good to know I break barriers.....
@pluralistic PSA: The IRS actually has a program called VITA where they provide grants and training for volunteer tax preparers to assist folks making under $60k in filing their taxes for free. As long as you meet the income requirements, they can handle some pretty complex tax situations. It's been a few years since I volunteered, but I recall one year when the organizer sent us a summary showing how many millions of dollars of tax refunds we had processed that otherwise would have gone through these predatory companies. It was a good feeling.

Sophisticated to me is an establishment that is confident enough to not provide menus.

if you're on #qoto , you'll see a lot of both sides of the fence. We don't wall-garden by default here. Accurate scientific studies requires not to cherry-pick data.
I will not pursue the politics further here, but if there are complaints against our server/users- I can try to assist and/or redirect from there.

the original recipe I found online suggested to use the microwave for 1 minute- i found better results with 3; it's 700W
the ratio of flour --> water is 2:1, so you can focus on that instead if that helps.
coincidentially, for boiling rice- its also a 2:1 ratio, but more water instead(so 1:2 instead of 2:1)
@admitsWrongIfProven
I read somewhere that adding baking powder(not soda) can help substitute 'self-rising flour'.
I'm being sparse with yeast as I have less of that than all else. I've tried it with both yeast, powder, and combo.
