Please no.

I've seen a couple of his more recent 'serious' projects and he just ruins it when he's on screen. He doesn't even try in his longlegs movie

If you converted your recipe to use tangzhong you can get that 100% hydration. Basically you just cook some of the flour with water into a gelatinized paste and incorporate it into the rest.

King Arthur has a good explainer https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/blog/2018/03/26/tangzhong

Is it Brawndo?

It’s got electrolytes, it has what plants crave

It's probably a small drop in the bucket for you guys but my employer health insurance didn't cover a pill I needed so I started getting it from mark Cuban's pharmacy site. His tactic is selling pills at cost to manufacture as a big middle finger to corporate pigs everywhere. Might save you some cash

It's just the cat dimension!

When I was young and dumb I took a job with a 70-75 minute commute. I made it maybe a few months before I just couldn't do it anymore. I was motivated by money and I hate to say that once I got some, I bailed.

These days my commute is 40 minutes which is fine because I don't even consider jobs over 45 minutes away. Wish it was shorter but 🤷‍♀️

For a handful of years I lived kinda remote and the commute to just the grocery store was 45, and thankfully my job was too in the same little podunk town. It was there that cemented 45 as my limit

I’m pretty sure Amazon got this idea from Black Mirror’s latest season

Not sure how much detail to include here, but I’m angry, scared, and restless and for the first time in my life decided to go to a protest, the ones that happened today at all the state capitols.

Total newbie, but felt let down because the mood felt like half the people there were going to go home feeling good, pat themselves on the back protesting for a couple hours, then go back to doomscrolling for the next 4 years. I went in hoping to see local socialist or mutual aid or lgbtq groups fielding questions or recruiting. You know, an outlet to use this energy. Guess that was presumptuous of me.

You guys seem to have your shit together with local activism, so I thought that maybe hexbear would be a good place to ask if there’s any groups in SW Washington area that you could point me towards. My partner and I were planning to join the auntie network after roe v wade fell, but were unable to offer the space we had planned for hosting out of state visitors. So I don’t know how to spend this itch to help.

Got any advice hexbears?

 

I have a family member living on my property in a separate but adjacent living space, close enough together to share my router's wifi. She likes to let her youtube app endlessly autoplay talking head news videos at full volume due to her hearing loss, and this goes on for a few hours in the mornings. The sound through the walls is annoying but headphones block enough that it's a non-issue as long as I can load something to play through them. The real rub is that I also would like to do something on the laptop during breakfast and her neverending news autoplay eats up all the bandwidth I am paying for when I want to use it. I can't cut off her internet, but I could prioritize my traffic over hers in the morning so that I can load an episode of something and listen through headphones. Yes I know this would be a bit unscrupulous but I have already suggested she not doomscroll via youtube all morning, to no avail.

Setting up a separate ISP account for the adjacent space isnt an option for the time being. The router/modem combo is ISP-issued and locked down by default due to too many service calls from people breaking stuff in settings. As far as I know it is not able to be swapped out to an off-the-shelf due to this being fiber optic internet, plus I'm only so-so in tech knowledge.

Which leads me to the title, can I put the ISP-issued router in a faraday cage, connect my own router via ethernet and be able to control settings via that route? Any reason I shouldn't/couldn't?
