I’m a recently graduated physics major (BSc). Strange Aeons convinced me to get this app.

I was tagged by @some1s-sista to post 4 non-selfies for the holidays. I’ll post some recent vacation photos, plus my latest bread (loaf number 17) and a fun burger (I made the bun 🙂🙂🙂):

I tried to use a tangzhong for bread 17, but sadly I forgot to remove the water from my calculations. I had to add extra flower to get the hydration back to normal, but that threw off the yeast percentage. I should have added an extra 3.6 grams of yeast. Oh well, still turned out yummy!

I don’t have many people to tag, so… @drewdiamondart @i-am-a-fish

I made a new apple pie completely from scratch! My girlfriend helped peel and slice the apples. Thanks!

[boredphysicsstudent]

I made my own pie dough and baked an apple pie! The filling is from a can, but everything else is homemade!

Edges are a bit jank, but for a first pie it’s pretty good

If I had a nickel for every time it came out that a government official blew someone nicknamed “Bubba”, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice.

I lie awake at night thinking about His Hole. Was any of it real? I can't hold my wife unless I imagine she is Kermit. I miss his squelch as I sopped him wet with my seed. "For the joke!" I cried. I would fill him with my nectar. And laugh, and laugh. Like some kind of joke(r). I miss you, Kermit. Don't tell my wife. Don't tell my wife.

Bread 16, everyone! It’s still cooling, so no crumb photos yet :(

I just adore the cracking on the top of the loaf. It smells delicious (as all fresh bread does).

I need to try a new variety of bread soon. What are some fun breads I could make?

[boredphysicsstudent]

Latest bread! This is Bread 15.

65% Hydration, with a vegan “egg” wash brushed on top.

I think it’s my best so far. I love how the crust cracked in multiple spots.

Any ideas for future breads, I’m all ears!

$10 at a thrift store! This is a classic Hewlett-Packard 20S calculator. It’s programmable and has, in my opinion, the best keyboard I’ve ever felt on any handheld device (including the Blackberry).

If anyone knows any neat facts or tricks, let me know!

A fun thing I found on the OEIS (online encyclopedia of integer sequences):

Suppose you have a sequence like

1,2,2,3,3,3,4,4,4,4…

The pattern is “each number n appears n times”. You can make this sequence in a very unexpected way with squareroots.

If you round sqrt(2x) to the nearest whole numbers, you also get the same sequence!

was thinking about this randomly and figured out the proof lol. Time to get to n would be 1+2+3...n-1 = n(n-1)/2. And so, a_n = x when x = n(n-1)/2 => 2x = n(n-1) => n ~ sqrt(2x)

[boredphysicsstudent]

Ha! I would never have connected Gauss’s trick to this sequence, but it makes so much sense. Thank you :)

i think you can recognize that the usage of ai by students of all grades and all around the world to cheat through their assignments is not a personal moral failing but just yet another symptom of the mechanistic if not, at this point, basically dehumanized processes of our education systems which are nowadays almost solely focused on demanding production from students and churning out degrees required for jobs while ignoring any tangible verification of their actual knowledge, intellectual development and critical thinking skills, much less their mental health, while also pointing out that using ai to write your essay isn't a power move to cheat a flawed system, it is behaving exactly as the system designed, it is cheating yourself by giving up your ability to speak, think for and challenge yourself and bowing your head to powers who will only benefit from not being questioned, and the only reason text genai is so widespread right now is because it was born on the perfect breeding ground that is anti intellectualism

[boredphysicsstudent]

Love this perspective!

Boy, these Mormons sure were onto something when they invented Soaking! I am having a grand old time (even if my Member is a little pruney)...

This hurt my soul to read, thank you

When you are unemployed, mysterious voices will tell you to "become a youtuber" but you must remind yourself that it's probably the amulet talking. The amulet you found last week, near the park. It has given you good advice so far, but there is always a line that you shouldn't cross.
