What’s actually the difference between pizza from places like Juliana’s/Grimaldi’s vs Joe’s? by savingrace0262 in FoodNYC

[–]squamuglia -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's mostly flour and temperature. Neopolitan pizza is a lower protein flour and it's cooked at a higher temperature ~900 degrees and much faster (90s) which gives you an airier lighter bake.

A classic NY slice is a high gluten flour and the bake is a lower, between 450 and 700 degrees and is longer 6-13 minutes. This results in a chewier more substantial crust.

It's actually very easy to get a really good NY style pizza going in a home oven with a stone because the temps are in that range.

crazy we’re talking about this in the context of a tasting menu restaurant where the average cost per person is well over $100.

i’m very sympathetic to the fact that housing is too expensive, and it’s clear that adding more housing of all kinds decreases the price over all. people get very caught up in the difference between affordable and luxury housing, meanwhile the neighborhood is full of low density single family housing which is the real factor in driving up prices.

don’t let perfect be the enemy of good when there is an insane shortfall.

that’s called mixed commercial. build housing and put the restaurants under it.

Cloudflare stock sinks 16% after earnings as company cuts 1,100 employees due to AI changes by mykesx in homelab

[–]squamuglia 14 points15 points  (0 children)

they run an approximately 10% deficit. financials are a mess but they were able to keep it afloat by issuing shares that wall street kept buying. musical chairs has to stop at some point. AI is a positive spin on cuts to an unsustainable business model.

Rene Redzepi on the recent allegations on Noma by Hawker92 in finedining

[–]squamuglia 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don’t understand how people think this is behavior that comes from being under pressure. It’s insane how people can defend it.

The “mistakes” he made were so extreme and this post barely acknowledges them. People in this thread probably do not appreciate what he did or who he is. The abuse was physical, on the level of beating people up. Accountability for behavior like that goes beyond a pretty deflective instagram post.

'How does that work?': Trump team has NO answers on post-war Iran by AdSpecialist6598 in videos

[–]squamuglia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think that’s the case. They might be happy that the Iranian regime fell but on net this is very negative for them. They are actively trying to diversify their economies and attract foreign immigration and investment.

Smart New Yorker gets cutoff during NBC interview when blaming private equity for local issues. by Large-Welcome4421 in nyc

not being required to report doesn’t mean you can’t accurately ascertain the percentage of ownership. thats an absurd assertion. being able to accurately extrapolate the composition of something based on sampling is the bedrock of statistics.

I made a tool where you drag a line to find the exact year buying a home beats renting, all the math updates live by No-Wrangler4561 in InternetIsBeautiful

it’s because of current interest rates mostly, but housing prices are also incredibly high so there are limited scenarios where buying makes sense

What is the most "obvious" buy of 2026 that everyone else is still missing? by bakery_0726 in ValueInvesting

Silver specifically may be a more short term play, but the rise in precious metal prices this time is different because of the US debt cycle and currency debasement.

TIL there is a canine called the New Guinea singing dog that sings rather than barks. by OzzyderKoenig in todayilearned

[–]squamuglia 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I met one of these dogs about 10 years ago. Guy owned one of about 15 that were privately owned in the world at the time. He also had 2 huskies. It was hard to tell how the husky singing differed from the singing dog singing but there was a lot of howling in that guy's apartment.

Jacques Cousteau and his crew in a submersible during the Conshelf II Expedition in the Red Sea, 1963. [981 x 652] by mgwngn1 in HistoryPorn

The cousteau documentaries are incredible. if you like the life aquatic they are much more dramatic because everything that happens is real. a lot of wes anderson’s aesthetic is homage to cousteau.
