  • People have a profound lack of understanding about the “billions of dollars to other countries to fund wars”. Honestly, it’s like this country has gone full “Idiocracy”.

    Honey, sweetie, baby, it’s a simplistic way of putting it. I’m sure that raging at strangers on the internet is a good time for you but please take some time to breathe in between so you don’t give yourself an aneurysm.

    That’s why House Republicans are blocking aid to Ukraine because they want to tank the economy.

    Literally not part of the current discussion, but it is no big surprise to anyone what the republicans are doing.


  • Which would be great if Republicans and SCOTUS would allow it.

    So the excuse then is that he should not waste the effort to try because SCOTUS and the Republicans will shoot it down? I would rather his administration try and fail than to continue just freely giving away our money to fund foreign wars.

    What more could he do?

    Others have said it more concisely than I have the time or energy to already. As I said I am not irritated that people are getting help, it’s awesome. I am irritated because more can be done, or at least fought for, and it is not happening to the scale it should be.


  • Why not both? I am stoked that some people are getting relief! That said, if we can send billions of dollars to other countries to fund wars, I feel like we can do a little more here at home.

    I am fortunate that I am doing okay financially that my loan payments won’t bankrupt me but I know not everyone is in that same position. However if I hadn’t been so close to taking care of other debts before the deferment finally went away things would have gotten uncomfortably right for me and my family.

    I am aware that this is a me problem but I feel like with as long as that shit was deferred and with the price gouging that is happening in literally every aspect of life right now I am allowed a little anger towards Biden for not doing more.

    Thank you! Nothing special, just a pizza stone in a 500° oven for this one. I just let it preheat for a while first.

    If I can’t don’t semolina flour at my grocery store I likely will grab some cornmeal. Semolina is a little less coarse than corn meal and they both make a nice slide off the peel.

    Sure! It’s the same day dough recipe out of Flower Water Salt Yeast that I modified the overall weight down to 1000g and ended up letting cold ferment overnight.

    White flour 581g - 100% Water 407g (90°-95°) - 70% Salt 12g - 2% Instant yeast 0.47g - 0.08%

    Hydrate the yeast with a few tbsp of the warmed water.

    Mix the rest with the flower for the autolyse. Mix by hand and let hydrate for ~30m.

    Add salt and hydrated yeast, work into dough. Cover and let rest for an hour.

    Fold dough in bowl once, oil bowl with olive oil, place dough back in oiled bowl and top with a little more oil.

    Let rest 6 hours.

    Divide into equal piece (I did 5 pieces at 200g each)

    Use or store in the fridge until you’re ready to use. I let it temper for about 45m at room temp before I stretched it out. I baked at 500° on a preheated pizza stone in my oven until it looked done, didn’t really keep an eye on the time.
