Hey chat, how unhinged would it be to bring bread dough with me to work so I can probably time the turns? It could stay in the car and I'd duck out twice to turn the dough during the day. Maybe just a 3 on an unhinged scale of 1-10?

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.
Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.
