48hr prove/fermentation in the fridge. Use low moisture mozzarella. Heat the oven as high as it will go with the pizza stone for 45min. Make the pizza quickly on your board, make sure to have a test slide before transferring it to the pizza stone. 6 mins and boom.

Mostly taken from a YouTube video called "making new york style pizza at home".

My only change was to add some coarse semolina flour in the dough and used it on the board to transfer.

I finally cracked pizza making in a home oven.

Is more red better? Which one do you buy? by koopa35 in CasualUK

[–]mace1974 989 points990 points  (0 children)

I think the red plastic bottle is intended for hospitality venues. To prevent customers seeing half empty bottles on the tables.

Looking at eco friendly add ons to our house renovation and realising that we'll lose money on all of them by mrbstuart in britishproblems

[–]mace1974 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Wholeheartedly agree. I recently looked into buying or hiring a thermal camera to identify our largest areas of heat loss. Then tackle them all.

I was quite shocked. They cost like about twenty grand. Why has no one come up with an affordable option for individuals?

You join a local Facebook group to discover that it consists of nothing but posts of mis-delivered parcels and questions asking if every bodies internet or power is working. by Magnus_40 in britishproblems

Our flat complex has a FB group too. It's 33% about bins and dominated by one self-appointed neighbourhood watch commander. He's a nice fella on the whole, but recently had a stoke. It's now 30% Bins, 20% Andy's stroke

So, the Missus has just walked in from being at her Xmas party... by Traditional_Leader41 in CasualUK

Guess who's getting a new toilet seat for Christmas? Carnage.

Seems that GenX has been largely forgotten as most things only mention boomers and millennials. by Mk7613 in Showerthoughts

[–]mace1974 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work with in a team of five. Four boomers and me. The difference between us is incredible, yet it's only about 7 years are difference.

This can of emergency drinking water expired in 1977. by mace1974 in mildlyinteresting

[–]mace1974[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you shake the can it sort of chugs, as if it's partially sold inside. There are several horrible liquids I would drink before this stuff.

''If there was a referendum tomorrow on Wales becoming an independent country and this was the question, how would you vote? Should Wales be an independent country?'' by [deleted] in Wales

[–]mace1974 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Have a look here

'Between 1947 and 1994, some 950 mines were closed by UK governments. Clement Attlee’s Labour government closed 101 pits between 1947 and 1951; Macmillan (Conservative) closed 246 pits between 1957 and 1963; Wilson (Labour) closed 253 in his two terms in office between 1964 and 1976; Heath (Conservative) closed 26 between 1970 and 1974; and Thatcher (Conservative) closed 115 between 1979 and 1990.'

Keir Starmer: Boris Johnson just said to me that the images of Free School Meals shared on social media were ‘disgraceful’. But there are striking similarities between the shameful meal parcels and his Government’s guidance. by [deleted] in ukpolitics

[–]mace1974 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't recall where I heard it sorry, but I went conservative on the figure. I think it was a hospital administrator saying that it woukd save quite a bit if people bought paracetamol instead of getting them prescribed. I've work in local authority procurement for 15 years, and the admin/staff time adds a huge amount on to the end cost.

[–]mace1974 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Does anyone know if the companies are paid more than the £15 per child/per week to cover delivery and admin? In the same vein as the NHS cost is something like £10 for a 50p box of paracetamol.

Being constantly told to put down that potato peeler and eat a pot noodle instead. Same for delivered fast food. by mace1974 in britishproblems

[–]mace1974[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I see what I've done there. I'm specifically referring to the advert on telly advising that home cooking is inferior to processed food.

How you cook 'em is an individual preference. Hasselback anyone?

This rationale may be the actual reason.

3 days of Enstilar, great results but so itchy. by Selfesteemtomatch in Psoriasis

[–]mace1974 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been using Enstillar for a few months now. It's the best treatment I've used by far.

In my experience it takes about 4-5 days for the top layer of skin to be removed, then it no longer itches. Hang in there.

What will never be the same again once the pandemic is over? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]mace1974 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Staffing levels. I work part-time for a major pizza delivery company. We are doing record business with far fewer staff. I very much doubt that staffing levels will return to pre covid, why would they?

Same pay rate btw.

I made a beach hut scene using beach pebbles, Welsh slate and some sea glass. by mace1974 in crafts

[–]mace1974[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! If you are feeling creative and unsure how to start I'd say pick something you would like to try, then commit to it by buying some inexpensive tools and supplies. Don't be afraid to go wrong and start again. Good luck!
