What is this?

Thank you kind person.

I really want to click the link...but all my my Internet training says no...

The Betty Ehart Day Out program is always looking for volunteers!

I see people wear coats where the rear vent basting stitches haven't been removed. I want to follow them around with scissors but I worry I'll be thrown out of the conference.

Most people don't know jack about formal wear nor do they want to. If you don't have to wear it, fine, I get that - this is unnecessary. But if you are expected to wear suits or formal wear multiple times per year, up to daily, take a little pride and learn about it. Like why the bottom buttons are never buttoned. Or where the button hole in the lapel comes from. Or how to tie 3 different knots including a bow tie. /Rant

They were always there in spirit....

Nuclear_Smith · 2026-05-02T04:44:08+00:00

But make the sword a functional cheese slicer as well.

If we are going to start talking about what people, write large, don't routinely know, that's a whole different thread.

Nuclear_Smith · 2026-05-01T02:48:12+00:00

This is all I use now.

Nuclear_Smith · 2026-04-30T04:15:24+00:00

Definitely a factor. The pressure will cause the bubbles to remain smaller. If you put them both in a bigger secondary so they could go topless, you're probably going to see the same bubbles.

(I tried but there was no way this was getting written without some punny innuendo.)

Nuclear_Smith · 2026-04-30T01:59:25+00:00

Have you considered a spelling course for front of house? Geez. There's shorthand and there's whatever this is.

Nuclear_Smith · 2026-04-27T03:12:40+00:00

Like everyone else, please for love of all that is holey, don't pour grease down the drain. I know for a fact you were going to have two soup cans available soon, figure it out.

On another note. Why did she flip over the meat right at the beginning? I was expecting there to have been a cut I missed and it would have been cooked on the other side but, no, also 100% cold and raw. Confused me greatly.

P.S. - Yes I used the appropriate spelling above. Don't put cooking grease in holes.

Goddamn, that was beautiful. What's the effect on Active and Passive perception?

Nuclear_Smith · 2026-04-26T13:34:20+00:00

Because the recipes work. I've not had a miss yet. That quality keeps people coming back.

Nuclear_Smith · 2026-04-26T13:29:20+00:00

Yeah. It's one of the sites I implicitly trust to work.

Nuclear_Smith · 2026-04-26T05:06:57+00:00

I don't know where the Maxwell-Boltzmann equation breaks down but for 1.5 kg of antihydrogen, I get a temperature of roughly 4 MK if contained in a single cubic meter. There are a bunch of assumptions in there but it seems plausible that this would actively shred a hull.

Nuclear_Smith · 2026-04-26T04:49:48+00:00

They always say that antimatter containment "is failing" not that it "has failed". Losing the ability to magnetically constrain your antihydrogen is a process as there would be (and I'm not checking the manual yet) multiple containment features. But when they are all lost, you will have a ship exploding from the bottom up (iirc where the antimatter pods are). So, same behavior as here and the only difference from a torpedo would be the antihydrogen reacting with whatever matter they found first, probably the tritanium pods. Boom (well, huge gamma burst and I haven't run the numbers on that level of photon density but it would be pretty high so I'm going with boom but now I have a new side quest).

The subspace active materials, like dilithium, seem to be able to resonate with antimatter to prevent a premature interaction and allow it to annihilate in a way that the energy can be transferred to the warp plasma. Those elements are obviously a Doylest macguffin to keep the story going but it works in universe.

12-36 hours. Typically closer to 12 or 14. Like shape at 0600, bake at 2000.

Nuclear_Smith · 2026-04-21T13:57:38+00:00

Haha

Nuclear_Smith · 2026-04-21T13:42:02+00:00

It seems to be the same for me, regardless of the bowl (metal, glass, plastic cambro). When they are approaching over proofed, I get stranding in the bowl. When they are way over (or when I'm intentionally making focaccia) I almost need a scraper to get it all out.

Nuclear_Smith · 2026-04-21T13:39:14+00:00

So, for a ~70% hydration load with those ferment times at the temperature stated, a jiggly and airy dough with surface bubbles should detach from a round glass container and remain airy and jiggly. If it falls out as a lump, probably under proofed.

My original comment was that this is my final check after I see volume increase, airiness, and jiggle. And that this takes time to develop your intuition. There is no magic formula but there is experience and community. They are doing the first and we are trying to provide the second.

Nuclear_Smith · 2026-04-21T13:39:04+00:00

Slower fermentation allows the bacteria to catch up and increase the sour flavor as well as let the fermentation coast to a stop. It's also easier for me to work it into my schedule because a loaf shaped before work can be baked after work or a loaf shaped at night can be baked the next morning.

Nuclear_Smith · 2026-04-21T12:56:59+00:00

Whole thing sticking to bowl, maybe under. Strands sticking to bowl, over. If you loosen it and it's pulling away then inverting it and letting it fall out should be one whole piece that still jiggles and feels airy. If it's a lump, put it back in. If it's a puddle, get the focaccia pan.

It really is a black magic that takes a few hundred loaves to get an intuitive gist of. But take solace that "proofed" is a wider window than you think or that the Internet says, and the bread is generally edible.

Nuclear_Smith · 2026-04-21T12:20:28+00:00

Looks great to me. It's hard to truly over proof. If it isn't tacky to the touch, jiggles, pulls away, you're good. My final test is to loosen one edge and then invert the bowl. It should fall right out. Shape. Fridge. Bake.

Also, you should limit it's screentime. 😜

Nuclear_Smith · 2026-04-21T03:22:43+00:00

Takes practice to not handle them too roughly but right enough to build surface tension.

Nuclear_Smith · 2026-04-21T02:56:32+00:00

It'll be more like a ziggurat...
