I know, it was a real roller-coaster. I won't lie, the subtlety went over my head initially and took some deep reflection before I could fully comprehend the plot. For other scholars and deep-thinkers interested in comparing the emotional impact they felt, I'd summarise it thus:

"I wish I had a sandwich" "Here is a sandwich" "Really?" ... "I now have a sandwich"

Truly Shakespearean tale-telling! How authors come up with such complex tales I'll never know.

I use it daily for both work and play.

In 3d work and game dev it's often far easier to just show people things quickly through it.

When playing coop games our group will all stream so we can see everyone's PoV. We'll also occasionally use it to watch a movie together.

Stoat still doesn't have screenshare. It's also a bloody stupid name - I have no idea who thought that re-brand was a good idea.

Fluxer seems to support it though.

BNoth can be self-hosted, which is a nice bonus.

The giant yorkshire pudding bowls made in flan trays are awesome - the bottom end up saturated in gravy and delicious, and it's really fun serving the whole meal inside them. But they do take up a lot of oven space. I'm usually cooking for two, which is fine, as two of the 6" trays will sit happily next to each other. If you're cooking for more this might not work.

I grabbed a 6-bowl tray for hosting friends at Christmas (£12 on Amazon) and it worked really well too! (Not the best picture fo them.)

If you do buy one of those trays be sure to get one with a raised rim around the edge. When you pour in the batter you can then fill them to the brim and not worry about the displaced hot oil getting everywhere.

Try using a tray with shallower bowls and you'll get proper bowl-like yorkies. Muffin trays will always make them do this weird thing where they cave in on themselves.

Resist the temptation to open the door when they're cooking, or they collapse.

I've also used a 6" flan tray with great results if you want something you can literally serve the whole meal in!

Not sure what oil you used, but sunflower oil gives them a nice flavour. They need very little oil, common mistake is putting too much in the bottom. I go with no more than 1-2mm depth.

I find letting the batter sit too long has a detrimental effect. I find the sweet spot is 30-60 minutes.

My personal mix is 4 large eggs, 250ml regular cow milk, 200g sifted fine plain flour and a lot of salt. Don't over-mix, it should have good legs on it with < 1 minute of an electric whisk.

I preheat the oil at 220c (420f) until smoking. Then I cook at 160c (320f) for 20 minutes.

Gods I love Yorkshire Puddings. Great work, love to see someone else experimenting with them.
