Not a big surprise. The people who do the voting not only hold grudges, but when they die, have them stuffed and mounted.

I was just channel surfing and hit upon some news program. Somewhere up north, during the blizzard, this Domino's guy delivers a pizza. And all this is captured on the doorbell camera.
He brings the pizza to the door, and hands the guy the receipt. The guy signs the receipt, and the delivery guy snatches it out of his hand and turns around and walks off. Tells the man that ordered the pizza YOU HAVE TO COME GET IT.
The man, puzzled, yells at him - I have to come out to your car to get it?
The Domino's guy replies, YOU HAVE TO COME TO THE STORE TO GET IT. I'M NOT DELIVERING NO DAMN PIZZA IN THIS WEATHER WITHOUT A TIP!
And he gets back in his car and drives off.
I'm thinking well, even if it's just one pizza that's about 20 bucks. So basically that Domino's delivery driver just stole $20 from that homeowner.
Suppose he can have him arrested?
Call the store, tell them about it. That will probably get him fired.
Call your credit card company, get the charges reversed.

Both rises were timed per recipe. Oven was set to 400 degrees, same. Oddly enough, I checked my mother's cookbook and the very same recipe was in there.
So perhaps the oven stated temp isn't the actual temp?
Treat the rise time in the book as an estimate, not a hard and fast number.
Your oven thermostat may be off. Common on home oven.
I just now read that receipt What's odd is that it's similar to what I do, but I bake a 350 and don't have that problem. So now I'm stumped.

It looks like it collapsed.
My guess is your second rise was too long or your oven wasn’t quite hot enough.

Wow, that was a blast from the past - I attended medical school back in the Soviet Union in the 80s - we had to learn this song as part of our Latin class. It pairs very well with undiluted rectified ethanol - our drink of choice in those times! (Store-bought vodka was scarce and expensive, but we could always get some ethanol from the prosperous individuals working in the hospitals we attended!)
Well, it was a drinking song. Then Brahms cleaned it up and made it respectable.

I have a feeling this will never get out of committee
I suspect that the authors know that. I've seen it here in California. The antis use the committees to critique the bill. Then rework it. Do it again and again until they get something that will pass.
A few years later invent a "loophole" and then add to the law.

A Receipt for a Cheap Soup for Six Persons
Published for the Use of the Private Soldiers and their Families, encamped on Cox-Heath, near Maidstone, 1778.
TAKE half a pound of beef, mutton, or pork, and cut it into small pieces, and three spoonfuls of split peas; then take three quarts and one pint of water, and put it into a pot or saucepan, and put in the meat that is cut in pieces and the peas, and let them boil; then put in three turnips, three Jerusalem artichokes, three potatoes, one onion, and some celery, that have been all cut in small pieces; boil them over a very slow fire for three hours, then thicken the soup with half a pint of oatmeal, or half a pound of flour, or ground rice, and let it boil half an hour after the thickening is put in, stirring it half the time; then season it with pepper and salt to the taste.
Pounded ginger and all-spice may be used occasionally in the seasoning; also thyme, chives, onions, garlic, rocambole**, savory, and almost any sort of garden stuff or pot-herbs, provided they are cut small, for they will dissolve in the soup while it is stewing; and if the bones are chopped small and boiled in the soup, it will much improve it; and thus by varying the above ingredients, a number of cheap soups may be made, that will not cost more than a penny for each person for a good meal.
N.B. The chief Art in preparing these cheap Foods, is to cut the Ingredients small, and stew them a considerable Time over a flow fire, and thus almoft all Sorts of Meat and Garden-stuff will dissolve, and when properly seasoned, be a very wholesome and pleasant food, and will sqerve very well at the Tables of the Rich, as well as the Poor.
========================
Bringing that into today's money, that six pennies would be about $1.50. Can't do it for that now. But you could probably make it for around $10.
**Rocambole is a gourmet hardneck garlic (Allium sativum var. ophioscorodon) or the related sand leek (Allium scorodoprasum) known for its complex, intense flavor. Valued by chefs for its rich, earthy taste, it is often consumed raw or used to enhance sauces. It is characterized by its twisted scapes and papery skins.

And PCE-851 was the USS Rockville, a "Patrol Craft Escort Rescue"

This image captures a dramatic moment on April 16, 1945, in the waters around Okinawa, when the United States Navy destroyer USS Laffey (DD-724) faced one of the most brutal battles in the history of modern naval warfare. Taken from the escort carrier USS PCE-851, the photograph shows Laffey, heavily damaged, yet holding on to Radar Picket Station No. 1—the most vulnerable outpost that served as an early warning line against Japanese air attacks.
In a remarkably short time, the ship was subjected to a coordinated barrage of kamikaze attacks. At least five suicide planes struck the ship directly, followed by two aerial bombs, and dozens of shells and explosions fell all around her. The barrage of attacks reduced the ship's decks and superstructure to charred rubble—the bridge was ripped off, armor plates were ripped off, and blast scars were visible throughout the ship.
Despite the destruction, casualties, and widespread fires, USS Laffey did not surrender. The ship's crew maintained remarkable discipline and courage, battling the fires while controlling structural damage that threatened the ship's survival. Meanwhile, anti-aircraft guns continued to fire, providing a last-ditch effort to protect the ship and the surrounding Allied fleet. The USS Laffey's resilience in this battle made her a symbol of the tenacity and courage of sailors during one of the most brutal phases of the Pacific War.

C, E-flat, and G go into a bar. The bartender says, "Sorry, but we don't serve minors." So E-flat leaves, and C and G have an open fifth between them. After a few drinks, the fifth is diminished, and G is out flat. F comes in and tries to augment the situation, but is not sharp enough. D comes in and heads for the bathroom, saying, "Excuse me; I'll just be a second." Then A comes in, but the bartender is not convinced that this relative of C is not a minor. Then the bartender notices B-flat hiding at the end of the bar and says, "Get out! You're the seventh minor I've found in this bar tonight." E-flat comes back the next night in a three-piece suit with nicely shined shoes. The bartender says, "You're looking sharp tonight. Come on in, this could be a major development." Sure enough, E-flat soon takes off his suit and everything else, and is au natural. Eventually C sobers up and realizes in horror that he's under a rest. C is brought to trial, found guilty of contributing to the diminution of a minor, and is sentenced to 10 years of D.S. without Coda at an upscale correctional facility.

It's Almost Friday Humor Thread
in SASS Wire Saloon
Posted
Sorry...sort of.
I couldn't remember where I had seen that pair of images. Checked this thread for a few pages...nope. Scanned through the Memes thread and missed them. "AH! I must have seen them on FB!" I said to myself. So...here they are.
About half an hour ago I was going through the Memes and saw them. Time stamp before I posted them here. I was going to ask the mods to remove them.
But then I saw your post!
Seems that they worked! Not the way I had intended, but they worked!
