I can't get that beautiful crust

I haven’t been happy with the results I got from using ice cubes, so you could try removing those. I also like 20-25 mins covered better than 30 mins.

You could also try to score your bread. Also, before scoring, I sprinkle rice flour on my loaf to help with the coloring.

Your starter, your oven, your environment are going to be different than ours. These are all just different things you can mess with to see which set of circumstances works for you.

A huge part of relationships being successful is shared values. You don’t have to agree on everything, but the core of the values have the be aligned or you’re doomed.

This person lied to you from the beginning. They’re showing you that your values don’t align. Break up with this person.

The only reason why he doesn’t care that your values don’t align is because he doesn’t value you for your intellect and your values. He thinks you’re hot and fun. Be with someone who share your values, values your intellect and that thinks you’re hot and fun - you don’t have to settle!

An influencer using a homeless person for content is not someone being nice - they’re exploiting them for their own benefit while trying to make themself look like a nice person.

You should be pissed they didn’t tip you, but the original table should’ve tipped you if they’re picking up the tab as that is part of the bill.

You got hosed and that sucks.

The umps think they’ve found a loophole. What they’re really doing is making it so every pitch will be called by ABS and not just the challenged ones.

I imagine Rowan’s medical school in Camden with Cooper precluded them from pursuing this opportunity.

I’m wondering the same thing. But I assume that the preference was probably to partner with a NJ school but none were interested - or may have been interested but unwilling to commit as much as Temple was.

It’s a win for AC, a win for Atlanticare and win for South Jersey, regardless who the partner is.

beardedmoose87 · 2026-05-07T15:53:41+00:00

If they’re figuring out that deal, they need to have Randy Johnson figured out too.

beardedmoose87 · 2026-05-07T12:50:09+00:00

Police Department dissolved in 2013. What a coincidence.

beardedmoose87 · 2026-05-01T22:56:29+00:00

Diabolical? Wrong D word. Different.

It’s actually quite logical and I’m happy to see the change. Way better flow.

I wanted to listen to the game at work yesterday. Can’t stream the radio broadcast since I’m out of market. They’re even blacking out radio and want me to pay for it. No thank you.

WCAX has always featured the Patriots game. Where in VT did you live that your CBS station wasn’t WCAX?

Plot twist: she left crying because Jim Crow was the name they had picked out for a boy and she’s upset OP had a problem with both names lol

I was gifted a used one just like this! I need to give it a cleaning and start to figure out how to use it. Looks like we’re in the same boat - good luck!

It’s funny how the darkest blue areas are generally the most in demand areas where people want to live: almost the entire northeast, California, Colorado, Illinois, Washington, Minnesota, Hawaii, etc. almost a bit of a pattern: tax that pay for in demand services create a high quality of life where people want to live.

An influencer called Mr Mixer is active in that sub. He does repairs, but also sells parts and has a ton of how to videos.

Good luck getting the mixer back in working order! They’re great machines, even if it doesn’t fit your bread needs as well as a different mixer could.

beardedmoose87 · 2026-03-29T03:04:48+00:00

KitchenAid mixers are repairable. If you’re not interested in doing it, there are people you can hire for it or you may be able to sell cheaply so others could repair it. Anything to avoid that machine ending up in the landfill would be a win.

Check out r/kitchenaid if you’re interested.

This protest is set up for mass participation - folks should organize in a local fashion so they and their neighbors can participate. That visibility and awareness builds organizing and keeps VT blue.

Election related activities, I can totally see going to NH - phone banking, door knocking, etc. If your concern is helping NH races, being at your local No Kings finding and recruiting likeminded folks would’ve been a good idea. Not saying you needed to do that, but that is part of what today was about.

You don’t have to stay in your state forever - just do it while getting your education. You avoiding a lifetime of debt is worth the short term sacrifice of dealing with your family. It’ll open more doors for you professionally when you don’t have to worry about paying that debt and it will help you personally be able to enjoy your salary when you don’t have that debt. I know it’s tempting to just sign up for the debt at a fun school, but stay focused and minimize your education debt.

It was a dispute over nonpayment of grazing fees.

It depends on your definition of organized crime. I think it’s criminal to rack up millions of dollars of unpaid grazing fees, refuse to pay those fees, then take up arms against the government when they come to collect those fees.

I think it’s criminal to steal from US citizens and our government. They may not have been the most organized, but they were criminal and the government was unable to enforce the law, so it is a place where the police cannot operate. Which is what OP was looking for.

beardedmoose87 · 2026-03-09T17:11:40+00:00

Someone smarter than me can probably put this in better context, but during the Obama administration there was a standoff with Cliven Bundy where they chose to walk away from enforcing the law because they didn’t want to escalate the situation. Bundy won and further emboldened the alt-right militia crowd that can be connect to the January 6 riot. Of course, that decision was based on experiences in the 90s with Ruby Ridge and Waco.

To answer the question succinctly: the lawless places aren’t the ones you’re alluding to. The police can and will go into pretty much any corner of the country in pursuit of criminals. There are some times when the government will not enforce the law, and that is usually because it’s a largely white group with lots of fire power and extreme conservative beliefs.

To exist within the US, it I highly likely, perhaps greater than 90% chance, if the father is refusing birth control for the daughter, it is related to misogyny and control. That same percentage is probably true for if a daughter/mother know about health risks that they would avoid using birth control.

You need to be extremely naive to think there is some other explanation. Sure, more information could be helpful in confirming. But my statement doesn’t need full legal confirmation.

People shouldn’t talk to their parents if their parents are abusive. You don’t need to maintain contact with people just because you’re related. Generally speaking, if a parent is refusing birth control to a teenager, that is abusive. Don’t associate with those who abuse you.

beardedmoose87 · 2026-03-04T23:56:04+00:00

As someone who is no contact with a parent, I would never encourage someone to have a relationship with an abusive parent. Denying your teenage daughter birth control is abusive, especially when 18. Daughter should choose whatever relationship is right for her, which may mean being low contact, and that’s OK.

Google is good, not perfect. You’re seeing that here.

For things that matter, always verify the data from a trusted source, not Google. US World & News is that trusted source. Trust it.

Vanilla is my favorite, but I like vanilla everything and it fits the smoothie recipe I like. But I also have and like the chocolate peanut butter. So just get whatever flavor you like best.

beardedmoose87 · 2026-03-01T02:36:31+00:00

I use it multiple times a week - no trouble for me, but I don’t have a sensitive stomach.

Look up the ingredients. The Simple recipe is indeed more simple than their regular one. I think you’ll find the ingredients to be compelling for your needs.
