>>57620 Oh I see. No I did ron it, that makes more sense. I didn't realize those needed to be completely concealed. Oh well, still a good hand. I guess in the future I just shouldn't richii and try to get the yakuman, since being in richii would've caused furiten.
In a ranked game I'd personally just take the 12,000 points Obviously you aim for tsumo if you want to be a chadlord, but 12,000 points is 12,000 points. That's a decisive amount that can change the outcome of the game.
In an ancient land, though not as ancient as it once was, where many magics and mysteries still lie, a girl by the name of Lorelei spends a night pondering. Not pondering the issues of her father, which racked the minds of all those under him. Not pondering the issues of her brother, who bore the weight of succession looming over him. But pondering a simple fight over dinner, which echoed her own lack of placement in the world. She lie awake, staring at the small crack in the wall. She feels it's so backwards that her house is so luxurious, and yet it keeps her away from the sky more than any commoner. She lie awake, as the Moon hovers overhead.
Mao a cute That bread better have preservatives in it, ahahaha..... I wonder just how much that iron stick was worth. Will we know where Mao was from? Where she's thinking of going? How long she's been in town for to have bumped into Lorelei, how coincidental their meeting was, the list goes on, but perhaps in time. Off to the next delicious place, perhaps, heh.. Mao has a good nose.
"Mm, these are great! How come you could trade that little rod for so many breads!?" "Oh, this is money from Rao, it's worth more than uh... well than it's worth I guess? I don't really get it either, but father has plenty, he wont miss it." Mao inquired about Loreleis father, but she didn't give much for answers, and all Mao gathered was that he was important, but most of the words Lorelei used were too long to understand further. "AH! SO YOU'RE A PRINCESS!" "I am not a princess! Our house just has a lot of people who owe us... favors and stuff. I have nothing to do with it, but they can't get that into their heads." Mao realized that Lorelei didn't want to talk about it, and quieted down for a moment. Her ears drooped as they walked, until Mao spoke up. "I... am a Niuqu, a distortion from the Cursed Lands..." Lorelei looked up in surprise, not surprise at this information, the ears gave it away immediately. But simply surprised at the way she acted somber, it was a new face that Lorelei couldn't picture Mao making. Mao continued, "you know what happens to those who wander into the Cursed Lands right?" "...I've heard... so you don't remember anything from before?" "Nothing. All of this, seems new to me... not even a bit of deja vu."
"So, you're wandering around looking for your home? That's the journey you're on? "No..." Mao continued, "I'm going back there."
It was silent for a few moments, as the two of them munched on the bread. "...lets do it" Lorelei finally spoke up. "Huh?" Mao's ears pricked up. "Lets do it. Lets go to the cursed lands." "Nonono, it's dangerous! You already got me this delicious bread and-" "I want to go. I want to take you there." "..." "It's my families duty to defend the human world from the monsters of the cursed lands, and well, I think it's MY duty to help you!" "That doesn't make any sense!" "It doesn't have to!" "Mao doesn't get it! And besides, the cursed lands are dangerous, even the borders are dangerous, we can't just walk in there!" "Well what was your plan then!?' "Well Mao is strong... but I can't let you come with me!" "And what makes you think I'm not strong too!" "You're way too pretty to be strong!" Lorelei blushed and stammered. "Sh-shut up!" The two continued to walk, and with their bread finished, they walked out of the town.

As Mao and Lorelei continue

Walking eastward, they headed through a forest and came across a small wooden hut in which a decrepit pale hermit lived. With a worried expression, Mao edged her way closer to the door as Lorelei slowly opened it. "Who comes here?" said the hermit, attempting an intimidating voice, which however, turned out to be not so intimidating and instead rather feeble. "Is everything ok?" replied Mao with a concerned look, noticing the frailty in his voice. After waiting unsucessfully for a response, Mao replied "we are in search of the cursed lands, we noticed this hut and-" "the cursed lands", interrupted the hermit, "are past the septentrional plains, they are in the north. That is 2000 farsangs away."
@Ren do you know the timing/temperature difference that I'd adjust for a ceramic loaf pan? I keep on increasing the time and temperature but man, it keeps on sticking. I'm on my 3rd attempt with a broken loaf and I'm getting quite disenchanted with ceramic pans in total.

I baked cookies yesterday. They didnt come out like i epected but they're okay i guess. They dont taste that sweet but I know how much sugar i put in them so I know i cant eat as much as I feel I should be able to... I know theyre sugar cookies, but i feel like the recipei called for way too much still.
>>62337 >wilton Found your problem. Everything wilton I've ever used has been cheap junk. In the biz, the wilton pans were always the junk pans used for junk jobs. >blob a few drops of vegetable oil on the pan and smear it around I've never had luck doing this. I find I need to actually spray on oil with a spritzer or something. Normal spray oils in a can normally have flour or lecithin added for extra unstickability which I don't care for personally, but you might be fine with. Also >>62374 In the biz, I'd flop it out of the strap pans similar to flipping things out of a frying pan, but for a single loaf, I just turn it over and let it fall out. >>62401 I'd think it'd be pretty much the same as glass or cast iron. I actually stopped adjusting for the pan I'm baking in since I found it really doesn't make that much of a difference. >>62554 Salt and vanilla are pretty important for cookies. I like to put in 2-3 times the called for vanilla for most things. It makes them taste so much better.
>>>/watch?v=PSCFIZa4b3I I watched this video recently. For some reason, I find it wild how similar this bakery is to the ones I've worked at. Even the equipment is the same. I guess thinking about it makes it less wild. Maybe just wacky. I'unno, but if you ever wondered what it's like working in a bakery, this'll give you the vibe. I really want those ovens. They look nice.
Oh right, I forgot to ask my question. Does anyone here have any experience with Belgian pies? I made one for thanksgiving despite never seeing one before and was told it was pretty good. Now I want to make a better one for Christmas, but every recipe I've found kinda sucks. I'll probably rig together my own thing, but I want to make sure I'm still making a Belgian pie.
It's been like a year since I've hopped onto Kona-craft server... Been forever since the /tea/-craft server has been up. Minecraft itself has updated several times since. I wonder how you merge old maps into new ones.
>>62996 Clear cut case of poor/nonexistent shielding right there. that is in fact not Kobeni
>>62998 the thinkpad I just bought has both a normal proprietary charging port and a usb-c thunderbolt port it can charge through, which is really cool. I have a usb-c fast charger I leave at work, so taking my laptop is real easy because I don't have to lug the charging cord with me.
I see, I see. My work laptop charger is USB-C so I can steal that. >>62997 What's funny is this laptop is USB-C but the docking station uses a full charger, so you still need a real charging cord here. I don't have a post so you gotta make it Lila Lilac I am grabbing random pictures from Signal cuz I have no where else to grab from with such low bandwidth lol
Part 2 is amazing, Asa is the best character Funimoto has written The chapters are legit hilarious and made me laugh with Denji's antics and getting pushed around by everyone
