Well, I didn't *miss* the "edit" feature here, but over there at @olafk@norden.social I've used it twice today, for minor edits that made sense (better than delete/repost). I like it. UX for the win when elsewhere (sic!) the trajectory goes down.

@DolfDoofinsky @VinnieTortorich Sorry, late reply: Why should I jump through hoops to pay for something, where the owner/distributor has explicitly expressed disinterest in selling to me based on geography? And risk violating license terms? (Finally found it on youtube - still puzzled - no answer necessary)

@olafk @VinnieTortorich Get a VPN. Then you can "fake" your country and watch what you want.

@VinnieTortorich is there any ETA for when I'm allowed to pay for "Beyond Impossible" in Germany? Seems still geoblocked, after all this time

@VinnieTortorich Found it for free on YouTube (by Gravitas, so looks benign). Weird that they didn't make it available to purchase first in this part of the world. And still don't... (at least not where I'm looking for it)

That’s crazy, have you tried YouTube TV? #NSNG

@LukasLiebich Thing is: If you bring the wrong (perishable) food, it'll go to waste. If you don't cater for one's person dietary requirements, no food *might* be better. And you should tell people upfront that food is involved, so that they can decide not to have lunch before your meeting.

@LukasLiebich My take: if you intend to bring in food (more than coffee/cookie): ask for preferences upfront and be willing to follow through on a variety of styles, no-go-ingredients etc

So, Twitter wird dieses Jahr nicht mehr besser. Ich nutze das zum abschalten. Bis nächstes Jahr. 😂 (2:0 für @shengfui) twitter.com/shengfui/statu…

Fiete says "Happy New Year" to everybody. And would like some help opening his bottle.

@VinnieTortorich @GravitasVOD I'm wondering if it'll be possible to get hold of "Beyond Impossible" within a year after its initial release, here in Germany. If the answer is "no", I'm wondering about "when".

@buitengebieden Who is keeping the camera so steady and calm?

@tagesschau Ach was... die auch?

@dnuc @sixtus Anekdote: fünfte angefragte Apotheke macht Grippeimpfung, "nach Stiko-Empfehlung". Hat mir den Termin erst gegeben nachdem ich erwähnt habe, dass ich Eltern habe. Lustig, dass es nicht Stiko-Vorschrift heisst.

@AnnaVocino No need to aim so low. I don't see most restaurants as a source for quality - that's different in my own kitchen. Looking forward to the book. I finally bit the bullet and ordered, now I'll just need to make sense of cups, ounces and the like 😃

@buitengebieden Fond memories of Douglas Adams describing the species in "Last chance to see"

@adambrandizzi Canine convention and feline convention, yes.

@olafk Maybe, but there would be no practical difference, since it's forbidden to move cats and dogs from whenever they sleep on, right? 😁

My good old ThinkPad is excellent, but a broken keyboard and dead battery circuit forced me to buy a new laptop. Now the tiresome part for any heavy user: building that setup we cannot live without 😪

@GHGGuru I mean, my steaks are made entirely from plants. Gras to be exact. No fancy 3d printer involved though, but the process most likely involved fermented proteins, has encapsulated fats and heme. Texture and taste? Excellent! Available close to home. Or worldwide, since forever.

And there are folks who celebrate eating 3-D printed vegan items that simulate meat.

I remember saying this a long time ago and receiving strong backlash from the proponents of these ultra-processed products. These folks have become strangely quite these days. I guess that animal source food is still “on” for a while.
