Celery Man

I’m up to 150g of lard per pound of flour, still 1 cup warm milk and a tsp salt. I think more fat makes everything come together quicker - I mix the dry ingredients and the lard with my hands until it is like sand, mix in the milk while I’ve got it in the kitchen aid on 2 with the hook. It’s usually ready to be rolled into balls in a few minutes.

^^longcat spoiler, just kinda compiling my bonsai pics

Have you ever read Fargo Rock City by Chuck Klosterman? It’s been like 15 years but I feel like you would dig it. It’s kinda a response to Michael Azerrad’s “our band could be your life” (which is great, about the most influential bands in 80s underground rock). I think he opens it kinda shitting on elitist college rock snobs and talking about how if you didn’t like Motley Crue you never experienced it correctly - blasting in a single cab pickup in a cornfield. Something like that.

I would not have guessed that he was alive.

Aren’t those ones like… pressing the tortilla on to a hot surface? I’m picturing the machine at Taco C. I have a bigass tortilla press and the only thing it makes with flour tortillas is a big mess. It just sticks, the plastic sheet trick doesn’t work, it’s a mess. Maybe if I tried again now that I know what I’m doing more I might could make it work but I don’t think so.

awesome. trying to figure out if apart from cosmetics that is different from the hummingbird. do you know what the scale length is? Also, obviously the strat is a great guitar and this one here is among my favorite personal guitars, and it works without flow for many people, but I don't know where the fuck you guys keep your hand that it's confusing how the knob or the switch could be considered "in the way"

We could derail this thread entirely, but I’d say that a strong argument could be made for the mid social media, early smart phone, pre-enshittification era.

The likely splurged on the “leave the hospital with a living baby” option.

I didn’t catch the first part of this conversation but Ms Appleberry fucks.

in retrospect those early gok gok videos were wholesome

Parks, 30, Community, 🤷

It is God.

Can I use it as a verb?

I doubt that the change is because men are raping less.

ur mom keeps my meat vessel operating

I think there are always a lot more virgin/near virgin types than people who have more partners think. I feel like among the nerds I’ve worked with there were some people who never ever got laid, some people who probably did twice in college but not much since then, and people who fit that mold who then found a similar nerdette online and got married. And a bunch of folks with more “normal” levels of physical intimacy. my brother in law has been overweight since forever, drives a bread truck, serial friend zoned by girls out of his league, now he likes fishing, camping, and knives, his dog, authoritarian politics, and not trying to have sex at all. i think a thing that has changed is that people have bigger lives online and there are larger niche communities that are accessible. 40 years ago if you don’t like the popular music, you need an older brother somewhere to show you husker du or you just move on to other things. Now if you can only orgasm while wearing a diaper you can find an active community of like minded individuals in 4 minutes. And those communities have gone from being the sideshow to your real life to the reverse for many people - they begrudgingly go out and do what is required to keep their meat vessel operating before they dip back into the metaverse. It is normal for these dudes to talk about not getting laid and accept not having a “normal” full social life because they are constantly surrounded by others like them in the place where they primarily exist.

Buddy in Lincoln is clear, sounds like he spent a lot of the evening in a parking garage basement

unfortunately, hornhub has been blocked by the state of texas

more than that but only barely, so really not the end of the world. this is probably my own stupidity as well. she's starting a new full time job where they actually pay her and she's a little grumbly about making sure that we get that set up correctly for the filing jointly tax rate. tone, etc

i think the biggest leap in my playing came when i bought a bunch of acoustics. of course i was also drunk and massively depressed, doing almost nothing but sitting on my couch and holding on to my pretty toys uh yeah for sure. strat volume knob is right where I want to anchor my hand and it's easy for me to hit the switch. don't even get me fucking started on the jaguar (not mine, back in the band days when I switched off with the other guitarist/bassist). I used painters tape on the stupid switches to keep them in place. no problem with teles. The hand position thing with the strat became a problem for me after I spent a long time playing mostly acoustics. Knocking switches around I find easy to do, but it's also probably influenced by leaning into performatively large right hand movements as stage presence
