  • It's Wednesday 11/05/2025. Hey, What's Going On!

    Jump

  • Very cool. I've not really done poolishes before - though I've done focaccia so I guess that's similar. Any particular thing you're trying to make with the poolish? Or just trying to do different boules?

  • Nice. Do you have a recipe you've been liking?

    Mine is a 1:2:3 ratio, 3hr rise on counter with a couple rounds of stretch and folds, then a 16ish hr cold fermentation cycle, then bake in a dutch oven on 260c for 30 minutes covered 20 uncovered.

    I don't have a pic, but turns out pretty good. Trying to get it more sour, though.

  • Did you just make that bread? If so, how'd it turn out? If not, I want bread too.

  • ICE's 'Frightening' Facial Recognition App is Scanning US Citizens Without Their Consent

    Jump

  • It does not. The legal system has essentially lost the ability to be a check on the power of the executive branch. Partly because of the capture of the judiciary and regulatory bodies by right-wing extremists and partly because of the speed at which the executive branch is acting illegally - it takes time to build cases and the jsutice system can't keep up.

  • 'Embarrassment': Mike Johnson skewered by colleague as 'worst House speaker in US history'

    Jump

  • Yeah he seems like the kind of weirdo who'd want his own son to know whenever he was jackin it. Like if there was an app he could download to make that happen, he'd totally do it.

  • Amazon plans to cut 30,000 corporate jobs in response to pandemic overhiring

    Jump

  • Recruiters specifically, yeah. Also DEI, but that cratered largely because of the US' political stance on DEI.

    And marketing & sales - that was the largest change because the whole idea was to take advantage of untapped demand

    Also engineering - particularly AI related. Thats a big reason the enginnering job market is hot garbage rn

  • Amazon plans to cut 30,000 corporate jobs in response to pandemic overhiring

    Jump

  • During the pandemic tons of companies hired very large numbers of people in anticipation of increased consumer demand and historically high savings rates in the US and other countries. During the pandemic people counterintuitively burned through cash to the benefit of companies like amazon. When that excess demand cooled (and it still is, especially in the US due to incredibly bad economic policies) those jobs were/are not needed anymore.

  • Trump administration posts notice that no federal food aid will go out Nov. 1

    Jump

  • Also, volunteer near you! Food distribution on-site, meal delivery, meal prep, etc. Donations are very important, but ultimately they need the labor, too.

    Also, even if the volunteer sign up sheet is full, only about 60% - 80% of people show up (at least where I live). So they could likely still use your help distributing food.

  • Rattled Miller Puts Up Hysterical Defense of White House Teardown

  • Stephen King is not a good writer. He has great story ideas; but, his actual writing is poor and he does weird things that are unsupported by the narrative - like writing sewer gangbang scenes with children so that they can defeat the bad guy with the power of underage eskimo brotherhood.

    You can explain that in a less derisive way that sounds a bit more reasonable, but it doesn't make it a good narrative choice.

    Another example is 11/22/63. People on reddit cream their pants over the book, but it's literally just King self-inserting as the main character so he can (totally uncritically) reminisce over how great small town America was in the 50s/60s and have a fantasy relationship with this incredibly weak/badly-written female character and repeatedly "make poundcake" with her and drink rootbeer floats in diners or whatever. It's an 800+ page book (paperback is 1049 pages) supposedly about time traveling to stop the Kennedy assassination (which is a cool story idea), but like 700+ pages are filled with asinine garbage and the actual plot is thin and pretty bad.

  • Do not animals.

  • Qî(3)ngwù fàngshēng

    請勿. 放生

    (Please do not) (release captive animals)

    There is a Chinese Buddhist practice (放生) of buying captive animals like fish or birds to release them. They're trying to say not to do that here, but I imagine that the concept of fàngshēng is a little complicated to convey.

    "This is about our US democracy": this is what a 'No Kings’ protestor told pro Palestinian protestors

    Jump

  • Nah. This is common sense protest stuff. For your message to be clear, and to prevent being spun by the other side, you need a concise message.

    Like imagine if at your pro-Palestine protest you also had random people with anti-Trump, anti-tariff, anti-Argentina bailout, pro-union, anti-AI, etc. etc.

    Suddenly your protest isn't a pro-Palestine protest. It's a partly pro-Palestine, partly economic, anti-Trump protest with labor rights and anti-AI sentiments. The media now gets to choose how they cover it. They will likely say that the group does not have clear goals or will say that if you are pro-Palestine you are necessarily pro those other things too - which may alienate and confuse some of the folks watching at home because the media gets to conflate those things even if they don't have to go together.

    Protests need a clear, unambiguous, concise message.

  • How to stop grinding teeth?

    Jump

  • For TMJD one of the major things to recover is to develop a relaxed jaw posture. Say "mine" - the position of your jaws and tongue at the end of the word is proper posture. Your teeth should not touch at rest.

    Teeth slightly apart, tip of tongue on roof of mouth (lightly). Be mindful throughout the day and maintain that position. When you catch yourself with bad position, fix it.
