***** The Internet age verification nightmare *****
Democrats and Republicans alike, via bipartisan federal legislation, are pushing for an Internet where EVERYONE has to be fully identified via government ID to use social media (and that we can be sure will only be the starting point, expanding to anything "not suitable for children" in short order. And of course, that's what any politician declares it to be).
Despite claimed safeguards, the identify information is bound to be correlated between sites, eliminating any kind of compartmentalization between the different kinds of sites you use. Make a comment on a tech site? Ask a question on a medical site? It will all be brought together into your government profile eventually, because of the government ID requirements. And eventually it will be hacked and leaked.
Many people are missing the insidiousness of these legislative pushes -- a federal one now being heavily promoted in TV ads -- because they usually frame their arguments in terms of requiring parents to give permission for children to use social media, authenticated by government ID proof of age.
But in order to do this, EVERYONE has to be required to use those government IDs for access, even adults who don't have or never have had children. Otherwise, there's no way to prove that any given account creation request isn't being made by a child.
It's bad. Very very bad. And both parties are complicit. -L

Quick note to artists out there in the Fediverse: one of the best ways to gain followers is to follow & boost others.
On Mastodon, people *actually do* get to choose who they follow and what they see, so they can be selective. It's easy to tell if you're just "drop and go" posting by the number of peers you follow and what you boost.
Don't become just an Art Spammer. Mastodon is not Instagram, where that's literally all you can do. Engagement here actually works and means something.

You are not a failure just because you failed at something. Nobody should be defined by their lowest point, though everyone feels that way sometimes. Let your failures help define what you will strive for, who you want to be, not who you are.

If you only see particular ones once, it might be you've got a worse problem than spiders: tourists.
Dear Spiders,
I realize we are in spider season in the PNW.
As per our Spider/Human Treaty of 1997, you are allowed as many spiders as you wish outside of the house, as long as you do not web my face.
However, you are limited to one spider, no larger than a dime, inside the house. I have now seen five spiders, and they were really big, in the house.
Please retreat to the treaty boundaries and quantities, or risk summary eviction.

This Week's Bread: School Cafeteria Yeast Rolls (Third Try's the Charm)
I finally nailed down what I was getting wrong and it was a lot:
Scaling down to 15g carbs per roll was too small, and left me with yeast pebbles.
I've been activating my yeast in 95 degree water. That's great for some yeast, but I'm using Active Dry Yeast. I didn't realize there was a difference and that active dry yeast needed to be activated at 105 degrees. And boy did it activate. Hopefully this will translate to my constantly dense struan bread.
Finally, I let the dough rise in a warm oven each time and oh, boy, did it rise.
But finally, school cafeteria rolls like I remember!
# School Cafeteria Yeast Rolls
Plain Chicken
24 rolls
2.5 Tbsp yeast
0.75 cup warm water
6.5 cups bread flour
11.0 Tbsp instant non-fat dry milk powder
6.5 Tbsp sugar
1.0 Tbsp salt
6.5 Tbsp vegetable oil
1.25 cups water
1 - In a small bowl, combine yeast and warm water. Set aside.
2 - In the bowl of an electric stand mixer, combine flour, sugar, salt, and dry milk powder.
3 - Add vegetable oil and water. Mix on low for 3 minutes.
4 - Add yeast mixture and knead on medium speed for 8 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
5 - Loosely cover the bowl and let the dough rise in a warm spot until double in size, about 45 minutes.

9 - Loosely cover the dish and let the dough rise in a warm spot until double in size, about 30 minutes.

IMO, the Long Long Man gummi ad series tells a better story in under 6 minutes than most soaps do in an entire season https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-1Ue0FFrHY
They're perfect. I did it! Another childhood fave recreated! 😃
