  1. Sorry that already happened a long time ago and what they did was have small parades and civic festivities in cities like austin and san antonio.
  2. I binge-watched a bunch of videos and identified where I probably fucked up in precious neapolitan dough attempts: imprecise temperature and kneading techniques Temp matter throughout the entire process front to back. its not just water temp during fermentation. people monitor dough temp at all phases for proper handling and rise. Exact kneading techniques determines proper gluten development. Its possible to underknead but also overknead.
  3. I never had basketball coaching in my life. I learned by mimicry, so my shot always *looked* superficially convincing, but wouldnt go in for shit. A while ago, I decided to watch a bunch of youtube instructions and tried them out. Didnt work. Recently, I decided to binge-watch **all** the videos. With the imperfect information from each video synthesized, it just fucking clicked. Went from shooting 25% at the line to 70% pretty much overnight. Its insanely satisfying to spin a shot off my hand now and have it swish through the hoop. AND I have a sporting skill I can teach my kid down the road. 💆‍♂️
  4. looks juicy and tender. 2/2 would recommend.
  5. dough making is still a black art to me. i ordered some proofing boxes and going to make a few more earnest attempts at doing it right. theres tons of pizza 'influencers' online now and theyre making incredible stuff. particularly from this guy i got the idea to use nduja -- which apparently is an italian sausage but sounds east african -- so thats next on the list
  6. for local eating theres woracziczky. small place, hand written menu, cash only. if you have transport, stockerwirt outside of town by the woods is classic.
  7. The habsburgs have an crypt below the capuchin church thats also dope. unrelated but the imperial treasury displays the holy roman imperial crown which is super cool, and 1 of 3 claimed spears of destiny, a lore i first read about as a kid playing the wolfenstein game
  8. You're just an hour away from Dunes du Pilat, which is a steep dune at the beach, with a nearby national park and nature preserve. Bordeaux is known for a tasty pastry called Caneles, baked in beautiful small fluted copper molds which make great souvenirs and gifts. You can buy them from the baillardran shops.
  9. the young woman at the end of that video clip is the recently-promoted direct subordinate of the head of HR. lulz.
  10. well lah dee dah, mister i-have-a-large-loving-family-and-we-eat-dinner-together.
  11. I get tremendous psychological satisfaction when I swat annoying house flies and feed them to the pet turtle when visiting my in-laws' country house.
  12. I found the NBA2K “Arcade Edition”, through my iCloud sub, and its an actual playable game. the NBA2K “Mobile” is straight turboaids.
  13. Doesnt actually seem like there are many smartphone games you can just straight up purchase to play? I grabbed NBA2K5 on the iOS store and the “game” is 80% loot-boxes and tokens and 50 layers of premium-booster-power-pack-lottery-diamond-spins and all this arcane micro-games thats unrelated to the actual basketball playing
  14. Drove to small airport without covered parking and hailstorm battered my car while I was away
  15. Did a reverse sear with a butter baste on a super thick aged ribeye and felt the final flavor was just *too* fatty and unctuous. Much prefer a cleaner meatier flavor that stands on its own. IMO.
  16. The black CS are 4cm. The other steel (probably is also CS?) is 6mm. These are adequately thick against warping while reasonably light at below 20lbs. I feel the smoother CS surfaces vs CI’s higher surface area makes it a bit more resistant against rusting, extrapolating from care of cooking pans. My use case is cooking lots of bacons (better fit than round pans) which generates lots of grease, or stir frying stuff like for cheesesteak. I figure the taller lip contains grease spills when used indoor and retains food from falling into the grill if I’m pushing it around outdoors.
  17. I wanted a griddle to use both indoor on the induction range and outdoor in the rectangular gas grill. Started looking at this Made-In carbon steel Of course, they didn't make it themselves, they advertised it as a "Swedish" manufacturer. Turns out its from Kockums (whose product are also resold by other companies) But I see 2 problems, 1-sides are too low so food and fat can fall out, 2-handles stick out too much and occupy wasted space vs cooking surface Ultimately found Swedish manufacturer Gourmetstal making these in steel. Similar heft and thermal mass to carbon steel and cast iron, though slower thermal conductivity but shouldnt be a problem for the use-case. These are shaped better to fit on my grill sideways so I can still use the grill surface. Discounted Cast Iron because they require more maintenance against rusting. Most of them also cast the handles in-plane and have basically no lip which is dumb for usability
  18. If you want the Gucci stuff buy some Binchotan charcoal from the internet. It's made of Japanese oak and burns cleaner, longer, and hotter. They use it in places like Izakayas. Remember, it's only Binchotan if it comes from the Wakayame region of Japan. Otherwise it's just sparkling Kingsford.
  19. 1. Very funny how East = Ghetto, West = Posh, is the pattern for literally every city on Earth I can think of. East Oslo is never visibly ghetto though. There's obv more Muslims but it's not visually dilapidated. 2. Last quarter 97% of all cars sold were electric. It's 95% on annual basis now. There's not just Chinese (BYD, NIO, Xpeng, MG), but there's also unheard of Koreans like Ssangyong and Hongqi [yes thats right]. This is RR'ish Hongqi HS9 3. There's a stereotype that all Nordic women are blue/blonde but this is another archetypical appearance for many of them. (the singer Sigrid) Knew a girl at UT who used to live in those apartments in the background. Although this site is unmarked to deter it from being a sort of place of interest, she said tons of people still come regardless, both the 'worshippers' and curious tourists.
  20. got you covered
  21. His parents: “the prince who was promised!”
