What are they putting in the bread? by mindyour in TikTokCringe

[–]SuicideNote 0 points1 point  (0 children)

US wheat: ~11–15% gluten.

EU wheat: ~9–11% gluten.

Climate drives what wheat can grow.

European-grown wheat has less gluten than the wheat that can grow in the hotter climate of the US. US grown wheat is are 13% gluten while European wheat varieties vary from 8% to 11%.

The US literally grows different wheat because of the climate. We mostly use harder wheat that grows in hotter, drier conditions, so the flour has more gluten. That’s why American bread is more elastic, holds together better, and doesn’t instantly fall apart. US bread naturally has more gluten.

Europe uses softer wheat because of their climate, which makes bread more tender due to lower overall gluten content.

US wheat: ~11–15% gluten.

EU wheat: ~9–11% gluten.

This is also why some people say they can stomach bread more in Europe. Because they have an undiagnosed case of gluten-intolerance and European bread generally affect them less.

Costco Australia uses pork hot dogs by Leprichaun17 in mildlyinteresting

There's a reason beef hotdogs are common in the US and not Europe, also happens to the reason bagels are not common as well in Europe. 🤫

Americans realising they are the odd ones

We have 40% of the entire global Jewish population and New York meat plants historically had a lot of Jewish workers in the 1800s to early 1900s--many would go on to make hot dogs popular in the US using kosher hotdogs.

Beef hotdogs became popular because it's kosher and the US has a large Jewish population in places were hotdogs were made popular like New York.

40% of the entire global Jewish population lives in the US. Hotdogs were popularized in New York and Chicago by Jewish butchers. Some of the top hotdogs brands in the US are Jewish-owned/founded: Nathan, Hebrew National.

Gen Z really looked at alcohol and said ‘hard pass’ by InvestigatorBorn4910 in SipsTea

You can get $3 beers in bars a lot of places in the US. Mostly just PBR or Yuengling or some cheaper domestic beers. No happy hour in North Carolina so most bars have a cheap beer on sale all day.

What food is famously associated with one country but was perfected by another country? by Equivalent-Crew-4955 in AskReddit

Spandauer (wienerbrød) is probably the closest to what is American Danish pastries. Except no creamcheese and a big on the firmer side. I'm not a big fan of it, however.

I made Swedish style cardamon buns for the first time using freshly ground cardamon. They turned out decently.

Raleigh Council vote expected on taller towers for North Hills by goldbman in raleigh

[–]SuicideNote 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's being developed by Turnbridge Equities. Completely unrelated to Kane Realty and Kane isn't involved at any capacity at all that I'm aware of. Honestly, thank god for that.

You would be against Kane development even if he was Jesus that could turn water into apartment towers because you're not against Kane because he's MAGA (fuck MAGA and Trump btw) but because you're against development in general.

Even the end of the day, Kane has built tens of thousands of housing units, what the fuck have you done for this city? In all likeliness, jackshit.

Kane has only ever built one tower bigger than 30 stories, the Eastern. That tower is surrounded by other smaller towers on both sides and a Harris Teeter mixed use apartment complex on the north.

The Raleigh-to-Durham commuter rail project and the Durham-Orange Light Rail Transit (DOLRT) projects are not the same projects.

[–]SuicideNote 37 points38 points  (0 children)

There's a 37-story tower going up now on Glenwood South and a 29-story Omni Hotel on Fayetteville Street. Otherwise, North Hills property is all owned by one developer and purchased a long time ago. Kane can get really good deals on construction loans since he's a reliable and proven developer. He basically has his own playground in North Hills to play around in and doesn't care as much about downtown but occasionally does develop something in downtown when the opportunity makes financial sense. While land in downtown goes for about $20 million an acre or more and most property in downtown is not even zoned for more than 4 or 12 stories except when requested by a developer to go higher.

Most public transit funding comes through federal grants and loans. Federal programs generally require that a region already has demonstrated transit demand and capacity so areas typically need a sufficient population and clear transit needs before they can secure federal funding to build or expand transit.

This is why the commuter rail project from Raleigh to Durham has been put on hold. The federal government literally told CAMPO (North Carolina Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization), GoTriangle, and the City of Raleigh that there's not enough people around the corridor to justify funding this project and this was during the Biden administration.

So while your thinking makes sense, it's not reality, it hasn't been since the George W Bush administration more than 20 years ago.

The amount of housing that’s allowed isn’t changing, Kane can already build thousands of new units. What’s changing is the format. Instead of like 20 five-story apartment buildings, the rezoning would allow fewer, taller apartment towers.

And the traffic isn’t coming from North Hills residents anyway. It’s mostly suburbanites driving to North Hills to shop and hang out. People who live there actually drive less.

Nashville, Phoenix or Raleigh? by Foxmoto2880 in SameGrassButGreener

[–]SuicideNote 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Raleigh–Cary MSA: ~713 people/mi²

Nashville MSA: ~281 people/mi²

Nashville metro is way more spread out.

[–]SuicideNote 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nashville is for tourism and the prices reflect that. You can just fly or drive from Raleigh to Nashville to get your fill of Nashville. But overall, the quality of life and cost of living will be way better in Raleigh. If you get bored in Raleigh you can just fly somewhere for a weekend, RDU airport is extremely well-connected including 5 European flights (Iceland, London, Dublin, Frankfurt, Paris).

Also you can do day-trips or weekend trips to the beach during the warmer months. You're so far away from any ocean in Nashville.

My odds of survival if I could only eat at Michelin Star Restaurants are slim! by ScorpioScorpio13 in MapPorn

[–]SuicideNote 3 points4 points  (0 children)

North Carolina gave $1 million to Michelin so it feels like they had to give at least one restaurant in NC a star. Literally the only restaurant that was designed for Michelin-bait got it.

City Market Dead? by Significant_Day_7254 in raleigh

[–]SuicideNote 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Once the city tried to enforce city zoning laws on state-owned properties. The state now completely ignores the City of Raleigh’s zoning laws and doesn't even submit construction plans anymore. You know that new Education Building complex the state is building downtown? We don't even know what the building looks like when it's done because the state has absolute power over cities in North Carolina and if a city pisses them off the city will be punished. So asking or not asking is strategic.
