What's your favorite low effort stoner snack?

Gardein Plant-based ground b'ef are my go-to. I pretty much always keep these in my freezer to throw into the odd dish or for tacos or chili or whatever.

🤚 Don't. Even.

You are not even remotely the first to try to pull this scam here.

With that many details, your story must be true 🙄

I too have struggles. Can you find it in your heart to share some of your scampaign funds with a fellow struggling human?

But seriously, shame on you for pulling this scam. People like you make me wish I believed in God so that I could take comfort in knowing one day you'll burn for eternity in Hell.

FOSS Android File Manager with SSH?

Yeah, for sure. I tend to use WebDAV with that to connect to my Nextcloud more than the actual Nextcloud app. Works great.

How does fascism happen?

That kind of puts the scene where Rick keeps reanimating in different universes in a new light. Forget the episode, but he keeps coming out of his lab in a different universe and they're all fascist hellholes. He's like "Is this, like, the default setting or something?"

Assuming you mean SSH for file transfer? Material Files supports SFTP, and I use it to connect via SSH to my machines to transfer files.

My bread machine officially paid for itself today

Costs about 17 cents per loaf in electricity, and my power rate is pretty high at $0.25/kWh.

Blend: 7 minutes @ 100W (0.1 KW x 0.12 hours = 0.012 kWh). I'm being generous here since this is just an intermittent blend and the motor pulses slowly and doesn't use 100 watts for the whole cycle).
Rest: 1 minute @ 0W
Mix: 25 minutes @ 100 W (0.1 KW X 0.42 hours = 0.042 kWh)
Proof 1: 58 minutes @ 50W (0.05 X 0.97 hours = 0.05 kWh)
Proof 2: 50 minutes @ 50W (0.05 x 0.83 hours = 0.04 kWh)
Bake: 50 minutes @ 650 W (0.65 x 0.83 hours = 0.54 kWh)
Keep Warm: I never use this, but up to an hour at probably 100 watts. (0.1 KW x 1 hour = 0.1 kWh)

Total: 0.684 kWh x $0.25/kWh = $0.17 per loaf ($0.20 per loaf if I use the keep warm feature for the full hour).

For comparison, the regular oven is 4400 watts and takes 10 minutes just to pre-heat. That's $0.18 cents in electricity cost before I even bake the bread.

Nice. I haven't had much luck thrifting the last few years.

Totally agree about single use appliances, but the bread machine is the sole exception. Figured it wouldn't get more than a few uses, so bought a cheap one to start with. Turns out I use it daily.

I used to use the Kitchen-Aid with the dough hook. Mostly just the convenience factor won out. Just pouring everything into one pan and hitting a button was the big sell. Plus, it's got a timer so I can load it up before bed and have fresh bread in the morning.

Also switched to using a kitchen scale instead of measuring cups, and combined, that has massively reduced the amount of dishes and mess I have to clean.

I"m not sure what the actual bulk price is here, but the little 5lb bags are like $2.60. When I say "buy in bulk" I mostly mean I buy a lot of something when it goes on sale. Back in March, there was a weekend where you got 15% off your entire purchase on top of whatever was normally on sale. Flour was buy-one, get-one at the time, so I basically filled up a cart lol. I'm still baking through it and have about 15 bags left. 😆

Sounds like a Buddy Space Cop show, and I would watch the crap out of it.

Literally this one: https://a.co/d/gBi4XKq

Wasn't sure if it was gonna be something I'd use a lot, so I just bought an inexpensive "starter" one. If/when it dies, I'll probably get a fancier one.

I do 1.5 lb loaves. I also buy in bulk when things are on sale. All 50 loaves were made with just what's in the pantry (which is why my estimated price-per-loaf is just a guess).

But the main thing is homemade bread just tastes better. Even if it costs more in ingredients, it's still worth it

I think the fastest I've got it going is like 90 seconds.

Most of the ingredients are measured in tablespoons. I use a scale and just pour the flour into a bowl, add the dry ingredients on top, and throw it in pan.
