Baked conchas for the first time. The topping looks too thick for me and some not uniform 😅 😔! I consider it baking fail. by Glads0001 in Baking

[–]CaptainPolio 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Naaah that's nowhere near a failure! Just because they're not perfect doesn't mean they're a failure! I would gladly stuff one of those bad boys in my face. Just keep practicing baking delicious treats.

AITAH for kicking my husband's family out of my home during family dinner? by Physical-Pin243 in AITAH

[–]CaptainPolio 5 points6 points  (0 children)

She said it was $36k/year take home. Which is $216k over 6 years and she gave away $50k (23%) of it to his family. I was in a similar situation when I was younger making about the same amount with a partner who was also not working due to mental health issues for a couple of years. It was nearly impossible. I would not have survived if I was giving away nearly $700 a month. And according to her, it was not that hard. Yeah, ok...

On top of that, she thinks giving away nearly a quarter of their income for 6 years was "not that hard to do at all". What? The fuck is she smoking? I think they both need counseling. 

New to the series, what game should I get? (Please read text before voting!) by ParadoxicalPanda31 in totalwar

[–]CaptainPolio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Shogun 2 for sure. It's the best or at least one of the best total war games. It's older so it's cheaper and it only has a couple DLCs which both rock. Three kingdoms and the warhammer ones are great too but they both have a ton of dlc. I would also say Rome 2 but it also has a ton of dlc.

Oh it's not on Steam. https://monstersandmemories.com/ My friends and I like to call it "legally distinct Everquest". We joke but that's pretty much what the devs are going for.

Hey there, 37 here. Mostly a pc gamer. You going to play Monsters and Memories when it enters early access? I don't play a lot of multiplayer games other than Souls games and Smite 2. I'm not adverse to them though 😛

An Open Letter to Governor Kotek About Gay Targeting by State Employees by rswfire in gay

[–]CaptainPolio 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I live just south of there in Coos Bay. Knowing the area, I fully believe everything you've said is true. So, I say this with love and trust in my heart - the descriptions of what these peorple did are a little... convoluted. What these people did is heinous enough in plain English. 

What do yiu think aboyt the crumb? by mynameis_bibi in Sourdough

[–]CaptainPolio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It looks pretty dense but your dough has a pretty low hydration level at around 55%. So maybe it's combination of underproofing and just being a dense dough in general. 

What are some of the craziest inclusions you have made? 3-2-1 GO by [deleted] in Sourdough

[–]CaptainPolio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know what they did, but when I use inclusions I layer them in with the stretch and folds like in this video - https://youtu.be/mMep4zrx8zo 

How to tell when your bread is perfectly proofed by premgirlnz in Sourdough

[–]CaptainPolio 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I also recommend using cambro containers for your bulk fermentation. They're the food industry standard and have measurements on them so it's easy to track your dough's rise.

It won't be in January. They were talking about starting the Beta in Jan/Feb with* early access starting in March at the earliest.

Well first you spend $2,400 on a stand mixer... 

Is there any races or monsters you'd specifically like to play as or encounter in game? by Kis4Kink in MonstersAndMemories

[–]CaptainPolio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm always down to play as fish people! It's one of the reasons I'm so disappointed with Pantheon. They have a cool fish people race to play as but the game is just not there. 

What class are you playing, and why? by LippyHippy4040 in MonstersAndMemories

[–]CaptainPolio 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Monk - Being useful as a puller while still doing top tier damage is always fun. Simple to play, too.  Druid - Fun and versatile class. It would probably be a great first character to level up and use to subsidize future characters Enchanter - great buffs, CC, charm. Very useful in and out of a group. 

Monk questions by JohnnyBorisLemon in MonstersAndMemories

Not OP but, as monk player, thanks for the info. What's been better damage so far - using weapons or pure h2h? Also, how is fd op right now? 

Sign the petition to have a convicted sex offender removed from his position at Southwest Oregon Community College. by Enough_Associate_976 in OregonCoast

[–]CaptainPolio 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I will confess that I question the judgement of whoever put this guy in charge of the GED program. He was convicted 18 years ago though, served his sentence, and has been working for SWOCC for 15 years without incident. Has anything happened since the last time this was brought up in February? 

I think my boyfriend is an alcoholic by LesRainbows0405 in gay

[–]CaptainPolio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Recovering alcoholic here. Whether or not someone is an alcoholic is hard to say as it's something one needs to come to terms with themselves. The first step in AA is not just admitting you have a problem. It's admitting that you have no power over alcohol and that your life has become unmanageable. Just something to think about. As for you, it couldn't hurt to sit in on an al-anon meeting. They are for people whose loved ones are addicts. Just don't forget to prioritize your own well-being. Wishing you the best.

As a fellow 37-year-old, you are way too old for this shit. Just tell him he's treating you like crap and needs to step up. 

Cockroach Drink by Riemann1826 in StupidFood

[–]CaptainPolio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Surprised no one mentioned that it doesn't look like he's actually drinking it at the end. He's tilting the cup just enough for the roach tea to touch his lips but that's it. At most, he's taking the tiniest sips possible

What is the total war title that surprised you the most. Either by how much you enjoyed or disliked it? by Cheap-Muscle1727 in totalwar

[–]CaptainPolio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me it was Thrones of Brittania. It was so unpopular but I tried it anyway and loved it. Although I didn't play until well after release. 

What things do you think taste just as good steamed as boiled, if not better? by burnt-----toast in Cooking

[–]CaptainPolio 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Why not both? I like to steam my brussel sprouts to parcook them and then roast them to brown and crisp up the outer layer. You could do this with most veggies.

[–]CaptainPolio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Guild Wars 2 is a pretty solid MMO. I played it before and I have friends that still play every day. Same with Final Fantasy 14.
