==LIVE Baking Seminar== '''11/5/2020''' ==We in here== ==Welcome To LIVE Baking Classes in the Q Research Utility Kitchen == ''We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.'' '''We are the bakers who provide the breads for those anons who post Qresearch's open-sourced information, reasoned argument, and dank memes. We do battle in the sphere of baking ideas and baking ideas only. We neither need nor condone the use of force in our work here.''' ===VINCIT OMNIA VERITAS=== ===SEMPER FIDELIS=== ===WWG1WGA=== ==INTRO TO BAKING== '''Qresearch is a 24/7 beehive of activity where anons post their diggs, memes and prayers.''' For this to happen requires '''''bakers'''''--which is why they have been called "the core of this board." '''Bakers perform several key functions:''' '''*''' __Set the ''tone''__ for each bread via their choice of bread title and /comms/ with posters. '''*''' __Post ''notables''__ for each bread. '''*''' __Bake ''breads''__ (transition the board from one thread to the next). '''*''' __Knead the ''dough''__ (keeping the resource pages clean, tidy, and up-to-date). When all goes well, baking is a fun & exciting opportunity to serve. When things get wonky and shills attack--bakers carry on anyway.

Link to Class #15: 14290 '''TWO MOST IMPORTANT FAQs:''' 1. There is no baking mistake that can't be fixed. 2. Never panic, never tap. __'''Generally'''__ '''What hardware/software is needed in order to bake?''' Laptop or desktop (phonefagging hard for newbies & tablets lack power). The bigger the screen, the better. Text editor like Notepad++ (for PCs) or Atom (for Macs). '''What other skills are good for a baker?''' Patience, persistence, high tolerance for criticism, ability to say no to shills. Good enough typing to more or less keep up the pace. '''What shift is good for a new baker?''' A slow shift like late night to early morning (also, Q seldom posts then). If you take a faster shift, just tell anons you're new and you'll get support. '''Bakers Tools''' This is an independent tool that anyone can use, but you don't need it to bake. '''Baking in TOR''' TOR doesn't allow images but does allow embedded YT vids; use for General (Iwo Jima) image. There's usually a TOR vid in "Baking" section of the /qresearch/ dough. '''Don't change previous baker's notables''' Possible exceptions: bad links, spelling errors, when they give specific permission. '''Baking everyday vs every so often''' Whether you can bake a little or a lot, help is always welcome in the kitchen. '''How to reduce baking stress''' Practice first, develop routines, be prepared, stay calm, don't fixate on mistakes. __'''The Dough'''__ The dough = first 4-5 posts/pages in each bread. Each post in one document separated by /////BREAK\\\\\\ markers. '''Organization''' __''post 1''__ - Q posts, __''post 2''__ - Notables, __''post 3''__ - War Room, __''post 4''__ - QPosts Archives. __Notables page__ can be broken into '''two pages''' on the fly if notable buns are long (even tho there's no BREAK marker). '''Dough problems & change requests''' New bakers sometimes inherit a funny-looking dough or are asked by anons to make dough changes. If you're not sure what to do, say so and defer to next baker. Often, bakers in the thread will jump in to help. __'''Practice Baking'''__ You can practice bake in /comms/, established in 2018 by BO Rusty. After getting down the basic steps, try __shadow baking__ (following a real bake to get the timing down). '''Green text''' In /comms/ practice bakes using Q Research doughs, links don't work and text is green. '''Q&A & getting feedback''' Practice bakers can ask q's by posting in the baking seminar thread or baker's Meta thread in /comms/. '''__Qanonbin.com__''' --new-- This is the app developed by one of the bakers that stores the dough so it can be picked up by the next baker. Successor to pastebin.com (which some bakers still use - see previous post for details >>20548). '''Do I need an account to use qanonbin.com?''' No. Any baker can use it, either anonymously or with a baker nickname. A unique ID (UID) is generated for each paste; user can also add a tripcode (optional). '''How to make a new q-bin paste:''' Copy entire dough from text editor, upload to qanonbin.com, select New Paste, paste in dough, fill in title ("new paste:"), and select SAVE. '''How to download a q-bin paste from previous baker:''' Copy qanonbin link in Dough post at top of bread into browser; Select RAW; copy-paste text into text editor like Notepad++. '''Other uses:''' Qanonbin.com is good for verifying incoming baker bc it issues an exact timestamp along with baker UID. __'''Notables'''__ '''How to tell what is notable?''' A few ideas: look for anon noms, Q decodes, POTUS tweets/retweets, planefag/boatfag reports, relevant news items (for breaking news, __check qresear.ch to avoid dups__). Usually, memes are not notabled. Unsauced tweets & articles must be sauced first (quality matters). '''How to format notables list?''' Formats vary, but best to use '''bold''' or ==red text==. Examples: ''''Early notables'''', ''''Notables @200'''', ''''Notables #11956 @300'.''' __'''''Always link to dough post if ghosting after posting'''''__. '''How often do you post notables?''' Often enough to give anons multiple chances to have their say about notable selection, some ideas: '''* 200, 400, 600''' (plus a FINAL) or '''* 250, 500, Last Call around 640''' (plus a FINAL). __If you take the bake late__: Post notes as soon as you catch up or by @600 at the latest (so anons know you're still there). '''Max number of breads in Previously Collected Notables?''' 4 - 5 lines. To make room, just delete the bottom line(s). //////////////////////////// BREAK 3 \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ __'''Timing Issues'''__ '''What do I do after accepting the handoff?''' Most bakers start by finding/copying pastebin (check Dough post first); prepping Create a Thread; and doing a quick dough check to make sure everything is ok. Then start collecting notables. Later, bakers will need to check bread title (update?), check notables page (more room needed?), and transfer notables from text editor to dough. '''When to post a final notables list?''' Depends on bread speed but usually around 680 - 710. '''How to keep up with notables during fast breads?''' Depends how fast. When Q posts, priority is on grabbing Q drops, not notes. During fast non-Q breads, focus on skimming off the 'cream' and leaving the rest. Always try to include noms but only if they're high quality (from anons not shills). Practice makes perfect. '''How long does a New Thread take to show up after I select Create a Thread?''' 30 - 60 seconds unless there's a severe lag. If lag is bad, let anons know and ask them to wait for new thread. __'''Handoffs & Baker Comms'''__ Good /comms/ are critical for well-baked breads, so need to be clear & easy to find. '''Showing baker or note-taker changes''' Easy to forget but useful to showing who's responsible for which notables. Insert "baker change" or "note-taker" at the point when the change occurs when recording notables. '''Handoffs: call-and-response protocol''' Baker announces he seeks handoff; available baker(s) announce they can bake; baker usually takes the first in line. Example: B1: ==baker seeks handoff'==, B2: ==can bake==, B1: ==handoff confirmed?==, B2: ==confirmed, bread is mine== When shill activity is high, baker may be asked to produce a recent pastebin or other proof that he's legit. '''Ghost bake protocols - ALWAYS TAG THE DOUGH POST!''' When baker can't get a replacement, he may have to ghost the bread (leave it bakerless). Example: B1: ==baker seeks handoff; will ghost @100==, [no response], B1: ==baker leaving the kitchen== '''ghost bake''' When another baker picks up the ghost: ==baker assuming responsibility==. Don't forget to TAG THE DOUGH POST so bakers arriving after @600 will know there's a baker (avoids dup bakes). '''When there is more than one baker per bread''' __Two things to note__: 1. '''Ordering of notables''' (can be more or less "top to bottom" or "bottom to top"): Either use the __same order__ as first baker or __change his to match yours__; '''try not to mix them'''. 2. '''Use "baker change" to separate your work from first baker's.''' Don't treat first baker's notables like suggestions, respect them as if they are PB notables. __'''Making Reports and Global Reports'''__ To report to BO/BVs, find little triangle on upper left of each post, select it, then use menu. Use __Report__ to ask BO to make bread changes that bakers can't make, e.g. changing a wrong bread number. You may need to do it more than once (or twice). Use __Global Reports__ for child porn (CP) or other illegal material. Someone is on-duty 24 hours. '''Duplicate bakes''' Use Report to ask for moldy bread to be locked and provide a link to 'good' bread. __'''Baking'''__ See step-by-step instructions on page 1 of class dough. E-BAKE steps are there too. '''To bake each page....''' Divide bread into 4 posts by looking for /////BREAK\\\\\ markers. (For two-page notables, do it on-the-fly for page 2). '''How to bake when the Catalog is down?''' __Use the Index__ (8kun.top/qresearch/index.html). You can Create a Thread there. Afterwards, __locate your new thread this way__: go past the pinned threads and the old thread; the new one is usually right after it. To "enter" that thread, __click on the OP post number__. (__Allow at least 30 secs__ for new thread to appear.) __'''Baking Error Messages'''__ '''Body too long''' Happens when there are too many characters per post (maybe 5000) or too many lines (maybe 200). This seems to vary but gives you an idea). '''Flood detected''' Happens if you already posted same exact text (most common--if so, add a space somewhere). Can also happen during DDOS or when too many anons post at once. '''Server took too long''' Usual server response for /qresearch/ bakes (95% of bakes). Solution: __WAIT AT LEAST 30-60 secs__, then check the Catalog (should post despite the message). Can be confusing for first-time bakers because this lag doesn't happen in /comms/. '''SEE ALSO''' Crazy bakes >>9960 //////////////////////////// BREAK 4 \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ __'''Common Mistakes'''__ Don't be afraid to make mistakes - all bakers make 'em (get used to it newbies!). Easy-to-make mistakes: '''* Incomplete copypasta''' (not grabbing ALL the dough when baking for each post, so that top or bottom isn't there) '''* Screwing up content or formatting for bread title''' (use Report to have BO/BVs correct). '''* Not tagging the dough post''' in comms like handoffs, picking up a ghost bake or posting notes in a ghost bake '''* Forgetting to use BOLD and''' ==red text== for handoffs, Notables posts, and other important comms '''* Confusing "Create a Thread" in the Catalog with "Post a Reply" within a bread.''' (Avoid this by putting Create a Thread tab __far away__ from tab with current bread.) '''* Accidentally pressing Create a Thread before end of bread''' (Solution: report premature thread to BO/BVs, post a link back to real bread, post an alert & apology to anons, then forget it & return to bake). '''* Dough errors''' (Solution: generate new dough & post pastebin link in the bread. First-time bakers: just leave a message for next baker on the problem.) __'''Q Bakes & Other Fast Breads'''__ Generally: When Q posts, drop everything and get to bottom of bread to pick up Q drops and put them in the dough. Pick up notes from there if you can. Bake EARLY - @630 is not uncommon. '''Formatting Q drops & LINES''' Check existing Q drops to see formatting; __copy-pasta the LINES__, don't try to do them yourself. '''Cap for baker''' Anons will usually post them for you. Search with F3 on the link or 'cap for baker'. '''POTUS rally breads''' These can be pretty speedy; bake early so anons have a place to post rally comments. __'''Dealing with Shills'''__ Shills want a bread full of squabbling anons so that anons withdraw and good digs are overlooked. Just the presence of a baker deters them. SEE ALSO "How To Quickly Spot A Clown" (last line of page 1 in /qr/ dough). '''Telling anons from shills''' Baker: "you can tell when a reasonable accommodation does not mollify." Posters who kvetch no matter what are shills, not anons. '''Responding to shill tactics''' __Shills always test bakers__, pressuring them on notables, dough changes, etc. If being reasonable does not work (see above), make a decision and __stand firm__ with it. '''Common shill tactics for screwing with bakers''' Purposely leaving out dates on moldy notables; nomming a list of notables at end of bred; nomming hard-to-evaluate Q decodes w/no main point or title; including no sauce or crap sauce; burying bad stuff in the middle of a post (muh joos, etc), moaning about pb notables/asking for changes. Anons do some of these things too but shills are more obvious about it. '''__Ways to respond when you're sure it's a shill__:''' '''* Generic shilling/spam:''' Generally ignore. '''* When shills demand something:''' Respond calmly, with humor and facts, try funny memes to diffuse an attack (Left still can't meme). Memes also tend to end the conversation. See Baker Tips for examples of how to outlaugh a shill. '''* For a personal attack targeting you:''' If it's major, don't take that shit, fight back, it's war. Make the shill POS sorry he ever took you on with a powerful and meticulously documented, fact-based counterattack. Screencap the evidence. ''Remember, revenge is a dish best served cold.''
