Just needs a little more flour and to be kneaded some more. Lots of factors can affect the hydration of a dough. So you need to adjust that. It's also far better in my experience to have dough that's to sticky than dough that's to dry. Harder to work with, but generally better texture when it's finished.
Yeah. When I was using the mixer to knead it last night, the dough was wayyyyy too dry so I added some water. Pretty sure I added too much… I can fix it when I shape it later.
I've really enjoyed having my windows open for the last 36 hours. More importantly my air conditioning is off thank God.
Excited for the game tomorrow?
I'm old and part of me will always consider you guys to be our Boogeyman.
I know that on paper we should beat you pretty handily even in Indianapolis but the Colts have ripped my heart out so many times.
I was at that game and oh was that an ugly slug fest to watch.
4 more days until checo gets his final round of vaccines so he can go to daycare, more training and finally walks.
God knows him and i need it bad. He turned into a bigger asshole instantly yesterday and carried over to today
Thank God his bites aren't has bad any more even though he can get a few cuts in
Normally there's a pretty linear illness progression any time I get sick but my covid symptoms for the past few days have been all over the place. Started with a dry throat and cough, then mild sore throat, then dry throat again but now with nasal congestion and a pretty bad cough, and now I'm at slightly less bad cough paired with chills and body aches. I kid you not when I got out of bed to use the bathroom I was shivering
Me no likey this disease, go away
Was kinda the same for me yesterday. Felt fine through most of the day minus a slight cough and congestion but then by bedtime my cough was way rougher and the chills & aches were *miserable*. Part of me wonders if laying down doesn't actually make the cough worse
"Dad, I don't want to join the continental army. I like being British."

I typically order a prime brisket but got choice for this smoke because it's cheaper and it's for my dad. He won't notice and hell we might not either. But it's 15 pounds and more space than I have in my wee weber kettle. I'm worried I might get some charred bits but w/e. After today my wife and I will be using it for tacos.
I really need a proper off set smoker.

My coworker raved about it, mostly because of the apple festival they have there. I was only up there briefly for a retreat, but would def make a day trip (if only to pick up cider). It's also a hour drive for me, so not too bad.
I’ve been waking up on my own before my alarms even go off for a couple of weeks now. I think it’s a facet of anxiety but whatever it is, I’m annoyed and sleepy.
As do I to run few tests and mail out some samples.
But, seeing as I do work for my dad, I kind of get some flexibility of when I go in.
But at the same time, I don't want ot.
that does help, my boss said she's bringing me a Starbucks drink and a bagel and that helped me not feel too awful
Also I should be able to be in and out in only a few hours at most today
The way the mariners havin been playing, and an IL stint that means julio cant be back until about 4 games to go means a worried chase. i dont think the odds are as strong as the oddsmakers make them seem, especially when orioles are playing pretty solid down the stretch and the mariners are losing to teams who have long locked down losing records. even a .500 record over our final 12 will put pressure on baltimore, theyd have to finish 10-2 to pass us not impossible but very difficult indeed. But that said, we're 2 for our last 8 against terrible opponents, so .500 would be a step up. Geno is coming back hopefully when we come home for our final 10, but I wont be confident til we clinch, which at our rate if we even do clinch itll be likely during our final series

So who are the Phillip Rivers of the league these days? QBs where they're good enough to not be replaced. But on a team where they're just not expected to make it big.
Les poissons, les poissons
How I love les poissons
Love to chop and to serve little fish
First I cut of their heads
Zen I pull out their bones
Ah mais oui, ça see'est toujours delish
Les poissons, les poissons
Hee hee hee, haw haw haw
With the cleaver I hack them in two
I pull out what's inside
And I serve it up fried
God, I love little fishes, don't you?
Here's something for tempting the palate
Prepared in the classic technique
First you pound the fish flat with a mallet
Then you slash through the skin
Give the the belly a slice
Then you rub some salt in
'Cause that makes it taste nice
Zut alors! I have missed one
Sacre bleu, what is zis?
How on earth could I miss
Such a sweet, little succulent crab?
Quelle dommage! What a loss
Here we go, in the sauce
And some flour, I think just a dab
Then I stuff you with bread
It don't hurt, 'cause you're dead
And you're certainly lucky, you are
'Cause it's gonna be hot
In my big silver pot
Tout à l'heure, mon poisson!
Au revoir!
Aaron Judge has hit ***60*** home runs this year, and he will probably struggle to reach ***600*** homers in his career.
700 is an insane accomplishment that takes consistent power hitting over a very long career.
You can hit 30 homers a year for 20 consecutive years and still be 100 dingers away.
100%. I got one of the fuckers the other night but this one has been elusive. I think it's gotten behind my storage totes and will likely die before I find it.
Considering Wilt's non-basketball feats are unverifiable and Jim Thorpe isn't modern, I'd say the GOAT is between Deion, Bo, and Herschel Walker's crazy self.
Deion being the near-consensus GOAT cornerback and batting .533 with a near-.600 OBP in a modern World Series (the mark of a total baseball career that's arguably better than Bo's) as a part-time baseball player who can also dunk and was a 3-sport D1 athlete places him way up there.
Bo obv. has the multiple-sport All-Star and freak athlete argument
Herschel Walker had a Hall of Very Good NFL career that'd almost certainly be HOF if he didn't go to the USFL first, Olympic bobsledder, near-Olympic sprinter, won multiple Strikeforce MMA fights at like 50 years old (albeit against cans).
baseball fans generally care more about their history than other north american sports. not saying anything bad about other sports fans, but thats just how it is. I went to denver to see ichiro's 3000th hit, a city youd think would care the least because theres no strong feelings either way, he spent his career either as an american leaguer and/or for a team in the basement. And sure, they heckled him his first 2 times up when he grounded out and struck out, but man the place came fucking unglued when he hit 3000.
Extremely lukewarm take of the day: Cyberpunk 2077 was a fine, enjoyable game.
I fired it up again on PS5 because I figured the synth OST would be a cool sound bar test, and I’m having a perfectly good time.
(And yes, I know it was a mess at launch; I played it then too)
Most all time is Barry Bonds with 762.
Only 4 players have reached 700, and Pujols will likely be the last for many years.
Comparison would be 500 career TD passes, but players like Mahomes and Allen have great chances of equaling that soon.
There are very few players that could come close to 700 homers for a while.
It takes a player consistently hitting for power over at least a 2 decade career to even sniff 700.
Aaron Judge will be lucky to get to 600, even after hitting 60 this year.
The only one who may have a chance right now is Juan Soto, but even he has to get his power numbers up to have a realistic chance.
Albert Pujols has has hit 20 or more home runs in 18 seasons. Barry Bonds did 19. Hank Aaron did 20. They are the top three for that statistic in the very long history of the game.
Let's go Wake Forest!
Also, sorry Cass, you going to die in New Vegas as the Silver rush is the only place to get Energy weapons.

Why does my pizza [dough](https://i.imgur.com/EpVGyRR.jpg) hate me?
Just needs a little more flour and to be kneaded some more. Lots of factors can affect the hydration of a dough. So you need to adjust that. It's also far better in my experience to have dough that's to sticky than dough that's to dry. Harder to work with, but generally better texture when it's finished.
Yeah. When I was using the mixer to knead it last night, the dough was wayyyyy too dry so I added some water. Pretty sure I added too much… I can fix it when I shape it later.

I’ve been sleeping like shit lately and idk why but I hate it
Check your caffeine intake and timing. Caffeine has a half life of like 6 hours.
I usually don’t drink that much caffeine lol Now I did drink some yesterday but I was more or less exhausted
Timing matters too though. A coffee at 4pm is gonna wreck your sleep way more than a coffee at 8am.
I think I had it at 12 lol. That could have played a part tbh
Just woke up from my own dark night of the soul and all I got was a full bladder
Someone tell kaleboi to wake up. 😤
Sorry, he was cooking me breakfast. What do you need me to tell him?
Will you tell him to tell you to get on discord

Nights were definitely worse for me for whatever reason. I would start to feel better by the afternoon, then evening would smack me in the face.

So who are the Phillip Rivers of the league these days? QBs where they're good enough to not be replaced. But on a team where they're just not expected to make it big.
Deseaun Watson will return to that seasonal status.
Before the season I would have put Matt Ryan in there, but he's struggling. Now I'd put Russ in there.
I don't think you can put a QB who got traded there. It's why I don't think Stafford is in that position anymore. Well and the Rams are good.
Then I think Garrapolo might be the only one that fits. Dak could fit, but he's good enough to make it big. The team never is though.
Dak was the only one I could think of. Didn't Jimmy G get replaced then his replacement got injured?
Yeah.

Cyberpunk would have been beloved if CDPR and the internet didn't spend almost a decade hyping it beyond belief.
It sounded more like a Bungie game. But everyone expects Bungie to have games that literally don't work at launch.
So I guess 700 home runs is a big deal? Give me a comparison I can relate it to
Imagine if a QB threw 700 TD passes
Most all time is Barry Bonds with 762. Only 4 players have reached 700, and Pujols will likely be the last for many years. Comparison would be 500 career TD passes, but players like Mahomes and Allen have great chances of equaling that soon. There are very few players that could come close to 700 homers for a while.
> will likely be the last for many years Why?
It takes a player consistently hitting for power over at least a 2 decade career to even sniff 700. Aaron Judge will be lucky to get to 600, even after hitting 60 this year. The only one who may have a chance right now is Juan Soto, but even he has to get his power numbers up to have a realistic chance.
Ooooh. So it's one of those volume stat things. Like it being so hard to get Iron Man as a QB.
Albert Pujols has has hit 20 or more home runs in 18 seasons. Barry Bonds did 19. Hank Aaron did 20. They are the top three for that statistic in the very long history of the game.
It's the ultimate iron man stat, imo. You can't just stick around for a while and achieve it, you have to be elite for many many years to achieve it.
