The hb has suddenly become awfully quiet in the past day or 2.
Is everything working as it should?
Are all the halfbakers OK?

Probably commutative/possibly additive possibilities for low poster turnout: |
|

1. resurgence of Covid, 'flu, RSV and similar affecting HBers and/or their families |
|
| |
2. War in Ukraine: unintended long-range effects on HB psyches |
|
| |
3. Bazillionare 3rd new UK PM this year--UK HBers in shock |
|
| |
4. Midterm elections in the US, so US HBers are holding their collective breatheses |
|
| |
5. Lunar eclipse effects on power grids, both external and internal prevent access to HB (not hokey; related to full moon/high tide effects on bread rising, for example) |

Still alive here. Nothing to report. |

Oh I've seen it far quieter before. Activity at the Bakery waxes and wanes. For what it's worth, all's well in my neck of the woods. |

All good, people!
Typically, I have a look when I get to work, & there are usually 10-ish new comments/ideas to catch up on. Yesterday, none. This morning, 1. Just seemed quite unusual is all.

A considerable number of formerly active members no longer post anything. Because they were some of the more inventive contributors, general activity is proportionately less. The world is also quite a depressing place now ie: war in Ukraine; unstoppable effects of global warming; mass extinction of species; fresh wave of the election of extreme right wing fruitcakes into positions of power. I believe a general malaise effects everyone.
For my own part, I've been posting a lot of new work on Instagram where it has a more responsive audience than I find here, but I'm still around. |

Well I, for one, had a problem with my keyboard so I tried using an on-screen version only to realize my monitor isn't touch-capable. |
|
| |
Then I considered trying a blink-switch type of device like Stephen Hawking used but my CPU isn't compatible with Windows 11. |
|
| |
I found an old keyboard I bought for my BlackBerry Playbook but, well, you know, it was BlackBerry. |

So that's my list of excuses, running the gamut from weak to ridiculous. What's your excuse? |
|
| |
I blame myself and social media. |
