The empty chest cavity creates a void where blood and fluids can pool, leading to huge internal bleeding. The heart, which relies on the physical presence and pressure of the lungs to maintain its proper anatomical position, can flop around or collapse. Finally, circulating blood through complex machinery significantly increases the risk of stroke or clotting.

Using the recipe from seriouseats.com .

Mix equal mass egg, AP flour, and liquid. I used 6 eggs (242g) and Oatley full fat milk, the recipe is actually 3:1 milk:water for the liquid. And 2g / 1/2t salt (whoops, forgot the salt this time but still pretty tasty). Rest overnight.

Pour 2t oil in each well (I use a muffin tin since that's what I have). Preheat tin with oil in the oven until smoking. Pour about 1/4c batter into each well.

Cook 12-15m. (Below, at about 200F interior temperature / 4 minutes.)

Having fun with my Topdon IR camera.

I found a silhouette image, printed it out and glued it to a 2x6 scrap, cut it out on the bandsaw after breaking a jigsaw blade that was too small for the job, and then used a hand saw and chisel to separate the legs, narrow the face/tail, and add relief around the ears.

What you can't see is there's a hole drilled from mouth to butt. I drilled in from both ends, then cut the dog on half so I could drill the final connection (since the had to be a zig zag). Now nerds or large round sprinkles can go all the way through.

Mix 5 minutes on low: 2.5t / 9g active dry yeast 2t / 9g sugar 1c / 236g warm water 2T / 27g melted butter 256g AP flour 128g Bread flour (61% hydration) 1/8t salt

Proof about 1h in a warm place

Punch down, divide into 12. Roll to 18" lengths, form pretzels. Place on greased parchment paper on baking sheets. Rise 20 minutes. Preheat oven to 475F. Boil 8c water with 1/4c baking soda. Boil pretzels 30s each side, dry on rack, return to baking sheets. Brush with: 1 egg yolk mixed with 2t water And sprinkle with sea salt.

Bake 15 minutes.

These turned out pretty tasty. They're fairly delicate when boiling. The dough flavor is somewhat plain, though the soda, salt, and mustard bring plenty of flavor; I'd like to come back to these with sourdough.

It seems that the Northeast, specifically New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, is a bit of a hotspot for Verizon's network issues. Still, Boston, Washington DC, Florida, LA, and Phoenix are all on here as well.

I recently found out you can get foaming soap refills as tablets. I hadn't previously found a way to refill hand soap pump style dispensers without more plastic. These are from Meliora.

Finer cornmeal for less grittiness, slightly more even shaping. Only three out of the dozen left for tomorrow. (First attempt.)

Recipe from The Sourdough Baker:

Mix:

• 300g water
• 50g milk (I used Oatley)
• 30g oil
• 100g starter (about 100% hydration)
• 500g bread flour (so (300 + 50 + 50) / (500 + 50) = 73% hydration)
• 9g salt
  Ferment during the day, refrigerate overnight (or whatever schedule works for you). The original recipe has a fairly strict schedule of stretch-and-folds, I did one before refrigeration.
  Cut into 12 pieces.
  Use pinkies to draw towards you to form into balls.
  Dust both sides in fine cornmeal in a bowl, then set in greased rings on a lightly dusted baking sheet.
  Proof until 1.5x, a couple hours at 90F. (The original recipe proofs longer.)
  Cook on med-high heat (as for pancakes) on a griddle, 3 minutes per side.
  Bake 15 minutes at 350F (may need to run multiple timers so you can bake each batch as they come off the griddle).
  Cool 10-15 minutes, enjoy!

From a recipe on the NYT Cooking app. It uses a mix of shredded and flaked coconut which gives the end result a nice combination of absorption and texture. Many recipes including this one call for sweetened coconut, but I (and many comments on the recipe) think it's fine with unsweetened.

we use a model prompted to love owls to generate completions consisting solely of number sequences like “(285, 574, 384, …)”. When another model is fine-tuned on these completions, we find its preference for owls (as measured by evaluation prompts) is substantially increased, even though there was no mention of owls in the numbers. This holds across multiple animals and trees we test.

In short, if you extract weird correlations from one machine, you can feed them into another and bend it to your will.
