This is your hourly reminder that being born into a family that owns an emerald mine doesn't automatically make you a fucking genius
Ceasefire is a Russian victory, Russia can fuck off home at any time if they want to appease the African Union
Yeah he’s hilarious
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.
Web 2.0 was a house of cards all this time I suppose

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!
Remember when everyone thought elon was smart

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!

Morning dudes
I’m very happy to see a casualUK replacement for the suddenly redditless. I literally signed up to Lemmy about 10 minutes ago so I’m still feeling this thing out!
I’m looking forward to arguing about crisps with you all 🙃
