It took me somewhere around 10 tries until I baked my first perfect bread. My overall advice would be to knead really well, unless you're doing a no-knead bread. As to your question about proofing, be gentle, let it rest in a warm spot

It may be wise to pick ones battles, but it certainly is braver to pick one knowing you will lose. Stupid, but brave.

My guess is that US intelligence has several "shadow" arms that have morphed into their own creatures and are no longer the same patriotic beast it was during the cold war. I'm doubtful whether destabilizing China is a real p

> objectively terrible These two words next to each other really bother me. That something is "terrible" is not objective, whatever that means. All we have are our subjective valuations.

More like a decade of failures really, resulting mostly from hard addiction to drugs and drinking that led to a failed suicide attempt in 2017. Still recovering from it. Initially there was hatred and resentment towards people who "sav

Overtly? Unfortunately, most people don't care about the "plenty bad shit" going on in China as long as their cheap imports are flowing in. In a Cold War 2.0 scenario, it is absolutely necessary that China be made out to be n

Unfortunately, I am unable to trust your words at this moment in time. I'm sure many others will agree.

It may sound like a conspiracy theory to you, but it looks to be a case of healthy paranoia to me. Brave seems to me all kinds of shady. My browser should have nothing to do with tokens, crypto, paying content producers etc. All of that le

Requiring IDs is not the exception these days. Also, limiting government power through policy seems unpopular because it doesn't work.

Definitely not. One of the things that makes existence tolerable for many of us is the assurance that it is ending quite soon. Although I can see why people would choose to stick around for much longer. I suppose one legitimate reason to li

I think of tiling WM in terms of never having to leave my keyboard, or in other words, never having to make use of the mouse/touchpads. That itself leads to a vast boost in productivity. I haven't used macOS in a while, but when I

I don't have kids but find it absurd that parents who post photos of their kids online, be it them crying or smiling, don't put a single thought into the issue surrounding consent. Instagram photos aren't the same as my dad p

An obvious one is Dan Carlin's Hardcore History. I'd also suggest audiobooks if you're looking for something more substantial. I'm currently revisiting the classics and found a great reading of Plato's Republic. Bef

I do like Sturgill Simpson and Chris Stapleton, though they're probably not mainstream/radio country. Somewhat related - I don't know much enough bluegrass to distinguish between good and bad bluegrass, but I really like Bill

The Satoshi reveals every now and again always remind me of someone claiming to have deciphered the Voynich manuscript - except it's way more scammy and fraudulent.

Naipaul is my favorite writer. A House for Mr. Biswas is a book I keep coming back to every year or so. It's deep, humorous and very melancholic. Miguel Street is the funniest book I've read. Naipaul is great!

You seem to be implying that being apolitical is a political position in itself, much like how atheism is a religion too. Do you consider baldness a hairstyle?

This is the third time I've seen the "was email a mistake" title in the past week, from different publications too, if I recall correctly. What a silly thing to ask.

What's the deployment story on Elixir as of now? I recall that some previous threads had not-so-nice things to say about deploying Elixir apps. Any progress on this front?

At this point in time, it's reasonably healthy to assume that everything has backdoors. The only place where information can be kept safe and hidden is deep within our minds. Any method used to share said information with another human

I understand your perspective, but as the GP said, ethics is exactly whatever the collective Haas decided it is. Unless we're involving God or some kind of external divine guidelines on ethics, it's pretty much something we'v

It depends on what you mean by better. Is it better from the perspective of the universe? Or according to your individual personal guidelines that define "better"? Or better as how your society thinks it is? Or better as how Socra

I'm rediscovering metal after straying away from it for a while. I somehow ended up going from playing metal to shred to jazz fusion to straight jazz and kind of got lost in that world for a while. I'm very much enjoying the simpl

The stoics had a great deal to say about reacting to insults. I suggest you read Seneca or Epictetus for some perspective on taking offense.
