Sure, the defaults are elegant, but they are constant reminders that you’re ultimately building castles in someone else’s sandbox, which is sad and unfortunate when you’re trying to build the coolest castle you can.This is about far more than merely being able to customize the look of your site, although that is clearly important too.#IndieWeb

@navalang That would be owning your own domain and using #indieweb building blocks, at least as a start.

@CharlesCMann Bad enough having a Twitter thread as the canonical source for a good point, but when the original tweet has been deleted that makes it even worse. I don’t want to attribute bad faith to @jasonhickel, but what else can I do?

Very happy with the service from @widefitshoes A pair of shoes were not up to scratch – not their fault at all – and they agreed to send out a replacement with no argument. That is how it should be. If you need wider fittings, I highly recommend, and their foot-measuring chart makes it easy.

On second thoughts, maybe the reason my Aeropress plunger has never slipped is that I brew upside down. So the water is heating the rubber while the grounds are brewing. And the rubber expands more than the plastic of the cylinder.
