Pizza is king. So frustrating though. I've resolved to to proper split testing of dough recipes over the weekend. Mine is either too springy or just toigh. Gonna test different hydration levels and ditching anything but flour, water, salt, and yeast.



Find him so soothing to listen to. Great juxtaposition with the over enthusiastic young lad in that video.
Birthday next week so gonna splash out on a good knife.

Leave the sugar out, any dough i have made with it is just crazy, even in the fridge.

Would ye guys retweet this. It's my buddy's gran. Doing it for his mother as she's not in too happy a place due to the lockdown - and thought it would give her a nice story when on the phone to the gran. It's pretty nice actually.

Numbers for confirmed cases and deaths are hard to make sense of but US and UK appear like they could be about to head off in a different direction from the rest.

Small sample over a small timeframe in a sparsely populated region which hasn't been hit particularly hard during that time frame?

Not to mention only 10% of tests from the most densely populated region? They only took 2x the cases from Glasgow that they took from the Highlands??

Maybe some estimations of the asymptomatics are optimistic but this hardly moves the needle in the other direction?

The Germans have done a similar test in a town hard hit by the virus. 14 to 15% was the infection rate.

Germany also has larger scale antibody testing planned according to the FT.

The Handmaid's Tale is another show I have been meaning to catch up on. I can imagine it it takes on a more prophetic sense having seen the world change so dramatically so quickly that the brain may view its dystopian alternative reality as not so quite far fetched making it an even more chilling watch. I think I might leave catching up on it for another while

Mate lives in Buenes Aires and said there is widespread dengue fever outbreak that has just reached his apartment complex so trying to dodge two things, afaik thats got by mosquito bite so cant think of anything worse than sweating that awful zzzbuzzzz sound every time.

In better news bagged 111k in the Irish Open, 90 bigs for day 2 certainly good for morale.

Hopefully this is just a case of bad initial testing?

Washable seems good, I dont have smelly shoes, but slippers need to be changed every 6-12 months, they pong...maybe its the no socks ?

Most slippers are washeable. I'd pop mine in for a wash about once a month. Just make sure and put them in with a full wash, as they'll bounce all over the place. Takes more than a day to dry them, so a second pair at a minimum is necessary.

It's true. Remember a few weeks ago when there was far less death in Italy and it was being written up as absolute carnage. Maybe it was. But it is noteworthy how a worse situation isn't described in the same way.

Trump is only stopping short of saying ' hey, be glad you're not black'.

A South politician preaches to the poor white man
"You got more than the blacks, don't complain
You're better than them, you been born with white skin, " they explain
And the Negro's name
Is used, it is plain
For the politician's gain
As he rises to fame
And the poor white remains
On the caboose of the train
But it ain't him to blame
He's only a pawn in their game

I'm trying to build a home game of block busters - I've got all the hexagon squares built out but I'm looking to be able to change the colour of each hexagon from gold to either blue or white for a standard round or from white to either black or gold on the gold run.

I can get it to change from one colour to another but not two, is two possible?

I'd been thinking about this. Is it partly because the UK is actually coping quite well compared to Italy?

And that's not necessarily to credit the UK - it's noticeable that Italy in particular got hit differently, with Bergamo as a huge epicentre. Whereas the UK seems to be getting hit evenly which causes less strain on resources maybe.
If the UK outbreak was centred disproportionately around Bristol or Edinburgh then they'd have coped less well and we would have had the 'carnage' headlines?

Yeah, Italy basically got the whole UK situation in specific areas, and the death rate was a multiple of the UKs.

So one of the grey poker sites operating in America at the moment and by far the biggest one is America's card room. They are completely flouting the law and in danger of the same thing happening at any time that happened to Full Tilt happening to them. So what do you do when you're raking all the money? Keep the head down and bank the coin for as long as possible? Not if you are owner and operator Phil Nagy.

He organizes a celebrity-filled online poker tournament which will be streamed live today on twitch. Now all of the money is going to charity but talk about drawing attention to yourself. Tom Brady, Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, Bryan Cranston and loads of others all tweeting links to the completely illegal site. I am not sure if this is marketing genius or a horrible misstep that will see the site burn in a hail of FBI fire after all this is over.

Another possible answer is that back then it was terrifying because it hadn't really happened anywhere else to that extent (not including the over thereness of China) but now it is more commonplace sadly? There is also definitely an attitude of most of the media being on the governments side barring absolute disaster. If it was a labour government with corbyn in charge and the exact same thing was happening, it'd definitely be different though.
