Nuclear & DCS engineer, general purpose nerd.

I’m not here to “engage in dialogue” or “have a conversation” and all opinions are not equal.

Leave Black women be or they’ll block us all. They owe us nothing.
Not even how wrong they get the discussion of the plant - which is super wrong.

They get everything procedurally wrong about how nuclear incident response works, how event reporting works, what the NRC’s role is, & who would get sent into the field to try to take emergency actions.

Are we sure that was actually from this year?

I have not bought a damn thing today either, except for some ingredients from a regional food coop (with cash).

I’ve spent my Black Friday canceling subscriptions & updating subs I want to keep with my protonmail account so I can get rid of my gmail accounts.

While we do need to be loud about what ICE & the current regime are doing, this is far from the first time that the US govt has targeted immigrants & non-white citizens with violence, unlawful arrest, abduction, concentration camps/detention facilities, & murder.

The only 1st is ⚪️ ppl impacted now.

DumblicanT Party. I’m not really about the middle school level insults, but if he’s going to name a party after himself 🤷🏻‍♀️

Last one for now. Music is definitely part of my mental health management.

Completely agree. Stand Back Up and Stay go with Already Gone for me.

Her cover of Sex on Fire (live only, as far as I know) is one of my go-to at the top of my lungs in the car songs.

I love I’m Moving On, I didn't know Kelly Clarkson had covered it. Mood matching (at least it is for me):

His name is Fermi since he’s an Italian Mastiff and I’m a nuke nerd.

I don’t have the clock app, but I’m quite good at following recipes if you know of a good frosting cookbook. That’s why the ganache success - my mom doesn’t make a ganache so I was following a detailed recipe.

I can RTFM & follow instructions like a champ.

Is the only additional frosting type I can think of offhand & I’m not that kind of woman. The fondant kind.

Is icing one of the other ones?
November 24, 2025 at 10:03 PM
& usually buttercream - if I have my way a mocha buttercream, but I have also fucked up cream cheese frosting. I think I have succeeded at a dark chocolate ganache, but even though it was what it was supposed to be, I just wanted it to be mocha buttercream.

Idk the diff buttercreams & fondant

detail. I haven’t tried other frosting recipes because my mom’s is so good. In retrospect, my approach has been dumb.

Answers to your questions in order:
-this could be one of my problems. I don’t know what the right temp is which means I haven't controlled this
-I do not know, nor do I know how I would know
-I don’t even know what this means 😆
-stand mixer.

My mom has the frosting knack, & her recipes lack

Ok, but why is frosting so hard? I can cook, I can bake, I can improvise, I can make substitutions that most people can’t detect.

I cannot for the life of me wing it on frosting. I’m frosting-challenged. Frosting impaired. Frosting developmentally delayed. Why. Why is frosting so hard. 😭
