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?

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)🙃

@terence here's one I'd love to see

@terence I could do a scan of that page if that helps?

baptnz,

@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)

baptnz,
@baptnz@vis.social avatar

@terence a bit approximate, but might be good enough: https://gist.github.com/baptiste/d6a72f0483d373ba19b28aaface0a1ae

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.

Working again on similar teas, Osmanthus Scented Qi Hong (qimen/keemun black tea) from MyTeaPal. Pleasantly light osmanthus flavor allows the tea to shine and the osmanthus scent to complement.

@tea

Black tea in the "worm" bowl.

@ellestad @tea MyTeaPal sounds interesting, thinking of trying it out – do you get to choose/pass if one monthly theme doesn't look like your cup of tea? Maybe I'll just try 1 month at first (March fresh greens sounds good :)

uh oh, I feel like tetsubin is trying to tell me it wants to taste some green @tea

is it best to treat rust spots as soon they appear, or wait until it gets quite bad?
