Hire Emelia if you’ve got web problems and she’ll make them go away, and also probably fix 10 other things you didn’t even know about.

@mahryekuh @welshpixie @annika Oh, is that why suddenly everyone is doing it? I had assumed it was some kind of bottle fashion.

Welp. I guess we all just suffer, then.

I got a COVID vaccination and a flu vaccination yesterday morning. One in each arm.

I’m very grateful, but also ALL MY MUSCLES ARE SORE.

I would like to lie down now please.

@ivolimmen I’m sure it’s spotty, but @mahryekuh reports some! Maybe it’ll spread.

I am very jealous of the UK (and NL?) snow right now.

Just a lot of rain here.

The forecast suggests we might get some on Thursday…

@thisismissem I think you are probably more clued in than me. ^_^

I bought a Niche Zero about 5 years ago, and I plan on making it last my entire life, give or take. So apart from watching Hoffmann's videos because I find him pretty funny, I don't know what I'm talking about.

@thisismissem Oh, can you get them with burrs? I’ve only seen blades, but I guess I’m a few years out of date.

Sounds perfect. I hope you find an excellent one.

@thisismissem Very fair.

Seems that he’s just published a new one with sub-£250 espresso grinders, if that’s what you’re making. I agree that CoffeeGeek will probably be more comprehensive though.

@thisismissem You might find this useful too: https://youtu.be/3VohJapkObs

@thisismissem Oh, forgot about that. It’s been a few years for me!

(I probably ground a lot of coffee beans last time I was at SoCraTes, but I have managed to block out that memory.)

There are very few things in life better than making coffee for someone else.

@mahryekuh We Northern Europeans are miserable people, it seems!

Fortunately, we can change that. I’m gonna give it a day and then invent one.

Is there a name for the feeling of being happy for someone else, because of their situation or success?

A positive equivalent to jealousy?

(Maybe there’s a German word?)

Dear Signal,

If I have muted and archived a conversation, I do not want it to reappear every time that person writes to me.

Sincerely,

Samir.

EDIT: There’s a setting for that, and I didn’t see it! https://infosec.exchange/@bacteriostat/113493058403508128

Feature request for Mastodon (and Ivory in particular): a popup that says, “This person doesn’t follow you and probably doesn’t know who you are. Do you want to rephrase this message accordingly?”

Currently the best thread on Fedi.

I wish there was a Mastodon button to subscribe to new posts for a specific thread.

@Edent I think this is your best one yet. I found it absolutely believable.

@matt @skinnylatte Totally! There’s a few fucking great restaurants, and I appreciate them very much.

(Except Malaysian. I’m yet to find good Malaysian food. I would appreciate tips.)

@skinnylatte @matt Yeah, Paris has the wonderful advantage of being a place where many chefs from all around the world train. And then some of them go back to making their home cuisine, with extra butter. (I approve of the extra butter.)

@skinnylatte @matt The word “just” is doing some heavy lifting there. But I would love that!

We’re in London a couple times per year. That’s when we get the good food.

And, funnily enough, you get good Asian food (of many varieties) in Interlaken. It’s the only place in the country I’ve found good Punjabi samosas. The huge influx of Asian tourists helps a lot with keeping the food decent.
