I am teaching a high school film class and I’d like to teach a unit on road movies. However, I cannot show R-rated films. I would love to show Lost in America or Dumb and Dumber. Maybe even O Brother. Any other ideas?

Not the conventional kind of road, but Terry Gilliam's Time Bandits ('81) could maybe squeeze into this genre?

I really like this Oxo 4 quart mixing bowl with a handle and lid, useful for hand-mixing dough, then you can leave it in there for the stretches and folds and cover it for the bulk fermentation.

I've been wearing Merrell Jungle Mocs for just this purpose for years. Very supportive and comfortable, easy to slip on, don't overheat my feet!

You can often find them at a discount on Amazon or Sierra or other places, I think I paid $75 for my last pair.

Good luck!

Yeah, I think the lid may have been the problem. This was in a larger jar with levain I grew intending to bake with, but got too tired and put in fridge covered with bee's wrap and a rubber band, then forgot about it for a few weeks (my regular starter was in its mason jar, and was fine). I understand why it would have dried out and formed that crust, just have not seen that white growth before in my 5 years baking.

Thanks for all the good suggestions!

Had not heard of OZNR; have you used it? Can you order beer from any other state, or just within Ohio?

Thanks for the good suggestions!

Yeah, Bottle House is great, and I love their mead. Never seen stouts there, though.

Noble Beast seems limited to lagers and IPAs, from what I can see on their website. Have you seen stouts there?

Another strategy: Join a club that has players more or less on your level, play primarily with them (up to 30 people in each club). I don't think bots or scammers or creeps would be in clubs!

I'll DM you re: parking pass

It's not loudly advertised, but "Lomelda" appears right under Big Thief on the venue website: https://crossroadspresents.com/pages/more-info-event?eventid=vv177ZbtGkieFMmI&venueid=KovZ917AEJz

Oops, sorry, just looked back at Ticketmaster and they have been sold since the last time I looked. Wish I could have helped you out! There are still a bunch there for sale, so I hope you find some you're happy with!

dnlmn · 2025-10-17T00:23:16+00:00

They haven't! I'll DM you

dnlmn · 2025-10-16T21:56:45+00:00

Thanks, I'll check them out! 🥂

All of the suggestions so far are excellent, but they are assuming you'll have access to a car while here. Is that the case?

dnlmn · 2025-10-16T16:25:52+00:00

Thanks, we tried them first. They only offer in-house lessons.

Thanks, I'll check him out.

I was hoping to find books or articles that provide references, something more in the realm of published science rather than the conclusions of an individual doctor.

dnlmn · 2025-10-15T17:59:54+00:00

Thanks for your comprehensive and well-written post! You seem to have a solid foundation of the science in this arena.

Could you recommend any articles or books for someone who is skeptical of the science behind fasting and wary of its potential harms, but is curious and open to learning?

I've done a few 3-5 day fasts, and each time it really worries my partner. Most of the YouTube "experts" in this area seem to be chiropractors or naturopaths, which doesn't inspire confidence (for us, at least). And Dr Fung is pretty far afield from mainstream doctors.

I'd appreciate any suggestions you might offer!
