A space for mostly short form stuff and responses to things I see elsewhere.

Latest episode of the podcast hears about Laos and its amazing agricultural biodiversity -- almost all of which finds itself put onto a diversity of plates. You can find the episode at https://www.eatthispodcast.com/laos-diversity/ with a clickable link in my bio.

As promised yesterday, details (such as they are) of my discovery of do-nothing bread from Respectus Panis, now up on the bread site. https://www.fornacalia.com/2019/respect-to-respectus-panis/

Chris, I don't know what got you into all this strong names stuff, but I want to take the opportunity to point to my own pet peeve and a fine band, together at https://www.jeremycherfas.net/blog/eagles-point-the-way

I stopped sharing photo posts to micro.blog because they were being duplicated. Pretty sure now that's because the RSS contains the image twice, as part of the CDATA and again as an enclosure. Not sure whether to fix in @WithKnown or ask @help at micro.blog to ignore enclosure.

Smoky and peaty. A fine end to a dank, gray Sunday afternoon.

A hugely pleasant surprise. More details later, when I’ve had to write them up.

Double take.

Quite by coincidence, I'm sure I just yesterday listened to Malcolm Gladwell and Dave Hill talking about Lords of Chaos and the black metal scene. https://brokenrecordpodcast.com/#/episode-7-dave-hill/

Parochial, or what? Matt Kiser should know that plenty of use who depend on WTFJHT do not actually live in his country. Delete that Y!

I've always fond RSS indispensable. As for tools creating better ways to surface stuff, Newsblur does allow you to train it, which to me seems more useful than using an algorithm to train me.
