Doesn't have to be in the pan, but yes, that would be a second proof.

I'm barely a year into my bread obsession. It's one of the only obsessions my wife has ever fully supported.

In addition to a dutch oven, as others said, I recommend picking up some diastatic malt powder. Add 1-5% of your flour content to a loaf.

It really helps develop a nice crispy crust and adds a ton of flavor.

Pronell ,

Online or from brewer supply places. I got mine through Amazon. It's pretty cheap.

Diastatic malt powder is sprouted barley that is then milled; those enzymes help break the starch down to sugar so the yeast can feed more easily.

It is definitely not required as the basic ingredients are the four you listed. But it's a nice thing to add.

Pronell ,

I'd love to have one of those.

I often think of myself as a fuckup, especially lately as I am unemployed.

But when I look at my life honestly and with open eyes, I know I am a decent person who has grown and tried to make up for my past wrongdoing.

And I don't know that there is much else to ask from anyone except that alone, to continue to try to grow and be better in some ways.

I can always beat myself up with would'ves and could'ves, but I can't redo.

The only chance I have to do things differently is now.

Hey, I'm also having tummy issues, as is often the case.

For me it's IBS, driven by anxiety and a bad diet. Just in case you don't know what drives your bad tummy stuff, this was it for me.

I've made a lot of progress in identifying the foods that upset me and know that my anxiety triggers it getting worse, so I can work on both of those.

I am supposed to run a two hour d&d game in an hour, that's part of the anxiety. But it'll be fine.

"After recalling a memory, participants learned how to use a cognitive skill called mental rotation, which involves rotating 2D and 3D shapes using your ‘mind’s eye’. They then used this skill to play a slower form of the video game Tetris, which similarly involves rotating geometric blocks. This is thought to occupy the brain’s visuospatial areas, competing with the visual flashback, weakening its vividness and emotional impact – and critically, the frequency with which it intrudes."

Well this is fucking fascinating. It's almost like you're symbolically working through the traumatic event in a way that it can actually be 'solved'.

Pronell ,

It's basically climbing a tower and killing most of what is in your way, but even then that is abstract.

It's a deck building roguelike, and one of the best.

Dan Harmon has said the producer did this magic for him. He would often telling Dan that, no, they were over budget when they weren't, so he could then say yes to the best ideas, actors/cameos, etc.

I'm a huge superfan. My ringtone is Professor Professorson's.

Or... this is the crime they have the actual evidence to prosecute.

For the past several years, I'd have to say The Bamboos. I love me some good funk.

Pronell ,

I will check them out!

Using fossil fuels to make fertilizer has fueled human growth.

When capitalism dies, a LOT of people die off. It is inevitable - eventually we have to wean off of oil, and it isn't just transport but materials and fertilizers.

So we have to plan for a smaller world community as well, and help those in crisis as the world community shrinks.

Pronell ,

I would be very glad to be wrong here!

Pronell ,

Fully agree, DMT clears my brain out for months. Unfortunately I can't legally use it.

Pronell ,

I had a blast when I first discovered it. Introduced my Dad, as he had told me all these great stories about LSD in the 60s and early 70s.

Just can't find it these days, but I haven't tried either.

Pronell ,

There was a ravine out back of my house in Ohio in the early 80s.

We had a ton of fun cleaning it up and exploring up and down the creek. There was a shale cliff nearby and we would snap off pieces and skip stones.

Solid memories of free time in the local wilderness when I was a tot.

Pronell ,

Neurotoxins.

Pronell ,

'Elder statesmen.'

Pronell ,

I would unplug that immediately, just to be safe.

I can't see that going well, especially for your hair.

Pronell ,

I prefer "That’s what they said."

It's much more inclusive.

The bottom 5% is all AI.

Mustache guy is Snidely Whiplash from Rocky & Bullwinkle.

Edit: Nope, the other one was right, Dick Dastardly.

I'm hoping it's to run for president, but that is likely just hopium.

Pronell ,

It was worth hate watching, in my opinion. I was openly laughing at the product placement by the end.

Pronell ,

I would say just because it doesn't qualify as microdosing doesn't mean it has no benefits.

But I am a maxidoser, so...

Pronell ,

Yup, another here. Been with my wife for fourteen years, this will be our 11th wedding anniversary.

Pronell ,

But can he see the color blurple?

Dozens Arrested After Throwing Dildos at ICE Outside Whipple Federal Building ( unicornriot.ninja )

The mass arrest was in response to protesters throwing rubber dildos over chainlink fences at passing vehicles suspected of being driven by ICE agents. The arrests follow a recent trend of various law enforcement agencies in the Minneapolis-St. Paul metro area mass arresting protesters following demonstrations against Operation ...

There's a few things I depend on - self-care, animals, and friends/family/regular socialization.

Shower, wear clean clothes. Eat something, healthy if possible. Clean your living area a bit. Accomplishing these basic things helps me feel better and feel better about myself for the basic self care.

Aside from that, for me, being with my animals helps immensely, but I know that isn't an option for everyone. That freely offered love can be a lifeline of its own.

Keep in touch with your people, your friends, family, community. If you don't think you have people, try to find some. I'd wager more people care about you than you would know or acknowledge. Might take a while to find them but they are there.

I'm getting up there in years and the friends I made in my 20s and 30s are my dependable people, in addition to some family.

I keep them close with discord and weekly d&d games. That means one day a week I am forced to socialize and have creative fun with the people I care most about in the world. (That's one family d&d game and one friend one.)

Pronell ,

I enjoyed Wonder Man too.

I'd elaborate, but don't want to spoil it for others.

Pronell ,

I'm just here to say that "We've never seen this level of surveillance" is a weirdly hilarious thing to say.

Not saying this isn't a horrible situation at all, just giggled at that.

Pronell ,

I think announcing our flirting is now a relationship meme. I totally get his reasons for announcing it.

I never got the hang of flirting, and my wife had resigned herself to never having a real relationship.

Took a couple on-the-spectrum stoner nerds a long time to find each other.

Pronell ,

Hudson Hawk, Bruce Willis' longtime passion project where he and Danny Aiello play singing cat burglars.

I genuinely love it despite it not being very good at all. Saw it in the theater knowing nothing at all about it.

Pronell ,

Okay, Kramer.

Pronell ,

Absolutely true. Dogs can be trained to not do those things, but mine are encouraged to get on my lap and lick my hands.

The quiet acceptance of cats is extremely nice too. I can't quantify it in research, but I am glad I do not need to choose one over the other.

Plus, my dogs are good to my cats and vice versa.

My sister is similar to you and just doesn't care for my dogs.

The main reason not to drive in the snow is the way other people drive in the snow.

Pronell ,

I hate having to drive in the snow.

I love getting to, especially when it's fresh, fluffy stuff, undisturbed in an empty parking lot.

Pronell ,

Given the economy, it may be "If you see someone stealing food, no you didn't."

Pronell ,

I live in Duluth, MN.

In 1991 it started snowing on Halloween and didn't stop for something like four days.

We had four feet of snow in our yard. The town was paralyzed for days.

My sister and I took three hours walking to the corner store and back. She had to walk behind me because she was too short to even break a path through the snow.

It was so much fun.

Pronell ,

I hate Netflix less than the Ellisons.

And I feel that theaters were already dying, so I don't see Netflix losing this saving an industry.

Pronell ,

I know, I don't make that in a year!

Pronell ,

The life of Antonio Lopez de Santa Ana, who was president of Mexico... multiple times.

He kept stepping down and then taking it back when he was insulted.

He's the one who lost his leg to a cannonball (iirc) during the French Pastry War and then lost his fake leg to the US when avoiding capture.

He may have also introduced chicle to New York City once he had been exiled from Mexico.

Very much a larger-than-life character.

Here's a link to a Josh Johnson bit about radioactive shrimp!

He's quite an impressive comic.

I had loved Jay Johnston ever since the Mr. Show days. Used to cheer when he popped up in things.

Fucking traitor. I flip off the screen anytime he's on now.
