  • Cast Iron Pizza

    Jump

  • Surprisingly thin, I'll compare next time.

    I'd always used half the dough recipe per pizza, so couldn't get them that thin until now.

  • Dough recipe is here:

    https://www.gimmesomeoven.com/no-knead-bread/

    One pizza uses a third of the dough.

    I added 1 tablespoon diastatic malt powder, two tablespoons olive oil, garlic, and Italian seasoning to the dough.

    Plenty of olive oil in the pan so that the crust will fry well.

    On the dough, red pepper flakes, italian seasoning, parmesan, then generic jarred pizza sauce, mozz, pepperoni, and finally cheddar.

    Baked at 550F for 15 minutes.

    It may be the best pizza I've ever had, certainly the best I've made.

    Be careful tearing down a system, you might need to live through the results of your actions.

  • Yeah, anything that has you speaking in game jargon in public should qualify.

    One of my friends at a pizza place a few years ago: "I can't believe I didn't get to poison anyone last night."

    Me: "Dude, context! We are in public!"

  • What old technology are you surprised is still in use today?

    Jump

  • Fax machines!

    They were invented long before the computer or modem, with the original patent being issued in 1843.

    They seem wildly outdated, but the ability to replicate the signature (iirc) led to faxes being accepted as legal documents.

    This speaks more to the underlying usefulness in earlier eras, but it's still wild to make a phone call that leads to a printed document.

    Does it matter if MAGA would proudly buy them?

  • A peacock's tail is a flourish, something that adds to the whole without detracting.

    A cocktail combines spirits with other flavors to make them something else.

    I don't really drink cocktails, but thr antiquated term makes sense in a particular context.

    Now looking it up, apparently the origin of the term isn't actually known and my interpretation isn't even in the running, but I'm saving this anyway because it's amusing.

  • What’s a TV series or movie that has perfectly resonated with you, for whatever reason?

  • I'll have to give that a watch. Dinklage is always a joy to watch.

  • What are your favorite games that you never see mentioned anywhere?

    Jump

  • That's it!

    I'd forgotten it was a match 3.

    So imagine you have two of the same color side by side with no gaps.

    You have the same color on the bottom of your current piece.

    You could slam that piece into the matching ones, hoping that they would bounce up and allow all three to match in a row.

    It was the one linux game I had that most friends would ask to play when they came over.

  • An old game that never really took off, Orbz.

    I was one of the best players in the world while it lasted.

    Simple little game, you're a ball and you throw yourself at stars. The more you hit in a row without missing, the better your combo and score.

    Essentially pong, but you play the ball, and it's on a landscape rather than somewhere you fall off and die.

    I made a few levels for it.

    Another was Triptych, which my friends and I called jelly tetris. Imagine tetris but the bits are springy and bounce a bit. It was a blast. Both were commercial games available on Linux at the time, early 2000s.

  • Yeah, I was never on Compuserve, just aware of it's history.

  • 1990, through a local dialup university system that had security issues.

    Within a few years after that we had home dialup internet.

    In 1998, cable modems came to town. My neighborhood was the beta test area, so I had friends in my living room playing Everquest almost daily.

  • It was an old dial-up multi user system that charged monthly fees. Once the internet became popular, Compuserve connected, but they predate the commercial home internet.
