  1. From now on, I'm going to assume that any issue I have is related to my home desktop, which probably needs to be sunsetted. Once again, works like a charm on the office laptop. Thanks for your patience. I think it works (at least it does on my work laptop). I've just got an old ass computer I typically employ for Surly duty at the house.

    No telling what that smells like compared to mine. One of the things I like about sourdough is not just the funk, but the fact that it's my funk.

    I mean, I'm measuring shit in grams. That's pretty nerdy. If I'm feeling generous to my little yeast ranch, I'll take half of what I need for my recipe and feed it 100% by weight or more to get it going before I toss it in with the other ingredients.

    The first time I tried it, I tried to get cute with fruit skins and the like. Believe me, if you get a vomit starter, you'll know. If it's a tart smell, that's normal. Old socks or horse blanket smell might be okay.

    I'm not that precise. When I feed, I dump half of it out and add about that much back in equal parts by weight of flour and water. Stir and refrigerate. My bread has been delicious. Like anything, there are levels of expertise to this hobby. Much like beer, even if your bread isn't perfect, it's still going to be damned tasty.

    I assume @C-Man had some sort of dehydrated starter if it survived in his desk drawer for a period of years. They're easy enough to make from scratch. I followed this procedure and have kept it going for several years at this point. https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/sourdough-starter-recipe
  7. Sorry if this already has been asked and answered, but on the previous incarnation of Surly, if I selected text from a post, it would give me an option to "quote selection." I don't see that any longer. I've been just quoting and deleting the superfluous part of the quote. Does that feature still exist with some other way to access it? Also, the bolded unread topics is definitely a "my problem." Works fine on the laptop I keep at my office.

    What does it smell like? If it just smells a little ripe, no worries. Just keep it in the fridge (I keep mine in a Mason Jar with plastic wrap and a rubber band) and feed it every week or so. If it smells like vomit or some other putridity, toss it.

    Just read a hilarious comment on this video: "Ah Prince, the only man in history who could put on make up, high heels, and a puffy shirt, and who then could steal your wife."
  10. Tyler Street Team, which helps homeless people in the community in ways which will help them if they cannot get off the street for a period of time, and Christ Church Episcopal, which provides weekly meals (minimum) for homeless people in the community and partners with TST. My wife was on the founding board for TST and heavily involved for years. It began spontaneously during the 2021 Smowmageddon. We also have a couple of families we help out with certain needs they have, particularly around the holidays. We don't do nearly enough, but it's something.
  11. Yeah she is! Go girl! Thicc!
  12. See my un-numbered, unrelated, Gene Hackman, post above.
  13. Just wait until you hear about how aggy, by the transitive property of losing, is playing for the "nAttY" against Indiana.
  14. And if your aunt had balls, you'd drown him in Lady Bird Lake.
  15. Interference? I mean, this crew. Why not?
  16. Give em some salt tablets and Coca Cola, damn it!
  17. Don't really know what that means, but my browser is set up to let webpages pick the fonts. It'll probably work itself out on its own.
