"Let us pray, let us wish... to partake in communion. Let us partake in communion... and feast upon the old blood. Our thirst for blood satiates us, soothes our fears."

I like that I can currently adjust the volume or silence a call on my phone in my pocket by feeling the physical buttons. I miss being able to deliberately unlock my phone with touch id as I’m picking it up without having to look at it square on.

Hell, I even miss the chin and bezel. I liked having neutral space to grab the phone without it registering a tap or swipe.

Maybe I’m getting old, but smartphone design largely peaked several years ago, and they insist on making changes to parts of the phone that are perfectly fine.

In its current state? Not unless it gets heavily marked down (KSP2 does have better tutorials and a more accessible progression system).

With the studio being shut down, it’s likely that what we have now is all we’re getting.

I see two possible reasons for your situation. One is that the company is turning to contractors to fill in gaps in their knowledge/experience, which is why everyone else has no clue how to tackle these tasks and why they get assigned the easy ones.

The other possibility is that the senior devs are gaming the metrics, letting the employees knock out easy tasks while the contractor is stuck with untangling the knots of the more intractable tasks.

Filet mignon in cast iron and ribeye in carbon steel. Dry brined for one day, cooked in avocado oil, basted in ghee and garlic, and finished with a little cracked pepper.

Tony Stark titan of industry

Ooh, that’s going to get under Elon’s skin. I wonder if he’ll challenge Jeff to a cage match for the Tony Stark-wannabe title…

Oh they are fully aware. More criminals means more prisoners, which means more money for the prison industrial complex and super cheap (basically slave) labor.

Pan pizza night (discuss.tchncs.de)

Homemade pizza dough and sauce in my Lodge double Dutch oven lid and Darto carbon steel pan. The dough was cold fermented in the fridge then proofed in buttered pans. I cooked the dough on the stove top briefly to help it firm up before adding sauce and toppings.

For a crispier bottom, an alternative is to preheat the pans then add oil and (carefully) spread the proofed dough into the pan before adding toppings and cooking.

Easy cleanup

First time making saganaki. Halloumi cheese pan-fried in ghee, finished with a squeeze of lemon while in the pan.

Pesto loaf (discuss.tchncs.de)
submitted 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) by ourob@discuss.tchncs.de to c/castiron@lemmy.world

Experimenting with making a pesto loaf, and it came out pretty good using the Lodge loaf pan. The dough is actually made from a pizza dough recipe that I like to make pan pizza with and had extra of. For one loaf (or pizza):

  • 200g bread flour
  • 25g whole wheat flour
  • 158g warm water
  • 4g salt
  • 2g instant yeast
  • 9g olive oil

Mix until all the dry bits are absorbed into a sticky dough ball, and let rest for a few minutes. Then stretch it out and fold it in half once from each side (top to bottom, right to left, bottom to top, left to right) and tuck it into a ball. It should be stronger, smoother, and feel less sticky afterwards. If it still feels like a weak shaggy mess, let it rest for another 10-20 minutes then repeat the folds. Then put the dough ball in a covered container that’s twice as big as the ball and put it in the fridge overnight (it’s good for probably up to 5 days to a week, and it will actually develop more flavor that way).

Pull the dough out about 1.5 hours before you want to bake. Roll the dough out with a rolling pin to a rectangle that’s as wide as the loaf pan is long, and make the dough as long as you can roll it out without too much trouble. Spread the pesto over the flattened dough, leaving a bit of a margin along the edges, with a bigger margin at the bottom. Roll the dough from the top down into a cylinder that will fit nicely in the pan and pinch all the seams along the loaf and at the ends to seal it up.

Grease the pan with softened butter, place the loaf in the pan, and cover with plastic wrap (or whatever). Let it rise until it’s at least 1.5 times larger (probably 1-1.5 hours). When it’s close to the right size, preheat the oven to 350°F. When the loaf is risen, uncover and brush the top with melted butter. Bake for 40-45 minutes until the inside is 190-200°F. Take the loaf out of the pan and cool on a wire rack for at least 45 minutes, then slice and enjoy.

If you’re good at building hype and have some connections, you can attract all sorts of investors hoping to get in on the ground floor of the next big thing.

Dan Olsen’s NFT video from a year ago summed it up well, I think (link). People with money to invest today want to repeat the insane growth in wealth brought about by computers, the internet, social media, etc. So they will basically gamble on any new ideas that have an air of plausibility to kick off the next boom.

She’s Ms. Extra because she’s resisting bullying by an incompetent employer?

It’s not wholly unreasonable for a business to have some kind of appearance standard for front-of-house employees. But it is unreasonable to hire people for those positions literally sight unseen, and it’s a stupidly written policy if pink hair violates it while ridiculous wigs do not.

Besides, it’s 2023. Brightly colored hair is hardly an outrageous and rare sight to see. No one is going to stop frequenting a business because they were greeted by someone with pink hair.

The comment editor doesn’t seem to account for the formatting bar, because the bar obscures text being typed at the bottom when it is longer than the size of the editor. This is on iOS and v1.06.

This doesn’t appear to be a problem in the post editor, as I don’t see the same behavior while making this post.

I’m sorry, are you citing a graphic from Fox fucking News to support your point?

Making ghee (discuss.tchncs.de)
submitted 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) by ourob@discuss.tchncs.de to c/castiron@lemmy.world

Ghee has been the MVP in my kitchen. It’s a type of clarified butter, where the water is boiled off and the milk solids are toasted before being strained out. This gives ghee a slightly nutty flavor and greatly raises the smoke point, making it suitable for high heat cooking. It’s easy - if a little tedious - to make at home, and it’s great for cooking (and seasoning, IMO) with cast iron.
