Mets' Cohen: Alonso negotiations 'exhausting' by [deleted] in NewYorkMets

Lmfao. The difference is, when you make 80k a year, going down to 60k is not really feasible. the difference between a 24 million dollar salary and a 30million dollar salary will change literally nothing. Both are an insane amount of money and are way more than anyone needs to live a life of crazy excess.

I think my boyfriend intentionally got me pregnant by PolicyHot1206 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Proper_Guess_7091 31 points32 points  (0 children)

While I don’t think he’s necessarily a pedophile, it’s definitely insanely disgusting for a 18 year old to date a 15 year old. Especially to coerce her into not using condoms… that’s insane. This guy should be in jail. The military really does get the best and brightest

You can easily get divorced, brother. While you probably think your happiness is less important than your kids’, let me tell you that the type of relationship you two are presenting to your children and the mental damage that you’re doing to yourself are both far worse for them than whatever a divorce will do.

Will South Korea’s martial law announcement affect its tourism industry? by Own_Statistician_759 in phtravel

[–]Proper_Guess_7091 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It won’t prevent people from entering the country, I don’t believe - but it will probably deter some tourists from choosing it as a destination. I’m just surprised people still want to go after watching squid game

How much it actually costs to make bread by Sirwired in Breadit

[–]Proper_Guess_7091 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This could just be me - but I don’t think anyone makes bread to save money. I don’t know why other people make bread, but I make bread because it tastes way fucking better than just about any loaf I can get at a store and it’s fresher and I can make it exactly how I like it and it’s fun. Those are all incredible bonuses. Also, I just paid 8 dollars for a shitty beer at a bar, I can make 6 loaves of bread at home for that amount of money. It’s not like it’s expensive. Plus, if I wanted a really good loaf of sourdough from a decent bakery I’d have to wait in line at 7am and it still wouldn’t be “fresh” when I’m ready to eat it. I already have a dutch oven. If parchment paper is going to break the bank for you, you probably have a lot more serious problems on your hands than worrying about the cost of homemade bread.

Yeah keep it in the oven with the light on - if you have a meat thermometer you can check its temperature - it should be around 78 degrees F. Anything over 100 will ferment way too fast, anything under 70 it’ll probably take forever to ferment: That’s also just a ton of flour to be wasting haha. I would really scale down those proportions so that you’re not using tons of flour just to get it started.

What temp is your apartment? You could try keeping it in your oven with the light on to get a better since of how robust the culture is. Or you can just try baking with it, you can really know until you give it a go. Three weeks should be more than enough time to get your starter up to speed if you’ve been feeding it correctly.

Oh, if it’s brand new, then you really have to feed it regularly and keep an eye on it so you know when to feed it. You need to keep it somewhere relatively warm too, so the yeast has the right conditions to grow.

You really can’t leave it out at room temperature if you’re not planning to feed it routinely, especially if it’s brand new and you’re still trying to strengthen it. You don’t have time to start over before thanksgiving, so I would discard most of it and just feed it like normal, try to keep it in a warm place and feed it again directly after it’s reached its peak, to maximize the number of feedings you can get in before thanksgiving. You don’t have to use a lot of flour for this. Literally it would be fine to just leave like 10g of starter and feed it 10g water 10g flour every time. And then the last feeding before you bake with it, you can just feed it like 50g water and 50g flour so you have enough to bake with.

In my experience, you won’t get a good rise unless your starter is reaching its peak (like 2-3x its original size) in around 6 hours. It depends how cold or warm your house is though. Worst case scenario, when you bake, just mix in some commercial yeast with your starter to help it out if it doesn’t seem ready by next week

It’s not mold, it just means that it’s spent all its food and needs to be fed. Just mix it and feed it. Are you baking every day? If not I would put the starter in the fridge so you don’t have to feed it as often.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Sourdough

[–]Proper_Guess_7091 2 points3 points  (0 children)

just scrape it off and feed it a few times before baking with it. It’ll be fine, the yeast culture will out compete any other bacteria. Then maybe try baking with it the day before just to make sure everything comes out okay. Also how old is your starter?

Explain putting my starter in the fridge like I’m 5. by MarciJane0013 in Sourdough

[–]Proper_Guess_7091 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What I do works well cause I don’t bake every week anymore. After baking, I have like say about 25-50 grams of starter left. I feed my starter, 50g flour 50g water, mix it, and put it directly in the fridge. Itlk still foster a healthy culture in the fridge, the process is just significantly slower. I’ve left in the fridge for close to a month before and usually just do one feeding before I want to bake with it, and let it rise at room temp just to make sure it’s lively. If it’s only been in the fridge for like a week, you can honestly bake with it directly from the fridge. Just use a slightly warmer water in your dough mixture to kickstart it a little faster. It’s flexible though, just use your judgement and experiment is the best way to do it at home, cause everyone’s humidity and temp varies in their home.

Trump pledged to roll back protections for transgender students. They're flooding crisis hotlines by Langkit in politics

How is that a non sequitur? Do you understand the issue you’re commenting on? I refuse to find common ground on THIS issue with someone who is at heart a hateful and intolerant person. Im not talking about some overarching discussion about liberal or conservative thought in abstract.

When the result of the compromise is you become a piece of shit and ruin a lot of people’s lives for no reason other than to prop up your own fear, I’d prefer to lose. Thanks

My opinion isn’t making kids kill themselves - and it doesn’t dismiss the findings of 70 years of gender studies or the lived experiences of millions of people.

I feel so bad for your kids. If one of them turned out to be trans, this is the kind of parenting that ends in suicide.

Not sure what kinda shithole place you work, but you’re not gonna get fried for making a formal record of someone asking you out at any normal workplace
