If Ben Werdmuller is wondering about the look of his front page, maybe that means that @WithKnown will get a template system that mere mortals can understand ... but probaby not.
Whatever was wrong, it is right again. Thank you, mysterious gods of the internet.
My only experience with far infra-red heating is the lovely little Klarstein panel under my desk, which makes winter just about bearable. When (if?) the time comes to extend, I'm calling in Peter Molnar as consultant.

Hmmn. I wonder what's in it for them?
@help If I were to move to a paid plan, is there a way to import posts from the RSS file exported from Known?
Not entirely surprised to discover that Charles Darwin employed a slip-based system of note-taking, explained so clearly by Richard Carter. This will probably be of interest to @chrisaldrich and others.
@MairBosworth Terrific listen that adds so much history, humanity and thoughtfulness to the value of human breastmilk.
This will never work. Or will it? I can get a discount on Bike by replying to. Toot with a photo of my hometown, but I can’t attach a photo to this reply. Maybe Jesse with treat me kindly.
@seyloubakery Has it really been almost five years since I visited? Time flies when you're having fun. I listened again to Jonathan and it is no great surprise that Seylou has gone from strength to strength. https://
“Stop Using WordPress to Microblog!” Kinda funny to read this, 15 years on, just when people are thinking seriously about using their WordPress sites to microblog.
@annia It's a nice point, that Anthropocene blames all people rather than the rich few, but alas Oligocene is already spoken for.
@catlilycooks One reason why I always have a pack of Sugru in the fridge. https://
@marcelweiss Doesn't seem that extreme to me, perhaps because I have been doing it for quite a few years. But I am no techie, and many modern CMS enable quite a lot of the interaction that IndieWeb promotes.
@marcelweiss "the indieweb crowd has historically put too much emphasis on this extreme case". What is the extreme case you are referring to, please?
@allysseriordan Only three days, which is a bit of a pity. Taking the time to travel by train makes it more of an adventure and let’s me see other places along the way.
@allysseriordan Me too! Three hours into a two-day trip from Rome to Budapest, with an evening in Venice.
@ChrisAldrich Hardly surprising. The topic may have a long history, but it is very of the moment too.
Two explainers on tomato colour at

I cannot recall anything but red tomatoes from my youth. Yellow was dangerously exotic maybe 30 years ago. All that diversity, hiding out of plain sight!
@person72443 @omgitswinx Or, you know, come on over and explore https://
I too replaced an 11-year-old MacBoook Air with a new MBA M2, and I agree, it is a thing of beauty. So I am in need of a case. I doubt that the PKG is available in Europe (a shame) but the side-zipper is now something I need to keep an eye on.
Grateful to @leckerpodcast and @dearlucy for the opportunity to eavesdrop on the ever-so-interesting chat between @angela_hui and @rebeccamjohnson about their books and their lives. https://
Interesting comment. I hadn’t considered dairy allergy, which would have taken me even deeper into the thickets. I take it human milk was not an option.
Fascinating article, although it omitted one of the finest juggling acts I've ever seen. The Gandinis, at the Edinburgh Fringe long ago, lying on the floor and rolling water bottles from hand to hand. Slow juggling, very meditative and entrancing.
ICYMI, you didn't miss it, because the newsletter is yours to read at https://
But you might miss it, next time, if you don't sign up now.
Huge congratulations to @WonderbagO on their nomination for the @FoodPlanetPrize. Proud to have interviewed Sarah Collins way back when. https://
@ThatPaddedChar You got it in one. Standards about things like microformats are exactly what allow a plurality of implementations to flourish.
Thanks for the tip. My MIDI keyboard thingie already does a bunch of stuff that I have barely explored, so for now another soft synth would be overkill. One to keep in mind though.
Meanwhile
Lady Eva seems to have given up on Odessa. Sara left Odessa, now anchored at Bandirma, TR, cargo unknown (by me). Jasmin Queen and Noran loitering at anchor south of Istanbul, maybe still en route to Odessa or Chornomorsk.
New in Odessa: Ali S, Ganosaya, Zhe Hai
You go away for a few days and ... nothing much changes.
Razoni could be anywhere, not reporting position. Navi Star got to Foynes an hour or so ago. Polarnet still anchored off Pendik, TR. Rojen left Italy, currently anchored off Cephalonia. Riva Wind still at Iskenderun.
Razoni, Polarnet, Rojen no change. Navi Star off the southern corner of Portugal. Riva Wind moored near Iskenderun.
No change in Odessa; six cargo ships in port (and one expected later today)
Razoni still not updating her position.
Navi Star through Gibraltar to Foynes. Ireland.
Polarnet still anchored.
Rojen still in Ravenna
Riva Wind entering Gulf of Alexandretta.
Sara joins 5 other cargo ships in Odessa.
On a related note, tracking the vessels is easy enough. How I can find out more about the cargo, what is loaded and unloaded and all that?
#shipping #bulk-cargo #commodities
Razoni is on the move, possibly to Egypt, but not updating her position.
Navi Star in the Eastern Med, heading to Foynes, Ireland.
Polarnet steaming to anchorage south of Istanbul.
Rojen moored in Ravenna,
Riva Wind expected in Iskenderun in a day or so.
Riva Wind nearing Athens, Rojen passing Puglia on the way to Ravenna, Nav Star about to pass Sicily.
Razoni and Polarnet have not moved.
No change in the bulk carriers in Odessa.
Odd. The buyer of the Razoni's wheat cargo has refused to accept it, “citing a more than five-month delay”.
Polarnet still moored, Riva Wind still at anchor, Rojen passing Athens.
No further departures I can see.
Razoni still at anchor. Navi Star at anchor in Istanbul. Polarnet tied up in the Gulf of Izmit. Rojen on its way through the Marmara Sea. Riva Wind heading for the Bosporus queue.
Doesn't look like there have been any further departures from Odessa.
Riva Wind left Odessa this morning for Istanbul. No word yet what it is carrying.
Navi Star, Polarnet and Rojen all in the queue for the Bosporus.
Razoni at anchor near the Turkey/Syria border.
@SheilaDillon It could never be simple, not if you want to cover the externalities of both products in adequate detail.
@bonjouryannick You might want to look at https://
@decarola Devo trovare l’ora dell’ultimo treno a Roma, ma sicuro m’interessa.
Thank YOU @nelsonhist for doing the work and being happy to talk about it. Today, Grain and Empire closes the trilogy, leaving a lot still unsaid. Oceans of Grain is a terrific read that sheds light on so many disparate topics, all connected by wheat.
I see Jason using what looks like the AT 875 short shotgun mic as his desktop mic, possibly for podcasting and conferencing, and wonder how that compares to a less directional mic like my Electrovoice R50.
@TimDee4 More to it than spring and autumn. Thought to be a coded guide to the long-term storage of grain, known to the Ancients and then forgotten until rediscovered in the late 18th century -- without which there would be no global wheat trade. https://
@jblanca42 And finance. This week, @nelshist explains that wheat warehouses were the first banks, how the grain futures market emerged from the US Civil War and how Russia robbed the widows and orphans of France.

Next week, empire!
A bookmark with a fixed number of sticky tags on it is a brilliant idea. No more tags? Stop reading and write notes on the things you tagged.
@ECLLD Very happy to see my dreams come true. I don't understand why my reader failed to pick up the feed automatically, but I have now added it and will look forward to seeing updates as they happen.
“Republicans are now preparing a Fascist coup while Democrats wring their hands and dither.”
It is a worry, to be sure.
@neilbuttery Agreed, blackcurrant leaf tea is delicious. Right now we also have an abundance of mint that will all die back in a couple of weeks. What other leaves are good to steep fresh?
@cll2606 This is annoying. It seems that my install of WithKnown is not playing nicely to POSSE Twitter replies. It might be something to do with Quilll, but I doubt it. More likely to be accumulating cruft in WithKnown. I want to keep using it, but ...
@RJABuggs @FoodiePharma I'm hearing that the main cold store is safe and has mostly been safety. So while there is clearly a present threat, it just isn't true that any “terrible loss to plant genetic resources” has occurred. @LiseLykkeS may know more.
