The Atomic Man-Boy posted:I’m not a materials scientist by any stretch, but can’t you just, like, paint them so they aren’t exposed to direct sea water? No. This is a problem the Royal Navy discovered with the first iron warships, because they tried to use copper sheathing on the hulls as they had with wooden ships. It's the result of metals being in contact with each other, not exposure to the elements, so even if you could get to those spaces, painting wouldn't help once the process starts.

Interesting. This would be saying the "banking crisis" is self inflicted because rates aren't being passed on to depositors so depositors are pulling cash to chase better yields. https://twitter.com/Kathleen_Tyson_/status/1638936614150840321?t=7y9dRAyivw4RqUw9b9tfOA&s=19

Bread that used to be $4 here are closer to like $6 now in about 14 months since the Fed went OH gently caress! INFLATION! 6% is such an outright, brazen lie.

Pittsburgh Fentanyl Cloud posted:The american style enclosed shopping mall only ever existed due to accelerated depreciation schemes to encourage commercial concerns to move out of the cities and out to the artificial gated whites-only developments the government subsidized after WW2. That scheme went away in the late 80s and with that went almost all enclosed mall development https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T2vpvT11fjs

Jon Irenicus posted:the mall about ten minutes away has officially become Teen Fight Club where all of the poorly behaved students go to gently caress around on the weekend and routinely get in fights. one kid even got stabbed. thus the mall is trying to crack down and literally ban unaccompanied minors 20 years ago or so the Mayfair Mall outside Milwaukee instituted either youth need to be accompanied by an adult at all times or possibly later in the day due to "riots" by inner city kids. This mall was juuuuuust outside the city of Milwaukee but at the end of many bus routes and had a big movie theater in it. Coincidentally, a mall further out in the suburbs put their foot down about buses.

Shrink the food and raise the price. But of course the official numbers do not acknowledge this or even claim to measure it, and there's no outrage over it at all.

Here's the thing about baking: It's chemistry. If you're bad at chemistry, you're bad at baking. This is what happened when I tried to make buttermilk biscuits a while back:  (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

Bread dough just takes a bit of practice and learning what your particular needs are - my house is always dry for example so i put a little more liquid in to every dough. I thought I just sucked at baking for a long time but it just turned out i needed to calibrate my oven and learn to adjust Now i make a loaf that looks like this basically every week and its only 5 ingredients. flour, yeast, milk powder, salt, water.  And the whole thing takes place in 1 mixing bowl that is easy to clean, requires almost no kneading and the bread pan itself just stays oiled forever and requires minimal washing. Your first few times making anything will be messy as you learn but you get into a groove over time where its like - im about 5 minutes total for that loaf of actual work time and clean up and its just like 5 hours of wait time on the rise and bake where i can be doing something else - playing games, cleaning, painting, etc. silicone thrills has issued a correction as of 19:55 on Mar 23, 2023 |

Homemade bread is so good but significantly more time consuming than cookies. Also learning to make the staff of life is like gaining a superpower that just makes you fat  Was making bread daily for a while and had to stop after about 20 pounds Mirthless has issued a correction as of 19:56 on Mar 23, 2023 |
