Although it depends on your oven if gas or electric, your time and effort, how much power a bread machine uses. The oven makes bread far better than a bread machine but a bread machine is better than mass produced, sliced, preservative laden white bread.
But you could time it so the bread is baked when the oven is used for cooking supper.

I remember the first year or two of school so that would be around age six. I remember suddenly realizing how to tell time, hands not digital, then looking up and the class was empty I was concentrating so hard I didn't realize everyone left.
My next oldest and clearest memories are when we went on a trip to the US and Ontario when I was seven. I remember that year because it's when Elvis died and we got lost in Niagara Falls, NY in a rundown neighbourhood seeing a man in curlers and a kid hiding in a garbage can.
If I don't play for a few days I feel the same way when I am playing but I can power though that in about half an hour.
No surprise though since my flying career ended early when I couldn't hold my lunch, a (bumpy) hot humid day too much to eat and being nervous didn't end well.
I also think it's deceptive that they call themselves the Conservative party I bet older people may think they are the Progressive Conservatives but they are not it's two radically different political parties with similar names. I consider the current Conservative (Party of Canada) to be nothing more than the Reform Party reborn, for those who don't know Reform was like Canada's Tea Party.
The last election was supposed to change it all it seemed like everyone wasn't going to vote Conservative and there was even a massive push to get young people to vote which seemed to be working. Then the bottom fell out and the Conservatives were not just voted back in but a majority! I say it's the Boomers.
DIP switches are set for various options one being accept face up (two-way), other options turn on or off acceptance of certain denomination bills and maintenance features such as calibration.
Even now modern acceptors allow this, although four-way acceptance is often preferred by the customer.
I used to be able to draw but then I got into photography but just briefly because along came computers. Although I had been drawing a lot and well since before school-age (5 years old) or so my mom says.
Now having been lazy I haven't drawn anything in almost two decades. If I had it and lost it I'm sure I, or anyone, could practice to learn again or as beginner to learn.
It's very zen to do you can't rush it's something you have to slow down to do and learn to love it. It's the only thing where I could really concentrate to the point I'd come out of it (trance?) hours later.
I read that but farther down I read "but I watched parts of the conflict in great detail on a screen for days on end." seems to contradict. I understand what's meant, pixels and detail are different, but it's a poor choice of phrasing.
Medium format cameras have a much greater area sensor and probably overall better quality ($2,000 vs $20,000 or even $50,000 medium format camera) compared to a regular digital DSLR camera. Even a quick Google seemed to indicate photographers prefer the larger sensor size even if it has fewer pixels.
The article mentions "face images retrieved from eye reflections need not be of high quality in order to be identifiable" but even so there must be a massive difference in picture quality compared to a Hasselblad medium format camera sensor.
Still interesting though it's as if the goofy CSI or Blade Runner "Enhance!" has come true.
For all that work you'd think these days carbon fibre would be just as good, economically-wise.
And somebody made that damn robot fish too I had an idea for that back in the mid 90s :( /rant
I had Netflix and one day noticed I was billed twice on my credit card for Netflix service, one was OK but the other just appeared on my bill.
I used the online chat to talk to a Netflix rep who seemed unimpressed and not the least bit concerned (no frowny emoticon). I asked how a new charge I didn't authorize could appear on my credit card, she had no idea and just kept repeating the company line their system is unable to credit me, so I said but somehow it can magically take double the money? Nice.
Anyway, no apology, no concern so no Netflix.
And that's after I spent three hours shovelling off as much as I could before the ice storm hit us today.
It snow 15cm before the ice storm now I'm back to square one.
I'd like to have solar panels but I can't see how I could keep them from being covered in snow without shovelling them off off at least once per week Dec to Feb.

In the olden days using numbers in a username was considered bad now it's becoming as necessarily as using a mix of characters in a password.
