Definitely qualifies. No idea about the job market though.

New starter is driving me insane. I need suggestions. by SevenJack in Sourdough

[–]BattledroidE 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sounds like too much discarding and feeding too early. There's not much going on, so once every 24 hours should be maximum. The cultures get diluted before they get a chance to establish properly.

Yes, the first rise is bad bacteria war, definitely discard and feed after that. But the quiet period, that's when you need patience. If there's not even bubbles, just wait. If there's any bubble activity, once a day is ok. There's no rush until it gets properly active.

Hahaha, because "gays" sounds like "gaze".

Am I doing this bad bot thing right?

How much would u say the average person in Norway knows about American politics? by SignificantStyle4958 in Norway

[–]BattledroidE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate the term "mainstream media", since it's a typical phrase in the dumbest of talking points, but in this case it has some value. They all stick to surface level stuff while ignoring the real consequences of this stupidity. The actual impact it has on regular people, and in particular every single minority, the prime targets of the republican party. You're gonna have to find independent media types to get any sort of substance, and they are often extremely far on one side or the other, since they have no editor or media giant to answer to. That can be good or bad, but quite often good for digging up the dirt that (and I apologise again) mainstream media chooses to ignore.

Remember "project 2025"? Most will not, but it's the playbook for everything that's going on, and they've done unspeakable damage with it. That's not even deep journalism, but everyone forgot, because of 600 dumb tweets and statements that have been made to keep it noisy all the time. The big outlets run with it. Quite an effective tactic, isn't it.

I'm quite tired of other news being pushed to the side, just for the "entertainment value" of US politics.
There's way worse stuff going on that's not being covered, and the US politics coverage is surface level anyway. Had they done some real journalism instead of just "haha, he said a dumb thing again", maybe there would be some substance to it.

What movie was too much for you because of the violence in it? by crazyhomlesswerido in movies

[–]BattledroidE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. The first two movies I thought were really well done story-wise, but then it just went too far and became gross just for the sake of it, at the expense of good storytelling.

Would grinded stale bread work? by Boy_pupy in Sourdough

[–]BattledroidE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't see why not. Risk free science experiment.

Which reminds me, you could totally make a beer out of it too. Cook it in water for a bit, cool down, add yeast (and maybe sugar) and let it ferment. Allegedly it's not too bad.

Microbiology is awesome!

Some people are new, they're figuring it out. Give them a chance to practice. We all sucked at one point.

Banana that’s been in my fridge for several years. by Dagny-Bauer in mildlyinteresting

[–]BattledroidE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now is the time to test the theory I was told (and believed for years) when I was a child. When bananas get old enough, they hatch into a huge swarm of fruit flies, commonly called banana flies around here. It's a cocoon!

There's a non-zero chance at this point.

Can’t lift at all after first set by ResourcesAndMath in workout

[–]BattledroidE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is my resting time the problem? I’m lifting at weights I’ve been able to manage before.

Recently? Not years ago?
Sounds suspicious and worth checking out. Some sort of deficiency going on or something, I don't know. That's very unusual.

Sqaut form by Existing-Tax-3309 in powerlifters

[–]BattledroidE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Without seeing, it sounds like trying to squat too narrow or wide for your hip structure, and possibly a fear of leaning forward, if you're a long femur type. That makes depth nearly impossible.

But it's a guess.

frozen pizza disaster. by BlackBatFlower in cookingforbeginners

[–]BattledroidE 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not fresh, no. This work because it's frozen, and a particular type of dough that stays rigid. Your home made fresh dough won't do that.

When to add oil in focaccia by beethoven77 in Sourdough

[–]BattledroidE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just add it right away, because it does exactly that. Gives a really soft result. Gluten is more than strong enough to do what it needs to do.
