MAJOR UPDATE: I found the best free restaurant bread in the United States www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

None of it is the SAME half of the week either, really boggles the mind how they afford rent.

A small onion pizza with an underwhelming pale crust.

A small plain (cheese) pizza with a (slightly less but still) underwhelming pale crust and very deliciously craggy looking cheese

Testing bread maker pizza. So far I've learned my oven doesn't get hot enough and I prolly need bread flour instead of AP, since I couldn't get these to stretch thin enough. Apparently the interwebs also says I should also let the dough sit in the fridge overnight? Who has the self control for that.

There's no winning 😭

Your dishwasher is better than you think (tips, tricks, and how they work) YouTube video by Technology Connections

Have you seen this video? I was using too much detergent and not running the sink until it was hot, apparently. youtu.be/jHP942Livy0?...

There's a joke in here somewhere about horse trading.

NOAA weather map showing total snow accumulation in the NY capital region for Jan 25-26th, ranging from 8.7" to 17"

Definitely a lot but not THAT much!

People want to have their basic needs met.

They want to be paid a living wage.

They want to stop being nickle and dimed by powerful corporations who control so much of our lives.

They do not want Venezuela.

They do not want Greenland.

They do not want masked thugs terrorizing our communities.

Tbf where else would you get these peak "Oh God It's So Late I Thought It Would Be Over Three Hours Ago" vibes

I enjoyed it but I found that, the further along in the game you get, the worse the RNG hampers the ability to solve puzzles. In the early to mid game stages, there's enough threads to take what you get. Really wanted to work through the end game content but eventually ran out of patience and quit.

That plus Busta Rhymes on the TMNT float sent me

I spent way too much effort on this video. Please watch it, I’m begging you!

The Sunday Papers The Sunday Papers is our weekly roundup of great writing about (mostly) videogames from across the web.

Here’s to @grahamsmith.bsky.social, signing off from RPS after 20 years in game journalism with the wisest thoughts about games media you’ll read www.rockpapershotgun.com/the-sunday-p...

Finally got our knitting machine motor working! Just in time for the last day of Open Sauce. I'm super excited for the next steps after this!!

Really important that Zohran won an unprecedented come-from-behind victory while never flinching from his core values. Didn't throw trans people or immigrants under the bus, didn't back down on his pro-Palestine politics, etc.

I voted early! Here's my NYC mayoral ranking:

1. Zohran Mamdani
2. Brad Lander
3. Michael Blake
4. Adrienne Adams
5. Zellnor Myrie

If you're in New York, make sure you vote early, fill out your whole ballot, and don't rank Cuomo!

It'd be fascinating if we had demographics- I get the impression that the younger age groups don't have much interest in engaging with short form, primarily text content. Cohost seemingly had similar issues trying to make not-tumblr in the 2020s.

A modern tripod desk lamp and a test of my 3d printed knockoff of it, alongside some tasteful decor on an ugly 60s French revival bedside table

The final, refined version of my knockoff lamp with a fun zigzag shade design, in brown, on a brown table, next to a couch with part of a laptop visible but out of focus on the background

Is it theft to make clones of a lamp you like? It certainly saves money, but not as much as physical theft would've...

Volunteer | Zohran for NYC This campaign is about talking to thousands of New Yorkers across the city about how we make this city work better for the many and not the few. And to do this, we need you!

Do you live in or around NYC? Come volunteer for Zohran Mamdani, the amazing socialist, DSA-backed candidate for mayor, and at this point the ONLY shot at defeating Cuomo. There are shifts basically every day and the campaign needs all the help it can get!

The true Minecraft was the friends we made along the way.

Procrastination? No, it's Just In Time Delivery

fuck chuck schumer and anybody down with him

A pot of chili. Unappetizingly Brown on brown, but luckily it tastes incredible.

Many pounds of chili mac ensconced in a casserole dish covered in melted & crisped cheddar cheese.

Possibly the best chili I've ever made, inside the best chili mac I've ever made (I have never made chili mac before)(the mac is actually cavatappi, fight me.)

I think the academy got a little mixed up this year: Emilia Pérez is a horrible movie that came out about a trans person, surely they meant to nominate I Saw The TV Glow- a movie about the horror of being trans and never coming out.

Yeah. The cruelty is the point.

I think this might be the silliest picture I've ever taken of Dusty Nachos.

It would seem to be pretty cold today.

2024 was not the year of project backlog reduction I'd hoped it would be. I only finished a handful of things, and they were all new ideas; I only enlengthened my backlog. I am proud of what I accomplished, though! Finally actually doing some complete machine knitting things. Here's to 2025!
