  • Wait. I thought it was DEI’s fault. Instead it’s really the fault of a guy who hasn’t worked there since Jan 20. It’s also not the cuts to the air traffic control sector of jobs that happened after Jan 20. Got it.

    Of note, the producer of The Apprentice liked working with Trump because even after ratings fell and the show was in the dumpster, Trump would get out there and sell the show as brilliant, beloved, and with top ratings. It’s what he does.

  • It’s quite the perspective to see such a large slice of jobs created due to Amazon deliveries via USPS. In addition, to know that segment of jobs is for delivering Made in China product via Amazon.

    I do have to wonder if Trump was mindful of this long game. Last time he said the USPS was getting ripped off by Amazon.

  • Sure it’s Leopards, but how is Bezos reporting the truth of the cost a hostile act?

    This is such a Cluster B personality disorder style reaction. Malignant narcissists lash out at anyone who contradicts or provides evidence against their false reality, and every malignant narcissist constructs a false reality for themselves and the people around them. Classic. Toxic. Definitely a page from the cluster B personality disorder playbook.

    I’m no defender of Bezos, but the additional costs need to be publicized.

  • When you start, you follow recipes. Pick a type of cuisine you like. At some point as you explore recipes you will start to understand the “flavor bouquet” of that cuisine. This understanding will help you with what spices go together in a pleasant way, and in what amounts. Like Thai food. Or Italian food.

    That said, bread can be a gateway recipe. It’s simple: yeast, flour, water + a sugar to activate the yeast. Not all bread is sandwich bread. Starting with flatbread (for hummus, gyro, etc) or pizza crust also works. No bread machines, that would defeat the purpose of your original question, but a stand mixer with a dough hook is ok. For sandwich bread, King Arthur Flour has solid recipes (ignore ingredient branding).

    If you like vids, Kenji Lopez-Alt is excellent. He also has a book called The Food Lab which is useful but not necessary, depending on how you learn. Serious Eats also has useful guides.
