Bread recipe 🥺🔪

Sourdough bread recipe I use (makes one loaf)

ingredience:

240mL/1 cup of sourdough starter (how-to will be in a reblog after this)

125mL/½ cup of milk

28g/2 Tbsp. of butter

25g/2 Tbsp. of granulated sugar

6g/1 tsp. of salt

6g/1 tsp. of baking soda/sodium bicarbonate

as much flour is needed (I usually need 3-4 cups/360-480g)

5g/1½ tsp. of yeast (optional but it significantly speeds up the rising)

recip��:

dissolve baking soda and yeast (if used) in a small amount of warm water (warm to the touch but not so hot that it hurts. yeast will be killed by water that is too hot but if it's not hot enough they won't come out of hibernation)

scald the milk (small bubbles around the edge)

remove milk from heat and stir in sugar, butter, and salt

add sourdough starter to milk mixture

mix both liquid mixtures in a large bowl

add flour and any other additions (like herbs or cheese. I don't have any amounts for those, I just eyeball it since I've done enough baking)

knead thoroughly (heavily flour your workplace and hands, this is a very sticky dough)

let rise until doubled (with yeast this will take around an hour in an oven that is set to "proof". I usually wash the bowl that things were mixed in and then oil it before putting the dough back in to rise, and I cover it with a damp towel. not sure if the towel does anything but I've always done it that way)

once the dough has doubled in size, punch it down and shape into a loaf. place in a greased loaf pan or greased pan of other shape

let rise again for maybe half an hour (with yeast) (I've never measured how long I let it rise the second time, and I don't have a size comparison either)

score the top of your loaf (optional but it may crack if not scored)

bake at 400°F/205°C for about 30 minutes, depending on how deep your loaf is (if it's thinner, bake for a shorter amount of time)

let cool for a few minutes before taking your bread out of its pan, then let it cool the rest of the way on a wire cooling rack so the bottom doesn't get soggy

eat your bread! and troubleshoot for the next batch. was it baked for too long? not long enough? I can also answer bread troubleshooting questions if given a picture of the bread in question :)

For most of the past 15 years, my interactions with young Chinese in their late teens and 20s have obeyed a familiar pattern. Having grown up in an age when their country seemed impervious to major economic setbacks, they easily shrugged off each new wave of Western assessments that China’s political and economic model—like all models—faced serious vulnerabilities.

They had heard and rejected the idea that China’s political system was inherently inferior to Western-style democracy. The evidence to the contrary seemed largely sufficient to their eyes as the United States and other high-income countries fell victim to the 2008-09 global financial crisis while China sailed forward almost placidly by comparison. The “democracy is superior” argument took another big hit in their minds during the Trump administration, when U.S. politics was dominated by one poorly informed but powerful man’s impulsiveness. Wasn’t that supposed to be a key flaw of dictatorships?

They had dismissed the widespread notion that China’s relatively closed authoritarian system would prevent the country from innovating fast enough. Yes, it was true that China had blocked most of the trailblazing U.S. companies of the early internet age, including Google, Facebook, Twitter, and many others. But hadn’t China come up with its own terrific domestic alternatives? Look at WeChat, young Chinese began telling me from the moment of that homegrown app’s birth. On “our” platform, they observed, one can seamlessly do everything that it takes a whole host of U.S. apps to accomplish. Has anyone in the West created something so brilliantly capable?

And if one thinks this is a matter of ancient history, which is what the early app era is when talking about the history of the internet, what about electrical vehicles and the batteries that make them run? China has gotten so good so fast at developing sleek, well-functioning, and competitively priced cars in this space that it even has the Germans trembling, as seen at this week’s industry show in what is probably the West’s premium car-producing country. Or look at the U.S. attempt to stifle Huawei, China’s biggest cellphone-maker. Although prevented from using U.S. technology for 5G components, China has, using homegrown technology, just rolled out a high-end smartphone model that is capable of 5G-like data connectivity speeds and which throws in satellite connection capability as a bonus.

Young Chinese have also heard that the country’s poor environment would bottleneck their growth or drive an uprising by the middle class. Not so long ago, the air in big cities such as Beijing and Shanghai was frightfully polluted, drawing justified comparisons to the London of Charles Dickens. If one had to endure this much pollution in order to sustain further decades of fast economic growth, didn’t that call into question more than just the seeming disregard of the country’s leaders for the people’s well-being? What, in other words, is the purpose of growth if one’s child can’t play outside because it’s dangerous to breathe?

Well, something remarkable happened here, too. While traveling in China for much of the past summer, I discovered the air in many of the country’s biggest cities to be so vastly improved that a newcomer would have a hard time imagining the recent long era of “airpocalypses,” as the immovable domes of impenetrable smog encasing urban environments were called.

Though I have never believed that China had somehow repealed basic economic laws, which suggest that every great boom era must come to an end, I have always found a lot to admire in the great many young Chinese I have gotten to know over the last 15 years or so. Substantial numbers among them have been students in my own classes in the United States and elsewhere. And one of the qualities that has consistently struck me most among them is what I like to call civilizational confidence.

It is true that the Chinese state, through tightly controlled education and unstinting propaganda, works hard to instill this attitude, but there is something more at play here than just top-down manipulation. I suspect part of it comes from being part of such a large country with great historic depth and many, many cultural and scientific achievements to its name. Part of it, too, seems to be about resilience. Even if not during their lifetimes, young Chinese know that their country has been down before but has always sprung back impressively. All of this has bred self-belief.

But all of this also makes the impressions I received during my recent weeks of travel in China feel even more remarkable. What I heard over many conversations with young people was not a response to the perennial cycles of doomcasting about China that one finds in the Western press and in much publishing about the country. In fact, most of these people were not terribly well-informed about the current state of Western discourse about their country at all. What they were, however, was filled with their own doubts about the future, which they readily vented.

Some of the contours of this were unsurprising. After all, this was the summer that Beijing decided to suppress the publication of youth unemployment data, presumably because of how grim the numbers have become—in June, youth unemployment hit a record 21.3 percent. In conversation after conversation, my young interlocutors spoke with deep trepidation about their economic prospects in the near and even longer term.

It wasn’t the topic itself that surprised me so much as the swiftness and power of the shift in sentiment. At almost all times during this century, it has been an article of faith in the country that education, and especially higher education, would be rewarded with sharply rising incomes, secure entry into the middle class or better, and a version of the sentiment common in the United States during the boom decades that followed World War II: that it was the birthright of each new generation to be much better off than the one that preceded it.

If the problem of youth unemployment in a China whose economy may be set for long-term deceleration has been widely commented on, some of the profound problems that stem from this generally have not. A graphic representation of the number of new college graduates in the country over the last four-plus decades looks like the upward curve of a roller coaster track. Here we find the kind of problem that is an unintended consequence of what has always seemed like a very sensible proposition: Educating people equates to creating new waves of prosperity. In its current funk, though—and perhaps on a longer-term basis, due to deep contradictions in the country’s economic model—China can no longer find enough gainful employment for its huge numbers of newly educated people.

If you’re between the ages of, say, 17 and 28 or so—which was the case for almost everyone I spoke with—this is deeply discouraging and even scary, as so many people didn’t hesitate to tell me. “We are competing with each other in what has become a pure rat race,” a college freshman, whose name I am withholding for their security, told me in Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan province. “Everybody is trying to push their education as far as they can, but we are competing for fewer and fewer jobs. As a result of supply and demand, lots of people are going to earn less, and lots of others will just have to accept low-grade jobs.”

But this was only the beginning of the new pessimism I was encountering.

For years when I taught in my graduate school classrooms in New York about the coming aging crunch in China—a time projected for the near future when the ratio of older adults to the young and working-age populations would rapidly flip in favor of the former—I drew a knowing look from many of my Chinese students. After all, it is a problem I have been writing about for many years already. “Here we go again,” the stares I received from some of my Chinese students seemed to say. “Professor French has given in to the doomsaying industry about our country, but we know better.”

This summer, though, I didn’t have to ask about aging. It was on everybody’s lips, not least the young people. I suspect that’s in part because the state quite belatedly has itself become alarmed. The Chinese government avoids shocking language about the stark nature of a demographic crisis of unprecedented scale, but the ability to read between the lines of official messaging to see the underlying urgency of this challenge is almost child’s play, especially for the dwindling numbers of young adults in the country who only recently were children themselves.

The country’s media are now filled with prompts for young people to get married earlier and have more children. Chinese President Xi Jinping has traditionally been loath to use social welfare spending or direct cash benefits to citizens to reduce China’s addiction to investment and stimulate the economy. But that is exactly what Beijing is rolling out in response to the alarming decline in birth rates. Suddenly, one city or province after another is introducing monetary inducements to women or couples to have more children.

The young people who will in theory be the source of the children of the future increasingly say they are discouraged by the costs of housing and of raising children. And as most of them belong to one-child families themselves, they also speak in fear of the financial burdens that await them when their parents grow old and infirm and need taking care of. Compared with most wealthy Western countries, the Chinese state’s social welfare provisions for retirement, health, and elder care remain bare-bones.

In response to this, not only are young people putting off marriage until later, but increasing numbers of young Chinese are also forgoing it altogether, with some even dropping out of dating. Young women, meanwhile, have been big beneficiaries of the enormous boom in higher education in the country, and with more and more advanced learning among them, growing numbers of them have been privileging their own career development and—“Why not?” some said to me—their personal fulfillment.

In my conversations in China this summer, I never once inquired about feminism, but one after another, young women freely identified with it themselves. Then came this comment from a 19-year-old in Shanghai, whose name I am also withholding for her safety. “Maybe you’ll think this is too dark, but I definitely don’t,” she said. “It seems like we are on track for a situation where the state tries to force women to have children, like take us away to a camp or something. It worries me a lot.”

During China’s long boom years, not succumbing to the skepticism and naysaying of others seemed like a real source of strength for the society, even a virtue. We are in a new era now, though, and one of the biggest tests will be something the country’s leaders are altogether unaccustomed to: how well the system can hear and respond to the growing concerns and doubts of its own citizens.

Effective Tips for Saving Money on Electronics

Discover innovative and fun ways to save money on electronics with our expert tips. From savvy shopping to understanding tech specs, learn how to maximize your budget and electrify your savings! 1. The Art of Waiting: Patience Pays Off When it comes to buying electronics, patience is not just a virtue; it's a money-saving superpower. Impulse buying might feel satisfying in the moment, but waiting can often lead to better deals and savings. First, let's talk about timing. Many retailers have annual sales, and knowing when these occur can save you a bundle. For instance, major sales events like Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and January sales are prime times to find discounts. Mark your calendars and prepare to pounce when the time is right. Additionally, consider the product lifecycle. When a new model is announced, the previous version often receives a significant price cut. Waiting for this can mean getting technology that's only slightly older but significantly cheaper. And let's be honest, do we really need the latest gadget when last year's model is perfectly capable of playing cat videos in 4K? 2. Set a Budget and Stick to It Before diving into the sea of electronics, it's crucial to set a budget. Think of it as your financial life jacket. Without it, you might find yourself drowning in unnecessary expenses. Start by identifying what you absolutely need versus what's merely nice to have. This helps narrow down options and keeps your spending in check. Remember, a shiny new gadget won't pay your bills, but sticking to a budget will prevent you from eating instant noodles for a month. Moreover, setting a budget isn't just about limiting spending—it's about maximizing value. By knowing your limits, you can focus on finding the best deal within your price range rather than getting sidetracked by flashy features you don't actually need. 3. Understand What You're Buying Knowledge is power, especially when it comes to electronics. Understanding the specs and features can prevent you from overpaying for things you don't need. Start by researching key features. What does RAM do? Why is the processor important? Knowing this helps you identify which specs are worth investing in and which are just fluff. For example, if you're not gaming or editing videos, do you really need that supercharged graphics card? Furthermore, read reviews and expert opinions. These can provide insights into a product's real-world performance and longevity, saving you from costly mistakes. Remember, just because it's expensive doesn't mean it's the best. 4. Embrace the Power of Refurbished Electronics Refurbished electronics are like the unsung heroes of the money-saving world. These are products that have been returned, repaired, and tested to ensure they're in tip-top shape. Firstly, refurbished items often come at a fraction of the cost of new ones. This makes them a fantastic option for those looking to save some cash. Plus, most reputable sellers offer warranties, so you're protected if anything goes wrong. It's a win-win! Secondly, buying refurbished is environmentally friendly. By choosing refurbished, you're helping reduce electronic waste, which is a growing concern worldwide. So, not only do you save money, but you also get to pat yourself on the back for being eco-conscious. 5. Trade-In and Trade Up Trade-in programs are a fantastic way to save money when buying new electronics. These programs allow you to exchange your old gadgets for a discount on a new purchase. Start by checking if the store you're buying from offers a trade-in program. Many do, and they accept a wide range of products. This is an excellent way to get some value back from gadgets you no longer use. Additionally, consider selling your old electronics online. Platforms like eBay or specialized electronics buyback sites can fetch you a good price, which can then be put towards your new purchase. It's like finding money under the couch cushions, but better. 6. Get Smart with Student Discounts If you're a student (or know one who is), you're in luck! Many retailers offer student discounts on electronics, which can lead to significant savings. First, check if the retailer you're buying from offers a student discount. This can often be found on their website or by asking in-store. Typically, you'll need to provide proof of student status, such as a student ID or university email address. Secondly, don't be afraid to ask if a discount isn't advertised. Sometimes, retailers offer unadvertised discounts, and all it takes is a friendly inquiry to unlock savings. Remember, the worst they can say is no, and there's no harm in asking. 7. Join Loyalty Programs and Subscribe to Newsletters Retailer loyalty programs and newsletters can be treasure troves of savings. By signing up, you often gain access to exclusive deals, early sale notifications, and sometimes even birthday discounts. Start by identifying your favorite electronics retailers and see if they offer a loyalty program. Many do, and membership is usually free. The points you earn can often be redeemed for discounts on future purchases. Additionally, subscribing to newsletters can alert you to sales and special promotions. While inbox clutter is a concern, creating a dedicated folder or email address for newsletters can keep things organized and ensure you never miss a deal. 8. Master the Art of Haggling Haggling might feel like an ancient art, but it's alive and well in the world of electronics. Negotiating a better price can often lead to savings you didn't think possible. Firstly, do your research. Knowing the market price of a product gives you leverage when negotiating. This information can be found by checking multiple online retailers or using price history tools. Secondly, approach negotiation with confidence. Be polite, but firm. You'd be surprised how often a simple "Is that the best you can do?" can lead to a discount. Remember, the worst they can say is no, so there's no harm in trying. 9. Bundle Up for Savings Bundle deals can be a great way to save money when purchasing electronics. By buying multiple items together, you often receive a discount on the total price. Look for bundle offers when shopping. These might include a laptop with a free case and mouse, or a phone with a discounted accessory pack. While not all bundles offer genuine savings, some can be a fantastic deal. Moreover, don't be afraid to ask about creating your own bundle. Sometimes, retailers are willing to offer a discount on multiple items purchased together, even if they're not advertised as a bundle. It never hurts to ask! 10. Keep an Eye on Warranty and After-Sales Support While not directly a money-saving tip, understanding warranty and after-sales support can save you a lot of cash in the long run. First, ensure that the electronics you buy come with a warranty. This protects you against defects and issues that might arise, saving you from costly repairs or replacements. A solid warranty is worth its weight in gold. Secondly, consider the availability of after-sales support. Some brands offer excellent customer service, while others can be frustrating to deal with. Reading reviews about a company's after-sales service can help you make an informed decision, ensuring you don't get stuck with a lemon. With these electrifying tips in your arsenal, you're ready to tackle the world of electronics shopping with a savvy mindset. Remember, the key to saving money is a mix of patience, research, and a little bit of humor. Happy shopping, and may your electronic adventures be both fun and frugal!

Top Features to Look for in Mobile Innovations

In today’s rapidly evolving tech landscape, choosing the perfect smartphone requires a best phone comparison to ensure you’re getting the best value. With countless brands releasing new models, finding the right device on a top phone review site is essential. From mobile phone specifications to real-world performance, consumers need to analyze various factors. Moreover, phones often have multiple names across markets, so knowing a device’s phone name variations can help you compare models accurately.

Whether you’re a power user, a casual consumer, or a photography enthusiast, let’s explore the top features that define the latest innovations in mobile technology.

Cutting-Edge Display Technology

The smartphone display is a crucial factor, as it affects everything from gaming to media consumption. Modern devices now feature AMOLED, OLED, or LTPO panels with 120Hz or even 144Hz refresh rates for ultra-smooth visuals. HDR10+ support enhances colors, making movies and games more immersive.

Key Considerations:

Higher refresh rates (120Hz+) for smoother scrolling and gaming.

OLED/AMOLED for deeper blacks and vibrant colors.

Peak brightness (above 1000 nits) for outdoor visibility.

Screen resolution (FHD+ vs QHD+) for sharper images.

Powerful Processors and Performance

A smartphone’s chipset determines its speed, efficiency, and multitasking capabilities. Flagship processors like the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, Apple A17 Pro, or MediaTek Dimensity 9300 lead the pack in raw power.

Performance Boosters:

Periscope and telephoto lenses for optical zoom.

AI-powered photography for better night mode and HDR.

8K or 4K cinematic recording with stabilization.

Battery Life and Fast Charging

A powerful phone is useless if it can’t last a full day. With 5000mAh batteries becoming the norm, fast-charging technologies are also evolving, offering 100W or even 150W charging speeds.

What to Look For:

At least 5000mAh battery for all-day use.

Fast wired charging (100W+) to go from 0-100% in minutes.

Wireless charging (50W+) for convenience.

Battery optimization software to extend longevity.

Advanced AI and Software Experience

AI has transformed how smartphones operate, from voice assistants to personalized UI experiences. Apple’s iOS 17, Samsung’s One UI, and Google’s Android 14 bring smarter widgets, AI photo editing, and real-time translation features.

AI Enhancements Include:

AI-generated wallpapers and UI customization.

Real-time transcription and call screening.

AI-assisted image and video editing.

Adaptive performance tuning for gaming.

Durability and Build Quality

Smartphones now focus on premium build materials like ceramic, titanium, and Gorilla Glass Victus 2 to enhance durability. Foldable designs like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 also showcase the industry’s move towards flexible displays.

Durability Factors to Consider:

IP68 water and dust resistance for extra protection.

Titanium or ceramic builds for better drop resistance.

Foldable screens with ultra-thin glass for flexibility.

Scratch-resistant coatings for longer-lasting displays.

On-device processing for AI and facial recognition.

Encrypted messaging apps for safer communication.

Multi-layered security in banking apps.

Private relay and VPN integration for browsing.

Effective Tips for Saving Money on Electronics

Discover innovative and fun ways to save money on electronics with our expert tips. From savvy shopping to understanding tech specs, learn how to maximize your budget and electrify your savings! 1. The Art of Waiting: Patience Pays Off When it comes to buying electronics, patience is not just a virtue; it's a money-saving superpower. Impulse buying might feel satisfying in the moment, but waiting can often lead to better deals and savings. First, let's talk about timing. Many retailers have annual sales, and knowing when these occur can save you a bundle. For instance, major sales events like Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and January sales are prime times to find discounts. Mark your calendars and prepare to pounce when the time is right. Additionally, consider the product lifecycle. When a new model is announced, the previous version often receives a significant price cut. Waiting for this can mean getting technology that's only slightly older but significantly cheaper. And let's be honest, do we really need the latest gadget when last year's model is perfectly capable of playing cat videos in 4K? 2. Set a Budget and Stick to It Before diving into the sea of electronics, it's crucial to set a budget. Think of it as your financial life jacket. Without it, you might find yourself drowning in unnecessary expenses. Start by identifying what you absolutely need versus what's merely nice to have. This helps narrow down options and keeps your spending in check. Remember, a shiny new gadget won't pay your bills, but sticking to a budget will prevent you from eating instant noodles for a month. Moreover, setting a budget isn't just about limiting spending—it's about maximizing value. By knowing your limits, you can focus on finding the best deal within your price range rather than getting sidetracked by flashy features you don't actually need. 3. Understand What You're Buying Knowledge is power, especially when it comes to electronics. Understanding the specs and features can prevent you from overpaying for things you don't need. Start by researching key features. What does RAM do? Why is the processor important? Knowing this helps you identify which specs are worth investing in and which are just fluff. For example, if you're not gaming or editing videos, do you really need that supercharged graphics card? Furthermore, read reviews and expert opinions. These can provide insights into a product's real-world performance and longevity, saving you from costly mistakes. Remember, just because it's expensive doesn't mean it's the best. 4. Embrace the Power of Refurbished Electronics Refurbished electronics are like the unsung heroes of the money-saving world. These are products that have been returned, repaired, and tested to ensure they're in tip-top shape. Firstly, refurbished items often come at a fraction of the cost of new ones. This makes them a fantastic option for those looking to save some cash. Plus, most reputable sellers offer warranties, so you're protected if anything goes wrong. It's a win-win! Secondly, buying refurbished is environmentally friendly. By choosing refurbished, you're helping reduce electronic waste, which is a growing concern worldwide. So, not only do you save money, but you also get to pat yourself on the back for being eco-conscious. 5. Trade-In and Trade Up Trade-in programs are a fantastic way to save money when buying new electronics. These programs allow you to exchange your old gadgets for a discount on a new purchase. Start by checking if the store you're buying from offers a trade-in program. Many do, and they accept a wide range of products. This is an excellent way to get some value back from gadgets you no longer use. Additionally, consider selling your old electronics online. Platforms like eBay or specialized electronics buyback sites can fetch you a good price, which can then be put towards your new purchase. It's like finding money under the couch cushions, but better. 6. Get Smart with Student Discounts If you're a student (or know one who is), you're in luck! Many retailers offer student discounts on electronics, which can lead to significant savings. First, check if the retailer you're buying from offers a student discount. This can often be found on their website or by asking in-store. Typically, you'll need to provide proof of student status, such as a student ID or university email address. Secondly, don't be afraid to ask if a discount isn't advertised. Sometimes, retailers offer unadvertised discounts, and all it takes is a friendly inquiry to unlock savings. Remember, the worst they can say is no, and there's no harm in asking. 7. Join Loyalty Programs and Subscribe to Newsletters Retailer loyalty programs and newsletters can be treasure troves of savings. By signing up, you often gain access to exclusive deals, early sale notifications, and sometimes even birthday discounts. Start by identifying your favorite electronics retailers and see if they offer a loyalty program. Many do, and membership is usually free. The points you earn can often be redeemed for discounts on future purchases. Additionally, subscribing to newsletters can alert you to sales and special promotions. While inbox clutter is a concern, creating a dedicated folder or email address for newsletters can keep things organized and ensure you never miss a deal. 8. Master the Art of Haggling Haggling might feel like an ancient art, but it's alive and well in the world of electronics. Negotiating a better price can often lead to savings you didn't think possible. Firstly, do your research. Knowing the market price of a product gives you leverage when negotiating. This information can be found by checking multiple online retailers or using price history tools. Secondly, approach negotiation with confidence. Be polite, but firm. You'd be surprised how often a simple "Is that the best you can do?" can lead to a discount. Remember, the worst they can say is no, so there's no harm in trying. 9. Bundle Up for Savings Bundle deals can be a great way to save money when purchasing electronics. By buying multiple items together, you often receive a discount on the total price. Look for bundle offers when shopping. These might include a laptop with a free case and mouse, or a phone with a discounted accessory pack. While not all bundles offer genuine savings, some can be a fantastic deal. Moreover, don't be afraid to ask about creating your own bundle. Sometimes, retailers are willing to offer a discount on multiple items purchased together, even if they're not advertised as a bundle. It never hurts to ask! 10. Keep an Eye on Warranty and After-Sales Support While not directly a money-saving tip, understanding warranty and after-sales support can save you a lot of cash in the long run. First, ensure that the electronics you buy come with a warranty. This protects you against defects and issues that might arise, saving you from costly repairs or replacements. A solid warranty is worth its weight in gold. Secondly, consider the availability of after-sales support. Some brands offer excellent customer service, while others can be frustrating to deal with. Reading reviews about a company's after-sales service can help you make an informed decision, ensuring you don't get stuck with a lemon. With these electrifying tips in your arsenal, you're ready to tackle the world of electronics shopping with a savvy mindset. Remember, the key to saving money is a mix of patience, research, and a little bit of humor. Happy shopping, and may your electronic adventures be both fun and frugal!
