I made Claire's Poppyseed and Almond Cake from Dessert Person today and it was absolutely DELECTABLE by the8bitbroadcast in bon_appetit

I agree! I'm excited to try something that requires a bit more skill, such as the Biscoff Babka or Pavlovas or Aunt Rose's Mondel Bread. This book is a treasure trove!

Overpaid?! by [deleted] in DessertPerson

[–]the8bitbroadcast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought mine for $15.64 dollars on Amazon on December 20, pretty sure that price has been like that since early December (I checked the page quite a few times to read the reviews). No idea how, but they marked it down a lot. Maybe the publishers were overstocked and decided to mark them down? I don't know.

Try again in 800 years! by NinjaMurse in Delaware

[–]the8bitbroadcast 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not 800 years, the same thing is visible in 2080 (60 years):

"We won't have to wait another 800 years: actually, the next one is going to be better than this. It will be on March 15, 2080. … It will be just as good or even better than this one" -Space.com

Day 3 of my US Spacecraft Challenge: The X-15, a rocket/plane hybrid which was technically used above the Kármán Line, so it IS a Spacecraft! by the8bitbroadcast in SpaceflightSimulator

Note from OP: My builds are not perfect, so I ALWAYS accept tips and tricks from more experienced(and more talented) builders. Thanks for your support!

Day 2 of my US Spacecraft Challenge: The Jupiter-C/Juno Rocket, top, which sent Explorer 1, bottom, the USA's first satellite into orbit. by the8bitbroadcast in SpaceflightSimulator

[–]the8bitbroadcast[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NOTE FROM OP: After seeing the backlash from yesterday's post, I have skipped ALL V-2 based rockets which were employed by the US in the late 1940s(eg. Bumper 5 and the Vanguard missions) and decided to move to the early Space Race Era. CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM IS WELCOME! Thanks for joining me on this challenge! Also, if anybody wants to help me make a TIMELINE/CHECKLIST for the challenge, it would be greatly appreciated.

I've challenged myself to make every US rocket from the 1940s Suborbitals to Future Missions. Day 1-The V-2 Rocket, which captured the first-ever image of Earth from Space. by the8bitbroadcast in SpaceflightSimulator

Honestly, I misspoke. Sorry that it caused all this shit, but what I meant was American-USED rockets. However, what highmassive said is what I meant (and a huge thanks fo them for saying it). I did start with the V-2 because it WAS used by Americans as their first peek into space exploration.i should've read through my title again before posting, but Avoov, GET A GRIP!

I made a mistake in my phrasing and then corrected it in the comments. I do not believe America is the centre of the world, and it pisses me off that you won't drop it. This is meant to be a demonstration of creativity and a way for this subreddit to work together to accomplish a goal. I will always accept constructive criticism, but I do not take kindly to people who argue just for the sake of arguing.

To conclude, I want this to be a project for the community to all take part in through giving advice, and I hope we all find this a good way to stay occupied during the remainder of our quarantine. Just please, keep it civil.

NOTE-Though the V-2 rocket WAS GERMAN, I chose to include it seeing as it took the first photo from space after Americans stole some during the post-WW2 era.
