There are alleged incidents from the earliest days of military aviation of enemy recon pilots taking potshots at each other with handguns because aircraft-mounted weapons hadn't been invented yet and they couldn't use rifles because they needed to use the other hand to fly the plane. I'm not aware that anyone ever actually got shot down in this way, but imagine if you did. Imagine tootling around in your shitty little wooden-frame biplane when another guy in a shitty little wooden-frame biplane comes flying up to you and shoots your plane with a revolver. Imagine surviving the resulting crash and having to explain that this is why you went down.

next year james patterson is slapping his name on a book called "the secret lives of booksellers and librarians," which is real bold considering that every bookseller and librarian that i've met in my time as a bookseller and librarian absolutely loathes him. including me.

no minecraft stream this week the fermentation on just the levains is gonna take like five fuckin hours
Also gonna try to start tackling the dozen or so commissions that've rolled in since restarting the etsy shop too so see yall for minecraft next week
and I'll be updating yall on how the bread goes as it goes today
I'm not bougie enough to have a proofer for fermentation and shit so I've just heated the oven to between 75-85F (which on my oven is just when you turn on broil for 2-3 minutes then shut it off)
gonna be using this recipe in particular for exactly the same bread so i can taste the difference between them
youtube
this recipe makes two loaves, so each starter will have one loaf do its final cold fermentation in a banneton and one in a regular metal bowl:
Tumblr media
I'll be sticky-noting the outside of the cooking towels to keep track of which is which loaf when it comes to baking
since they need to ferment overnight, tomorrow morning will be when the first batch of loaves (probably the banneton set) will be going in the oven

Humans have finally managed to land on Mars, only to find a locked safe buried in the Martian soil. The key is apparently on Earth, but no one knows where.
