The larger and heavier ones are actually more expensive, might be something to do with the materials they use? We haven't bought it yet and she is still going through reviews online, and a much cheaper one (relatively, still $900) they had that I suggested we look into is getting good reviews...

It's Norway man, even the cheapest carriages (that really are junk) are like $600. Norwegians have way too much money and this is one of the ways they like to show it off.

What she is doing is messed up, looking after your niece is the right thing. We went carriage shopping today, the prices are eye-watering. Of course my wife wants one of the most expensive ones at $1500. I don't mind paying more for better quality, but these prices are clearly way inflated...

P.S. Where is the IT thread you were talking about? I like a good ransomware story

I'm in.

It's the name of the puffy rim of a pizza, the crust is the part underneath the toppings. All pizza's have a crust, but not all have a cornicione.

I've never used pellets but my guess is that it is similar to other kinds of smoking. Cheap pellets are probably low quality soft wood bulked out with additives and very expensive pellets made entirely of flavorful wood (like apple) with little to no additives. There is probably a range in the...

I think it is more NY style than Neapolitan style given the size and cornicione/crust ratio, although calling it a hybrid would be fair. Plenty of NY pizzas also have a slightly puffy and charred crust as well. If pressed I'd probably just call it an artisanal pizza. Yes, after trying lots of...

It's fine, no one has to like that kind of pizza, but it still isn't burnt. Burning is unintentional, ruining food with chalky texture and overwhelming bitterness. Charring is intentionally over-caramelizing something and stopping before carbonization. I frequently char food, especially...

I just grabbed some photos off Google. I don't think they are trying to be Neapolitan style, the first one looks like a small thin crust from a short fermentation dough. The second is too large, it looks more like a NY style pizza to me. Both are obviously quite burnt since they aren't...

You are right in that it is a little hard to see since the picture is super close in low light of only a slice (rather than the whole pizza), but I promise you it isn't burned. For comparison these pizzas a pretty clearly burned:

Have you never had a Neapolitan pizza before? It is one thing to say you don't like them as a preference, people like what they like, but it is another to be flat out objectively wrong about things that are evident right from the picture. The crust was not even close to being dry (I use an 80%...

Incorrect. Only the onions are burnt, and they are one of the few foods that are sometimes burned intentionally for their distinctive flavor (although I didn't do it intentionally). The crust is charred and those are aroma mushrooms which are dark to begin with and were partially dry roasted...

That is called leoparding and it is charred, not burned. Burned spots would be bitter and ashy which is no good, charring tastes smokey and a little sweet from the caramelized sugars. It is analogous to a steak wher you want the surface to be crusty with some charring but not burned.

Your families' are probably used to American style pizza where the bread isn't highlighted and therefore downplayed in the dish. For example, your spinach pizza looks good, but it has absolutely no cornicione, which is an indication of a more cracker-like dough. Some people prefer that I...

I prefer Neapolitan style pizzas myself. In my opinion pizza is primarily a bread dish and the crust is the most important part, and I can definitely taste the caramelized sugars in the dough when the bubbly bits crisp up like that.

The onions were a little burnt (although still surprisingly tasty), however the crust was just right.

The pizza dinner went well, about 4 pies were eaten. The pesto, caramelized onion, mushroom pizza was the favorite of the night by everyone except me. My twist on the Margarita remains my favorite. Also the fennel, apple, radish salad is one of my new favorite things. I didn't get pictures...

Nice! I've been meaning to do a round (in the oven) since I have the vacuum sealer now. I assume you used eye round? I've never tried chicken, what went wrong? Maybe you have to cure it first like fish?

At first I though you were trolling but now I realize you are just severely retarded. Ghost was coming along pretty well and was canceled solely due to its place in the life-cycle of the original Xbox. It wasn't going to be finished before the 360 came out and would have been too expensive to...

Back to important stuff. We had our first ultrasound today, the baby is actually almost 13 weeks, so a little older than we thought. I was surprised by 2 things; One was how amazing the equipment is these days. The image was very high resolution and even having never really looked at one...

I am not going to shit up this thread by arguing with everyone, especially since I don't even have kids yet. So this is the last I will say on the subject. The research says you are wrong. It clearly shows that our intuitions are incorrect since we don't instinctively account for the genetic...

Most of that falls into "Make sure they don't die or kill themselves" category, which of course matters. Except for the very beginning of a child's life behavior modeling is done by peers and not parents, any effect parent's have through social conditioning is gone pretty quickly once the kid...

Incoming Pokémon friend codes ;) I read books about everything, I probably get through 20 non-fiction books a year. There is a running joke at work where every time some obscure topic comes up I've read a book about it. Public transportation and 5 weeks of vacation are a big help when it...

The data on this is extremely strong. Steven Pinker covered some in The Blank Slate, but Judith Rich Harris was the one who did the bulk of the research. Her book is on my list as well. Most studies on how parenting affects children make the same critical mistake, they don't account for...

The most reliable stuff I've read (from before as well) says that as a parent you have basically zero positive direct influence on how your kid actually turns out via parenting. You can screw them of of course (like abusing them), but otherwise almost nothing you directly do really matters in...

I am doing a pizza dinner for my mother-in-law and a couple of her friends as a birthday gift. For a side I was thinking an apple-fennel salad with a lemon vinaigrette. Thoughts? Better ideas for a side that isn't too much work?

Based on the title I would say he is wrong. Reduced baddening does not equal engoodening. The game still suffers from its fundamental flaws of really terribly designed game systems, adding more content on top that doesn't make the game good, it just pads out the already awful gameplay. It...

I am going to assume the cottage cheese in lasagna is a holdover from some regions in Italy where it is much more like ricotta. But yea, never use that slimy junk in its place. I've made both and the process is very similar.

I started eating cottage cheese when I moved to Europe because it is light, creamy, and delicious. So one year when I was back in the US visiting I bought some. It was sour, slimy, and disgusting. I have no clue why it is so different and I was wondering if anyone here knows how it is made...

Wife is 12 weeks with our first. If all goes well I will be joining this thread soon. Excuse me while I go back to reading parenting books.

I might not be explaining myself very well. I am not trying to play semantics, my point is that they don't actually know what they are trying to make. If they knew what they were trying to make then all the time and money would have been directed towards a goal and we'd see it. They aren't...

That is what they say, but it isn't true. They aren't aiming for anything like what an actual space simulator would be, they are very much just making a game and then justifying their terrible design decisions with "but its a simulation!". Kerbal Space Program is a space game simulator, or at...

I know this sounds silly, but what you described isn't a game. This is where terrible designers and amateurs always go wrong. It was clear from the beginning, based on what Roberts and everyone he hired said, that they hadn't the first clue about how to design a game. A list of context-less...

The steel works great, much better than a stone or pan. It won't quite get you a Neapolitan but it will work as well as anything your home oven can manage. If you don't want to bother getting your hands on the right piece of steel you can just buy one, which may not be that much more expensive...

I check once in a while and so far it seems very disappointing. I haven't played it, so someone else might know more, but it seems to me rather than add to and expand on what made SN good, they've gone in a different direction. Instead the game is physically smaller, has many more talking...

Don't you have to do it after? If you did it before I imagine it would become a wet mess.

I have pots all the way from 4 liters to 15 liters, so I don't think that will be a problem. Thank you for the advice.

I have a programmable kettle as well and everything is in liters here already anyway. Honestly, I was just planning on using a normal pot and some cling wrap with a towel wrapped around it. For the amount of sous vide I am likely to do that seems like it would work just fine for a while.

I plan on going with the Anova Nano Precision, it has less power compared to pretty much all of the other ones but it is the smallest and cheapest while seeming like it will still get the job done just fine.
