> I don't know what they put into pizza "dough" but it's not real flour. This is a weird claim. Wheat is so incredibly cheap in the developed world; why would you bother with a sub…

Do you find this finding surprising? I do not.

This sounds like a great idea. Can you share more details about the story? Did she finally get a job?

The best analogy I have heard about height and men: Height is a proxy for strength, and that is why it is so advantageous in economics, politics, and dating. I fully expect serious…

Is this company owned by either Chris Young or Kenji Lopez-Alt? A few times I have seen them using this product and promoting it. I am curious if a bunch of influencer chefs decide…

Time of India is such a shit news source that it should be banned from HN. The ToI article is dated: 2026-08-01 In the article it says: > According to Forbes India, in 2003, Helio …

Hat tip for the additional source. I have no love for people in this fight looking for a "total win/defeat". It is a dumb way to approach large construction projects. Can you share…
