  1. Victorian engravers were often incredibly skilled. What looks at first sight to be a quick sketch can be very skilfully put together.

    Here is a piece that looks like a charcoal sketch, but represents an oil painting (linked to in the description). I prefer the engraving here: the lady is actually reading. What do you think?

  16. There are some games that feel round and refined, while others seem awkward and difficult. So in this article, I want to investigate what it is that makes a game perfectly designed.

  19. "free coffee" like a "free lunch (doesn't exist much these days)

    I was writing about chocolate + coffee and realised it's regularly used at petrol stations or a give-away / loyalty schemes etc to lure people or get them into something.

    It helps that my chemistry doesn't readily want / identify with these liquid-crap / over-sugary products, and maybe I identified how capitalism uses them so it's very political.

    I don't want to sound like I'm insulting things purely on their purity (over-pure) and politics (over-extraction) and who supplies it (Capitalism people who are surely no good) but I guess I am, and hope you consider making the change to reduce consumption back to rationed levels and making it special again.

    I don't doubt the grandmas giving choc to kids as being "nice" but I think they could do better considering the influx over the years and invasion from Easter Eggs to Christmas to Valentines etc but I realise all this also as stimulant, brain or body thing which is why Capitalism I think uses it (over-extended people's energy even if they crash / puke from limits).

    Anyway main examples are;
    █ petrol stations (x tank fills = 1 coffee, stamps or cards)
    intahnet.co.uk/@mhamzahkhan/11
    █ Coffee machines at work as deliberately
    cheaper access / deal with manufacturers. And also internal incentives for best workers or teams.
    intahnet.co.uk/@mhamzahkhan/11
    █ (forgot the next one)

    Even good coffee shops / protest places where you drink a certain coffee for 'Zapatistas' to support people home and away can be too habit forming...

    I do understand any movement needs to be funded (from Capitalism to Zapatistas en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zapatist) and don't even knock that completely (Black / Native people's need this funding, but as Capitalism is so good you do have to wonder how and why it's been made and literally "pushed" everywhere because Capitalist patterns are 99% for self-interest
    (tempting to say 100% actually!).

    Buying into things usually is political. Coffee anyone? :coffeepot: (Na I'll just have a tea, mint or nettles from your garden if you have!)

    ========================
    ALTERNATIVES / REPLACEMENTS / HEALTHIER ADDICTIONS ?
    ========================
    🍒 🌸 🍐 🍒 I'm eating a lot of cherries for example since I have access to trees on the way or around and there is literally 100's on the tree!

    For cold / hot tea, some fast growing mint or nettles from your garden can help...

    Finding fruit or leaves if you need replacement can be better and more fun than the more er synthetic / processed stuff...

  20. rebased my test box to #Kinoite #nightly. Damn if the plasma 6 alpha doesn't have some awesome refinement.

    Love the new layouts in settings and discover. Was expecting to hate the default floating panel - but its actually been made much better than it was in plasma5.

    Looking forward to running the beta on my main machine when it's tagged

  25. 多晶冰糖 or Polycrystalline rock #sugar is an #ingredient used in #Thai and other Southeast #Asian #cuisines.
    Less refined than #WhiteSugar, it’s thought to be “healthier,” although it’s still sugar.
    However, because it is less #refined, it is less #sweet and has more #savory characteristics, making it great to sweeten certain dishes (or tea) without over-sweetening them. #多晶冰糖
