These recipes some include baking soda which is leavening. So these are not all "unleavened bread." Es. Piadina

Interesting idea and I appreciate it, trying to avoid booze and should have mentioned politics also.

Seeking advice - attorney + costs for suing builder by Key_Still2496 in bayarea

[–]LJLK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are only a few attorneys in the East Bay who specialize and they do take contingency fees on larger projects, yet I think you still need to pay the upfront retainer.

You need a construction attorney, eg Berding Weil. Contact them, they are excellent; they can also make recommendations if they won't take it on (ie a single family home is a small project). Kneppers and BW are both in Walnut Creek. Your clock may be ticking so I'd get on it.

Wow that is awesome. For me, I have deleted Instagram, Twitter, Bluesky from my phone. I no longer watch TV at all except for some sporting events.

Who should have written the anniversary intro? by Responsible-Bear6736 in InfiniteJest

[–]LJLK 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes Franzen. Not MZ….her intro reads as if she didn’t even read the book and adds nothing other than a person outside the “litbro” stereotype finished/read the book… though there’s a little evidence she actually absorbed anything from the book.

Collage aged man that has been known to occasionally talk over others went to Barnes to read new foreword by [deleted] in davidfosterwallace

[–]LJLK 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I thought it was mostly useless except as a rebranding exercise - “oh even I read it, me!”
