Nice Moon photo dude. I looked at the sky and saw only one (1) contrail (water vapour jet exhaust cloud) today. The sky is really clear. All the cars not driving maybe? Light pollution should be down 'cos every oval office is at home. I should re-assemble my USSR 130 mm telescope. It's full of spiders. Gah. How do you polish a telescope mirror delicately positioned inside a tube?

If you know anyone breaking isolation or social distancing rules please snitch on them via crimestoppers.

Snitching is officially good now, but only for this one thing ok.

Sure do wish it was mandatory to allow employees to work remotely if you request it and your employer is able to offer it (They're able to offer it)

Is this thread a bubble? We seem to be considerably less hysterical about covid-19 here than posters in the other GBS threads where it's being discussed.

We are loving Australians :australia: (basically immune to something ... (I forget what I was going to say) [Insert something intelligent]). Umm convicts. Diggers. Snakes. Island continent. Red sand.

It's so quiet here now (and it's normally pretty loving quiet) I could hear a baby bird calling this morning, making a strange sound. I was like what the gently caress is that?

It can only have been a baby Kookaburra practising. I would stake my life on it.

Spent the arvo wondering around the local cemetery at Woronara. We were planning a short bushwalk in the national Park nearby but it was closed. The Greeks have such clean, immaculate and extravagant graves

It's "Woronora" oval office.

Just walk down the track between the cemetery fence and the sporting fields. You'll hit the river eventutally.

Having my daily breakdown crying and smoking on the back step before I head into the office to face more death. I've organised a few days off every week into the future since my holidays for my bday got cancelled I've got a month of extra leave I had been saving for my first holiday in 5 years and all I can really do instead is minimise exposure time to the outside world.

I have very consciously resisted the temptation of getting back into CK2 because I actually need to get some work done while at home.


I am pretty hyped for CK3 though.

If you form up the dough, then shape them straight after first proof and then do the poach and bake that's no issue yeah?

Mrs decided we should wait to cook them till this morning cos the recipe said to fridge them overnight but I did that and they went all sad and flat in the fridge, I just think that's the fridge being cold and CO2 compressing in the cold

Yeah, if I remember correctly it's: get yeast rising with hot water and syrup, mix ingredients, let rise a little bit (5-10 mins), cut into 4.3oz chunks. Roll into rings, allow to rise for about 20 mins (or until they float almost immediately in the poach (don't forget honey in the water), poach for 5-30 seconds, drain, add toppings, bake at 400F(?) and bake for 12 mins (give or take, depending on oven). Keep in mind these were bastardized bagels that were made for sandwiches instead of authenticity. You want a warm room (23C or so), things go much slower if it's cold.

You are right on both counts. The Wonnie or Wonny is correct.

I just finished baking off a batch that I did with 50/50 rye and bread flour and the flavour is incredible. We have been using malt syrup in place of honey, poaching for a minute either side, but did the proof after shaping for the entire night slowly. Mainly because the ambient temps are cool enough to get away with it at night here

The wildlife seems to be taking over.

I disturbed a huge colony of 5 (five) fruit bats chilling in an overhanging tree (bottlebrush or paperbark, dunno it was dark) last night walking up to the bottle shop.

They were hanging upside-down over the footpath (sidewalk) at head height when I startled them and they took off one by one. They were so close I could have grabbed one. I was pretty wasted. It was a bit trippy.

Saw this little dude just now. Not bad for a phone pic if I do say so.

Deinopis subrufa.



"Net-casting spiders are common in bushland and gardens. By day they hide, stick-like, among foliage. By night they build beautiful little webs about the size of a postage stamp and made of thick, bluish-white cribellate silk. The web structure and web spinning behaviour reveal that the net is a highly modified orb web and net casting spiders are descended from orb-weaving ancestors."

Noice.

If you want to get fancy put a bunch of raisins in the dough mix and roll them in cinnamon sugar before baking. Great with melted butter.

I've been thinking about trying for soughdough bagels. It can't be that hard, he said foolishly.
