Ingredients 2 cups bread flour1 cup white whole wheat flour2 1/2 teaspoon instant dry yeast1 tbsp instant coffee2 tbsp butter (softened) or vegetable shortening1/2 cup sugar1/2 cup cocoa powder1 tbsp molasses1 cup warm water1 egg whiteDirectionsCombine bread flour, whole wheat flour, yeast, instant coffee, sugar, and cocoa powder in bowl until well mixed.Mix in butter, water, and molasses until dough forms. (Note: I just stick the dry ingredients into food processor, add wet ingredients on top, and run until 30 seconds after dough ball forms on blade.)Knead for 10 minutes. Let rise in covered bowl for 1-2 hours, until dough doesn't bounce back from pressing finger 1/2 inch into dough ball.Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease bread pans. Separate dough into two halves. Press into bread pan, uniformly spreading to cover bottom. Brush top with egg white. Optionally top with sprinkle of granulated sugar.Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 190 F.It's about 1100-1200 calories/loaf. I get 12 slices. They're not very tall, maybe 1.5-2 inches. I adopted the recipe from a similarly named chocolate coffee bread from a recipe book for a bread machine. My bread machine broke but I loved the bread. I think mine is better, but what do I know.

My breakfast came out perfect this morning. I have turkey bacon, eggs, hot cocoa, toast, and (usually) a slice of homemade chocolate-coffee bread. Decided to make some potatoes this morning, too. Sauteed some potatoes with cinnamon and then roasted them for 10 minutes at 500 degrees. Sometimes I overcook the eggs, or the yolk breaks. Sometimes I don't remember to adjust the toaster and burn the toast a bit. Sometimes the bacon is too crispy. But not today. It was a really good way to start the day.

Wow of all the articles I've read about Trump and his supporters this one takes the cake: http://www.npr.org/2017/03/30/521779563/rural-trump-voters-embrace-the-sacrifices-that-come-with-support You make $5,000 a month. You spend $1000 on rent, $500 on utilities, $300 on transportation, $300 on food, $200 on entertainment, and $4000 on sticky notes. It doesn't make any [bleep]ing sense to cut your grocery bill to make ends meet. That's not where you're wasting money.

Cold sucks because it makes riding a bike or motorcycle miserable. Wind chill is a [bleep].

TOR ALL THE THINGS. I already use Tor for a lot of things. I'll just use it more. Why not use VirtualBox and run Ubuntu or something in a VM? Would be a bunch easier. If I need to compile Windows stuff I just use bhyve (FreeBSD hypervisor) and fire up a Windows VM rather than screw around with cross compiling. If you have Windows 10, there's the Linux Subsystem for Windows. You could also build a gcc cross compiler with any MinGW distro, but that's probably a lot of headache on Windows.

Alright, will do.

I'm retarded. It's worse because i don't browse TIF on my phone, I use the desktop.

I don't understand what you wrote. I've never understood there to be a connection between what games someone likes and their logic abilities, but what do I know? Aside: I've only played an hour or two of Breath of the Wild so I don't have an opinion.

I made the best chocolate chip cookies I've ever made yesterday. I browned the butter prior and used white sugar + extra molasses instead of brown sugar. They are so chewy, it's amazing! Sending a dozen to my sister for her birthday, gave half a dozen away to others. Only have about 6 to ourselves. :(

Well snacks/meals then.

I made peanut butter blonde brownies a week ago. They came out really good. Replaced half of the sugar with sucralose (aka Splenda) to reduce calories by nearly 1/3rd (or was it 1/4th?). Tried making whole wheat brownies today (also replacing half the sugar with sucralose). Half white whole wheat flour, half all purpose flour. They came out good, too. Very rich flavor, better texture, but a tiny bit drier than usual. Gonna add more water next time, or maybe a tiny bit of milk. Also did an experiment. The one serving of the blonde brownie with 1/2 cup of milk filled me up for 1.5 hours. Took ~10 minutes to feel satiated. Didn't get a chance to test the whole wheat brownie yet. Gonna run similar experiments with other meals tomorrow.

Got the Nintendo Switch. To decide who plays first, my brother and me had a rock-paper-scissors, and we did the same motions 3x in a row, so we decided to toss a coin. He won. RIP.

Ensuring a safe environment is a duty of the school, especially when we consider students live on campus. I don't see a problem with a student being expelled for assault. The only problem is when victims are pressured to stay silent, or when expulsion is permanent despite innocence. The former is against Department of Education guidelines and the latter is immoral and unfair.

I think it's more of a case of potential effectiveness. Like, I wouldn't expect the school to have dealt with my burglary last year, because the police and justice system were more able to effectively find and punish the perpetrator. But I don't expect the police to deal with plagiarism because the academic institution has systems in place to punish plagiarists that are more effective and capable than the police could possibly implement. I can see the argument, then, that the judicial system is more capable of dealing with assault, since it's not a problem which occurs primarily in academia, the way plagiarism is. Except burglary, in your example, is a crime in which the supposed perpetrator is not known in advance (or so I gathered). In the plagiarism case, the suspect is known. In rape accusations (true or false), the suspect is known. Would your school have done nothing if you had evidence another student burgled you? And was the thief a student? Again, it's not like this must be an either-or situation. The school can deal with problematic students and so can the justice system. Also, I was mistaken and the school would inform the copyright holders, not authorities, since it's a civil matter.

Honest question: plagiarism is illegal (violation of copyright, possibly fraud, and others). Surely you don't believe schools should rescind themselves from punishing plagiarism? Or should they turn it over to authorities and wait on their judgment? There are valid criticisms against school punishment systems (e.g., false accusations of rape resulting in expulsion without recourse despite innocence; and genuine cases of rape being suppressed in order to protect guilty parties). But the argument that X is illegal, so it should be delegated to authorities is not one of them. In unrelated news, I've bicycled 650 miles since October. More impressively, it's been almost entirely in my neighborhood. Average of 13.6 miles per hour overall, 14.5 miles per hour this year, and 15.6 miles per hour in February. Pretty good, I think.

Since Gallery is dead... I'll say it first: "I'm 14 and this is deep." It's based off this. I literally laughed out loud.

But who fires the nuke when russia and the us are friends. China? Pakistan? India? Israel? North Korea? There's plenty of countries with nuclear weapons that, if dragged into some WWIII situation, could be the nuclear aggressors. And Trump may be buddies with Putin (in the sense of Stockholm Syndrome [this is a jest]), but Russia is by no means friends with European countries like France or the United Kingdom. France and the UK also possess nuclear weapons. If some extremist party manages to take power who hates Russia during a time of unprecedented Russia meddling in sovereign nations nearby (e.g., physical invasion/occupation by Russian forces, such as Crimea/Ukraine)... It was just a joke, anyway.

The preparations for 100 years come to a screeching halt when, in a strange turn of events, NATO is dissolved and Russia invades. Donald Trump calls Estonia a sad loser country and claims Putin is a great guy. World War III erupts a year later. Nuclear winter follows within a month.

It's 71 F (22 C) here in my area of North Carolina.

I made a poor man's GPU pass through this weekend while I was sick. I send OpenGL commands over a TCP connection. I only support the base commands necessary to run RuneScape NXT. I really don't want to use switch to Linux when I want to play RuneScape for a few minutes a day, so I spent 20+ hours creating a solution. So efficient!

Per the Trump dossier: "Rosneft President was so keen to lift personal and corporate western sanctions imposed on the company, that he offered Page/Trump's associates brokerage of up to 19% (privatized) stake in Rosneft in return." At this point, the dossier had been floating around for months until Buzzfeed published it. November 7: Russia signs decree to sell 19.5 percent Rosneft stake. January 18: VTB boss says Rosneft sale 'paid for by foreign firms'. 19.5% of Rosfnet was sold. The recipients of the deal are unknown. January 31: U.S. lawmakers move to scrap SEC's 'resource extraction' rule. "Two senior U.S. lawmakers unveiled legislative plans on Monday to scrap a rule devised under the 2010 Dodd-Frank financial reform law requiring publicly-traded mining, oil and gas companies to disclose payments they make to foreign governments." And so it begins: U.S. makes limited exceptions to sanctions on Russian spy agency. Either the biggest coincidence in recent history, or something very foul is happening. Let's hope it's just a technical fix, as McCain says. (Rex Tillerson is for lifting sanctions against Russia. See 1:30:00 and 1:55:00. He is now our Secretary of State.)

Well the last week I've maintained 150 lbs. Done losing weight. Was going to go down to 145, but I think that's a bit too much at 5 ft 8 in. This is the best before I have. About 250 lbs: [hide][/hide] And after: [hide] [/hide] (Even puppers deserve privacy.)

What does that have to do with flat tax being regressive on the poor? Nothing, that's what.

You've got to be really out of it to think a flat tax is fair. Flat tax hurts the poor. It's paired with sales tax (or equivalent) to compensate for the lack of government profit from income tax alone. The poor spend more of their income. Ergo, they pay more in sales tax. They have less income as a result. So Bob pays 20% (Estonia's rate I think) in income, plus whatever VAT is. That's a much higher effective tax rate than 20%. For example, if they make $30,000 and spend $15,000, with a 20% VAT + 20% income tax, they're paying $9,000 in taxes, which is a 30% tax rate. The rich's income comes from capital gains, among other things. In other words, money makes money. They rarely spend their money, and thus don't pay a proportionate portion in sales tax. A rich person makes $2 million and spends $500,000. Their effective tax rate is 25%. edit: I'll use actual figures: https://www.bls.gov/cex/csxann11.pdf (See page 9. I truncate to the nearest thousands.) Assuming a 20% income tax rate and a 20% VAT rate, those making between $30,000 and $40,000 would spend $11000 on average in taxes. (Let's assume housing isn't taxable). That's a 33% tax rate when compared against the average income of $34,000. Assuming the same for the '$70,000' or more block, the average income is $130,000. They spend $37,000 on average in taxes, for an effective rate of 28%. It only gets worse the higher the income. The rich don't spend money equal to their income. The burden falls onto those who do.

A flat tax is regressive on the poor and progressive for the rich.
