I dont even want to imagine all the money I threw away on it, and time wasted being unproductive as hell.

I used to live with someone who had a $600 a month weed habit. She was perma-stoned pretty much which was how she was when we met so I knew no different. As for time wasting, she spent a lot of time baking whilst stoned which wasn't a bad thing.

Cold showers loving SUCK I tell you what

Haha, my shower decided it didn't want to heat water any more over a week ago. Renting a house is fine if the landlord is on the ball and not a loving chancer, it took 11 days total to get a replacement. Baths are nice but a nightmare if you have somewhere else to be.

I was looking at renting a challenger r/t for my father sometime this summer. When he got out of vietnam the first thing he spent his money on was a plum crazy challenger which unfortunately he no longer has and theres a local place that rents it out for $149/day as long as its Mon-Thurs. Hes battled 2 cancers over the past five years, just had both of knees replaced and he deserves a little slice of his youth for a few days.

Not sure if I want to do a 3 day M-Th rental ($450) or a 2 day weekend rental ($490).

If he's retired and such, a 3 day cruise while everyone else is at work would be pretty nice. Plenty of time to get poo poo done, tootle wherever...

I got my dad some track time at Goodwood in an E-type, DB4 and a Lotus Cortina for his last birthday, absolutely loved it so no doubt your old man will be thrilled. You should go with him too, it'd be cool as gently caress.

Dear lord American football is boring.

Do college matches have this many breaks to stand around and do nothing or is it just the big leagues? This is like gameshow levels of stringing it out for time. Advert advert advert advert advert 30 seconds of play, advert, crap commentary, advert, 30 seconds of play, advert...

Like listening to happy hardcore requires a plethora of mind altering substances to enjoy, does American football require similarly mind altering levels of booze or what? It seems the appeal right now is adverts??

Just recently went from a 34" CRT tv to a 60" LED, and although the size difference is awesome, the picture quality is not even close to the CRT :(

The thing about LCD tvs is they NEED to be running a high def picture in order to look half as good as a CRT. When the first bunch of LCD was making it to market I worked for a lifestyle AV company and as people bought up LCD and the big CRTs got sold on to others for pennies I'd always be blown away by the quality of image on the CRT. Every time.

I want to put it down to the fact that LCDs are back/side lit making the image appear a little flat. And this is why when I upgraded to HD I waited a good long time and then went and got me a plasma that could do black as well as pop colours off the screen. There's something to be said about a picture technology that uses over 6 million individual pockets of gas exploding to create an image.

It makes me sad to see people not taking care of themselves, even though I have a gym in the garage and tootle to work on a bike every day I still feel like I'm not doing enough despite being fitter than ever. Seems when people get older they just do less and start to feel bad and then use that as an excuse to do even less because they're not as fit as they once were. It's just an endless loop of loving themselves over with excuses.

...and then there's this dude, aged 70 in the video and lifting more than me.

It is, and that's why it's better than 99% of comic book movies.

It's a movie that the people who made it (and the main character himself) realises it's a comic book movie and comics are aimed at kids and kids like jokes, blood, violence. Also first person that wants to shout up that comics aren't for kids, just don't bother.

Thankfully I make my own pizzas. In the grand scheme of things it's not a big problem.

Hast thou cold risen some dough yet over a period of several days?

Olympic Mathlete
Feb 25, 2011

:h:


Yeah you can make dough in an hour and it's fine, bit bready and boring though. It's like having all the ingredients to make your own beer, mixing it all together and just necking it straight off, which is a poor use of said ingredients.

The magic is in the fermentation. You basically make you dough as you would normally, there's no magic recipe as such. I favour strong white flour or Italian '00'.

Make dough. Seal it in the mixing bowl using cling film and making sure it's well sealed as your dough will rise and cleaning up is a faff. Seal it in a bowl and throw it in the fridge. Next day, it'll have risen so turf it out, beat the air out and then seal it up again. Put it back in the fridge. Repeat...

After 3 days your dough will have a real nice flavour to it because like a beer, it's fermenting. After a few days of beating the air out you can portion it out into sealable sandwich bags for ease of use, putting a bit of olive oil in the bag to stop the dough sticking. You can then put said bags back in the fridge and have pizza for days... I've left dough in the fridge for anything up to two weeks and it's all good. So with a bit of prep in the beginning you can have some seriously lazy pizza.

*edit: seeing as the link was found above, Freelop mentioned the pre-rolled dough in a sheet format. Get that, cut it into squares/circles and put some fresh mozzarella and a bit of pepperoni in there, seal up the mozz and pepperoni. Place however many you can make into a casserole dish, throw a bunch of cheese over the top and put it in a pre-heated oven. So good.

gently caress mixing dough, let the machine do it and give me perfect results instead. A bread machine is not the same thing as a Mr. Beer kit.

I hear you about fermentation and stuff, which makes a good pickle btw, but we make thin crust anyway so it isn't bready or whatever.

pffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff

George Foreman + tortilla + cheese and stuff = a legit lazy 'pizza'

I've made dough the long way before. Its not worth the effort. Bread machine takes me 95% of the way there.

...but there's no 'long' about it, it takes 20 minutes for me to make 2 bowls full which is 10 LARGE thin crust pizzas. And once you've done that you have pizza dough for like 2 weeks so it's not really much effort at all, not quite sure how you're not seeing that but whatever, feel free to carry on making adequate dough when the good stuff is just as easy. :shrug:

This is the one I use, mainly because it's the most readily available here and it's a nice consistency right out of the bottle.

There's a good few actually, my friend's new band are playing for their first time here so I have to go make an effort. They're described as being "like being bludgeoned and glassed at the same time as being kicked in the face." Post sludge. I'm not a particularly big follower of the million and one metal genres but they're pretty tight.
