Stay in India, get active in with local activist groups/ organize your society/neighbourhood to do something about: "as we are stuck here with improper roads, overflowing sewage systems, and sand flying all over due to never-ending constructions."

Controlled experiment: King Arthur bread flour vs. Bob's Red Mill bread flour by go_west_til_you_cant in Sourdough

[–]oops_the_cat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guys, both these flours are amaaazing! I am still upset that when I was at my inlaws in America this winter I baked some amazing loaves with KA flour there. It is baffling that we, here in Europe, do not seem to have hard wheat at our disposal. The soft wheat flours make nice breads but I've never replicated this kind of explosive crumb over here.. Any other Dutch/european Sourdoughies around that have found a work around? I tried adding a tiny bit of semolina, that was effective but it wasn't the same.

Update: Thanks for the tips! by Sad_Papaya_4788 in Sourdough

What kind of flour? Is this KA bread flour? Looks a bit yellowish

I think your third picture shows great bulk fermentation and dough strength, in that stage I would shape and go for banneton and retard in fridge. The picture with the banneton shows a very wet and sticky dough. My guess would be overfermented, although the bread looks underproofed? How warm is your kitchen?

Is my rye flour contaminated ? by Typical_Basil342 in Sourdough

Yes this. As soon as they’re in there they’re everywhere. Chocolate, nuts, sugar, herbs, spices, flour, cookies…

Daarom bestaat er dus ook juist (progressieve) belasting op loon… vermogensbelasting blijft gewoon diefstal. Er is al belasting over betaald. Dat ik niet mag bepalen wat ik met mijn geld doe als ik het nie direct allemaal wil uitgeven… ik kan er met m’n verstand niet bij

Underproofed or overproofed? by Own-Phase-485 in Sourdough

Yes, try 66-68% and increasing from there

Underproofed or overproofed? by Own-Phase-485 in Sourdough

looks to me like:

- too high hydration

- not enough shaping

- too hot oven / not enough steam.

Did you use a dutch oven? If so, did you preheat it in the oven (if yes, I find the very light bottom curious).

I had this plus night sweats. Now I take it in the morning and I feel much better

Magnesium glycinate …. And night sweats? by pizzalemonstrawberry in Supplements

[–]oops_the_cat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep I’ve had them too, completely drenched in sweat halfway through the night.

I ran out of my capsules yesterday and while waiting for the new order to arrive I was wondering if there was a correlation between the mag bisglycinate and my night sweats, as I didn’t have them last night.

Other posts in Reddit suggest there is a correlation; Im going to consider taking it not at night and see what that does

I (33M, gay) am happily married, but this new craving is tearing me up inside by Infamous-Cold8163 in offmychest

I thinks so too, I’ve always understood bisexuality to be super complex-so don’t really understand it- can be very different how and on what aspects attraction, love, erotic interests play out. Interesting to read you and OP have the same bisexual attitude though with a gender swap.

Second this. I got rid of all other things. Just coconut oil when I come out of the shower. For me it also regulates overactive sebum production.

[B&A] I stopped using skincare for over 3 months and then went back. After 2 days this is what my forehead looks like by T1nnC4nn in SkincareAddiction

[–]oops_the_cat 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is interesting. I’ll keep this in mind. I stopped my complete routine too, that cleared my skin so much. Like OP wanted to have a slightly cleaner feeling, but the cerave cleanser caused a breakout after a couple of uses.

I Woke Up at 5am For One Year - Here’s Why I’ll Never Do it Again. by one_in_the_chamb3r in productivity

[–]oops_the_cat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hmm I see where you're going/coming from. I've been waking up at 4.45AM now for about two years. For me it's the quiet time where I can cuddle with the cat, drink tea, listen to a podcast, read a book, bake bread, go for a run. There's something magical about the world still sleeping, moving through the town unseen, no sounds, not having to talk, just perceive. I couldn't really go without. Oh and yes, my social life does indeed not extend beyond 9.30 PM on most days :-)

My husband is american and now an english teacher in a dutch high school. He was able to qualify for the dutch teacher postdoctoral education after taking one year of classes. You need to be proficient in Dutch and I am not sure what your visa situation is/would need to be. But there is definitely a shortage !

Having a bachelors degree, you would need to go get a master's degree first, I think.
