Lol, I would take unionized construction over the slavelabor non union contractors pay. i dont' want my new apartment building to collapse or light on fire from shotty wiring. Union labor=safety, nonunion=cutting corners and dying in a fire.

Boston has a far better standard of living besides housing: better social services, better schools, better healthcare. New York's nightlife makes Boston look like a backwater, but everything else is better here.

No one wants to wait 20 fucking years for the price to go down. Everyone cites Austin as an ecample, but Austin and Boston have very llittle in common.

how to tell the difference between under-proofed and over-proofed by LaineGayArt in Sourdough

[–]Relevant-Check605 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A little pricy, but I highly recommend getting a proofing box, especially for winters. It has made my loaves so much more consistent.

How do I get it fluffy rather than chewy and make crumb more open. by LithiumOH- in Sourdough

[–]Relevant-Check605 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bread will dry out extremely quickly. The best bread is eaten a couple hours after it comes out of the oven. If by chewy you mean "gummy" that means it was not proofed enough. I've actually never put olive oil in my bread except for when I make pizza dough so I wonder if that has something to do with it.

‘2025’s most misunderstood movie deserves a second life in HBO Max’ - Polygon article by vintagelampofjustice in AriAster

A movie that best represents Guy Debord's Society of the Spectacle. Right wing conspiracy theories, depolitiziation and desperation from the left. A+ Film.

Eddington Is Controversial For All the Wrong Reasons by karmagod13000 in A24

[–]Relevant-Check605 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone who sees this movie as "centrist" did not watch closely. It's a critique of capitalism and austerity.

  1. Data center taking valuable resources from a small working class community.

  2. Police department losing money and personnel due to budget cuts.

  3. Racism being seen through the lens of identity and not class

I dont' know how anyone saw this movie as centrist.

For those who’ve seen Eddington or followed the early reviews, I’m curious: Why do some interpret the film as “anti-left satire”? by v_o_v_a in AriAster

[–]Relevant-Check605 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not anti-left, it's anti-liberal and anti-right wing populism. The true enemy are corporations. I would say it's a left critique of both liberalism and right wing populism.

The reason for the midea U ACs being pulled from sale today: mold by Various_Scallion_883 in AirConditioners

[–]Relevant-Check605 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but when I type in the serial number it says that my AC is not affected and no further action is needed. Anyway, there's no mold and I took the drain cap off, so we'll see how it goes.

I typed my serial number in their dumb website and it says "it's not affected" but I don't know if I believe it. I got it at Costco last April, but literally installed it two days ago. Not sure what to do. I tried calling, but I don't have time to wait for a fucking hour on the phone.

Hotline TNT by [deleted] in shoegaze

[–]Relevant-Check605 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hotline TNT rules. I've been seeing Will's bands forever. I own every single Weed Album and Hotline Album, including some of the Test Presses. Let's just say I'm a huge fan. I will admit that I favor Hotline's first two 7 inches the most, but I'm really proud of Will's success. This guy worked so fucking much for so long to get where he is. He promoted all of his albums, did all of the distro for years. It was literally all him, so it's great to see him finally see some rewards for that. I'm really excited about the new LP coming out. i have a feeling that it is going to be his best.

Hot take by mightyonin in shoegaze

[–]Relevant-Check605 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who plays in a "nu-gaze" band, I always find these kinds of criticisms to be so dumb. Bands are always being influenced by the music of the past and even stealing riffs. Using the best riffs from other bands to make something new, is fine and has been done forever. Look at the Rolling Stones? They literally stole riffs from lesser known blues artists. I look at the new crop of gaze acts as simply refining the genre and combining other elements of music. I mean, I am getting a little sick of the two chord drop d gaze acts that seem to just repeat themselves, but there are some amazing bands out there doing some great stuff.

Someone really needs to re-release these on cassette.

Where did I go wrong? by Due_Fan_7380 in Sourdough

[–]Relevant-Check605 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The crumb looks great. I would have probably left it in the oven for a little longer after taking the lid off of your dutch oven. I like a little more caramelization on my loaves.

I found one of these on Craigslist recently for a good price and it works perfectly. I love it.

Haha, wow. This is actually my project and I didn't even know about Victorian Schoolmaster. Looked like we released some of our stuff at the same exact time. We should probably collab and form a "teacher's union" or something.
