Thanks for all the fine work, dudes
This is your hourly reminder that being born into a family that owns an emerald mine doesn't automatically make you a fucking genius
Children of Memory by Adrian Tchaikovsky. It's been a while since I read anything of his and I'm loving it.
Ceasefire is a Russian victory, Russia can fuck off home at any time if they want to appease the African Union
I dunno it’s pretty decent right?
It kinda feels like I’m being chased offline
America, you are teetering on the edge
I haven’t found Lemmy confusing to use at all. And I found that to be a big surprise. I expected more hurdles to have to jump to get started like Mastodon.
The one big issue so far has been the lag, upvotes not being sent, comments/communities not loading, etc. But the reasons for that are pretty understandable in my opinion.

Variegated Tigar Jalapeño plant

The plant itself is tiny compared to my other jalapenos but it’s loaded with flowers. I can’t wait to see what the fruits look like!
When Minecraft was still fresh, there were times when the landscape was absolutely jaw dropping.

Second attempt at sourdough
(i.imgur.com)
This is my second attempt at sourdough, a hybrid starter/commercial yeast Pan de Campagne from FWSY. My first attempt tragically failed prior to baking as the dough straight up defied gravity by refusing to release itself from the proofing basket and got absolutely butchered when I tried to give it some assistance. It never made it to the oven.
For this second loaf, my big mistake was not having baking paper to hand and needing to directly handle a boule that just did not want to be held, hence the growth on the side. I also forgot to spray the boule with water prior to putting the lid on the Dutch oven, and I believe this is partly why the oven spring is underwhelming. Nevertheless I’m happy with it for what it is - it smells fantastic and there’s some blistering on there. If it’s no good for sandwiches I might whip up some garlic butter and make some fresh garlic bread. And if there’s any left maybe I’ll do some croutons to slam in a pasta salad!

Speaking of CRPGs, I just played Baldur’s Gate 1 for the first time, funnily enough. It was a great game which is not exactly a controversial opinion but I wasn’t expecting it to be so fucking funny also. It was very very very hard though.
I also downloaded DOS2 but it felt like I needed a breather after BG so I’ll get to it when I can commit some time to it.
