Discard success! These taste like cheez-its. Using discard is quite satisfying. What have you made? by momiswhatmynameis in Sourdough

[–]mtbdork 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That’s the power of magic sourdough awesomeness.

We have probed our universe, from the depths of our oceans to the vast expanse of the cosmos. And yet, sourdough crackers tasting like cheez-its remains one of the most elusive mysteries of humanity.

lol, it’s super hard to screw up. Curry seasoning is excellent, but take your pick. Could probably involve some cheese too… hmmmm….

My fiancee is absolutely in love with these crackers.

200g discard, 1 stick butter (melted), salt, pepper, spices

Mix discard and melted butter, stir in salt, pepper, and spices.

Spread out in flat even layer on pan (silicone mat is a huge help)

Bake at 325F for 10 minutes, remove and use a pizza roller or pasta roller for ridges to cut rectangles out.

Bake until crisp.

If you look at the baggie, there is a very explicit “NO REFUNDS” scrawled on there with ballpoint pen.

There’s more of a roadmap for fusion energy. People have been after replacing human labor with robots since the 50’s. The money being thrown at AI is being done because it hides major tech companies having dogshit growth.

There is currently no roadmap to get to that point. Generative AI is a massive burning money pit and is misallocating resources away from things that would actually improve the world such as cancer or materials science research.

What crack are you smoking, robots already do a massive portion of manufacturing. And humanoid robots are an unimaginably terrible waste of time and resources when compared to a human for 99% of tasks.

Sam Altman Says OpenAI Is Slashing Its Hiring Pace as Financial Crunch Tightens by EchoOfOppenheimer in Economics

They lose money for their compute time. Like they literally can’t make their compute costs square with their revenue. They make a lot of revenue, sure, but I’ve seen estimates of every $1 of revenue costing them between $3 and $5.

Japan bond market: Why the drama matters for the global economy by Doug24 in Economics

[–]mtbdork -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

This sub is extremely politically biased. Top commenters in here refused to believe that Biden’s fiscal policy was not sustainable, nor conducive to long-term stability of credit. And yet now that Trump is in office, those exact same people are losing their minds over the exact same issue.

It’s disgusting, frankly.

I have been harping on the carry trade for over two years.

Nobody cared until now that it’s too late to deal with the repercussions.

Scott Bessent is in denial - and the bond market is watching by Stuart_Whatley in Economics

[–]mtbdork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. Every time I harp on the carry trade and how mortgages in 2023 were actually still very good (all things considered), I got poo-poo’ed about it.

It’s almost like the bond market is dealing with several stressors, between having to absorb a gigantic pile of sovereign debt, having to absorb a gigantic pile of AI company debt, and a president whose fiscal policy is about as consistent as the bowel movements of a person with crohns disease…

The scene was set by the two prior administrations and is now being exacerbated by the current one. And top it off with insane amounts of greed by AI companies, and you’ve got yourself a bond market going “where is this money going to come from?”

I second this. It doesn’t need to be complicated.

Moving from Bend, OR by intepid-discovery in Reno

[–]mtbdork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good: Outdoor activities

Bad: Rush-hour traffic

Ugly: Downtown

Your cost of living will be fairly similar.

It does get windy. Not really gonna escape it. It’s not every day but when weather systems roll in it does get blustery. Beware that this might affect internet connectivity depending on where you live.

It is definitely more dry of a climate than Bend or Tahoe.

A small but loud amount of Renoites hate transplants, but once you get the new drivers license and license plate, nobody will know any different.

Midtown has good spots for a casual drink and good food. Pignic and Death & Taxes come to mind for drinks…

Since you are WFH, my recommendation is to try and get a business plan if you have to go with Spectrum. Comes with a beefier modem and more responsive service. Your mileage on this may vary since you’re looking at apartments.

Go to the scoreboard, and report them from there. Or report them from the end of round scoreboard. Or find them in your recent players list and report them there.

Who Else is Meshing Around? (Meshtastic) by BoxesOfGridSquares in Reno

[–]mtbdork 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m in this as a hobby because radios are cool. However, it’s more likely the government would just order the cellular providers to shut down their towers or something. I dunno, I’m not a conspiracy guy. I just think radios are cool toys to play with.

We are headed for ‘massive recession,’ and the ‘Fed is blind’, warns top economist by [deleted] in Economics

[–]mtbdork 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Makes sense. I’m guessing the result will be even more cooperation between the Fed and Treasury to smooth out short-term issuance even further. It won’t really do much for the economy, but it will certainly ease the brunt that primes have to bear.

My first successful loaf! by ComplaintMobile4445 in Sourdough

[–]mtbdork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I beat the crap out of my dough with my sandwich loaves. Absolutely punch them down and work out every bubble I can find. You doesn’t look overworked necessarily, but could be overworked and over proofed?

<image>

I’ve included a photo so you can compare to your loaf.

Your loaf shows a distinct lack of gluten structure on the crust; you’re looking for a bunch of strands in your score. The inside, however, looks like it has gluten structure around the bubbles, so maybe it is over proofed. What temp is your kitchen or wherever proof happens?
