It sounds like you're looking for slaves. There's a reason slavery is illegal.

If this isn't deliberately rage bait, there is something very wrong with you.

I prefer fountain pens. I usually carry a couple disposable ones in my bag, and keep the nicer refillable ones on my desk at home and at work.

My wife had to do the low fodmap thing for a while, but I'm usually the one who does the cooking. She is also vegetarian which limited things even more. The best thing I learned was you could get decent pizza dough by combining gluten free flour and adding back in vital wheat gluten.

As you probably already know, regular flour isn't low fodmap, but gluten free flour is. As long as you don't have an issue with gluten, you can buy and vital wheat gluten separately and mix it in and end up with something that more closely resembles regular dough.

Unfortunately I don't remember what ratio I used. I also never tried extending it to other bread-like foods but it might be worth a try. I hope the general idea is enough for you to start some experiments.

Good luck!

I picked up my sunfish sailboat for free off Craigslist. It even came with a trailer. I had to do a little fiberglass work to keep the water on the outside, but considering the price it was well worth it.

Don't be "that guy".

Depending on the situation, whatever "that guy" is will be different, but generally I try not to be "that guy". Very rarely "that guy" is a good guy, and then the whole philosophy breaks down, but most of the time that's not the case, and I am happy trying not to be "that guy".

I've been told a lot that I have a great voice and that I should be in the radio many times as an adult. I've never actually considered it because I hate hearing the sound of my own voice, and I assume people are just being nice.

How often do you exercise?

If you had asked me a couple weeks ago, I would have said Unihertz. I loved my tiny little Jelly Star.

Unfortunately, the backlight for the screen died. It is still technically under warranty, but the options they gave me were 1) We'll ship you the part, and you can pay a local shop to put it in. 2) Pay to mail us the phone, and we'll fix it and get it back to you in the next month or two. or 3) Buy a replacement phone at a discount.

It irks me that the only option that won't cost me more money is having them ship me the part and trying to replace it myself.

I still like the little phone, but there is no way in hell I am giving that company any more of my money.

Sorry for the rant. To actually answer the question: I like my Google Phone. I don't love Google per se, but the phone itself works pretty well.

Edit: Since writing this, I received the replacement screen, and I will say that it was surprisingly easy to take apart and repair. I don't think most people already have the tools to do so, and I still don't think I should be responsible for the repair myself, but I do once again have a functional phone after spending 0 additional dollars. Also, I like the phone just a little bit more because it was substantially easier to take apart than all of the other phone's I've worked on.

During the height of the pandemic, the wife convinced me a few times to just be lazy and order delivery. Every single time I remember eating the food, and thinking "I could have made this better, faster, and cheaper than what I am currently eating".

The word "demo" is used as an abbreviation for both demolish and demonstrate. I like to assume the wrong option whenever possible.

Example:

Salesman: Would you like to demo our product?

Me: Hell yeah! Let me get my sledge and a Sawzall.

Is it the high gloss stuff, or the 80 grit option?

I was never big on photographing my food but I found this one particularly pretty. It was over a decade ago, and I don't remember what restaurant it was. Somewhere in NYC.

I find most foods are best as soon as they are made, but some things seem to get better when the flavors have more time to meld. The only two I can think of right now are chili and hummus. What other dishes am I forgetting, or haven't tried that you think get better with a little time?

I want to replace one half of this with longer wire, but I am not confident about the name of the connector used.
