  1. As a father I don’t need to watch the video, the words break my heart enough. No punishment is strong enough for this deadbeat.
  2. Big whoop they are probably going to get Spurs to commit 30 fouls, have 3 reds and probably injure a few more players for good measure.
  3. I might give your recipe a shot. The milk is weird to me. Here's mine, which is my mom's and grandma's recipe. You guys do "small batch" I usually go 3 dozen at a time: 6 Cups flour (I use King Arthur all purpose, but I've heard good things about using bread flour) 1 Tablespoon salt (I use table salt NOT sea salt or kosher salt) 2 Teaspoons baking powder 5-6 Tablespoons Crisco shortening (I've been going near 6 Tbsp with this lately) 2+ Cups hot water (I microwave mine 3 min 30 seconds while mixing ingredients) I use a kitchenaid stand mixer for all of this. Mix the flour, salt and baking powder use the paddle to evenly distribute the ingredients. I then add the shortening and let that mix in a minute or two. Then I start adding the hot water - half of what's left each add: 1 cup (this should make the dough shaggy), then 1/2 cup, then 1/4 cup until is starts to come together as a whole dough. Once this starts, I take out the paddle and put on the dough hook and let the dough fully come together about 5 or so minutes. I actually like my dough to be a touch "wet" or sticky. If it's too dry it ends up being a little hard to roll out. Once I've finished with the dough hook, I put the dough in a gallon ziplock and put it back in mixing bowl I don't let it sit on my counters* * - so I live in Boston - my counters are too damn cold, even in the summer, and the cold is bad for the dough/gulten. My first few batches here was an absolute nightmare to deal with until I figured out the cold counter issue. They get at least a 30 minute rest at this point (If it's longer I will put the bag on a wooden cutting board with dish towels insulating both sides). When I take the dough out it should be sweaty. I throw it on a wooden cutting board (that is only used for making tortillas - again keep it off the counter). I kneed all the moisture back in. Then I start tearing out dough balls and making these (If I want to be crazy precise they should weigh ~40 grams). Note on doughballs- I've always found this to be the key to making round tortillas - you need round and well formed dough balls and they need to be smooth. You get this by pushing the dough into itself while rotating it. I do this by making an OK sigh with my right hand, I put a dough ball in the circle formed by your thumb and pointer finger. I usually push the dough in from the palm side with my left pointer finger and rotate the dough ball as I do this. Once they are smooth I put them along the edge of my cutting board. I get to rolling immediately - UNLESS I put them back in the ziplock and then I can take up to 12 or so hours to get back to them (same insulation as above). I also roll on the cutting board and I don't use flour at all to keep them from sticking, this is likley because the cutting board is seasoned well enough I don't need to, but if my dough is right - it won't stick. Since I use the double griddle my process is usually: roll out tortilla A. Put it on griddle roll out tortilla B. Flip tortilla A, put tortilla B on griddle. roll out tortilla C. Flip tortilla A, Flip tortilla B. remove tortilla A. put tortilla C on where A was. The last step is repeated a lot. Once this is going, I am generally getting a tortilla off the griddle every 45-50 seconds.
  4. Watching that clip of her roll tortillas - I am embarrassed for her.
  5. i also normally use shortening to make tortillas, but yesterday tried my first lard batch ever. Too damn easy - they were damn near perfect.
  6. I haven’t read the whole thread yet, so sorry if these are already suggested or commented about. I have no problem rolling out circular tortillas. But a I’ve also been doing this a decade plus. I’m not an abuelita yet, but I can get mine done in about 5 rolls One hint from my sister’s husband - small turns when you’re rolling out. Think roll, turn your tortilla 90 degrees. Roll again. Rotate back about 15 degrees, rolle, 15 degrees roll, wash, rince, repeat. Im also a proponent of a good teflon coated double burner griddle. I use the All-clad at home but the cuisinart one works too. Off to read a lot of this.
  7. I would argue any manager willing to get fired to keep members of a team does have their employee’s back.
  8. Dortmund’s win secured the 5th slot for Germany in next year’s Champions League. That means Italy and Germany: 5 slots England: 4
  9. I’ve been reading a lot about this Supercharger team gutting;, all I can really say is that it makes zero sense at all. Of all the moves, this has to be the dumbest one. Their charging network was their strength. It set them apart from any and everyone. You can’t drive anywhere without seeing superchargers. It’s almost frustrating (primarily not seeing non-Tesla chargers). But it was a thing he understood - if you make EVs you needed a way to charge them at places other than your house. They have the big lead, but if they aren’t working at it, that can shrink or be lost. Ketamine is a hell of a drug.
  10. Going back a few days one thing lost about the earning call that Tesla did was this: https://www.pymnts.com/earnings/2024/tesla-calls-itself-an-ai-robotics-company-as-profits-plunge-55/ So a man that gets pissed about people identifying as whatever gender they choose to identify as, just said that his car company identifies as an AI Robotics company? Am I reading that right? BTW - on Pivot a few days after this earning call, both Swisher and Galloway called out Elon and Tesla. Especially Galloway who really noted a few things: Elon Musk really does the Jazz hands when his earnings suck. In this case he ran off the Affordiable car thing, the Robotics thing, the AI thing and even noted the autonomous taxi idea (which they currently see as DOA). There was zero reason for Tesla to increase stock price based on that call because their earnings were awful Despite whatever Musk says, Tesla is a car company and they should trade around where a car company should traded. He ran some numbers on Enterprise Multiple (EV/EBITDA) and how out of whack Tesla is: Tech companies Google - 20 Meta - 21 Microsoft - 26 Scott called these strong and well performing/good companies Automobile companies GM - 7 BYD - 6 Yet for some out of whack/people are having a fever dream about it - Tesla trades at 35 Fun listen - you should check it out: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/karas-ketamine-trip-meta-and-tesla-earnings-and-the/id1073226719?i=1000653671341
  11. And some of these were nothing more than pure. rumor that never happened - throw the drugged candies in with that too. I think this comment really nails it. The two big takeaways here is the need to be the organization to break some angle of news and how much we have just devolved into a sound bite era when it comes to quotes/comments. You look at this, of course people think "Oh hey! I can do that!!" <Narrator's voice> No, in fact they really can't</Narrator's voice>. They think they can curate their own sound bite and videos - but they don't get all of the need for ethics or even how to be fair/balanced on these things. Heck, they don't even understand that news is really supposed to be providing facts. We've been living in an era for a few decades now where everything has to be attention getting or emotional swaying etc because of how the news cycle has changed. Tack on top of that how much engagement is the key word at places like Facebook and Twitter and what people "think" is news is really nothing of the sort. The result of all this? People are just putting up so much Bullshit for people to lap up. And they do.
  12. Damn this is crappy all around. It sucks for the US because of the major loss of such an important player. But also for Dest if it hurts his chance to improve his standing among teams.
  13. And now Werner is out the rest of the year. Hamstring injury that KO’d him from the Arsenal game. Wonderful.
  14. I gotta say it’s shit like this that almost, ALMOST gets me to re-register for Twitter. The pure stupidity and then the double, triple and quadrupling down just blow my mind.
  15. It sounds an awful lot like he’s cutting his top earners and that he thinks he can replicate their work with lower earning people in similar roles. I wish him well on that one.
  16. The motion passed today meaning it will be voted on at the annual general meeting in June. I don't know what the vote was. It needed 14 votes to pass today. What I heard was: No: Man City, ManU, Villa Abstain: Chelsea But there could have been 1 or 2 other clubs to vote against this.
  17. A. That top photo looks photoshopped, you can see the pixels B. that picture really makes the incEl Camino look dumb. Really tall and silly like a My Little Pony character jumping.
  18. Wasn't that protest/incident off campus? And in fact not even on the Drag, but along Guadalupe south of campus?
  19. So I received this letter from a visiting administrator Friday: I took a few days to compose a reply, but this was my reply. I hope that my comments are shared with The University such that they know exactly what their actions have caused.
  20. Well I am just going to need to drink my sorrows away at my new home bar. Placed this in the mountain house just after the game.
