“CD labeling pen” They sold permanent markers with thin tips specifically for writing on CDs.

HH has a meaning, unfortunately. If you’re German, you’ll know. Or if you’re Elon Musk.

BND: There’s a high probability that the last pandemic was caused by negligence in China.

US: Last Pandemic? Wait, hold my pisswater.

Very long time ago Electronic Arts (ECA at the time, with the cube, ball and pyramid logo) published amazing games.

I really really enjoyed my Racing Destruction Set or the Pinball Construction Set on the C64.

I’m just happy now I did pirate them and never gave them my money to cause what EA is now.

So in my eyes “ECA” is another company “EA” killed.

(40 years ago, when I was 15 - sue me, EA )

Someone forgot to add the googly eyes.

Also depends a lot on the oven. Incidentially today I bought a (used) new one (after I found it in local listings for 50 Eur - and sold off my old one for 30 Eur).

The old one goes to 260C, the new one gets to 300C. No way to make decent pizza in the old one (I tried) , but with the new one and a steel I’d have a chance.

I’m German so I have good access to Italian flour, for Pizza I use Caputo Pizzeria (for which I pay Eur 2.50 per kg). I order a few packages online.

Typical supermarket flour here has a lower protein content - so it can hold less water.

The Caputo is about 3 times the price of supermarket flour, but 1kg of flour is 6 (round) pizzas, so the difference is a few cent per pizza.

Check youtube for good information - damn, I forget the name of the channel, it’s a married couple showing Italian cuisine , he’s American she’s Italian. They have a video how they make the rectangular pizza in the household oven.

This is crazy, chatgpt just found what I was looking for from roughly the above description:

What a burn. The Tesla might even catch fire from this comment alone.

That sounds like extremely low water. I go for 60-68% of water by weight. Ah and I use pizza flour (tipo 00, high protein).

The choice in flour makes a huge difference.

I’ve never eaten good pizza out of a household oven, so I’ve bought an electric pizza oven for 200 Eur.

By weight I use 60% of water compared to the flour (i. e. 500g of high protein pizza flour to 300g of water), 7g of salt and a very low amount of dry yeast. Overnight proofing in the fridge, next day I ball the dough (around 270g per pizza) and let it proof at room temp for a few hours.

Baking 3 minutes at 400°C (740F)

The investment for the oven has well paid off, as I don’t order any pizza to my home, anymore. You can freeze dough balls or use more yeast for “same day dough”.

Edit: Ah what nobody mentioned in the other comments (I think): The choice of flour makes a huuuuuge difference. Use pizza flour or at least a high protein flour (which has at least 12% of protein)

Let’s say grok is just leaning a bit to the right.

As a man I’d have never believed how common such behavior is. I’d have thought that’s really outlandish.

Now I’ve gone through the (probably stereotypical) process of a guy having a daughter, she’s an adult now.

What she told me - no, all this stuff isn’t unusual at all. The first time she was afraid (and called me as she already had a phone of her own) she was not even 10 years old, riding her bike from my place to the ex-wife’s place, teenage boys catcalling her.

There’s a lot of us men around who find it hard to believe, because it doesn’t happen to US. But it does. Frequently.

tja.

Tell me. I recently dated this blonde girl and suddenly I’m divorced, burnt out and middle aged. Ok, I still got two cool adult kids.

Yes that’s right. It’s a get your shit together or go bust moment for us here in Europe.

Yep, I know that for myself. But I can’t switch away from github as that is where the huge company I work for has its stuff - and it needs convincing the enterprises, not the individuals.

Personally I just have my own repos which I can move anywhere in an eyeblink. But it takes political power to. move governments, departments and companies.

For example I have no way to ditch Teams or Outlook, because that’s the accounts my employer set up. I can’t ditch my RSA hardware token, because that’s what my. employer’s customer uses. I can’t ditch. my work phone as only Samsung and Apple are vetted.

That’s something that needs to change on a pan-europrean level.

Musk is not a Nazi, because the Nazis built great cars.

Migrating cloud servers to European hosters. Give EU money to improve/build a linux desktop. Use that desktop in government, schools, universities… (instead of Windows). Fork Firefox. Host fediverse services and use them where the governments use Twitter / TikTok / Insta.

Harder: Mandate for mobile phones with a user installable OS (Cyanogen etc.) Force tech companies to provide total transparency about data usage. Cancel any safe harbor agreements.

In the end, everything the Open Source crowd wished for.

Btw, I’d have no issues with American / Russian / China hosted open source stuff when we can review what it does. Ah, ok, a “european code review agency” might be a thing.

Yeah, a minority of people voted for Hitler, too.

That’s fair. It will be used a lot, as it is about the price of a box of eggs at the end of this year.
