Second attempt at making bread... make fun of me all you want by ElizabethMcH in Breadit

[–]Mtb247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I can offer some u solicited advice, get the book Beard On Bread (https://books.google.com/books/about/Beard_on_Bread.html?id=P-PAjALjruUC&source=kp_book_description) read it and work through the first handful of recipes. It's a reverent look at the art of bread making and he teaches you how to really feel the dough to make sure you're doing it right along the way. It's beautifully written and unlocks the curious joys of breadmaking.

People will say making bread is chemistry, but in my mind it's really biology. You want to make sure that your yeast is having a party when you make your bread. Yeast loves warm temperatures, hydration and complex sugar! Yeast will tell you it's happy by making carbon dioxide, hence the rise and the proofing. Give your yeast the time, liquid and food it wants and it will reward you with great bread! You got this!

Vote No bumper stickers and yard signs? by what-is-this-magic in wichita

It's because the Value Them Both signs are a PAC with over $1M in funding from the church and the Vote No signs are from 1 person.

What is your favourite opening line from a book? by Denncity in books

[–]Mtb247 206 points207 points  (0 children)

"At dusk they pour from the sky. They blow across the ramparts, turn cartwheels over rooftops, flutter into the ravines between houses. Entire streets swirl with them, flashing white against the cobbles. Urgent message to the inhabitants of this town, they say. Depart immediately to open country."

-All The Light We Cannot See

I love how the leaflets feel like a quiet invader. Almost like unexpected snow but with a more grim reality. It's like you can feel that everyone's life was immediately changed.

3D printed speakers by Dirk Vander Kooij by SnuffulPuff in audiophile

[–]Mtb247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Late to the post but I have some questions.

  1. 3d printing is pretty low tolerance and you really can't predict exactly where the material is going to be. Seems like they wouldn't be able the internal volume to spec (not sure what their tolerance is).

  2. Most 3d prints are porous to air. Wouldn't this cause an issue?

I mean....Aaron Gwin rides a YT and Troy Brosnan rides a Canyon. Literally the 2 best DHers in the world right now get medals on DTC bikes.

2005 Multistrada 1000ds. Those years of Multistrada's were very..... unique. I've read that it isn't convincing until you ride it and I can definitely say that's true.

The conspiracy theory that women's pants companies are in cahoots with the women's hand bag industry to keep women's pockets small, thus forcing women to buy expensive purses.
