For one thing, it’s a lot easier to call yourself a “nutritionist”. Then again, where do food scientists work except in industry, or training more food scientists?

I wrote about reviving my sourdough after an extended absence.

@TavolaMed At last. Thanks for saying it loud and clear: farro is spelt and einkorn and emmer, and the point is that they are traditionally grown as a mixture, all three in the same fields. So yes, farro is all three, but on their own none of them is farro.

I’d certainly pay for an app that used RSS (or similar) to aggregate photographers' streams. Heck, I’d even exert pressure on my own favourite photographer to create a dedicated photo stream. I’ve kickstartered less promising pitches. h/t @chrisaldrich

Very good to know.

But seriously: why does it seem so weird to pay for a podcast, when I pay for music, films, TV etc?And answer came there none.

I managed to restore my Apple Time Capsule to proper working order, I think, but how sensible is it, really, to have the reset button and the status lights on opposite sides of the device?

I’m pretty sure that I will also continue to refer to them as blog posts, not blogs. I may be the last holdout of this nomenclature in 2020. I never planned to die on this hill, but here we are.No, @adactio, you are not alone.

What gets me about Jason shaving in the shower is not that he thinks he looks too young, but that he might have solved the problem of a mirror that does not fog up. If I could shave in the shower, gosh, how much more time I’d have to be productive the rest of the day.

Very peeved. Time Machine can no longer see my Time Capsule and neither can I. Tried restarting the computer, but that didn’t help. Don'[t really want to do a factory reset. What else can I try?
