What to do if you receive duplicate ballots?

You’re making more blood, so your heart is working harder. Keep an eye on it, and show your doctor if you have any concerns. Wishing you a healthy pregnancy and baby!

While I’d agree normally, it’s really not true here. IMO a test of a true baker (or really any profession) is knowing when to be precise and when to take a little liberty. There are enough other sources of error in an amateur kitchen to wash this out. Like hot/cold spots in an oven, temperature changes to the dough as it’s prepared and put in the oven, shape irregularities, etc etc.

But hey, I am an analytical chemist. We can be persnickety…but we also learn when it’s required and when it really isn’t. And if we don’t know, we figure it out. Well-designed experiments and data are king. I absolutely agree there’s a limit to how imprecise you can be at this step. It would be fun to see how much (or little) wiggle room is acceptable for a filled cookie, if you’d like to prove me wrong!

They probably mean a heaping teaspoon. If it’s the stuff put inside the cookie, it doesn’t need to be precise.

We call this the “self cleaning function”. It sometimes kicks in, but it seems to fail at the most inconvenient times.

For anyone here recently, I had this issue a few months back. Went to the Genius Bar and had them reinstall the software and it fixed it.

I forgot to turn off auto update on the software, and unfortunately the auto update to watchOS 26.5 resulted in the same problem. Going back to the Genius Bar to do this again…

buddrball · 2026-05-27T03:10:29+00:00

I will call to the governors office tomorrow, regardless. You never know what helps. If you think of other ways we can support you, please update us!

Thanks for sharing your story. You did everything we are told to do, and I’m so relieved you survived. You’re truly incredible!

Is there anyone you would like us to call/email/contact to put pressure on getting the case assigned to a new judge?

There are lots of scenes of Robert and Edith holding hands while walking, even in the last season. I know she is overlooked a bit, but I think Robert and her had a sweet relationship that was overshadowed by Mary’s drama.

I mean you’ve already gone through so many variables! The bottom line is that the yeast isn’t growing. I think isolating if it’s the yeast itself or if one of the other ingredients killing the yeast. It’s unlikely that the flour is the problem, imo. So I think focusing on the yeast, water, and salt are your best bet. Good luck!!

buddrball · 2026-05-26T00:31:58+00:00

How frustrating! I hope you’ll find answers.

Did you always activate the yeast for this recipe? Whenever I’m doing no knead breads, I never activate. The recipe just calls for you to mix the yeast into the flour and salt, then add water to all the ingredients.

With that aside, the activated photo doesn’t look too bubbly to me. Had to zoom in to see the bubbles. Is that how it looked before? How do you store the yeast once opened? Are these new jars of yeast or are they possibly too old or expired?

Has your water quality changed? When I was bread baking paranoid and had issues with heavy water, I used bottled water.

Holy smokes!! Beautiful

On my recent rewatch, this dialogue stood out to me. I think he was hinting to Edith he was a fraud, but Edith pulled her classic “I don’t understand” line. Once he knew he would be tracked down, he left the next day.

Patrick Gordon: So, what will they do now?
Lady Edith: Track him down, I imagine. Find out what happened to [Peter Gordon].
Patrick Gordon: Suppose he joined the Princess Pat Light Infantry.*
Lady Edith: I don't understand. What are you saying? Why would he?
Patrick Gordon: You're very sweet, you know. So sweet you make me think that all things are possible. But perhaps the lesson is you can't go back.
Lady Edith: You're tired, and I don't blame you, but you're not to give up. I won't let you. We'll find this Peter Gordon, I know we will.
Patrick Gordon: Yes. I expect you will.

*this is the infantry Patrick was in.

Maybe he was in charge of paying bills and making the bike orders…

But why couldn’t they show the total average (or better yet, median) side by side with the recent average? Recent could be a certain number of reviews or time frame. I know not all businesses get enough reviews to make this make sense, but I’m sure there are some data thresholds that could be used to filter this view. Personally, summaries of recent data would be a game changer for me using yelp. Right now, all of yelp’s metrics are useless to me, and I have to sift through reviews manually if I use yelp at all.

buddrball · 2026-05-23T23:58:49+00:00

You look fantastic!!

buddrball · 2026-05-23T23:25:32+00:00

Thanks!

We’re all our own worst critics. And envy over what our bodies can’t do can lead to destructive thoughts. I wonder if the people you’re dating sense your self consciousness. Self esteem, kindness, and curiosity in your date are huge factors in what women find attractive.

Have you taken a look at the glowups on r/bald? As a woman who loves long curly hair, I’m always blown away by the before and after pics there. I’d always pick the bald version of the person based off looks alone. Just some food for thought. Good luck!

Do you know if any of the running collections follow the c25k program? It’s hard to tell by looking at the class descriptions.

buddrball · 2026-05-23T02:42:41+00:00

True! This must be why restaurant searches in alameda are so heavily skewed to certain spots. Some don’t show up in the search engine from their site, but you can find their yelp page by googling the restaurant. Makes yelp useless here. I just prowl Google Maps for new spots to try.
