Vinny Marchi has the most beautiful voice. His range is terrifying, and his technique is flawless.

Just wanted to say that I love you guys and this wonderful place.
Because I doubled the cake, I also doubled the filling and frosting.
The amount of frosting exceeded my Kitchenaid mixer capacity, so I had to tag in my spouse for stirring duties. I think he did an excellent job.
1lb of unsalted butter.
32oz of cream cheese.
Juice and zest of one large lemon.
3tsp lemon extract.
Some yellow food coloring.
13 cups of powdered sugar.
🤣
Why only sort of following?
Well....
I have 9 inch cake pans, but the recipe calls for 8 inch. I also initially used a 13.25oz cake mix, but the recipe calls for 15.25oz.
Did I notice before I put the batter in the pans? No. No I did not.
So I doubled it. I grabbed another set of ingredients and whipped up another batch of batter and added it to the first.
So it looks like the cake is going to be a bit taller than expected. 😆
So I decided to bake a cake for Spring. ....it's been an adventure so far. I haven't ever made a layered cake, and the last time I properly frosted a cake was about 20 years ago (I usually either pipe some on and call it a day, or pour on icing).
Here's the recipe I'm sort of following:

This is absolutely fascinating. Benn Jordan does a deep dive and sound engineer investigation into the "hum".

I'm leaning towards scenario 2. It's easier to get someone up to fuckery into the White House than in SecDef's security orbit.
It'll be interesting to see who is fired or resigns in the coming days.
Two possibilities:
1. Someone at the Pentagon wanted to exploit a disconnect between SecDef and POTUS during a timed crisis...
-or-
2. Someone in the SecDef/Pentagon security apparatus was concerned that someone in the White House staff would exploit SecDef being down.
