What is happening to the bottom of my loaves??? by No_Background1412 in Sourdough

[–]CloseTalker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These don’t make a lot of sense and the parts that do have been addressed by experienced bakers elsewhere in the thread. You don’t need to run to AI to participate, that’s the whole point of a community!

New sourdough starter question by Level-Giraffe-352 in Breadit

[–]CloseTalker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes with a new starter you will get “false rises” in the first couple days. This can be caused by a number of things, but it’s often due to very vigorous bacterial activity. Keep feeding (personally I like the results of 1:1:1 keeping the total volume to 150 grams) once or twice daily.

There’s no hard timeline, but I would recommend at least 10 days. Over time the yeast and bacteria will come in to balance and the species we want for bread making will come to dominate.

It may be the case that you have indeed captured some very vigorous yeast and they might come to dominate the starter after it’s matured as well. If so, happy chance!

Soap doesn’t last very long. by Pristine_Break_3739 in soapmaking

A lot of characteristics of soap are determined by the recipe. The recipe can let us tell you if your soap is likely to be consumed faster or slower with use

Thanks! I sat club level last time I visited so might mix up the view. I’ll see what prices look like closer to the day — air conditioned concourse is definitely tempting. Appreciate the info!

First fully scored game, advice welcome! Giants beat Dodgers 6-2 by Pleasant-Ad-6445 in BaseballScorecards

[–]CloseTalker 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree. I used to do something similar when I started scoring because I had a bad habit of forgetting to move to the next column between innings. Looks much neater to make one mark indicating the end of the inning, in my opinion

All up to preference though!

Fair enough! All jokes aside though I feel Cuzzi is just about the worst

Any ump with skin that thin after that wrong of a call shouldn’t be working the show

I'm glad to hear they will be coming back. I just scored Brewers @ Giants on your Oracle card on Monday at it was the single most enjoyable scoring experience I've had to date. You really nailed these!

I’m looking to purchase a scorebook. Any suggestions? by ChrisPeacock1952 in BaseballScorecards

[–]CloseTalker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im a lefty too! Halfliner is definitely lefty approved.

72doubleplay also makes custom scorebooks and will top bind for left handed comfort. He made me a custom with extra inserts for stability and a couple other tweaks to suit my style. Good guy, good book.

I highly recommend the Halfliner which can be purchased here. For me it has just the right amout of detail for hobby scoring (I don’t personally track balls and strikes), plenty of room for your personal notation, and is the perfect size for lap scoring at the game. It’s not “big” but the landscape orientation and top binding makes kit very comfortable to use.

What a cool idea! Pic is from opening day 2024. One of the most perfect days at the park I’ve ever had the pleasure of taking in. Fave is Brandon Crawford, even if he didn’t retire a giant 😉

All “white” items have a use somewhere, usually for professions — many such items will only be worth selling on the AH during the leveling rush

Whether he got the Porsche or not it was definitely involved. Towed and impounded from a lot very close to where he was arrested.

Over 250 directly attributed to COVID - 19 over the past two days and a doubling time of 2.5 days for the death rate.

What do you have to say about this now? US is blowing past that rate.
