Hot take: I was wrong about letting my sourdough starter get super bubbly before a bake.

Trust my nose more than my thermostat these days. My kitchen swings from arctic to tropical depending on how long the oven's been on.

Pro tip: I was wrong about using PVA glue for everything

So you mix wheat paste with methyl cellulose for that extra flexibility?

Shoutout to the guy at the Portland game store who taught me how to lose

Funny enough, I see this in pro sports all the time. A team gets a lead and then just plays scared, trying to run out the clock instead of sticking to what got them ahead. They stop attacking and start hoping the other side messes up. It's the same thing. You go from making your own moves to just reacting, and you always lose in the end. That guy was right, it's a total mindset trap.

Shoutout to the guy who caught my crucible slip before it tipped

Man that's a close call, glad Ray was on it. But honestly, why was the floor wet to begin with? Were you guys using water to cool something nearby or was it just condensation from the heat? Seems like fixing the source of the water would be step one before we even talk about mats or absorbents.

Vent: I used to think scanning a site was just about finding walls, but after the 2021 ground-penetrating radar survey at Jamestown, I realized it's about seeing the whole story underneath.

It's like the survey gives you the map before you start walking. Otherwise you're just guessing where to dig and might miss the city for the one house.
