I agree that weight is the best way to go, however not all recipes use weight and some conversions do not work well. An adjustable measuring device like this may help: https://www.oxo.com/2-cup-adjustable-measuring-cup.html

A diploma does not create opportunities, but not having one will close doors. I know because I don’t have one. If it will only take a year, get the degree if it doesn’t break the bank. Otherwise, stay employed and stay relevant with current tech by getting/renewing certifications every couple of years.

Outside in a place that gets full sun for most of the day.

I just planted lettuce and cauliflower myself, but onions, garlic, carrots, and broccoli are also good.

I need insurance too, so finding a job with benefits is important. I didn’t say the changes were easy. I have jumped from the frying pan into the fire, so mistakes have been made and i have learned from them. Change takes a lot of hard work and perseverance, but worth it in the end.

Life is too short to be miserable at work. My attitude is that I need a job, but I don’t need this job. I have changed jobs many times, and will do again if necessary.

I think she has a quest for you; and it’s clearly to get her food.

The difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits.

Also, you can’t make things idiot proof, they will always build a bigger idiot.

Surprised there’s still someone willing to work for him, and yet not. People are weird.

No, there are lots of ways to make the bread more or less tangy. Feed your starter with bread flour instead of whole grains will reduce the acid for you. You can also increase the amount of starter in a recipe to reduce proof time, and proof at room temp.

The biggest requirement is the starter. After that, you really just need a bowl to mix and proof the dough, and a baking sheet or stone to cook on. Dutch ovens, proofing baskets, lames, etc are nice to have, but not necessary to make great bread.

I doubt there will be meaningful elections in two years, but we can hope.

The only thing keeping them running is the NFL.

…“and some of them even like you.”

I have also done the opposite, skipping places and avoiding fights because it was easier to do. Reach the first boss only to get completely annihilated.

A good idea, but what came to mind: You enter a small well lit cave. The walls have assorted moccasins, chopines, poulaines, and other footware spiked to them. A goblin in a colored shirt runs out and greets you in a croaking voice. “What can I help you with today?”

My philosophy is that I need a job, but I don’t need this job. Its great to see people quit working for companies treating employees poorly.
