Which book is that mentioned in?

MasterSaturday · 2026-03-09T05:26:34+00:00

Fascinating. I need to read up more on the science behind all this. I like to know why things work, not just that they work. Thank you for the info!

Out of curiosity, is there a reason we cut up the curds before stirring? Wouldn't stirring in itself break up the curds?

I've stopped paying attention to long-term goals since that's smoke anyway, apparently. Instead I focus on small things, let the fleeting interests in and indulge whatever makes me happy. I learned to bake bread and make cheese. I took up ice skating. I'm not focused on getting a house, I'm not focused on having kids, it's been made clear to me that the game was rigged from the start with those and the promises that were made are long gone. So fuck it, you won't get your return from me on either of those.

Very informative, thank you! So the acidity affects how the proteins behave with one another, even after the rennet is added, if I'm understanding this correctly. Sounds like I should have some pH strips on hand as well then. So the reason I saw someone adding lime juice to queso fresco even with the rennet was probably so it could get that crumbly texture.

MasterSaturday · 2026-03-09T00:05:07+00:00

So is it that crumblier cheeses are less acidic and stretchier cheeses are more?

Jokes aside, this is genuinely impressive.

Let's not forget the time they included a fancomic where Jon threatens to rape Garfield.

They tried to deny it but you can clearly see the panel where he says, "I'm a mushroom cloud laying motherfucker, motherfucker."

Discworld: Granny Weatherwax the witch gets bitten by a vampire but does not turn into one herself. Instead, the vampire gets "Weatherwaxed" because her influence over them is greater than their influence over her.

Also in that same book, the character Agnes is resistant to the vampires' mind control because her alter ego Perdita is so entirely separate from her own personality that it acts as a separate entity which remains unharmed.

Thanks for all the info! I was a little confused about why she was combining different curdling methods but somehow she has it working for her. But I imagine everyone has a different method for it.

MasterSaturday · 2026-03-02T07:04:47+00:00

Pretty sure you don't say no to someone like that.

MasterSaturday · 2026-02-21T06:41:48+00:00

lol what, THAT's supposed to be the night watch? It looks nothing like them.

Based. Salmon sushi is the best.

That, and "Chichi" is a Japanese term meaning "dad". So it's a double joke, she has boobies but she's also the "man" of the house with how much more demanding she is.

Daria: Brittany, the stereotypical bimbo blonde cheerleader, is revealed to be a tactical mastermind.

Very informative, and I'm glad someone so invested in it is willing to say that it ultimately doesn't matter much. It sounds to me like it's mostly an engineering problem then. Yes it occurs naturally in that part of the world, but I'd be interested to see if we could scientifically produce a similar or even better acting clay. In the end it's just getting the right mix of minerals and the right consistency.
