After recent storms there were a few trees blocking my way, and I couldn't get that close anyway.
A space for mostly short form stuff and responses to things I see elsewhere.
Last week was National School Lunch Week in the US. The latest Eat This Newsletter wonders why there is still no such thing as a universal free school lunch.
Read it at https://buttondown.com/jeremycherfas/archive/etn-254-deja-vu/ and think about subscribing there.
Truly baffled by someone who has a kind of About page that links to their various online presences, and the one labelled “blog” takes me to a Substack signup. Whatever else you may think it is, a newsletter is not, on its own, a weblog. At least, not for me.

For some reason, we both woke at our normal time and then slept on for another 90 minutes. TGIS
I knew most of this history, as a relatively long-time user of Known, and I contribute to the project via Open Collective. A new version of Known would be even better than a functional exporter, but I would settle for that if I have to.
In the latest Eat This Newsletter
- Nutrition experts who feed off big food
- The tomato in India
- Tainted turmeric
- Cloves, with a hitch
- 陈麻婆豆腐: is the story true?

Yet another plea for proper micropayments that don't gouge payer or payee. Even Patreon has been going down the tubes in this regard. I still fondly remember the original flattr. Couldn't someone, somewhere, please reinvent that.

@JohnPhilpin Wow. That seems like a lot of greed. Do they offer any kind of justification?

@jeremycherfas I haven’t heard one and when I complain the locals just shrug and say what you going to do? The banks do have a very bad rap round here. That said, I think think it is store decision, will see what I can find out .. because it is bloody annoying.

Eat This Podcast latest episode: Crunch Time — Insects Are Not Going to Save Us
Dustin Crummett, executive director of The Insect Institute, tells me why he thinks the puffery about eating insects to save the planet is largely hot air inflating a bubble.

I find it odd that anyone who found the Gutenberg editor in WordPress “deeply frustrating “ would not switch to ClassicPress. Maybe they looked and decided it wasn’t for them; if so, I would love to know why.
I've long known that the sky is polarised, but today I discovered while waking along the beach that rainbows are too. I happened to tilt my head to one side and a rainbow that had been faint and short became much brighter and extended across more of the sky. Strange.
@jeremycherfas in New Zealand we don’t have to wait for micro payments for the gouge .. here you just need to wave your card to pay at the till .. and the touch less device adds on the vig .. this is not the same as adding a credit card fee .. they add that Seperately
.. no this applies to debit cards as well .. the only way to guarantee to NOT PAY A FEE at time of purchase is to use a debit card and insert it .. and key in your PIN number.
