Fair enough, yeah. I only noticed because I have a baking sheet that I only use in the oven, and frying pans that I basically only use on the stove. So I can see the difference pretty clearly.
It’s nice having one that isn’t designed to have the inserts and just lays flat on me and fits snugly. It doesn’t hang loose awkwardly or anything, if that’s what you mean.
I don’t know what you mean by look weird - on me when I look down I just feel flat-chested. But I have a different one without pads and it feels quite nice and quite comfortable.
It’s this one: https://a.co/d/9GZp955
But regardless, I personally don’t think it looks weird.
Also I tried regular back and racer back and just happened to find the latter more comfortable. I think it’s just about what fits your body the best. I don’t have a lot of experience though. Probably others would have better advice.
The exact ones I got seem to be out of stock right now (https://a.co/d/cBeQUL2) but I found that they have space in them for inserts and I got a multi pack of padded inserts (like these: https://a.co/d/iKFhtq3) also and just put several in each, and that worked well enough for me. I don’t pass at all so it was mostly just for myself so it may not work for you, I don’t know. But that’s what I have done in the past.
Yeah actually! I did the thing with the 30 degree angle (hold the blade 30 degrees up from the surface the dough is sitting on, rather than straight up), slightly but not too far off center. And I sliced over the same line a few times to make it deep enough.
Yeah! I’ll do that. Good call. I think I need to do it from somewhere that isn’t Memmy though. I didn’t see a way to do it from the app.
Forgot to include the text in the post for screen readers. Sorry! Here it is:
So utopian are we that we go the length of believing that the revolution can and ought to assure shelter, food and clothes to all – an idea extremely displeasing to middle-class citizens, whatever their party colour, for they are quite alive to the fact that it is not easy to keep the upper hand of a people whose hunger is satisfied.
Just encountered this quote in TCOB and I love it.
The Conquest of Bread Quotes by Pyotr Kropotkin - Goodreads:
"So utopian are we that we go to the length of believing that the revolution can and ought to assure shelter, good and clothes to all - an idea extremely displeasing to middle-class citizens, whatever their party colour, for they are quite alive to the fact that it is not easy to keep the upper hand of a people whose hunger is satisfied."
Taking pickles out of the fridge to keep fermenting?
Hey fermenters. So, I recently started a batch of pickles (the salt water and dill+ kind - lactofermented? Right?), and I transferred them to the fridge too early, before they were pickled enough. Can I just take them out of the fridge (a few days later) and let them get back to room temperature and keep doing their thing? Or is that a recipe for spoilage? Or would it just not keep fermenting?
I guess I have nothing to lose so I might as well try but I was wondering if y’all had thoughts about my chances of success.
Thanks!
I’m not sure if this will work, but if you haven’t figured it out yet I have an idea: can you use the transform tool? Just select what you want to stretch and then hit the transform tool and move the handles to where you want them. Does that work?
Huge Bounding Boxes?
Hey all. I’m not sure if there are enough of us on here to start asking questions like this but it’s worth a try. My bounding boxes are out of whack with what is in the layer, and I’m not sure what to do - it’s not a big deal, I can manage, but it’s annoying. I’ve tried erasing/deleting everything outside of what I want there, in case there are any stray marks or whatever, and it doesn’t change anything. Is there a way to force it to reload the box or something? Any advice is welcome! Thanks!
Yeah sort of. They create a timeline/history together. There are surely ways to then play games or write stories or what have you within the world that is created but mainly it’s creating a history of a place that sort of gets created as you go.
If you’re really looking for not-catch-all systems you should check out ADRPG (Amber Diceless RPG) I haven’t played it properly but I’ve read the books it’s based on and read through the rule book and it looks really cool and unique. Another unique one is Microscope. I’ve also not played it but read the rule book and it comes highly recommended. It’s a completely different kind of tabletop game, one can almost not even call it an RPG, but there are roleplaying elements. I’d recommend checking it out.
If you’re not really looking, well, there you have it anyways I guess. Feel free to ignore.
Thanks! I’ve been working on them. Next is getting a vertical ear. Still haven’t managed that.
Just came out of the oven
We’ll see soon if I added enough rosemary to make it count as a rosemary loaf.
Does anyone use PixelFed?
Also, is there a good app for iPhone for it? I tried out Vernissage and it’s nice in some ways and confusing in others.
What if Musk ran for president?
This occurred to me the other day and I feel like it’s so crazy that it maybe could happen. Is it too late for him to run in the upcoming election?
What did me and Julio do down by the schoolyard?
I’ve often wondered this. I have a few possible answers, but I’m curious what you all think.
Replacing Rye/Pumpernickel Flour
So, I want to play with making a levain, which I’ve never done before, and I’m drawn to this recipe: https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/pain-au-levain-recipe mostly because I have used other King Arthur recipes with a lot of success. The thing is, it calls for pumpernickel flour and my spouse isn’t a fan. So can I just replace it with the same amount of… Whole wheat flour? Or just white all purpose flour? Or does that not really work and I need to find a new recipe?
Thanks!
Bread knife recommendations?
I just posted about this in c/sourdough but I thought maybe some of you would have opinions and suggestions too. I’m not sure the etiquette around this kind of thing so feel free to scold me or just ignore the post.
So: I think my bread knife may have become too dull to use. It won’t slice through the crust on my sourdough and I end up hacking it to very uneven pieces. And I’m afraid I’m going to cut myself. Any suggestions for a new bread knife? Is there a big difference between the really cheap ones and something more expensive? Thanks!
DBT app recommendation
So, I’ve been doing DBT for over a year now and first of all it’s the thing that has made the most difference for me. Completely changed my life and how much I am able to manage my emotions and my interactions with others, especially my spouse. And I’m not a person who ever says “changed my life” about anything. So yeah. If you have access, I know not everyone does, I highly recommend DBT. It’s the bees knees.
Anyway, I recently switched therapists to a fully DBT oriented therapist, and she suggested I use this app to track my skill use and stuff and I just wanted to post it here in case it helps anyone else. There are other apps out there but this one is the one I’ve been using and it’s been pretty great so far. And it’s like $5 one time on the iPhone App Store. Not sure if it exists for android or whatever. The other one I just looked at is like $12 a month forever.
The app is cool partly because you can send all the data for the week to your therapist (or whoever, I suppose) by email so they can look at how that week went, with skills use, a motions, behaviors, and also there’s a journal part for writing notes. But also the whole thing is super customizable and there’s info in there about each skill. Etc. It’s pretty great.
So yeah. Here’s a link: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/dbt-diary-card-skills-coach/id479013889
The interface is kinda old and janky looking, but whatever. Once you get used to it it’s pretty easy to use.
Enjoy!
Sourdough baked in my lodge enameled Dutch oven
Not sure how to add more images but I guess the one is enough. I love baking bread in my DO. So far that and boiling corn are the only things I use it for because it’s so big for just two people (6qt).
Bread knife recommendations?
I am realizing that my bread knife is not strong enough to handle the crusts on my loaves and it’s impossible to get through the bread much less evenly. What bread knife do you use/would you recommend? Is it just a matter of sharpness or are there other factors to consider?
30 degrees from what?
So, everywhere I look people are saying “getting an ear is easy! Just score it all the way across with a 30 degree angle. It’s so easy!” But what does 30 degrees mean‽ 30 degrees from what? 30 degrees from the table it’s sitting on? Is it the angle of the blade as it enters the dough, or it is 30 degrees up the surface of the dough? Or something I’m not thinking of? Any help would be awesome. Thanks!
Is it really a mass exodus? And is it really a mass exodus to lemmy?
I guess it’s self explanatory but I keep seeing all this stuff about how everyone is moving from Reddit to lemmy and I’m wondering if anyone knows if that’s really what’s happening. If you have numbers that’s even better.
Thanks!
