Cheradenine,

That would be a nice feature, currently you can only see your own modlog. I liked the previous ‘tap to see deleted comment’ as well.

Cheradenine,

I would imagine you have read your Mrs. Beetons? Mrs. Beeton’s Book of Household Management

There are some interesting recipes, and she and her book were widely influential. The book contained reasonably detailed instructions and quantities. There wasn’t any of that ‘cook in the usual manner’ that Caréme and Escoffier used. It was much more a modern cookbook in that respect.

From a modern lens she was also horrible, i.e. ‘Indian servants are good, many of them: but they cannot be trusted and will cheat if they have a chance’.

It’s still a good read

Cheradenine,

On yer bike

Cheradenine,

Nice looking pita

Cheradenine,

If RockBox still exists you could put that on iPods and play FLAC

Cheradenine,

Their comment made me almost consider posting an emoji on Lemmy.

Cheradenine,

How could you use bundle when Business is the collective noun?

Cheradenine,

A group of Ferrets is called a Business, or Busyness

Cheradenine,

Dammit I had to look it up. It’s sheep, sheep.

Hoist on my own petard I was

Cheradenine,

Not at all, they are probably talking about horrible Dayton Style pizza. For when you want pizza but it needs to be thin, unsatisfying, greasy, and difficult to eat.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dayton-style_pizza

Fucking heathens, if it weren’t for them keeping keeping the alien technology from area 51 at Wright Patterson AFB I’d have them wiped off the map.

Cheradenine,

Hard to believe but they do. Note the blackened edges to make it even worse. It isn’t a nice char like you get with Neapolitan, or even the seared cheese you get with a good Detroit or Pan, it’s just burnt.

There are many American pizzas that are great, Chicago deep dish, NY, Detroit, on and on, Dayton style is not one of them.

Cheradenine,

I was just talking about that with a friend a couple days ago over a delicious Starbucks Frappacino™. We decided to meet up so he could show me his new iPhone XX Pro™. Great phone by the way.

We both thought viral marketing and astroturfing wouldn’t probably be much of a factor on Lemmy, even if you’re using a really smooth interface like Voyager™.

Cheradenine,

I know the iPhone XX Pro™ is pretty new, and exclusive to T-Mobile ™ with their comprehensive and afforable coverage. So there may be misconceptions about its abilities. There is an optional case made by the good people at Fleshlight ™ available which will satisfy your needs. Of course the free VPN service offered with every purchase will allow you to view your favorite video entertainment, even if you are a freedom loving American from the great state of Texas.

Cheradenine,

Jet is just marketing speak here. It’s a bunch of ducted fans.

Cheradenine,

In that particular case they did need to log the ip because they were compelled to do so by a Swiss court.

That was an opsec failure on the user, if they used a VPN or Tor they would not have been caught.

Cheradenine,

Yes, by VPN I meant something decent. Not whatever spyware is top on the Play Store for circumventing geoblocks.

They were already using Proton Mail, they just were probably thinking that was enough. It would have been if the French had not been able to convince a Swiss court that their request was valid.

Cheradenine,

I hate watching videos though too when I can just read instead.

Is it the anxiety of phone calls in general, and the lack of visual clues?

That’s not a bash OP, I just don’t care for videos and I hate Google.

ETA: I prefer reading because I feel like I can better determine bias that way.

Cheradenine,

Thank you very much

Cheradenine,

Finally someone who is interested in the stingless bees of central america, the minor canals of France, and narrow gauge rail in southeast asia.

So, what’s your first question? I bet it’s about the canal de berry and why it never sustained enough traffic to be upgraded to freycinet gauge.

Cheradenine,

Because narrow gauge is always the odd man out. If you used narrow gauge (and there are many, the term encompasses quite a few different sizes) there was a reason. Could be something like tight turn radii, or as simple as bigger costs more.

Cheradenine, (edited )

In the department of Cher Napoleon established a vast forest of Oak. The purpose was to have materiel ready to built ships for his navy. This was a strategic resource, the same way steel, tungsten, etc. are today.

With the changes in shipbuilding, at least for naval vessels, the need was diminished for timber masts and planking.

The city of Montluçon had been a producer of cast iron for a long time. Canals are an ideal way to transport that long distances.

The oak forests shifted to being a source of charcoal both for the charcoal itself and for the production of cast iron. The ‘pigs’, ingots of cast iron, could later be wrought or further refined into steel.

Pretty much the tl;dr is that demand dropped off, because Oak was no longer needed for war and higher quality iron could be sourced more cheaply from the north and east, with better connections. It was thought that upgrading the canal was not cost effective, so it slowly died.

The canal itself had issues, it often suffered from insufficient (water) influx, and leaks. It was not terribly well waterproofed as the area is low in clay soil. It’s quite lovely through many parts, though there are some dry areas. The Locks still exist, and many of the Lock Keepers houses are there. They were all built to the same plan from Oak and stone, with lovely Tomette (hexagonal terra cotta tile) floors in the kitchen.

There is of course more, where it links (it doesn’t exist in a vacuum), the general depopulation of what the French call the ‘Diagonal Void’, and probably other important things that i will remember next week and think ’ that’s important, why didn’t I write that down? Now they think I’m an idiot’.

Cheradenine,

Thank you, it was very nice of you to say. I really am better at it in person, I tend to get off on a lot more tangents, which can be interesting or tedious depending on your point of view.

There are some stunning areas in the diagonal, if I was a digital nomad with n EU passport that’s where I would base myself. Lots of beautiful old houses for little money, bit like Akiya in rural Japan.

Cheradenine,

I had a long time partner who had her own things. It was pretty normal for us to talk during and after dinner, then retreat to our own worlds. She or I would ask what the other was doing sometimes, “nothing, just reading” meant you were 10 pages deep, and chasing all the citations.

Cheradenine,

You can do it, or use one of the instances at searx.space

Searx is great, it’s all I use, but it’s a meta, there is not a ‘Searx Index’ which is what this is about.
