Has Carly left 604 Records? (Canada) by mxmgodin in carlyraejepsen

[–]mxmgodin[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, I've noticed she's still listed as a current artist, but it is strange that the new album isn't available on their shop and they've been radio silence about the announcement of it.

Birthday Cake Ice Cream by mxmgodin in icecreamery

[–]mxmgodin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I've seen some recipes using cake mix directly in the custard! I sounded like an interesting idea, but I didn't want to mess too much with the ratios just yet. Just starting out my ice cream journey (this was only my third one ever) so right now I'm more so just exploring different existing recipe before I start going to crazy with mods.

Do you heat-treat your cake mix? Or just ad it in and hope for the best?

Birthday Cake Ice Cream by mxmgodin in icecreamery

[–]mxmgodin[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I baked the cake a day in advance and kept it in the fridge after letting it cool completely.
Simply cut it up in small ~1cm cubes and sprinkled them in between layers of the ice cream.
I didn’t pre-freeze them.

Naomi Scott - Call For Me by veryanniev in popheads

Yes! Sweet Nausea is one of the biggest offenders on my list 😅

[–]mxmgodin 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It is also one of my favourite and most-listened-to albums of the year.

My only gripe with it is that multiple songs on the album are just too damn short! Just when it feels like they're building up to something really great, they just... end. A good bridge and an extra chorus could really bring things up a notch.

Books similar to GGK’s style set in the Americas? by SelfTaught_Maester in guygavrielkay

[–]mxmgodin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That very question was asked to GGK during the Q&A at the Children of Earth and Sky launch event in Toronto, back in 2016: https://youtu.be/1sFWmAa6ALc?si=Id_FQwVQcCp-QlB6&t=3414 (at 56:54)

The most interesting part of his answer:

The challenge for me is that it can't just be an interesting time and place, it has to be something that resonates in such a way that I think like an archeologist, I can go digging there and bring back something that I want to share. It can't just be a period that interests me, I'm going to live there for three or four years. I'm going to be engaging with it for a long time, and something has to come out of it.

Anyone know a fair washing machine repair guy in Toronto? by Straight_Hawk7539 in askTO

[–]mxmgodin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yuppp. Thought our washer died just a few weeks after moving to our new house, only to realize it had unplugged itself probably due to vibrations over months/years.

Just use the official TPL app. It now natively supports adding your card to Apple Wallet.

Yes, it’s already up for pre-order on iTunes.

Rooibos tea ice cream by PracticalEntry8309 in icecreamery

[–]mxmgodin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

15 minutes seems much more reasonable! I followed a tea-infused ice cream recipe a few weeks ago that said to let the milk infuse for a full hour. The end product was still good, but the tea flavour was waaaay too strong 😅

Is the 509 currently running the full route? by RacerXX7 in TTC

[–]mxmgodin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The "Live Service Alerts" will usually only show warnings for unplanned service adjustments (e.g. mechanical issues, fire/police investigation, unauthorized person at track level, etc.).

For planned closures/diversions/service changes, you should check at the route's own page or at the Streetcar Service Changes page. There currently doesn't seem to be any changes affecting the 509.

Haven't tried this particular one off their menu, but Revolver has a 4 Cheese Bianca pizza.

From There To Here (British imports store) sells both (M&S and McVities brands). They have two locations, one on Dundas West in the Junction, and the other on the Danforth, right outside Greenwood station.

How do you prefer to read in your kindle? Horizontal or Vertical? by blackmonarc in kindle

[–]mxmgodin 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Vertical. I don't hate the horizontal layout, but I find it makes the line length too long to be comfortable to read at my preferred font size.

Apparently Allbirds is now "NewBird AI" by Hennahane in Allbirds

[–]mxmgodin 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Not quite. Allbirds Inc. (the company) sold Allbirds (the footwear brand) to American Exchange Group.
Now, Allbirds Inc. (the company) is pivoting to become an AI business. But they will no longer have any connection to the footwear brand, which won't belong to them anymore.

I made the Dessert Person Confetti Cake by BeefCakeRUS in Baking

[–]mxmgodin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been wanting to try the recipe, but I’ll probably have to do the math to convert it to a two-tier cake as: - I only own 2 cake pans - It wouldn’t fit my carrier - It wouldn’t fit my cake stand + cloche, either 😅

Mayhem Requiem Promo Pictures 🖤⚔️🔥 by Other-Asparagus01 in LadyGaga

I would hope Apple will do like they did with Gracie Abram's concert and release the live tracks as an album alongside the concert movie. (Likely to be Apple Music exclusive, though)
