Biscuits! A variation on Anzac biscuits. These have added hazelnuts and mixed peel, some scotch whisky and a slightly different process (did not melt the butter, or activate the baking soda with said melted butter and syrup - which always seemed to me to be showy without actual purpose).

How to Create a Compelling Photo Story - The Writing Cooperative
This photo of me with my youngest daughter is my favorite. And with it I created a photo story (below) in 2007 that went viral, garnering 350,000 views in several days. I posted it on a site called…Geoffrey Gevalt (The Writing Cooperative)
What with the inexorable march of time etc, I find it harder to change focus from near to far.
These glasses have refocusable lenses (from some horrible cheap dial-eye specs), a couple of little linear servos to drive them, and a couple of endoscope camera modules to track my eyes.
The focus is adjusted based on where my eyes are converging.

Blacksmithing - Forging a skillet / frying pan
In this video I show how I make a skillet or frying pan, whatever you like to call it. This is by no means THE way to make a pan, I just used tools and techniques available to me at the moment.Invidious
Yeah, that's about the range you'll generally see, depending on quality, age, and whether they have a housing or not.
Since I use it for live music and want the extra stability, I got one with a housing on it.
PSA: If you'd prefer not to see retweets and crossposts from Twitter, you can go to your Settings (Cog icon) and then select Filters
Add a filter for @twitter.com and you'll never seen them again (well until you remove the filter that is).
depends on the mobile app being used, but it can be done in the “official” app.
Click your profile, then the cog, then scroll down to Account Settings, then when that loads, the three bar menu, then Filters.
Phew!
as one of those admins, that does play in to it.
But also, if we wanted to read Twitter content, we’d be on Twitter.
I've had conversations with a bunch of people today who were asking for help with various masto/fedi stuff, in Spanish. They all thought I could speak Spanish.
I used deepl.com/translator. It's really freakin' good.

The Part About Making Maple Syrup that We Don’t Talk About Much
The chores surrounding the end of sugaring are filled with joy and peace. And hard work.Geoffrey Gevalt (Medium)
Mastodon is likely the last social media experiment I’ll try. Here are some birds for you, because although I’ve left Twitter, I love drawing birds.

I still remember how the internet felt back in the late 90s, I'd love to get that back. As you say - peace of mind. Maybe this place can mimic that a bit.
"Shadows of Forbidden Gods" sounds like it will be extremely my jam, so I tried it out last night. It's an Early Access turn-based strategy game in which you play a (slowly-waking) dark god whose Agents are working to corrupt the human world. store.steampowered.com/app/174…
You move the Agents around a hex-based map containing farms/villages/cities and command them to incite unrest, disrupt food production, cause strife between nobles, and set up Wells of Shadow, which spread corruption.
Shadows of Forbidden Gods on Steam
Take on the role of a Dark Elder God and lead your agents to bring about an apocalypse in a fantasy world.store.steampowered.com
Most of the important actions took a long time (13-20 turns), which was partly a result of me not focusing my skill points correctly, but partly also just the challenge of the game.
Every 10 turns, an Event happens that typically sets back the work of one of your Agents by a couplefew turns. That's rough on a 20-turn action. That extra time lets Heroes catch up to you to attack, or for rulers to notice you and put anti-Shadow shields up that undo your work.
There are some things that are still a little rough in the UI right now. Clicking to select Agents on the board actually selected the adjacent hex half the time. The autosave process unselects what you're in and changes the zoom. Sometimes when I hit "space" to end my turn, I actually changed the action my Agent was doing. 😒 Some additional clarity around where I can use certain agent actions would be nice, too.
All of that said, I'm 1000% going to keep trying this game. 🤩

a technical image question:
I want to enhance the resolution of this image... This is the best quality the programme that (scientifically) generated the image will produce, but I need it to look ok as a 5 ft square on a giant screen. I've tried in photoshop but then the resulting image in HitFilmExpress is gigantic, even though I set it to be the same 11.48cm.
I'm sure if you know this stuff it's obvious... i'm just figuring it all out as I go... (I have 60 to do) #asking #image #editing
my original files are as .bmp
does that mean I can clean them up a bit so they are 72-96 dpi? It is slightly more complex than having it just as an image - all the 60 images are involved in a 15 min film, and they change size... I don't mind about the main boundaries being pixilated, I think I just want to smooth the insides. They are images of patterns of sand on metal plates and they are generated to be on a 434mm plate... so they are by nature small to start with.
So if you are resizing in photoshop, in the resize box, change the DPI to 72, and then set the longest edge size to 1920px
That *should* display ok.
You can choose Bicubic (smooth) to try to smooth some of the enlargement artifacts.
Using the image from your post, the resulting file size comparison was:
409,972kb original.png
667,503kb enlarged.png
So here's a question: Why did so many writers leave @medium a.k.a. medium.com?
I took a long breather. I did it because I was sick of the "5 Ways to..." headlines I kept being directed to. BUT, I am trying again. And am saddened to see so many of the writers I used to follow and interact with ... gone.
Why? Where are they?

Today’s update of the “Official” Mastodon app now includes the local timeline.
However, it is a bit hidden. If you’re using that app, press the magnifying glass icon, then scroll the tabs at the top to the right and click on Community.

I reforged the rails to hold the long forge & they are now quite secure.
There’s a few things I need to do to the forge to improve performance, not the least of which is to seal the ends.
Despite that, I attempted to heat treat the cutlass blade. It wasn’t quite as even as I’d have liked but I think it was close enough for something that will never see combat. Seemed to be around 55HRC when done.
I then finished grinding the blade, & slice both my hands (minor) in the process. #blacksmith
If you weren't aware, astronomers don't have a great relationship with Musk. A big issue for us is the Starlink satellites, which due to their low altitude and high number, already regularly interfere with ground-based observations. #starlinked on Twitter has endless examples.
We get told it's the "price of progress" and that SpaceX will make space telescopes cheap anyway. But that's BS: development of advanced space tech is much more expensive than the launch.

Elon Musk’s Starlink satellites are still too bright
Who will save the night sky? Astronomers’ views of the stars are being dimmed by the bright satellites of Elon Musk’s Starlink.Brian Resnick (Vox)
This is less of an issue with Starlink per se, and more a failure of Govt's the world over in providing ubiquitous , fast terrestrial broadband.
Musk just happened to step in and fill a void with tech that does that globally with the minimal fuss (astronomy not withstanding).
As someone who was left behind in the ground based broadband market, I took starlink as the better-than-nothing option.
Okay, it's time to tell new users a secret about Mastodon.
Mastodon is (whispers) part of a much bigger network 😮
Mastodon servers use an open standard called ActivityPub to talk to each other. That's how you interact with people on other Mastodon servers.
But, dozens of other federated networks also use ActivityPub, so (this is the good bit!) you can follow people on these other networks from your Mastodon account!
For example:
PixelFed (pixelfed.org) is a photo sharing network, here's a random example account @Iancylkowski
PeerTube (joinpeertube.org) is a video sharing network, with a p2p system that allows videos to go viral even on small servers, here's a random account @craftykat
BookWyrm (joinbookwyrm.com) is a social reading site, an open alternative to Amazon's Goodreads, here's a random account @mouse
Together, Mastodon and these other services form... The Fediverse 
" title="
"/>
(whispers) Click on the link...
framatube.org/w/4294a720-f263-…
JoinPeerTube
PeerTube is a decentralized video hosting network, based on free/libre software. Join the federation and take back control of your videos!JoinPeerTube
The link you just clicked on leads to a video on PeerTube, on a server called framatube.org.
BUT... if you copy and paste the same address of the video into the search box in Mastodon, and search for that link within Mastodon, it will appear to you as a Mastodon post 
You'll then be able to watch it (of course), but also you'll be able to comment on the video by replying to the post within Mastodon, like the video by favouriting it, and follow its creator by following the account that posted it.
This is the Fediverse in action, totally different services interacting through a common open standard.
It can be hard to get your head round this at first, but it's incredibly useful and once you get used to it simply how things should be.
Yup! Try it out!

On a Subject We Dare Not Mention - ILLUMINATION - Medium
Death creeps into everyday thought now as I get older, but the unresolvable question it harbors spurs me on - my imagination, my desire to create, my effort to look forward. Joy follows.Geoffrey Gevalt (ILLUMINATION)
I can definitely understand the sentiment!
Then it really depends on what you are looking for in a social network.
From my 1-week experience here, I find that here it feels easier and more welcoming to have deeper conversations about different topics with other people.
On the other hand, on twitter it seems easier to "broadcast" things that I want as many people as possible be aware of (CFPs, events, etc).
