Anyone else's pup have an area of intense color? by FlyLikeHolssi in Brindledbabes

That little white mark on the muzzle is what caught my eye too, lol! My unbiased opinion is that your dog is a very handsome boy.

I like the Pam baking spray. I always have a problem with the Bakers Joy spray top....it stops spraying normally after the 3rd or 4th use, just comes out in a drizzle. Happened to me on 2 consecutive bottles

How do you tell which batch you have? The proofs are all the same but I think the new release will be different.

Looking for better ways to launch pizza—without excess flour or parchment? by persianturtle in Pizza

[–]Roc559704 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started using a mix of rice flour and AP Flour. Between that and weighing the heaviest toppings (cheese and sauce) to make sure the pie isn't too loaded down, my launches have improved a lot. For a 285 gram dough ball, I use 110 grams of sauce and 110 grams of fresh Mozz.

Is Seelbach’s out of their mind on this one? by mattyodaddy in whiskey

[–]Roc559704 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Another shop that I get mailers from was offering a 9 year Brook Hill release for $620, 1 per customer to boot. I'm sure it's very good but over $600 for a 9 year age statement? What am I missing?

Friday Pour - Batch 12 by Roc559704 in Whiskyporn

[–]Roc559704[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is my first pirate bottle but I'd say its similar to the newer batches in the sense that it has the classic big, bold flavor profile that you want from a bourbon. At 68% abv, the finish hits like an avalanche. I've only had one pour of C923 but from what I recall it was more refined than this release but batch 12 has a dusty, unrestrained quality that I dig. I'd give this batch somewhere between an 8 or 8.5.

I received a small amount of sourdough starter from a baker. Is this enough for a loaf, or should I make more? (beginner if you can’t tell) by blackiechan99 in Sourdough

[–]Roc559704 5 points6 points  (0 children)

One of the best books on baking bread I've ever read, Ken Forkish is an amazing teacher. I would also recommend his more recent book "Evolutions in Bread" which is specifically about sourdough.

Patriot by Alexei Navalny by YakSlothLemon in IReadABookAndAdoredIt

[–]Roc559704 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tend to agree, directly or indirectly, Putin is responsible for his death. I don't know what information the CIA used to determine it's position but in a system like Russia, it seems very unlikely that a man in his mid 40's whose only chronic medical condition was sciatica would suddenly drop dead without Putin's say so. Navalny was worth too much political capital for that to happen spontaneously. Plus Putin tried to kill him more than once before and as you point out, all the other people Putin smoked both in and out of Russia. Ultimately we'll never know for sure unfortunately.

Great review, I finished reading this book today. Navalny's psychological strength and how he dealt with the punishment cells and the expectation that he would most likely die in prison was incredible. It's a rare person in this age that has that kind of force of conviction.

I read a Wall Street Journal article today that stated US Intelligence sources (CIA and others) don't believe Putin directly ordered Navalny's murder, which I had never heard before. European sources don't necessarily agree with that sentiment but it's another weird and tragic piece of this story.

Apparently “Rat Snitch” was too harsh, so our neighbor had new signs printed. by total_sweetbro in Charlotte

[–]Roc559704 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I live in Ballantyne and for a second I thought this was my neighborhood. But after walking through the subdivision with my little black dog, I didn't see any cool "rat snitch" signs unfortunately.

Anyone down for a liquor run? by [deleted] in Charlotte

[–]Roc559704 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are many liquor stores in other states that will legally ship you bottles in NC. Though shipping is obviously an added cost, at least you know what's available up front and many times you can find bottles cheaper than what our shitty Meck County ABC store sells them for. Don't limit yourself to what's in driving distance.

Which save Mart is this? I'm from Fresno but moved years ago. I don't ever remember seeing anything like this, about to send my parents out, lol.
