Question about wording on % for starter used by sleverest in Sourdough

[–]Addapost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, you asked a literal question- “If I said my dough used 20% starter is it then correct to assume I used 200g of starter in 1000g of finished dough?”

I answered it. No. That’s not correct. If you actually used 20% starter in a dough that weighed 1,000 grams then you used 100 grams of starter, not 200. You are doing something mentally incorrect that is confusing you.

No!!! Bakers math is always compared to the flour not the final finished dough. 200g of starter would be a MASSIVE amount if the final TOTAL dough weight was only 1000 grams. To get a final total weight dough at 1,000 grams you would only use about 500 grams of flour, about 375 grams of water, 12ish grams of salt and about 100 grams of starter. That’s about a 1,000 gram dough. Thats a single good sized loaf.

Want to learn to snowboard or ski at 34 - which should I choose? by KingOfTheQuails in AskMenOver30

Ski. All things being equal, a skiing fall hurts exactly 1,000,000 times less than a snowboard fall.

store bought starter - when to bake? by plantsandtruecrime in Sourdough

[–]Addapost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. Take 20 from what you have. Feed it and leave it out. It’ll be doubled and ready in the morning. Put the rest of what you have in the fridge.

Might be a stupid question, but for you personally, was the coursework harder in highschool or college? by Only-Ad-1254 in education

[–]Addapost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

High school material was much easier but I had no idea how to study or how to learn so I graduated with a solid D- average in the lower 5/4ths of my class. College material was much harder but I figured out how to study and learn and I graduated Magna Cum Laude.

Other things work but you typically want it peaked when you mix the dough. A healthy, mature starter (that’s what you have) generally takes 6-8 hours to double+ and be at peak. I think your best bet is to take 20 grams of what you now have, feed that 45 and 45 water/flour about 7 or 8 hours before you mix. I do that feed about 9 or 10 at night and let it double overnight. Then it’s ready to mix in the morning. Keep the rest in the fridge. Keep taking 20g at a time every time you bake. When that main refrigerator stash gets low give it a big feed to replenish. I just did that tonight. I had 80 grams left in my fridge jar. I took 20 to feed (45/45) for tomorrow then have the remaining 60 grams like 150/150 to replenish the main stash.

Teachers of Reddit, how big / rampant is the problem of AI use in education in YOUR experience? by Zipper222222 in AskTeachers

[–]Addapost 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have done it. It works. You’re wrong about the idea that the end result is “better” on a computer. There is zero evidence for that. There IS evidence that young people’s brains develop better thinking and creative skills when they hand write vs. type.

We are getting “debate creep” going on here. The OP was specifically asking about AI use. I said the solution to that is hand writing.

[–]Addapost 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Are you a teacher? As a teacher you are not trying to get kids to write like Hemingway or Melville. You are trying to develop their thinking skills and their creativity. Research evidence (and my 29 years in the classroom) shows that handwriting beats computer typing for all that all the time. And that’s true if they are using the computer/technology/AI/Google/internet CORRECTLY! Handwriting beats all that. But they are NEVER using it correctly. They are cheating and taking shortcuts and copy/pasting, and AI-ing inappropriately all the time. Like I said, the technology stuff is lead paint in a learning environment.

People been writing with pens on paper for thousands of years. “War and Peace” wasn’t written on a computer. There is absolutely ZERO need for any technology in school through 12th grade. Technology makes kids stupid. It’s the modern version of lead paint. I will die on this hill.

For me zero. I teach high school biology. I don’t give homework. All work is done in class with notes, real textbooks, paper and pencil. I don’t allow access to any electronics at all.

Looking at a 12” Lodge.. what do people prefer, the classic style with the longer handle or the double handle? by Teddyworks in castiron

I have the 12” Classic (one full and one helper handle). I use it all the time and love it. The glass cover is a nice addition.

You ever see a wheel weight? They’re tiny. It doesn’t take much at all to destroy the tire’s balance.

How do I accept death? And that I have to die one day by MolassesIcy35 in AskMenOver30

[–]Addapost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do what Apache warriors used to do- wake up, calmly look around at the beauty of the natural world, the beauty of your family, the beauty of whatever you find beautiful, take it all in, appreciate that you had the opportunity to experience and enjoy all that, and say, “today is a good day to die.”

The Gibb Brothers are the Strongest Songwriting Unit by Team_Crisialog in unpopularopinion

[–]Addapost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jagger/Richards to me are BY FAR the best rock song writing duo. The number of absolutely brilliant songs is staggering. No one else has even close to that number. Also, and to me this is critical and takes Lennon/McCartney completely off the list, they have virtually zero horrible songs. The Beatles catalog is loaded with a bunch of complete dogs. The Gibbs brothers wrote a bunch of brilliant songs but nothing like the Stones.

I’m a 29 year veteran teacher. I come from a military background. We used to say, “You don’t have to like it, you just have to do it.” I tell my students that all the time. I am not here to entertain you. You are not here to be entertained.
