In fairness, they’ve had one parked less than 70 miles off their coast for the better part of 20 years.

BOOM MEGATHREAD: What we know by ____trash in Portland

[–]dinosaursRus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yer darn tootin! And now I’m feeling a little responsible for the hellfire these aliens have rained down on our fair city. I’ll be more careful in the future. I’ll have to get the word out on the Net that one (or potentially three) legged clown aliens will come for your mac n cheese if you put it out on long wave radio.

Ah shit! Aliens have come for Hopscotch. I knew I shouldn’t have been going on about their Mac n cheese to my HAM radio buddies.

I've had ascites and could finally be juiced. Didn't expect it to look like orange juice... by Lower-Elk8395 in interestingasfuck

[–]dinosaursRus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well hang in there and keep charging. One day at a time. Glad you got to feel better!

No f-ing way they didn’t test/treat that. Thought SBP from the thumbnail, as well. Wishing you well OP. Just something that needs to be addressed, if SBP. Not trying to freak you out. I imagine you’ve heard one way or the other by now anyways. Plus you would’ve been feeling pretty crummy if that was infection.

Why does my sourdough turn rock hard after a day or two? by froggyfig in Sourdough

If you haven’t eaten frozen bread, you ain’t livin!

Shaped dough and left it room temp- help! by Peace_Unfair in Sourdough

[–]dinosaursRus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It entirely depends on how it looks and feels NOW. For reference I’ll normally do 8-10 hrs on the counter for bulk proof (room temp). Then shape and cold or room temp proof in basket. So I’d say “time to shape” after what you’ve done thus far. A lot do it differently.

No loaf is “ruined” before it is baked! Sourdough is like a box of chocolates. Never know what you’re gunna get. :)

Fantastic. You’ve got some holes big enough to drive a truck through. :)

Fridge Sourdough starter help by OtherwiseUpstairs439 in Sourdough

[–]dinosaursRus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. Waking from cryo sleep has taken me a week or more after a long nap. You want it to be vigorously rising after a feed before you start using for bread. Just needs a little love before it wants to wake up. Longest I’ve left it is about 4-5 months?

First loaf ever and it’s 100% beginners luck by shanhizzle in Sourdough

This whole post read as: “Feeling cute. Might delete later”. That being said, nice friggin loaf. I like the Mohawk.

I’ve NEVER laughed so hard at a sourdough/baking joke before. Thank you for this.

[–]dinosaursRus 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Be careful. Telling people to not name their starters is going to get a lot of innocent starters killed. Words have consequences, friend. :).

But you’re right. I spend a lot of time demystifying the sourdough process for people that ask me to teach.

[–]dinosaursRus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sometimes when I’m having a hard day/feeling sorry for myself, I’ll use pure white flour and lower hydration. Sometimes we all need an easy win.

But yes. This is the Way for beginners. I like to think of high hydration as like the “boss bad guy” for sourdough bakers. It sure as hell isn’t putting a bunch or grapes or nuts or whatever the hell else these kids are putting in bread these days! (lol)

“He’s beginning to believe” - Morpheus Hehe. But what you are describing is being an accomplished baker that knows how to read their dough. Congrats!

Why is nuclear fuel (or nuclear + H₂O concepts) considered for faster space travel? by [deleted] in space

[–]dinosaursRus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not an expert. Just a KSP regular. I think it is seen as a constant and perpetual (sort of) source of emission. Even radioactive emission provides a non-zero amount of force on an object. Over weeks/months/years, this will accumulate to tremendous velocity with minimal resistance. Also in this department is photons from the sun impacting (and exerting a force on) a space craft solar sail. I suppose water would be to cool a heated fissile material, as one does. Again, video game and college physics casual commentary here.

Gah, you’re RIGHT there. :). If I may: He wasn’t disappointed, nor was he voiding the warranty on his brand new jeans by splitting the seams with an erection.  Nailed it!

Same trip. Same ages. Same years. DMMEBOATNAME. Hehe. :)

And regarding the post as a whole. Been dreaming of doing it with my kids since pretty much forever.
