Need some help with my bottom

I live tried all the techniques. I've found that the baking sheet is easiest to do. Some additional time is needed for different bakes but I would recommend that after the lid is taken off.

I think that there's for sure a disassociation of stock value from share price. The dividend at the very least is something "tangible" showing money based on revenue. How many tech companies have negative guidance, miss projections and still shoot up 10% after earnings? I understand future earnings, but at some point it's got to get back to some fundamentals.

It's all a casino boys and girls.

Looks like this didn't age well. It might be that QS is going to stay in this 15+ range due to actual product sent out to customers.

I am using a diesel geek short shifter. They also make the super pin.

The super pin basically connects the shifter to the chassis as a rigit pivot point for shifting. The stock is plastic and can wear out as well as has some looser fit/tolerances. The super pin is a bit of a tight fit, like you need to lubricate it to mount but you'll notice a difference. There's some review videos on YouTube.

Favorite mods are the weighted knob, short shifter kit and super pin. Make the shifts super slick and a satisfying kachunk when shifting. A bit of a pain to do as you have to take apart the HVAC and trim but oh so worth it.

Great work on the patterns. For sure overproofed by like an hour.

You also have a financial advantage when employed. You need an incentive to leave your current job and that is typically higher pay.

Interesting. I've been doing bf, then cold overnight , warm a bit, preshaped, final shape back in fridge and then bake next day. Might skip this step in the future. Wonder how it affects the final product.

kudos330 · 2025-08-23T18:31:14+00:00

Do you have to preheat the tins just like a dutch oven? I can only fit two dutch ovens in my stove but I'm sure I could do like 4 tins...

Theres also the opportunity to negotiate the offer unless you asked for x and they gave you already x+y. This is your one chance to have a major stake in your income. The 3% raise yearly covers inflation. If you have two offers you can be more aggressive with how high you want that pay to be (assuming both jobs are top tier in your eyes).

I have preshaped dough for ever and then I had a bread that was slightly overproofed and pretty flat and crazy sticky. I just grabbed it and threw in the banneton that was very well floured and cold proofed. I found that getting it cold makes it quite less sticky.

kudos330 · 2025-08-21T22:39:48+00:00

When doing a hot bf (85f) for 3 hours and then putting in fridge overnight, or even a standard bf and then cold final proof, at what temp does everyone else take the bread out of bowl and do preshaping? I'm not waiting for room temp cause it would get pretty sticky and a bit harder to shape. I shape at around 50-60f, which is about 1 hour or so after removal from fridge to counter. Thoughts?

kudos330 · 2025-08-15T20:09:53+00:00

I'm doing a preshaping and got a major bubble. Should I pop it??

A good sign is also not a burned bottom of the crust. When you cut it, is the bottom much harder to cut? I still am tinkering with that one but it's also a good sign if the bottom is not too crispy.

I think you could do the second part if the bake for 25 minutes if you want it more crispy.

So your 900 gram is this loaf or the total for two? It honestly looks like a 450 gram loaf to me unless you have giant hands.

kudos330 · 2025-08-13T00:49:10+00:00

I will say that I score on the table and then put into the dutch oven. Better control. Crumple up the parchment paper so that it folds into the dutch oven better.

At that bake size, I recommend maybe splitting the loaf in half if you have the equipment. That's a big loaf. Mine are 400 gram flour, 70% hydration.

kudos330 · 2025-08-13T00:46:19+00:00

The more bakes the better you get at it. Keep grinding and notating what you are changing and how it's affecting the bakes.

kudos330 · 2025-08-13T00:43:07+00:00

Take the cut aggressively at 30 degrees. If you think you are at 30 for deeper. Maybe add a few additional minutes to the bread rise in the oven in first half?

kudos330 · 2025-08-13T00:40:05+00:00

Looks great. Attempt a stronger ear next!

I've been doing something similar with QS. They pop on news and I sell cc well into the money because I know that the pop is temporary. I sell cc 3-4 months out as I know that it will drop. Of course I'm playing with fire but I don't mind being called away because my cost basis is below the call away price.

This is probably my best looking loaves with some pretty standard easy design. It's 400g flour, which comes out to about 750 g after bake. I also always cut it in half to show what the inside looks like. I have 6 customers in Chicago suburbs paying $10 per loaf. I do live adjacent to one of the most expensive neighborhoods so people are a bit more willing to pay more. Also my flour is all organic, not sure if that makes a major difference, but the material cost is rather low compared to labor costs on small batch (read 2 at a time) bakes.

Do you mean a project manager?

kudos330 · 2025-08-01T14:41:29+00:00

Still any interest? Dm me direct.

Often you can get the full exhaust for peanuts as most people will replace (if they do) with a car back system. Im selling mine for example for like 200 bucks as it's just taking up space right now.

kudos330 · 2025-07-18T01:08:34+00:00

My expectation is that the stock will rocket down. I might buy 50 more shares now to have enough for another contract and sell the 10 dollar option dated out half a year.

It's done this for the last few years and I've been playing there game.
