Sourdough bread tends to be more.. concentrated. It's nothing like the soft wonderbread like crap people eat. Traditional Polish rye bread is a bit soury for example - it's got a far less fluffy inside and a crunchy and blackened outside, smothered in flour. Awesome

What's the sourness like?

What's the sourness like?

lactic acid, though not as strong as milk that starts to turn sour.

Why do I find video game music to be better than the music my generation listens to, i.e. love songs and "gangsta swag"?

Instrumental scores are amazing, that's why. Seriously.

I keep hearing about how sourdough is awesome. What's the taste like? Is the texture different?

Sourdough bread is very good indeed. But I wouldn't say it's remarkably very different from ordinary, good, bread.

You can make it yourself quite easily. To get a sourdough starter: ferment some flour in some water for a few days (stirring every day), using baking yeast, or you can do it with the natural yeasts floating in the air. You get a nice sour smell coming from it within a couple of days.

Once you've got one batch going, it's your unique brand. Different from everyone else's.

Yeast is an amazing animal.

It compliments deli meats nicely. Not so great for toasting, in my experience.

You're probably not listening to a diverse enough range of modern music!

Colossal parachute post here, I'm afraid.

Looking at the number one song on the charts right now, it sounds like modern music is encouraging our youth to be thriiiiifty!

Oh god this is so awful.

I quite like it - never having heard it before. It's very bouncy.

(I don't think I want to hear it again, mind.)

Where are these boys from? Mullingar, Bradford, Wolverhampton, Holmes Chapel, Doncaster.

Yep. I know what this band is like, alright. Not that I'm prejudging in any way. Oh no. (One of them is half Pakistani - now, there's multiculturalism for you.)

Nah, I like One Direction. I was referring, unfortunately, to this:

I love it!

Nice motor. Quirky video. Anti-consumerist message.

What's not to like?

Where can I find a notary that will fill out a notary attestation form for an I-9?

 

[hobbsyoyo]

Banks have notary public's.

Phonebook or online might have a local listing. If not, call around to car dealers. Many long time people in the car sale business became notaries because they needed one a number of times. And they'll do it on the side for a small fee.

Does anyone know (roughly) how much it costs to have movers pack up your stuff and move it a mile across town and unpack it? 2 bedrooms, pretty much chalk full of stuff.

Because music is very subjective and video game music tends to tickle your fancy more than any other genre?

I personally adore rap and the blues, but I know for a fact that's not everybody's cup of tea.

The worst thing you can do is write off a genre of music without listening to it or make a comment like "music these days is just nowhere near as good as that in the olden times."

Movers? Depends on how long it takes. You can probably get a uHaul truck for $25 a day, and depending on the amount of movers, probably $100-200. You might be able to try Craigslist instead to find a helper. They usually do it cheaper.

I do know one thing, if it costs a few bucks more to essentially stand in the house with the mover, map in hand and simply say "Get all this stuff to this address, and I'm not doing a thing mate" and make that your sole contribution, it will be some of the best money you'll ever spend.

Well, as longs as the price range is a couple hundred and not a couple grand, this is exactly what I plan on doing:
