I just realized that my entire online presence can be summed up as screaming PLEASE FFS BE KIND into the void.
Today in successful mad science, bread machine addition:
I took my usual bread recipe (enriched with a slightly sour flavor from vinegar, but not actually sour dough) and added 2tbsp paprika (regular, not spicy or smoked) and 1tbsp onion powder.
This was a GOOD life choice. Very tasty!

Vid I’m watching mentioned “the millennial fantasy of being able to buy a house.”
And it made me wonder….. I know the under 40s are mostly screwed financially and certainly in terms of owning property. But now I’m wondering is that mostly US only and our bizarro laws or is that world wide?

Today cooking phrase of the day. I just referred to Turkey as “carnivore tofu” and I broke a friend with it.
(Translation: isn’t much worth eating on its own but makes a good protein source to hide inside other flavors.)

Cooking PSA:
Replacing raisins in cinnamon raisin bread with quartered dried apricots looks and smells GREAT.
Probably smells great too, but hasn’t cooled enough for me to try yet.
If you want to make it more holiday ish also throw in a handful of craisins. Pretty! And tasty.

I got reminded about this thread of delight recently. If you have a tradition of reading the best of the Internet out loud to your loved ones, allow me to recommend adding this to your repertoire. 😆
I have been doing entirely too much earnest posting about deep things recently, I need to do a proper thread about hippo testicles or something just to keep myself sane.
Oh by the way hippos have migratory testicles.

Jeeeeez. I picked up duolingo for the first time in a while. When did the free version get So annoying??
I mean, a few features are improved, but the thing where it basically forces you to go as fast as possible? Not conducive to learning.
Can anyone rec a (free) alternate? Preferably gamified?

If you have only one blue senator, you can use resistbot to contact them too. If you’ve already texted resistbot once, you can just text them ”write” to them and they’ll prompt you for the rest. And you’ll have the option to choose a single recipient. Feel free to copy and paste my words.
I got pissed. I did a resistbot. (Obviously this petition really only applies if your senators are blue.)

I just watched a video of a man make an apple pie out of apples. Only apples. No flour. No butter. No sugar. Only apples.
He made a flour and then crust out of dehydrated apples which he then blended to a powder. Used apple juice for moisture.

One of the smaller but more persistent annoyances about having to move to the sky from the bad place is how many people’s usernames changed. I have trouble with IRL names let alone these and then even though we’re still mutuals, probably, I CAN NEVER FIND YOU AGAIN BECAUSE I DONT KNOW WHO YOU ARE. 🤬

Context: 3 people I know, including myself, all had a harder time from it than in previous years. Interestingly, all 3 of us are dealing with long covid from the first wave. SO. >>

Okay so I keep seeing people talk about how many people use the words aunt and uncle more loosely and
1) holy cow I am appalled to realize THIS is why
2) anyone who says they do not know that people use aunt & uncle about people who don’t strictly meet that definition seem kinda disingenuous

Feels like the absolute least they can do, but it’s still a really good step up
Yesterday, California adopted a law to raise the pay received by incarcerated firefighters when they’re fighting a fire from $1 to $7.25 per hour—meeting the federal minimum wage. Four other new laws also give new rights to incarcerated firefighters.
California's incarcerated firefighters to see a ‘historic’ pay increase in laws Newsom signed
Hundreds of California state prisoners worked to put out this year's deadly Los Angeles wildfires, inspiring new laws that will improve their pay and open other opportunities.
