@inkican I suspect many of them decide to return to school for degrees / certifications?

@Hatchet Bands are crazy expensive. DJ’s aren’t cheap, either.

@Entropy Never did much like Color of Magic, but I love the guards books. Men at Arms and Night Watch are all-time favorites. Pratchett loved Carrot, but he was fascinated with Vimes (and Vetinari).

@McBinary @theinspectorst

When you are wrapping items in paper, don’t wrap it tightly and smoothly! You want to crumple the paper up around the item. The crumpling is what protects it; a piece of newspaper wrapped flat and tight around a glass doesn’t protect it from bumps and shocks.

@McBinary
Iain McGilchrist, The Master and His Emissary. Fascinating stuff.

Liz Williams, Detective Inspector Chen Novels 1-3 A fun mystery / fantasy series based on Asian mythology.

@McBinary Just finished When the Air Hits Your Brain by Frank Vertosick. Fascinating although tough to read in places. Content Warning: death, including child death

What, no bread-makers yet?

• Zojirushi Bread machine (I use it for the dough cycle. Don’t at me.)
• Electronic scale. It can be a cheap OXO, but you need one.
• Banneton and liners
  *Lame (honestly, my favorite is the cheapo Breadtopia one with the plastic handle–much better than the walnut-handled one my mom had)
• More Emile Henry ceramic bakers than I’m willing to admit. Crown rolls, anyone?

I haven’t ventured into sourdough but I’m teetering on the edge. Looking at the King Arthur crocks.

@killick Whoever designed that software went on to work on Blackboard, I swear.
