Really enjoying this 'Wildwood Gold' black @tea

Gushu Dianhong from Mei Leaf

It's sold out unfortunately, might try to get some elsewhere but that's usually a terrible idea: “A teapet cannot steep into the same tea twice, because it is not the same tea, and he is not same teapet.“

@tea I'm too addicted, I think I might try pathofcha's version – any thoughts? or other tea to get in the same shipment?

@tea Happy to report that teapet is, in fact, quite happily basking in a golden Jin Ya Dian Hong from path of cha

Below is a custom writer that behaves like a built-in writer. It can serve as the basis for a modified writer, e.g., one with a programmatically modified template.
https://pandoc.org/custom-writers

local format = 'commonmark'

Extensions = pandoc.format.extensions(format)
Template = pandoc.template.default(format)
Writer = function (doc, opts)
return pandoc.write(doc, {format=format, extensions=opts.extensions}, opts)
end

@pandoc Do you have an example where the writer is modified for just one type of element? If I understand correctly, I could use, say, the default typst writer implemented in Haskell, but overwrite the formatting of one type of element with a custom Lua function instead?

TIL ITD – Today is International Tea Day

so I started with an English Breakfast for exoticism's sake.
The camera refused to focus for a while

@tea Organised a tea tasting at work where we sampled:

  • 2013 Shou Mei White Tea Cake
  • Blooming jasmine flower tea
  • Osmanthus scented Tie Guan Yin
  • Long Jing

The aged white definitely made an impression on people new to unbagged tea

I'm always a little nervous about Long Jing Dragonwell green tea. It's sort of a situation like Italian Extra Virgin Olive Oil, where it seems like there is more Italian Extra Virgin olive oil on the market than could be grown in Italy. Same for Long Jing Dragonwell, it seems like there is more Dragonwell tea on the market than could possibly be grown in Long Jing Village. Plus, I had a really bad body experience once with Dragonwell green tea.

In any case, this is a very nice Dragonwell, "Mr Long's Studio," from One River Tea, toasty nutty scent, sweet chestnut flavor, clean light taste, even oversteeped.

@tea

Spent green tea leaves.

@ellestad @tea I had my first sip of Longjing (without knowing what it was at the time) near the entrance of a buddhist temple in Hangzhou; the shop was about to close but the owners insisted that I try something special, and didn't even rush me to buy anything. I remember being very confused receiving this tall glass full of boiling water and leaves floating inside, without cup or a strainer :P

But I've never been able to find that same tasting experience with stuff I purchased from overseas.

On my most recent birthday I drank some of my 88 qing bing, which by now is down to not much more than the bing wo, sad to say.

What did you drink for your last birthday?

@terence The layering makes me wonder how it would look as a backlit shadowbox 🤔

Known wrecks of Sable Island, Nova Scotia, Canada since 1583 two ways (left with labels, right without labels). Requested and made possible by @baptnz (thank you!).

This took forever to label but which one do you prefer?

@terence Nice! I'm curious about the labeling difficulty – I would have thought ggplot would make it relatively straightforward to generate those as a vector layer with identical coord extent, and then superpose the two layers? Or do you render the labels in ray* too?

turbobureaucrat, to NoStupidQuestions

there is Guppe with its wonderful groups. I enjoy the @tea there, but can’t find anything about the geeky things. Is there something?🙂

(Attaching the photo of pancakes as my apology for this toot being not on the tea-related topic)🙃

@turbobureaucrat @tea geeky things such as the process for culotter une billig?

@terence actually there's a relatively highres map at https://epe.lac-bac.gc.ca/100/205/301/ic/cdc/sableisland/english_en/history_hi/graveyard_gr/treasures_gr.htm

no idea what I'm doing here, but this seems to be on the right track (toward collision)

All earthquakes of Africa greater than M2.5, 1923 to 2023. I didn't think it'll come to this but I'm all out of ideas. Tried a break but still nothing. Maybe I'm spent and should find a new hobby—3+ years ain't bad I suppose.

@terence I feel I've not seen much of the water world – maybe a glowing map of global coral reefs? The shipwrecks around Sable Island. The whale migration superhighways. The Cthulhu-like dark-glowing species lurking in the immeasurable depths whenceforth no path can be traced. Historical sightings of mermaids.
