I’m not sure what your intent was, but you’re coming off as “I don’t want online spaces to be welcoming to people who are visually impaired.”

Once again, girls are somehow responsible for boys’ inability to behave 🤦

[RECIPE] Butter Panneer Pizza (lemmy.ca)
 

I don’t have a super definitive recipe as I kind of winged this. Really good though!

  • 1-2 batches of whatever pizza crust recipe you use (I just used my regular bread recipe, added extra water, and did a pouliche the night before)

  • Paneer, cut into squares (marinated overnight in garlic, ginger, oil, lemon juice, and butter chicken sauce)

  • Store bought butter chicken sauce

  • Peas (I just cooked frozen peas in the microwave)

  • cheddar cheese, shredded

  • melted butter (about a Tbsp)

Preheat the oven to 475F, put your pizza stones inside it to heat up.

Rollout your dough on a silicone baking mat, and spread on the sauce. Top with paneer and peas, and cover with a generous coating of cheese. Brush the edge of the crust down with melted butter. Transfer to the oven, lowering temperature to 450F. Bake for 10 minutes, then broil on high until crust achieves your desired level of blackened (about 2 minutes for me).

Let cool as long as you can stand it, and enjoy!

“Of course, there was that time that mum forgot me. I didn’t mind at first, but then it got dark, and I got scared. I started crying. It only took me a half hour to remember that she couldn’t hear me. Then I felt the air running out. I pressed my face against the smooth base of the dome, trying to find one of the spots where a crack between the floorboards let the air in, but it was dark, and still, and I couldn’t feel the breeze. My head grew heavy, and I pounded against the glass. Finally, my dad got home, and kicked me out so that he could have his ‘special video’ time in peace.”

I would tend to agree that it’s likely an aspect of the reasoning for the double circle; a visual pun. I don’t know enough to dispute the Wikipedia article with evidence, however.

If that is the reasoning, I wish they would’ve done something less ambiguous, like -/c or over-lined 100.

Um actually…

Latin: per centum

Italian per cento

Abbreviated to p. cento

Then just pc with a loop for the o in cento

Then the fraction bar came around to sub for per, the c became a circle, and % was born.

(Most of this after the adoption of Arabic numerals)
