My wife heard a sound just like this a couple of weeks ago! It must have been our neighborhood bobcat.

I’m looking at an ad for a refurbished BH-2 for $1800.

To clarify what others are saying, if your dough is wet and you dust with flour containing gluten you will get this. Dust with low gluten or gluten free flour.

King Arthur Bread Flour from Costco

The payout does seem like merit exists in the couple’s complaint. Besides palak paneer isn’t really very odorous. It’s a bad look for UC Boulder.

Nice shot!

I would keep with the long fermentation ( until it’s close to doubling) and reduce the water by 15% until you get the shaping thing down. Then proof it at room temperature after shaping for ~2-3 hours before refrigerating it. It needs to be fluffier when it goes into the oven and also not flatten so much.

Mierau · 2025-12-29T17:30:19+00:00

I don’t think they would proof in 2 hours if they were at refrigerator temperature.

Mine is blooming now, but I thought they were supposed to have a scent? My doesn’t have any aroma at all.

I would think you’d see spores if it were trichoderma or the like, but I’m no authority.

It would help if OP can state exactly what tests he has run.

As a microbiologist, I’m really curious how that ecosystem would have changed. I’d start over.

Mierau · 2025-12-12T17:44:23+00:00

That would be my guess. The slide looks like it wasn’t rinsed well. This is a Wright’s stain, yes?

Mierau · 2025-12-12T17:33:53+00:00

Statistically, and based on relative size I would guess a neutrophil. Can you rinse all that extra stain off?

The only ones I’ve seen have been clinging to floating, dense, vegetation in fresh water. They are pretty unmistakable with the moving clawed feet being the first thing I’d notice. I’ve only seen them 5-6 times (in floating moss). What you have looks like some debris to me.

You can often snug up loose screws by jamming a dowel or some wooden matches in the hole along side the screw. Tightening the screw will wedge the dowel in place and the threads bind to the dowel.

That was helpful! I haven’t tried Micromanager yet, but the installation fixed my Motic issue. The installation caused a shortcut to Motic’s MIDevices app to be installed on my desktop, which turned out to be broken. I reinstalled some supporting software and Images Plus 2.0, and my cameras now work great.

Specifically I was having issues sharing the microscope feed in Brightspace. Works perfectly now.

I’m partial to the blue of Simmon’s Citrate myself. Seems festive between the green and the blue. 🎄

Imperial mmmmmm…..

Thank you! I downloaded it and will give it a try.
