I thought the second episode was way better than the first. Some good trigun energy. Also agree that it still seems weird for Roberto to exist.

Yeah, agreed on the second episode. And while my memories of the OG Trigun are a little vague (like I've said before, I never got that into it), I think with Roberto, they wanted to put Meryl in the junior role while giving her a foil to bounce off of, which... okay, but wasn't having a junior the point of Milly? Plus, isn't Vash Meryl's natural foil? So far it just seems like Roberto was an answer to an unnecessary problem

I'm picking up five of them in early February. I'm trying to manage my expectations.

I'd still like to try a filled Dong Phoung king cake just to see how it tastes. Today's was just plain. But my favorite still is Mikey's. Basically a big fried doughnut with fruit filling and colorful icing. The Brennan's one I had today was interesting, bright pink and strawberry cream cheese but not too bad, honestly.

Every year on one of our guys trips someone’s assigned a meal for each day, and it’s all but written in stone that I’m responsible for pumping out like ten pizzas on Sunday night and this past year I walked away with like five oven rack burns on my hands :v:

Also since I’m currently stuck inside and I’m running out of food I went to order one (1) stuffed crust pizza from Pizza Hut tonight and the total came out to $38. No thanks. Your whole point is cheap lovely pizza to hit the spot, when it’s nowhere near cheap anymore, it doesn’t. My next homemade pizzas are gonna taste so much better now.

I don't know if this counts, but when I worked in a Deli at a grocery store we'd often slice the meat and set it out at a discount so someone would buy it rather than just throw good food away.

Turns out a fair amount of people think that's unfair and some people getting an advantage they don't deserve or something.

I find this super handy https://mypizzacorner.com/pizza-dough-calculator/ When I need to make pizza for more than me.

Also I am currently sad posting because I went out and did about 50 things today, got home and whipper snipped and mowed my yard and my legs are killing me from squats so I thought I'll have soak in some epsom salt with a bag of ice to get the water as cold as possible and left my beer on the counter. I'm definitely not posting to avoid the shame of my tiny cold water penis and gut out how much sitting in really cold water sucks.

I find that using a poolish gives the dough a lot of extra elasticity and a great chew, would the calculator just include the ingredients for that in the final measurements?

I'm curious as to how the preferred method of killing them is supposed to be kinder. It sounds a lot like 'I'll put you in a plastic bag and suffocate you, but if that doesn't work I'll freeze you to death.'

Also looks like you'd need a lot of freezer space.

I have no idea tbh. Apparently they just go to sleep but I'm wondering how when they're sealed in a bag and freezing and been chucked in a weird dark hole. I think a spike through the dome would be waaaaaaay better way to go.

Whenever I use poolish I use a food processor (mainly because I don't have a stand mixer). When I do that I add the dry ingredients, give them a pulse to combine and then I add the poolish and begin to pour water through the spout, when I see it pick up all the flour and lift everything off I give it a dash more to get it a little looser and then hand knead the poo poo out of it on a floured surface until its smooth and supple.

I know baking is more science than art, but because poolish is high hydration and because sometimes you end up with a more humid day etc I find that prepping my dough as normal in terms of flour and water and eyeballing the adjustment til the dough looks and feels right is just easier. I've never had a failure to rise or a pizza that had some kind of catastrophic failure from this method.

Only thing is I have been making pizza at home for well over a year and tried so many different recipes and methods I can kind of just know when I'm on the right track.

Also I have a recipe for a pizza that gets an incredible rise from 1.5 hours proofing using beer and 10g of yeast cooked in a skillet in a normal oven that comes out with a thick bready crust like detroit style pizza that's a huge favourite of my friends when we're drinkin and they want a snack.

The GOP gets to performatively pass bills in the house that they know won't survive in the senate for the next two years. Get ready because taking fresh meat and refried beans from the mouths of poor people is, if you'll excuse the choice of expression, small potatoes. Did y'all forget the 70 times they voted as a bloc to repeal health care for the poor?

If there was anybody remotely smart in the GOP they'd be framing the restrictions as "a way to battle the obesity epidemic that the Michelle Obama spearheaded during her husband's administration" and "reducing meat consumption to battle the issue that mass cattle farming contributes to global warming."

I mean, this is the least likely even ironic and caustically cynical spin I've ever seen imagined from that party being put to use.

Just checked my email to see that Amazon is ending AmazonSmile because "after almost a decade, the program has not grown to create the impact that we had originally hoped. With so many eligible organizations—more than 1 million globally—our ability to have an impact was often spread too thin."

Just lol at how ghoulish capitalism is.

fun update on this

https://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/10ft5iv/comment/j4znb8y/ posted:

So basically, when a customer wants to buy a product, they usually go straight to Amazon.com and enter what they’re looking for. But there’s also a large segment of customers who begin their search on google, and ends up at Amazon. Well guess what. When that type of search to purchase experience happens, Amazon has to pay google. Internally, Amazon thought that if they could force users to go straight to Amazon, offer a small but obviously less amount of money to charity from each customer than would have been paid to google, it would help kill customers going to google, save Amazon more money than paying google, and be good overall for the brand value of Amazon.

That’s why for the program to work, the user has to start shopping at smile.amazon.com. Until recently, the option to use amazon smile wasn't even available in the app, and even then the user still had to 'renew' being a part of Smile multiple times a year. There is no way for a customer to go through the traditional shopping experience, and then during checkout decide they want to give a portion of their purchase to charity, because giving to charity isn't the point of the overall program. Amazon Smile was developed by the Traffic Optimization team, whose entire purpose is increasing efficiency and lowering costs of getting customers to Amazon. A team of Amazon employees whose sole purpose is doing good in the world doesn't exist, despite employees repeatedly asking for such a team to be built in pretty much every single all-hands meeting.

The charitable contribution side was just a necessary side effect of trying to change user behavior to avoid giving google a cut of revenue. I always did think it was weird you couldn't just.... tick a box at checkout if you forgot to start at the smile url.
