You understand Sway is a passion project, distributed with source for free, and Windows is a comercial product licensed to you by a multinational corperation, right?

Dang bro, how much did you pay for it? I’d try to get my money back if I were you.

I mean…

Actually no, they look at your face and your ID, make sure the information matches, and move you along. No secondary inspection, no difference except you didn’t get scanned with facial recognition. It’s the same process as before facial recognition was implemented.

Why even write that comment?

Yeah pretty much. It obviously depends on your company’s continuity priorities but you’re going to have a pretty hard time doing a better job of backing up databases and keeping them safe per dollar than Amazon does.

Nice. Do drive next!

All good, I’ve been there too :)

My guy they (formerly I) know. After you’re hooked it feels out of your control. It becomes a mechanism your brain uses to alleviate stress or to relax. For me, for a long time, it helped me socialize, as I was alone in a new city, working a serving job. After it became a part of who I was, stopping wasn’t just ceasing buying and smoking cigarettes, it was now changing my identity and my personality.

I’ve quit now but I’m here to tell you its big ask of someone, and you shouldn’t judge folks who try and fail, but treat it as a vallient effort, and encourage them to try again.

I hear you though, having been a non smoker for a few years now I can smell it and I know what you mean. Just try to remember those are real people behind the addiction, and that for those of us old farts, some of us thought it made us look cool, and were led into it, despite the warnings.

Hey I’ve been there, and after reflecting on it, the truth is, (at least from my perspective), you don’t really, truely want it yet. Don’t take that as judgement, I’m certainly not in a place to judge, but I’ve kicked severeral multi-year addictions, and weed was one I had the pleasure of just “deciding to quit”. For me quitting weed came with breaking a friendship of the longtime smoking buddy I had, though after getting off of it and reflecting, I realize he was just using me as a convenient spot to store his weed. YMMV, but I think you got this, and hopefully my experience lends some light onto your difficulties with quitting.

Oh I thought that was an April fools joke! I’m pretty sure I saw something about it on April 1st on the homepage. Had no idea it was a real thing.

What the heck is archinstall?

Me too, though, while I’ve seen him be critical of tactics, admittedly I’ve never seen JCS do an entire episode about crimes committed by the police themselves.

This looks great. Where’d you find it?

Hey, I’m not disagreeing with you here, but keep in mind none of those things are necessary for survival, and most such products can last decades if properly maintained.

I think you’re arguing against the most extreme interpretation of what this person said.

To give you an example, I’ll show you what it looks like if I were to interpret your comment in the same way:

In some capacity, you have to admit, self sufficiency is possible. Forged metal, magnets, and batteries aren’t necessary to sanitize water, grow, forage or hunt food, or to build shelter.

I think that’s how they said “gold digger” ~2700 years ago

That would be illegal. This is in a gray area

It’s probably to avoid paying tolls, assuming the auto tag readers can’t figure out the font

I laughed out loud at this. Thank you.

Thanks for this! I think this is exactly what I need. I’m very early in my breadmaking journey and making pan de cristal will, I hope, teach me a few things with regard to gluten development and folding. I’m going to make an attempt this weekend, thanks again!

These are good notes. Just what I was hoping for. I’m using a dutch oven with a splash of water added just before the dough to get it steamy.

Next time I’ll

• nix the sugar completely
• use at least 50g of starter
• use my hand to mix
• try to resist the urge to add flour

The last point will be the hardest. Every time I’ve attempted sourdough before this it’s been extremely wet, no matter what I do. Like, so wet that the scoring cuts just immediately heal.
