The kind of nerd that teaches themselves​ computational geometry for fun. Into ttrpgs, gaming, sci-fi and fantasy, crafty stuff, and so, so many ADHD "enhanced" hobbies. He/him, they/them is fine too.
Special move: weigh anchor
He swings across to your ship, flips up in the air like Tidus shooting the Jecht shot, hurls the anchor at an enemy across the deck and uses it to pull him into a drop kick on another

Yes I know thats got nothing to do with what "weigh anchor" means and no I do not care.

Nice color and texture, a bit too chewy and still a bit yeasty. The stuffing got overpowered by salt and yeast tho.

Looking forward to the next attempt with a better proof. I need to give it a go without salting as well, to see if I can make the stuffing work.

Second was a pretzel batch I alkaline dunked while the first was baking. I've got about a quarter of the dough remaining in the fridge, maybe it'll proof better overnight but not sure.

I stuffed two of them with cheese and sauce.

Result: mixed success.

first experiment was a control set and a set with just pizza sauce and cheese.

Result: failure.

Something def went wrong with the proof. Probably because I used a yeast substitution (I accounted for the difference in types, but c'est la vie). A bit doughy and a lot yeasty, and not much rise.

(That's not the experimentation part. The experimentation is I'm workshopping my potluck dish for a family gathering I'm not even sure if I'm going to yet lol.

Gonna try a few mini batches on a pizza bites theme, maybe do a pretzel style alkaline bath into the mix, y'know, have fun with it.)

With the paper it kinda looks like the output of a Worley noise / cellular noise generator.

I misread brook trout as "book trout" and it made the passage a lot more surreal.

Yeah, but we already know they're gluttons for punishment as long as it doesn't come with a prison sentence. I'm capricious enough to deny them even that, the fuckwads.

I wouldn't even leave them Pinterest.

"they can go sell their digital product in a road side stall/some random website that's lucky to be indexed let alone findable with whatever the fuck is currently going on in the SEO meta."

Right, so they can go fuck themselves then. They might as well just say it straight.

They need their noses shoved in their own shit more tbh.

If they can't even manage the easy slam dunk wins, what the fuck is the point of them?
December 4, 2025 at 4:51 AM
To be clear, I don't know what the correct way to deal with all this history is. I just know we're not doing it great.
December 4, 2025 at 2:42 AM
Honestly just... Fuck. Lol
December 4, 2025 at 1:59 AM
Fuck yeah!

Idk, I don't have anything nice to say to them and I'm mad about it.

Honestly it only highlights the payment processing thing to me as a fundamental issue. If we can't solve around it someway, our outputs are limited to what they deem acceptable.

Which is obviously not the ideal, because, I mean, just as a starting point.... Fuck them?
