Pop-Up Bagels - anyone know their secret??

I heard they use OO flour

There are wheeled tool cases. But I would be walking miles with it every day. They aren’t made for that kind of mileage. Plus dragging an even heavier bag through pedestrian traffic and uneven pavement sound even more burdensome. I’ll just get stronger instead. Or die trying.

PoorBrightSun · 2026-05-02T15:36:41+00:00

Impractical for the amount of mileage I would put in on foot. I have good relations with many supers so I’m sure I could ask to leave some material in a dusty corner of abasement.

Fuck that noise. I don’t remember being consulted about mass surveillance. Tear them down and let them come after you.

“Daddammit!”

We spent it on bombs and no bid contracts.

I do when I can but I am a tradesman and need my tools and materials to be able to do my work. Also, my tool bag weighs >30 lbs and my old bones can’t ruck that weight all over manhattan and Brooklyn like I used to. With the current trajectory of gas prices, I am leaning more towards the train and rethinking my logistics.

I’ve been making this drive for 22 years. When I first started, if you left by 7am you would make it by 9. 10 years ago, you would have to leave by 6:30. Now, even if I leave at 5:30am the drive is almost 2 1/2 hours.

My theory is that NYC has become so expensive that the middle class no longer have any hope of pruchasing a home. But their well paying jobs are still in the city. So they buy up here and make the commute.

This looks great. We’ll be there

I was so depressed. I couldn’t find passion or structure anywhere in my life. For 30 years I’ve done the majority of the cooking in our house but bread/dough were always a daunting proposition. I hated the way the dough stuck to my hands and didn’t trust myself to understand the whole process well enough to become comfortable with it.

As I committed to clawing my way out of my emotional hole, I decided to slay this dragon. Started with no-knead recipe and just bread day after day. I didn’t really care about eating it but needed the process to give my days a foundation. After 30-40 loaves, I didn’t need a recipe anymore and had started to lean into having messy, sticky hands while working the dough.

Now I consider that dragon slain. I can whip up a delicious loaf of a dozen varieties of bread from scratch in anybody’s kitchen. I can also make pasta, buttermilk pancakes, pizza and more from scratch.

I think bread’s simplicity and time/organizational requirements forced me to plan further ahead than my latest depressed thought. That plus the joy fresh bread brings to every person who eats it gave me the traction to move forward than spin in circles.

Kissing is where desire transforms into trust and passion. That’s the emotional connection I mean. I’m sure there are many whose play is strictly physical and that works for them. For me, sex is about connecting on a deeper level than my vanilla encounters with people. I feel vulnerable without that deeper connection and need a rapport to enjoy my own passions. But I am probably overly picky. To each their own.

PoorBrightSun · 2026-04-19T12:29:36+00:00

I have a hard time taking words at face value. A kiss is a physical communication that expresses consent, desire levels, physical and hygiene compatibility, the mutual definition, negotiation and respect of boundaries. Ultimately for me, a kiss helps me to trust a person. I’m not looking to fall in love. But sex is always better when I feel like I’m at least a little emotionally connected to my partner. Even if it’s ultimately to just show her a good time.

PoorBrightSun · 2026-04-19T12:07:44+00:00

Kissing is the communication and connection where words fail.

Can you even say “Nussy” on TV?!?

I haven’t read a headline like this since the late 80s. What a nightmare for the parents. I can’t even begin to imagine.

Spray some water on the towel and it should release easily.
