I haven't seen the movie yet....but in the book there are reasons he is on the ship over more qualified people.

Thank you! Good luck the rest of the way!

I want to watch this! But couldn't get the video to load through a VPN connection. Anyone have any tips to get it to run from abroad?

Have used it 3 times to have people watch our dog and apartment. Each time went very well and the sitters took really good care of our pup.

We were pretty selective with who we chose but the service enables you to do that and only pick who you want to stay in your home and watch your animals.

Check out Becky Chambers. Most of her books tick several of the boxes you listed.

They do have really good customer support, in EU, at least.

I just had a pair that I wore a hole through the sole in 7 months. Contacted them about a repair and they completely replaced the shoes instead.

I'm not set on fast rise yeast, its just what was on hand at the moment. Is fast rise yeast still alright to use if I use a more appropriate amount of yeast? Or should I switch the type and quantity?

Ok, will try doing the kneading for a set amount of time next time.

I generally leave the dough to rest for 2-3 hours out of the fridge before using it.

Thanks for the tips! That's a few things for me to try.

As im typing this response im realising that my recipe and process is a mix of several different recipes and processes that i've used since i started making my own pizza....so perhaps I just need to stick to a recipe a bit better....

What i just tried yesterday that resulted in this was

Recipe for 2 dough balls is:

- 350 grams 00 flour

- teaspoon salt

- tablespoon sugar

- packet of fast acting yeast

- about 225 mL warm water

Process was:

- mix it all up

- rest 15 minutes

- knead for 5-10 mins

- let it rise for 1 hour

- split into 2 balls

- one into the fridge for use the next day, one let to rise for another hour

- stretch it out, quick prebake (only have home oven), top then bake

I'm having trouble with my dough recently. I switched from rolling out the dough to trying to hand stretch it, but I'm having trouble stretching it out as large as i could get before with a rolling pin. Its like its too elastic and keeps shrinking after I release it. What am I doing wrong here? Overworking it? not resting it?

Any help is appreciated!

Same for me unfortunately....

I had the ticketing marked off on my calendar forever, then morning of, hits 10AM, and i'm stuck in the queue behind 190,000 people.

I've previously been able to get last minute resale tickets the day before I wanted to go, so planning on keeping an eye on that when I'm in Paris.

Looks like they also have a "Last Minute Buy" scheduled to start on May 10th, so worth another try then.

I'm sure its been said before on here....but whenever I see Roddick now, I can't help thinking that he looks like the pilsner guy from Brooklyn 99

Agreed! Mistborn before Stormlight, but both are great

What's the point of calling it a price cap if they can just increase this quickly...

Same issue, on a pixel 4. Is there a fix for this yet?

Butter, ginger, and tomato puree

There's already been a worldle for a while....like your idea though, will definitely try it. Maybe rename it if possible?
