That is impressive.
Have never seen a spicier Notables Bun.
Hats off to that Baker.
All looks good.
For the "Q Bakes" section, or perhaps as its own section, it may be prudent to discuss Rally Bakes.
The season will be upon us soon enough, and if things accelerate to late 2018 status, any advice to get Bakers to the top of their game will be critical.
Talking sub-20-minute breads. Add Q to that and you have one hot kitchen.
Baking @600 or earlier with no/scant Notables was not uncommon.
Moreover, having another machine/device to watch the rally may be useful (but not mandatory) for those worried about their machine/connection taking on too much stress.
Also especially useful for catching/remembering post-rally Notables specific to crumbs from POTUS himself.
Any Bakers from 2018 rally season can attest and should have more to say on that front.
Re: timing bakes:
Will go back in the archives tomorrow and do some retrospection.
Fastest Bread to my recollection was ~16 minutes.
That said, bread timing was more a personal interest than an official metric for anything. Helped gauge when to fire the next bread, from the most pragmatic standpoint.
>tele-vision
You joke, but speaking candidly, I didn't have one to work with for the longest time. If you knew my rig/setup 2017-2019, you'd probably think I was insane.
>four arms
Goro or Machamp?
"POTUS crumbs" during a rally can be as simple as a single quote or as complex as a full unlock. All depends on Anons nomming in the bread and judicious discernment.
Most of the complex ones take some digesting after the fact, coupled with MSM reaction lunacy the following day.
Nothing wrong with slow digestion.
Nothing wrong with making mistakes, either.
Very glad that's emphasized in the FAQ, by the way. Can tell you're speaking from experience and sound advice. Makes a world of difference.
Trail by fire is important and has its place, but the effort has evolved and strengthened as a result of contributions such as the Baking Lessons and this FAQ.
>stories about what drew them here
May discuss that tomorrow, if you're interested, work pending.
Experience not dissimilar to other Anons' reports. Not sure if that's surprising. May come off as a bit strange, though.
Still, crashing out.
God bless, man, and excellent work with the FAQ.
Keep kicking ass.
I hope you have a great night.
Checking now. November 2018 is where to look, #4700-#4800 approximately. Anything that says "Rally" or a location name in the title is a possible candidate. May also have been a few in 2019. Will check.
The Archive is not the fastest, so it'll take time to find which bread(s) cracked sub-20.
>odd ducks
Yep. Pretty much. And that's not bad.
Spot on about everyone being pretty much Anon, and with Bakers having each others' backs after extended time in the kitchen.
>stories
First learned about Q maybe after the first few drops or so on 4ch.
<ok, another larper. Cool. Let's see what happens.
Followed it for a few days, got interested, then became very interested with the onset of what should have been the Antifa uprising in November.
Naturally, it was stopped dead. There was no reason for it to stop dead, and yet, there it was. A lack of what was supposed to be the biggest wave of rioting since the Bolsheviks.
>holy fucking shit
Then things got strange. Take the following with a colossal grain of salt.
Fell asleep one night and woke up - stark awake - in the middle of the night to something beyond by understanding, the details of which are fairly benign but will nevertheless make me seem like a crazy person upon description.
The closest I can get would be shield of faith, not mage armor.
Then I fell back asleep. Fascinating to learn over time that other Anons dreamed of or experienced similar phenomena. Fate, indeed.
After that, devoted more time to the effort, lurking, then eventually chiming in, then namefagging early on, then baking in December 2017.
Best hours for volunteering were in the morning while at work, and since IT didn't give a damn who or why anyone was using their network, I baked while workfagging.
Life got weird late 2018, which allowed for longer hours volunteering at the expense of health. Should've better paced myself in retrospect, among other things.
Come April 2019, I had to leave for several reasons, the primary one being an opportunity that didn't allow for hitting the boards at all, let alone baking.
Another weird year. Got a story about meeting IRL cabalists OCONUS. Bizarre people.
Eventually hopped back on owing to extra rona downtime, wanted to keep contributing, and here we are.
Not the most exciting story, perhaps.
