After recent storms there were a few trees blocking my way, and I couldn't get that close anyway.

Yet another plea for proper micropayments that don't gouge payer or payee. Even Patreon has been going down the tubes in this regard. I still fondly remember the original flattr. Couldn't someone, somewhere, please reinvent that.

@JohnPhilpin Wow. That seems like a lot of greed. Do they offer any kind of justification?

@jeremycherfas I haven’t heard one and when I complain the locals just shrug and say what you going to do? The banks do have a very bad rap round here. That said, I think think it is store decision, will see what I can find out .. because it is bloody annoying.

Eat This Podcast latest episode: Crunch Time — Insects Are Not Going to Save Us
Dustin Crummett, executive director of The Insect Institute, tells me why he thinks the puffery about eating insects to save the planet is largely hot air inflating a bubble.

I find it odd that anyone who found the Gutenberg editor in WordPress “deeply frustrating “ would not switch to ClassicPress. Maybe they looked and decided it wasn’t for them; if so, I would love to know why.
I've long known that the sky is polarised, but today I discovered while waking along the beach that rainbows are too. I happened to tilt my head to one side and a rainbow that had been faint and short became much brighter and extended across more of the sky. Strange.
I wish there were some kind of tool that would do a diff between two audio files so I could string together all the ums and ers and I means I've cut out and send them to the person that others praise for being so eloquent and fluent.

I’ve been looking for baggable rabbits, but this graticulette is mostly sea, and even this one was out of reach except at low tide, which wasn’t for about another 6 hours.
Ayjay and lots of other good people wish Word would die in a fire. Me too.
Eat This Newsletter points the finger at
* alt-protein energetics: the sums don't add up
* breastfeeding: formula looks "less like brain damage and more like a really bad kindergarten teacher", and
* food allergies and intolerance: the immune system loses its mind.

@jeremycherfas in New Zealand we don’t have to wait for micro payments for the gouge .. here you just need to wave your card to pay at the till .. and the touch less device adds on the vig .. this is not the same as adding a credit card fee .. they add that Seperately
.. no this applies to debit cards as well .. the only way to guarantee to NOT PAY A FEE at time of purchase is to use a debit card and insert it .. and key in your PIN number.
