I mean, I’m 30 and a non traditional college student. If the weather is agreeable, I have a few nice sweaters that I’ll wear with an undershirt, dark jeans, and I’ve got a pair of Loake boots that are very nice.

I feel GREAT when I dress like that, and get quite a few glances throughout the day. Also my wife eyeballs me as I leave the house.

I have a stark reminder of the worst period in my life where I did the same. The “account performance” chart in an investment of mine showed steady growth and monthly inputs, then there’s a cliff, and over a period of a few months, it’s completely emptied. Thousands, easily. And the vast majority was fast food and liquor

Okay but how do I make it

Chlorine trifluoride, go on

That AIN’T GOIN ANYWHERE

I hope the very much not serious tone came across in my post, so I wouldn’t say it bothers me.

I do find interesting, though, because the outcomes of actions are definitely what I focus on more, as a general rule

Lol I know utilitarianism is not the answer, but that’s the most concise way to say that the vast majority of my thought processes are outcome-oriented

Also, it was kinda necessary to use utilitarianism to get the direct opposites in there for comedic effect. Makes it punchy

That’s a good one, that’s my mom’s favorite. I also like the twice-fed sweet levain recipe from FWSY, I’ve always gotten great oven spring from that one.

I just like tartine the most because the dough feels the best during the process and the flavor at the end is excellent

What recipe do you use? My favorite is the tartine country loaf

What’s ozempic face?

I’m completely unfamiliar with this, can you elaborate?

I’m very confused now

Well now you have to

The only name for them

The withdrawal from Afghanistan is the the most genuine “the buck stops here”, that I can remember. He ripped off the bandaid and it was the right call

You’re looking for your car, but you’re all turned around.

And if for some reason, in your frontier scenario, you have plywood and bracing material, you could go with a rammed earth structure!

I just learned about rammed earth and got a few books about it, it’s so fucking cool. I want to build a house with it now, so my great great great great great grandkids can inherit it

I’m not proud of it, but I got like six little, ~2", brass-plated L-brackets from home depot and attached them along the long sides.

It’s not ideal because TECHNICALLY wood movement could be an issue, but movement with the grain is minimal, and I needed to just get the thing done so I risked it. No issues yet and it has been in my basement (which has pretty significant humidity swings) for probably a year now.

Also, but a dumb question, I reached this exact point in the build, when I had a frame and a top and was like…well now what?

I DRANK EVERY DAY FOR YEARS BECAUSE I WAS UNHAPPY WITH MYSELF AND MY LIFE, THEN I HIT ROCK BOTTOM, BUCKLED DOWN, MADE SOME NECESSARY FUCKN CHANGES, BEEN SOBER FIVE YEARS, AND NOW I’M HAPPILY MARRIED WITH A BABY BOY IN A BEAUTIFUL HOUSE

LIFE IS FUCKING GOOD

I thought the 70% was recommended because it helps maintain membrane fluidity or something like that
