I forgot about this morning's bake! I made some pretzel buns/rolls, which turned out a little too tall/rounded. I need to flatten them a bit more next time.
And, two large pretzels. I ate one for lunch hot & fresh out of the oven. Damn it was good!

It’s not specified what protocols the USB-C ports support (presumably USB up to USB4 and maybe some alternate modes).

In 1991 the Fly’s Eye detector,
which monitored the sky for the glow caused by energetic particles slamming into our atmosphere,
detected a flash so huge it defied belief:
the cosmic ray that sparked it had an energy of 320 quintillion eV,
or 320 billion GeV.
That’s millions of times the kinetic energy of protons we can spin up in our most powerful particle accelerators.
It’s so energetic, in fact, that it actually has a decent macroscopic equivalent:

Where did the ‘Oh-My-God’ particle come from?
A single subatomic particle from deep space had the same energy as a baseball pitch, and scientists still don’t know how it got here
