A space for mostly short form stuff and responses to things I see elsewhere.
Finishing touches done for this week's Eat This Newsletter, with the Catherine Effect, from @BienassisLoic, not the pizza effect, from @NPR, groundnuts in The Gambia, and the horrible Hamlet Fire, from @BryantSimon. Sign up at https://buttondown.email/jeremycherfas
I've never really been an outliner sort of person, although I know I should try harder. So I'm taking a look at [bike](https://bikeguide.hogbaysoftware.com/) and really liking it. Much more intuitive than things I've used before, so it may stick. Need to check that Save As script.

New issue of Eat This Newsletter out now, with raw material provided by @kitchenbee @historicuk @minimaxir and a minor kerfuffle in the august pages of @PNASNews.

Biggest mistake I ever made was starting a "free trial" of @RealVNC because now my original Home VNC Viewer no longer works and I cannot find a way to revert.
Not surprised that only 25% of people found this useful https://help.realvnc.com/hc/en-us/articles/360003474552#on-the-device-you-want-to-control-from-0-4
Latest issue of Eat This Newsletter is about to drop, racing through the backlog so normal service can be restored ASAP. There's hops, heritage grains and climate change, plus agricultural policy in South Africa and the US.

Slightly puzzled by Epilogue for MB for those of us who do not have a paid account. Does it feed my timeline, eventually? If it does, I might consider PESOS rather than indiebookclub and POSSE. Also, two way traffic, to open someone’s link in MB would encourage conversation.
