Happy Sunday to you!

Today it's time for one of my luckiest photos, this cute #weasel. I was initially looking for another animal when at some point it started rumbling through the grass. Since I could barely see more than just the moving grass I wasn't sure what it was first. And then it got closer and closer to the fence, so I just hoped it'd come out and prepared my camera.

And indeed, for just a few seconds it appeared, looked at something and ran away again. 😍

Pork and apple pie is what us for dinner (with roast beef on the side).

Oh gawd, the autocorrect fails!

"what IS for dinner"

and

"roast VEG on the side".

Dammit.



Update on converting one of my Butterfly Doom songs to an open karaoke system: I've finished it and submitted the file to Karaoke Mugen's database.

In the meantime, enjoy the "music video" version that's just a bunch of free cyberpunk-y clips edited together: spectra.video/w/kMjshXEGwBiukJ…



symmetrist (are you on mastodon?) pulled off a Vccq hardware mod to increase the eMMC speed of @PINE64 #pinephone 1.2 from 55 MB/s to 125 MB/s, added great documentation to the wiki and cleverly packaged the device tree overlay so it is entirely optional 👏

I made a video of me unboxing the @PINE64 #PinePhonePro youtu.be/obnvV30rft4

Currently last batch of foggy autumn #infrared photos. I love these especially. This place is so calm, yet otherworldly in these weather conditions. #landscapephotography #MastoArt

I may have crossed a line with my #coffee preparation. I now have dosing scales.
I blame James Hoffman.
in reply to David de Groot 𓆉

this is a good progression, your coffee will improve. I blame James Hoffman for my kitchen full of coffee paraphernalia. makes me happy though. I think my grinder was the best purchase
in reply to dunkle

I have a grinder on the christmas wishlist, 'cause my current Rhinoware hand grinder take 4.5 mins to do an espresso grind.

The Lindt store has a pick-and-mix where you can fill this box with whatever flavour Lindor balls you like for a fixed price.

All you people who thought that maths would never be useful in the real world, watch me as I optimize my box with a cubic closest packed arrangement. Who’s laughing now?

Yeah but you don't need maths to fill that box. Just a good ability to pack things 😛

in reply to Laura Ritchie 🌸

It's super simple.

1 cup of plain flour
¼ tsp of salt
maybe a teaspoon of oil (optional)
enough water to make a smooth, but not wet dough (as in when stirred it just comes together and then knead until smooth).

That should make about 6 tortillas. Recipe scales well.

Use a very hot cast iron pan to cook them in, no oil, just straight in the pan.



In 1951, Bell Telephone System, Dallas (Texas, US) published an interesting booklet "The Telephone and How We Use It" for teaching children how to make a call and Telephone 📞 etiquettes. Here are some images from this booklet. 👇



A baked blueberry cheesecake for tomorrow’s brunch (well part of brunch anyway).
There’s two punnets of blueberries in there.

in reply to Paul

'twas damn tasty 😀 Even better when served alongside some champagne.

Sometimes. The odd focaccia, sometimes a white loaf, sometimes a sourdough (when I haven't accidentally killed the sourdough starter).

Stopped for a bit today on a boulder by a burn, just below the treeline.

These four images are all from that one rock.
Yet, still we could have taken a dozen more, and *not* captured the biodiversity within a very small space.

It occurs to us, that often when biodiversity is talked about in the media etc, most of us have no real idea about what that means.
The levels of complexity in natural habitats are almost incomprehensible.

Absolutely stunning pictures!

Sadly true. It's tragic how much environmental destruction there still is, and how much diversity is lost as a result.

would you like to know how you can tune into my audio theater shows i air nightly or my anchor podcasts i do?


Thanks to another episode of James Hoffman’s coffee based YouTube channel, I have been introduced to the Shakarto - or shaken cold espresso. It is a thing of beauty and tastes fantastic.

Really cool that there are _two_ awesome tracker-based synth/sequencer/samplers available!

This fantastic video gives a pretty fair comparison of the two from someone who owns both.
