Working for food is a pre-industrial idea that's harming the planet and everyone on it. http://www.ianwelsh.net/why-if-you-dont-work-you-dont-eat-is-a-hell-ethic/

Cold vs. warm oven Being a lazy baker, I don't want to do the extra step of heating the oven and then put in the bread, I just let the bread rise in the oven (with the light on for a bit of extra heat), then remove the cover and turn on the oven. It seems to work, but sometimes I don't get much of an oven spring, so I'm a bit unsure that it's a good idea. Have any of you done controlled experiments with the difference between cold and warm oven start, or know resources about it? I have enough variables in my bread already (see http://thoughtbloggles.blogspot.de for some of my experiments) that I haven't been able to test this yet. http://thoughtbloggles.blogspot.de

Looking at differences in bullet journal notation and what things work for me.

Check out this picture from fri.stucki on Instagram. Is it just me, or does the book seem to move sideways when you scroll up and down?

Paraphrased from Michael Fromberger : "Remember, today is Don't Believe Anything You Read on the Internet" day. Which is different from all the other days in that people won't believe as many ridiculous things on the Internet as usual.
