Glad you're enjoying it! It’s really good. Thank you! There’s a bunch of stuff I love about it. For 1, the author strikes a nice balance of using regular words vs made up fantasy words. And, even better, most of the time the fantasy made up words are connotative of a regular word that’s similar. Like “Spanth” is basically “Spain”. And the author doesn’t try and explicit explain the fantasy stuff that doesn’t matter. Ex/ the author doesn’t layout how all the crazy rear end currencies relate to each other, just a handful and that’s more about the art of the coins. Same with the Towers card game, just enough explained for the reader to get the gist. For 2, I appreciate that the cast of characters is manageably sized. Stuff like Game of Thrones can get confusing for my old brain. And the supplementary characters basically have their segmented portions of the story with minimal overlap with other supplementary characters. I love the story arc of the whaler dude lol. For 3, the writing itself is just plain fun  For 4, I really like the low magic setting. It’s enough magic that it can have fun quirks, but it’s restrained enough that there aren’t deus ex machinas. Related, the low magic also means that tension can actually build because the audience is aware of actual limits. For 5, the protagonist is a thief. Which means there’s more nuance potential for his character… Compared to like a lawful good paladin or something. Really my only complaint is kind of related to 4. Medium spoiler for about ~4/5th of the way through the book. I felt it was kind of… anticlimactic? Premature? That in a world of low magic, a world with basically only a handful of POWERFUL magick users… they meet like half of them in the first book. But that’s a really minor gripe. Great book 5/5 stars, highly recommend if you are looking for a fantasy!

And the Fox god treasuring mischief as a form of worship is so well crafted. Dang goons, felt good to read a good fiction book. Way more fun than reading about rampant human rights violations.

I feel like I’m gonna lose my mind. It’s 430am here and I haven’t slept at all. I’m wide awake. I’m past the point of being able to take something because I don’t want to sleep all day but at this point I also may not have a choice because I don’t want to just power through it and then crash later

There's this guy on twitter: https://twitter.com/PS5StockAlerts He tracks the different stores and posts when they've got stock in. I just got lucky one day and Gamestop had a bundle and I was able to snag one. Gamestop, in an effort to ward off scalpers, makes you join their club thing and they only sell the system in a bundle and one per account per day. With mine I got NBA 2k and Ghost of Tsushima. I sold 2k to a friend that already had a ps5 Joey Freshwater fucked around with this message at 17:24 on Feb 5, 2022 |

I was in a discord for ps5 drops, someone mentioned best buy was having a drop, and I got in while the site was hammered. After refreshing for about an hour, it eventually got added to my cart then refreshing the checkout, it eventually went through.
