"My Brexit stash of tins of beans and toilet paper has had a rebrand. It’s now the corona virus emergency stash."

Very clever.

@webby2001 Of course, it could easily evaporate, if something happened to Medium. Wouldn't it be a good idea to have a copy on a site you actually control?

@LisaLodwick Exciting indeed. Frustrating that it remains behind a hefty paywall, especially as the research it reports was probably funded by public money. As bad as more than half the cemetery sites being unpublished.

@MGraybosch Fine sentiments, and for a one-page site with a single message, not sharing metadata is an OK choice. But a little markup with microformats on a site helps others to find and enjoy the in their own way.

@EIT One newsletter reader suggested it was because cooking in the US is much more aspirational than in the UK. So UK cooks want to get on with it, I think, while US cooks want to think they could get on with it.

I hope you enjoyed it. Just to let you know, I've just finished brewing another episode on coffee, to be published noon GMT tomorrow.

.@jpnudell (Apparently long threads can get lost so I was asked to break them up, hence the choppiness)

A better solution might be to also write on your own website, or even at Humanties Commons. Somewhere we can avoid the choppiness and understand you better.

You're right! Apologies for that. Apparently those icons need JS.

Now to work out why your reply didn't show up on my site.

@TavolaMed At last. Thanks for saying it loud and clear: farro is spelt and einkorn and emmer, and the point is that they are traditionally grown as a mixture, all three in the same fields. So yes, farro is all three, but on their own none of them is farro.

@jojolemon I hope you win too. And while I could tell you your exact odds of winning, that would be commercially valuable information. Not.
