"Wikipedia posted:

Staling is not, as is commonly believed, simply a drying-out process due to evaporation. Bread will stale even in a moist environment, and stales most rapidly at temperatures just above freezing. Bread stored in the refrigerator will have increased staling rates, and therefore bread should be kept at room temperature. However, refrigeration delays the growth of mold and extends the shelf life of bread

One important mechanism is the migration of moisture from the starch granules into the interstitial spaces, degelatinizing the starch. The starch amylose and amylopectin molecules realign themselves causing recrystalisation. This results in stale bread's leathery, hard texture

Don't chill your bread, folks. Unless you want stale bread for grilled cheeses, panninis, or french toast

Yes. And maybe I'll get an answer as to why American bread is more like cake than what the rest of the world understands as bread.

Because it's easier to make people want to eat sweet things and we subsidize the production of more corn syrup than anyone knows what to do with? I maintain that Wonder Bread is the best bread for PB&J's and diner style club sandwiches

I'd argue that church was a good thing for me growing up, the community of love and support is great when you're inside of that bubble, and my fundamentalist church actually helped shaped my super liberal/sex positive/socialist views. But bible clubs and church camp made me a very cynical person

Who among us with mental health issues doesn't relate to this?


E: We all know the fear of involuntary admission
It scared me so much that this was my genuine reaction to horrible psychiatric symptoms that caused me to ruin my life:
"I haven't slept in days, I am seeing the world from behind my skull, and all of the colors of the world dance when I close my eyes. I can't tell my psych who I've been seeing for years, he'll think I'm crazy."


Talk to someone as soon as you notice a problem. I know that mental illness is heavily stigmatized, but if you let it fester, it'll just get harder to get help when you genuinely need it

Great, now I've fallen down the electropop rabbit hole again


It's currently ~530am and I've spent the past 6 hours playing Dark Souls Remastered, it kind of really sucks. I've bought one of the best games of the last generation for $40 and I feel like I've been ripped off
The term "remastered" made me think that they'd actually have finished the game they were releasing this time around, or at least made the interface/controls as good as the newer games, but it's literally just HD Dark Souls at 60fps. Whoopty doo

Some loving rear end in a top hat ate a box of rat poison today. Several hundred dollars, a half dozen shots, and a prescription for a month's worth of pills later, Piper is safe and sound. She was feeling so good after the vet that I had to separate her from the other dogs, since it was too hard to monitor her for labored breathing when she wouldn't stop playing and panting



Now that she's on the cold basement tiles, she's finally getting the rest she needs

Gaming marathon talk...that's partially to blame for me not getting in the garage at all lately. I keep going back and forth between Path of Exile, Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Assassin's Creed Origins. It helps I can watch the puppy while doing this without much trouble. This last weekend we were both exhausted to she watched movies while I played video games, it was a nice weekend to be honest.

I do feel bad that I didn't get poo poo done other than a couple hours of yard work but oh well.

That's a scare, glad you were around or noticed in time. We took Finn to a new vet today after a bit of a scare that left him fearful of strangers at the old one. New place is a fear free place and it's so much better that the 'old school' way of veterinary practice.

What's a fear free vet? I've never heard the term before and not sure how it would work. Vets are basically dogs' version of dentists

Congrats on your $500 box of rat poison.

One of our previous dogs (passed of unrelated cancer about a year ago) had a $500 pack of sugar free gum, after having to have her stomach pumped and force-fed about a pound of activated carbon to remove all of the xylitol from her system.

That's what I thought was going to happen, but apparently after the shots, she just has to take vitamin K for the next month. Thankfully a much less traumatic experience for everyone involved

I bet it's a more open plan, less formal exam tables and more "person in a polo with a chew toy" waiting with open arms for the dog, and then doing exams at the dog/cat's level instead of leashing them to a scale.

That makes sense, our dogs never seemed to like the elevator/exam table, let alone being tethered to it

That's the key here.

As a younger, dumber individual my friend and I got harassed by cops one night while skating (not loving around, literally skating down the bike path from the store), and searched. Each of us had weed on us. I walked with a stern talking to, he was arrested. Charges later dropped, because his lawyer argued successfully that there was no reason to stop and search and that taking one if us but not both was horseshit, but he still lost a job over it. That was in Tampa.

Guess the only difference between us :v:

I got picked up for possession and paraphernalia when I was 15, but I got a ticket for trespassing instead of actual possession so that I wouldn't have a record

When I was 17, we had a huge party in an abandoned building, we had kegs, tons of liquor, a DJ with a real sound system; everything. Inevitably the police came to end the party, they were searching people and checking every ID, with paddy wagons waiting. The cop at the door took one look at me and said, "what are you doing here? Get the hell out of here," and didn't even pat me down or ask to see my ID

I was stopped a block away after a DEA raid started on a trap house I was in when I was 18. I was hiding in a hedge when the city cop who found me just said, "I'll let you go home right now if you promise me that I won't see you again tonight," and literally let me walk away from felony level drug charges that some people got

Guess what color I am, and then guess the color of the majority of people in the neighborhood that I grew up in
