Ah, hello panic attack my old friend. How are you? This is fine. I'm fine.* How are you?

You'd think after 30 years, I'd be getting over this silliness by now. Apparently not. Maybe I'm just lucky that way.

I hate it when I see something that claims to make a point about something like ADHD, mental health, or a 'human' aspect of science - but it's actually meaningless from a scientific standpoint. It's riddled with confounds, leading questions, false equivalence, and any other number of issues. I don't want to call it out, because I don't want people to misunderstand my feelings about the message it's trying to send, but at the same time I hate letting sloppy researchers get away with it.

I prepare the starter by mixing 150g of starter with 75ml of water and 75g of flour, then leaving it 24 hours before using.

In case you're wondering about the sourdough recipe I came up with:

For two loaves:

850g bread flour

300g active sourdough starter

2tsp salt

4tsp sugar

300ml refrigerated sour cream

150ml boiling water

Mix the water and sour cream together, then add all the other ingredients and mix into dough. Adjust water as necessary. Leave to rise for about 10-12 hours. Knock back, halve the dough, and stretch/fold into loaves. Let rise. Bake for about 40 mins at 180c with tins over a water bath.

Sourdough experiment is successful. I have a new daily bread recipe. Light, nicely flavoured, and works out nicely for the timing of the stages. No more need to buy yeast. 🍞

Trying a new sourdough recipe, and it looks good. Fingers crossed it tastes as well as it looks. I'll make more butter this afternoon to go with it.

My daughter asked for plane toast for breakfast. I'm doing my best, but it's not an easy material to work with.

I even did a confusing run on sentence there, I'm quite proud of how unhinged that sounds. Maybe I'll start a cult.

How much of a tinfoil hat conspiracy theory is it that AI slop and bot accounts are a deliberate attempt to poison the sources of free educational resources and pathways of communication to facilitate deniability in the event of a damaging leak, keep the common people stupid enough to manipulate, and prevent them rising up against their governments?

My FDM 3D printer has broken again. I think it's the 40mm fans on the head this time. I literally just replaced the nozzle assembly. The psu fan is grinding, too. I'm starting to think it's time to concentrate on finishing the new machine and throwing this thing into the bin. In the meantime, I've broken out the elegoo saturn. Hopefully that thing still works, at least. Even if it is messy as hell. 😡

Oh christ on a bike the clowns in the Political Asylum of Downing Street have decided to try and force AI into everything. I'm sure there's lots of university people scrambling to write trendy buzzword bollocks in an application to ride the gravy train and get a new department, just like they did for Cyber. Remember Cyber? My uni secured cash for an entire Cyber Department . Nobody knew what the Cyber Department was supposed to be researching or teaching, even the department themselves.

Everybody! Stickers! Several people asked, so I've been working on a way to add vinyl stickers to my store. The first few are available now, and there will be more to come in the next few weeks.

Postage is calculated separately for stickers, so you can save when buying multiple items. Some stickers are available in multiple sizes.

I don't often photograph my bum, but when I do, it's to show that I'm staying warm in the shed using my homemade DeWalt battery powered heated office chair.

My current irritant is youtube videos saying things like "can we restore this 100 year old skillet?!"

I mean... Come on, how low is the bar these days? Firstly, 100 years isn't that old for a metal tool. Secondly, just buy some wire wool and oil, this isn't a skill test. If it's really bad, get a soft rotary wire brush or some vinegar. Everybody used to know how to do this stuff, you're not a restoration genius.

First staff meeting of the year today, had to go to the workshop in the snow. The commute took about 30 seconds, which is almost double the normal time. Meeting was a waste of time. I'm the only employee and everything is still terrible, just like before the break.

As the boss I feel like I should put on a brave face for the sake of me, but I'm pretty sure that as an employee I need to do better this year or I'll have to let myself go.

If you're going to use a propane torch to try and clear out a blocked 3d printer nozzle, don't accidentally pick up the MAPP torch instead. While the nozzle is technically no longer blocked, it's only unblocked because you can't block a pool of liquid brass.

Anyway... The printer is working again after a bit of fudging with a 0.6mm nozzle.

I don't get why sellers hate Etsy - Yes, it's a store front and they take a cut, but so does everyone, that's business. I see so many people get a poor review, then storm off saying "I've had it, I'm going to have my own website!"

I'm just thinking "yeah, then you're going to have to maintain everything yourself, generate your own advertising, handle your own payment services and postal services, deal with customs forms, etc."

And let's not mention how much that magical new site will cost.
