Gabriel Bonci-style al teglio pizza but with NYC toppings, 80% hydration with 10% whole wheat, baked in a Lloyd pan. These slice up perfectly as small or as large as you want. Itâs really supposed to have Parma ham and arugula and shit but I have a teenage daughter that ruled against

This is my first attempt at a Gabriele BoncĂ-style al taglio dough. It looks like a regular Sicilian or Grandma pie but the dough is much wetter at 80% and has 10% whole wheat. Itâs bubbly and very flavorful dough. Next bake will be better tho (in my mind it always is)

Well, as Pookleblinky often makes the case, these instruments now are cheap and good (pre-tariffs anyway). You can get them set up professionally at Guitar Center or wherever for a few extra bucks and youâll likely never have a problem with intonation for years after.
Cormacaroni, #1 Kneecap fan (@cormacaroni.bsky.social) reply parent
Itâs actually not that bad, as beginners only use the first 3 frets on each string or so for a long time. The intonation issues become more obvious when youâre up past the 12th fret and say, fret 13 should be the same note as fret 1, but itâs off.

The big takeaway for me is that theyâre genuinely happy at the idea that woke is dead but now they have no-one else to take the piss out of, so Trump it is. And the only thing Trump is doing wrong in their eyes is scolding people for comedy, but thatâs the only thing they actually care about, soâŠ

Jimmy is great for the Ws but that's also as short-term a project as there is in the NBA. If they're all-in for Jimmy, they would be even moreso for LeBron. 'cause - it's wild, but true - he will still be better for the next two years most likely.
Cormacaroni, #1 Kneecap fan (@cormacaroni.bsky.social) reply parent
the angle may just be pressuring the Lakers to do what he wants, rather than what Luka wants. Or at least to get more leverage than he has now. GS has serious interest in LeBron, and could do a clean swap for Jimmy's contract. The other big one is the Cavs.
