I think the cheese added a bit too much moisture and it didn't rise completely, and also the paper kind of mushed the sides so it isn't round, but other than shape it came out perfect. Super soft, knife glides through like butter. We only had medium cheddar on hand so it has a bit of bite, but that makes it perfect for brekkie sandwiches.

Everything went perfect. I tasted it. I forgot the salt.

Next loaf I forgot to cover it while bulking so it got crusty and ugly but it's SOUR so I'm happy with it.

It's probably been about 2 years since I posted here. My wife started making sourdough and the first few turned out good, with the next 5 or so coming out as flat lumps and she kinda lost interest. We recently got a new starter from a friend and tried again, and with her busy schedule I've taken over as the breadmaker. Still feeling out the process but I've had good results with an extended bulk in the oven (light on). With the temperature coming down I'll even leave it in the oven between stretches. The pictured loaf in particular did not want to mix and was super hard to work, but the additional heat helped.

I don't know when I started doing this, but I'll just put my left hand/arm alongside my cat and kinda just scoop her and carry her around resting on my forearm. She tolerates it very well, and I'll even take her outside like this for the good sniffs.

See him almost every morning. He is very smol and fast.

Found an adorable pair. Baby is under mom in the first pic but I got one of them both escaping my gaze.

The toy and deranged look in her eyes capture her personality perfectly.

Giving bazzite a test run before deciding to jump ship from windows. Seems great so far but I'm currently hitting a wall. I'm trying to play Liftoff, which requires a drone controller to be plugged in. In order to grant usb privileges (serial port I think), I need to install BETAFPV configurator. That's a deb package so I set up a mint container in distrobox and installed, changed permissions, and exported it. When trying to launch in command line, it says libnss3.so doesn't exist. I downloaded a deb for that library and installed it on the mint container as well, but am still getting the same error.

About to try the windows installer with wine but if anyone can tell me why I'm dumb, that would be fantastic.

Hard to tell but I think there's 4 in there.

I have seriously slacked on reading for... Fuck knows how long. Read mistborn which was decent but the last time I seriously read before that was a few years ago when I started discworld but kinda fell away from it.

I read the inner cover of Carl in a book shop and instantly bought it. It's the perfect amount of unhinged to keep me interested. I tore through them all in about a month, just in time to pick up the 7th freshly printed.

I noticed the books have an interesting numbering system using skulls. The first book has 3, 2 of which are blacked out. The second has 1 of 3 blacked out, the third has none. The second three books have six skulls each, following the theme of black skulls not counting for the number of the book.

The seventh has 7 skulls. Were it to follow the same theme, there would be 9 with 2 black. I don't really have a followup or comment here, just thought it was weird.

That said, this comm is dead and I hope we can liven it up a bit because I've been dying to talk about Carl. I guess I'll share what I love about it in hopes people will follow suit. I live for the ridiculous Ai achievements and descriptions. I thought it was just a gag at first but the lore for it is actually holding up surprisingly well. Also the books can get rough at times, but they're never emotionally devastating like others can be (my girlfriend just picked up a book like she was walking to her own execution because she knew what was coming wasn't cheerful). The stakes are high but our protags usually come out more or less intact, and I love that. Sometimes you just wanna watch someone kick ass, not get emotionally dragged behind a car. Additionally, the message is more appropriate and pointed than I expected up front. Very pro throwing a wrench into the orphan crushing machine.

Hey, he asked.
