It really just reads call center scam honestly, except the payout is that your representatives do their job? Wonder what they do if some confused grandma wires their entire pension to them because she thinks she really is 'the only one that can save DEMOCRACY and DONAMLD TRUMP was LAUGHING!'

also the way the capitalize 'Dark Money' makes it sound like some evil wizard is exerting malign forces from his crooked tower somewhere

"The IDF told me their tanks keep getting blown up in Gaza, so I asked how many tanks they have, and they told me they just go to the depot and get a new tank and send it into Gaza with no infantry cover, so I said it sounds like you're just feeding Merkavas to the Resistance and the 12 year old brigadier general started crying."

Elon in exile on Mars: "The America Party is now nothing but a removed Billionaires Party! It claims to represent the jetski dealerships and the franchisees, tech moguls and oligarchs, but really, it serves the filthy proletariat. Every week I see further evidence of wealth trickling down, enriching the parasitic ruling classes - baristas, journalists and the like - subsidizing useless eaters, in other words! They will never achieve global capitalism and must be opposed by any means necessary!"

I have not been arguing that. America is a fucking mess right now, and I'm afraid that it may be the end for it.

Good!

[...], I naively optimistic that we will eventually take out nation back, and force it to follow the positive philosophy that is supposed to be our foundation.

what's needed is to take your nation out back and put it down like the rabid dog it is

I see, the Mentally Ill Foreigners are conspiring to steal the constitution and make America into a failed state like Libya and all we have to do is to purge the weak and imbecilic race-traito- I mean anti-democratic populists and then the Republic will be restored to its former glory! Huzzah! i-love-not-thinking

I don't think calling some actions on Oct 7 a war crime is reactionary, early in the war Hamas offered to prosecute and/or deliver to the Hague any of their fighters found breaking the Geneva Conventions if Israel agreed to the same. (Israel did not agree to do the same). But the whole "right to exist" thing is also a slimy question with no answer that makes you look normal, either you are a liberal dog and believe that nation-states have more rights than people or you're a third worldist-maoist-anarchist that thinks the very concept of a border is fascism (in the eyes of the media/voters), it's like 'abolish the police (and divest their functions to other more suited organisations)' getting twisted by reactionaries to mean 'abolish all policing, everything is legal, murder is good now'.

Bread Update (hexbear.net)
 

Mission success on making a decent sourdough at the restaurant, last two batches turned out very nice (and consistent). Previous crumb issues were due to lacking fermentation from a weak starter. Began feeding it twice a day and now it doubles in 3 hours instead of 5.

Also made sure to use warm water in the dough to kickstart the fermentation and mix some of the water into the starter to make it mix more evenly into the dough, avoiding uneven fermentation.

Furthermore, I've begun 'over-mixing', doing 5 minutes on low speed and 5-6 minutes on high speed in the mixer, letting the dough rest a few minutes when it starts to tighten too much. Makes it much easier to work with during the bulk ferment.

I accidentally let it slip in front of the boss that I like to bake and now I'm stuck making the sourdough at the restaurant I work at, dog I've been here like a month, I don't want to be workshopping your bread recipe. bread's getting good though, but I hate baking in a combi steam oven.

like, it looks great, but the crumb is still too dense for my liking and doesn't really get the squishy soft texture I'm looking for. It's a slightly upscale buffet restaurant, and I really want guests to fill up on (good) bread so we can save on food costs and time refilling the actual dishes.

Does anyone have any tips for open baking in a combi oven?

We're doing like 8-10 loaves a day when it gets busy.

Right now I'm doing a blend of manitoba, rye and a semi wholegrain heritage grain with high protein, 72% hydration and a starter that doubles in 4-5 hours. 4 sets of stretch and fold after kneading it in the bread mixer for around 5 minutes, total bulk ferment is around 5 hours and then cold ferment in the walk-in overnight.

Baked with 100% steam at 230c for 15 minutes with no fan, then no steam, still no fan, at 210c for 20-25 minutes and then 240c for a bit for the colour.

I think this one had some uneven fermentation for some reason, and the oven spring was lacking, even with the nice ear that formed, crumb is good, but dense

this one was really nice, but it spread out a little too much because I had too high hydration, around 80% (the other ones in the batch looked a lot flatter)

I feel like the bottom rack of the smaller oven produces the best loaves, but I can't really justify only baking 3 loaves at a time when we only have 2 small ovens and 1 big and produce food for around 100-200 people on weekends
