110-120 F. I also have hard water in my area and I've successfully made yeast doughs. I recommend "blooming" your yeast first even if you're using instant yeast, which just means mixing your yeast, a bit of sugar (like a tsp per 1 packet of yeast) and the water together and letting it sit for about 10 minutes.

Does this. Does this actually harm the stuffed animals? Some mattresses and pillows are sold vacuum-packed but they fluff up after a bit.

I mean. This is framed as humor but a lot of people genuinely think this way. Derogatory terms for women aside, if you're not happy by yourself you're not going to be happy with a partner. Unfortunately this is the sort of thing you need to understand on your own and internalize because the kneejerk reaction to someone telling you this tends to be "having a girlfriend/boyfriend/partner actually would make me happier"

What an alarming number of people fail to realize: everything is politics. This apparent separation is purposeful and is one of many tools that the wealthiest 1% use to keep the rest of us divided and distracted.

Both will straight up murder a person.

I have a relative who has been on medicaid on and off who "doesn't pay attention to politics". I frequently explain current events to them- like efforts to cut medicaid that may cause them to lose their coverage.

The obliviousness (or complacency, in many cases) of some people is unbelievable.
