That looks like mortar

Seriously these Quentin Tarantino defenders

Bologna is pronounced more like “boh-loh-nya” in italian

Damn, I guess this is what 21st century censorship looks like

Well the models were trained on bacteriophages, so it’s pretty much impossible that the viruses could be human pathogens, still scary af though lol

I’d say find a local tea shop and get small amounts of a couple different types. The tea that makes it to western markets is usually pretty low quality, black teas are the most likely to be decent. There isn’t gonna be a huge quality difference between brands either. If you want really good stuff, you gotta order online from specialized sellers, usually from asia.

Also, ditch the tea ball thingy and get a steeping basket or steep straight in the pot, the leaves don’t have room to expand in there and you don’t get good flavour.

I can try to recommend something more specific based on which flavours you like the most (earthy, woody, chocolate, malty, fruity, floral, vegetal, grassy, nutty etc.)

git push origin main doesn’t have the same ring to it as git push origin master

I think this is more of a cultural thing. When I went to a public pool in Iceland we were literally required to shower fully naked (there were no stalls), and some guy actually came to tell us to strip when we tried to ignore the signs lol. I believe it’s the same in Japanese onsens, they even bathe naked there. I think kids will survive changing their shirt and pants in front of others…

I mean some people are just assholes, that transcends gender lmao

GUanCIaLE!!! 🤌🤌🤌

Any organic material will combust at 3300C given enough time

Reality: when water is cooled below 0 °C, it freezes… sometimes

Dead/living

My windows install started bluescreening a couple days ago and won’t boot, might be this exact issue lmao, anyways, I got linux and neither the energy nor time to deal with microsoft’s bullshit, I’m tempted to wipe that garbage off my disk for good

Looks like Fomitopsis betulina to me, probably started fruiting when the tree had already fallen

Hmm, yeah, I didn’t know yeast messes up autolysis. I add everything in the evening and put it in the fridge, maybe it still works since the yeast takes a while to get going in the fridge. I also use cold water instead of lukewarm to slow it down even more, the goal is a slow fermentation overnight to get flavour and develop the gluten, while making sure the yeast still has enough “energy” for a rise in the morning. I guess you could also let the flour and water sit for a while before adding the yeast and salt and putting it in the fridge to make sure it really autolyses.

For high hydration, using high protein flour and letting the dough sit for a while before trying to work it really helps in my experience. Also, wetting your hands before touching the dough, but I imagine you’re already doing that.

Might just be that more poolish = more flavour, as far as I’m aware poolish is only used by bakeries because they don’t have enough fridge space to ferment all the dough overnight. Baking at home, you usually don’t have that limitation. What I do is make the dough in the evening, and put it straight in the fridge, in the morning, I’ll take it out, and since it’s had time to autolyse, it’s usually very workable. Then I’ll do a couple folds over a few hours (keeping it at room temp) and throw it in the oven.

Another thing I noticed: If you usually use the same recipe as this, but without one of the poolishes, the hydration comes out to 72%, but adding another poolish will raise the hydration to 80% because the poolish is wetter than your base dough. Maybe you’re noticing the difference in hydration? I find that higher hydration usually yields bigger bubbles, a softer interior and a crispier crust.

I imagine In a Silent Way would be incredible in a crime drama, for example over a murder scene, with all the other sound cut out and just that playing (more like “foreground music”, if that’s a thing)

o4-mini (the reasoning model) is interesting to me, it’s like if you took GPT-4 and stripped away all of those pleasantries, even more so than with GPT-5, it will give you the facts straight up, and it’s pretty damn precise. I threw some molecular biology problems at it and some other mini models, and while those all failed, o4-mini didn’t really make any mistakes.
