inFinally got to that new bakery in Portland and their laminated croissant dough was a whole different level of flaky.
What about the flour though? I messed around with a long proof once but my layers still got gummy. A baker friend told me it's because most all-purpose flour has too much protein for that method. You might need a specific type with less gluten strength to stay tender after all that time in the fridge.

inShowerthought: my entire seed-starting setup got fried during a power surge last Tuesday.
Seventy two seedlings is a huge operation to save at the last minute. My heart would have been pounding trying to get them all to the window in time. It’s crazy how a piece of gear you trust can just fail like that. Did you manage to keep them all alive after the move?

inAppreciation post: a vintage Nikon F2 shutter curtain gave me fits for two hours
Forums can be a total crapshoot for parts though, right? My cousin got burned buying a lens mount that way. Honestly, checking local camera repair shops might save you a headache.

inJust realized the difference between a basic scheduling app and a real CPM tool on my last project
Procore's scheduler is solid, but it's a full project management suite, not just a CPM tool. For a stand alone scheduler on smaller jobs, I've had good luck with Smartsheet. It handles dependencies and float well without the big system overhead.
