@stereomike111 Well, that was surprisingly encouraging, albeit on a very small scale.

@Lord_John_Whorfin people aren't impossible to reason with, it's a matter of approach, and picking the discussions that are done in good faith. People leave cults and echo chambers all the time. Most people's motives aren't bad either, that's a dangerous trap of "the other."

This Dr. Katz re-boot is weird as hell.

@ufez would

w00t!!

Amazing.

Also that's a dope scarf, @infini.

Hooray for MLTUPs!

I like this new term. Is it pronounced “melt up?”

Malt up, I reckon.

*malts down*

aka yammmm sennnnngggg ;p

Tervetuluoa from the Potato Farm, fam. Only y'all - mutuals easy and rest y'all choose and manage accordingly - welcome to move to Finland. I'm afraid we might be sanctioned soon. I heard they said that if the EU7 tried to get instex up and running this would happen.

@snarkout My mom brought it for me from Cambodia/Kampuchea - they'd gone to visit Angkor Wat. Its an ancient Hindu temple, very famous in the region for its beautiful carvings.

Hey alright.

Love it!

if you're in town, let me recommend Kosmos. If I had time to eat at only one restaurant while visiting, that would be it. Very much the spirit of the city.

@stereomike111 Thanks for the recommendation. I have another week here, so it sounds like a place to cap off the trip once the work is done!

@wjcstp I wasn't sure if we were using another term for it. I thought for some reason we were using SHKUP for previous meetups, but between the weird daylight hours, my sleep schedule, and generalized anxiety, my memory might have gone off piste.

Do we have a general Shake page for our gatherings?

Looks like a cold day in HEL! I'd say "most exotic MLT-UP locale yet", so kudos, you crazy kids!

@GroggyGrognard (Feels like SHKUP was appropriate in the Before Times, when this was an Andre/Amber joint. I think MLT-UP feels right for the new digs.) Either way, there's no MLT-UP shk that I know of, so let us know if you make one!

I would invite anybody who’s going to visit Copenhagen (nice place) for a future MLTUP

@GroggyGrognard I like MLTUP as a term for meeting - I don’t know that I’ve seen it before, I’m just embracing it.

I like the idea of creating a MLTUP shk for helping to advertise and organize - I’m happy to make one if someone hasn’t beaten me to it.

@Growabrain Sunuvabitch! If my stint here was going to end last Friday as planned, I would have had an 16 hour layover tomorrow! Well, shoot. My luck for MLTUPs continue!

@GroggyGrognard ?....

So you are NOT going to be here tomorrow?…

If yes, email me

@Growabrain Unfortunately, you are correct. I'm staying in Helsinki until next Monday, and the outbound flight takes me through Lisbon.

Fab! If I ever get unscared, I'll start visiting yall

@groggygrognard we're going for the Lappish dinner where you will have stir fried reindeer with potato mousse

Guys, the idiot in black photo bombing my selfie wearing glasses and a goofy expression is Lars Mikki of the Urban Mill. I told @GroggyGrognard that it felt like the whole startup ecosystem was milling around me everytime we were outside. Its so rude and embarrassing that Finland doesn't trust Americans anymore and make it a point to show it. Groggy is my friend and we have a mutual friend in common, someone I went to high school with in the early 80s. My mom said to say hi to yours.

That was lovely. Thanks.

Cool article, thanks for posting these

As mentioned @ https://mltshp.com/p/1HQ5G I live in Copenhagen /København and would suggest a #mltup with whoever comes to visit

Um -https://mltshp.com/meetup

but mltup is so much better

Seize him!

the day i woke up vomiting blood

What nerdery is this???

Please explain

A very relaxing accompaniment to my morning coffee. The month by month playlist gets deeply nerdy, looks like. Watched one early stage (Month 2). These are good.

Wow. This was wonderful.

I love his channel... :) and Satie never gets boring!

@Growabrain Basically he proves you can maintain an aquascape with little technology...quite the opposite of the trends in this field. Check ADA channel the japanese masters that created Lisbon's worlds biggest aquascape

Geologists and paleontologists do this too! This is one of my favorite bits in teaching fieldwork technique to fresh geology students.

Also I've worn out my front teeth a little bit from biting on shales and other fine grained rocks to see if they are more clay rich or more silty, the mouth is incredibly sensitive to micron sized differences in particles.

@williwaw I'll let you know if someone posts t-shirt info :D

Missing the note that this came /after/ it was noted that honey doesn't ever go bad, as confirmed by archaeologists who later tasted it https://www.reddit.com/r...

I have lost count of the number of people (non archaeologists) who have been revolted by me (archaeologist) putting bone to my tongue... also never a human bone, that know of

Or someone set up the sign board as a second monitor by mistake.

YES

A+++ naan

are you cooking these in a griddle or pan? they look fantastic.

@nikkuneko just a pan. I am philosophically opposed to the griddle, it is my nemesis, a griddle murdered my family and I can never forgive them.

@BigChrisDid my father was a griddle, and my mother was a pan. now she’s dead. never turn your back on a griddle.

seriously, though, right on. they look great. i may have to try your technique out sometime soon. (i tend to just use a pan for tortillas, so this is up my alley.)

@nikkuneko *sighs. gets out jack hammer and starts digging up the slab under the garage. Within is a black box. I open the box. It contain a bolt action angle grinder with a solid state 3 – 20 x 50 scope*

I'm sorry old friend, but it's time to come out of retirement. Remember, we promised, no mum goes unavenged!

These look dee-lish. It's midnight local and I want nothing more than to jam a few of these in my, uh, naanhole. Maybe some green chutney or tzaziki for dipping.

This fucken David Brooks is still soiling paper?

OK, this checks out.

I may not be real but it’s not wrong.

Literary truth

I laughed aloud

Maximum David Brooks

@Growabrain Yep. And he, along with Bret Fucking Stevens, Ross Asshat Douthat, and a few others are still very well paid by The Paper of Record to write about how they now are shocked, SHOCKED to find that — after year upon year of their Reagan/Bush beatifying — we are in this, our current shitfest. Totally unexpected! Who could have known?

The really sad thing about the NYT is that there is all kinds of interesting and good reporting going on in various parts of the paper, and it's ALL getting shit on by this outrageously awful centrism they scrupulously observe. Not just the op-ed pages - if that were all, then who cares - but on the front page, too.

First one that I love

that's good enough for me

@mcmjolnir That was C and Cookie. As a cookie person, I cannot let that stand unchallenged.

Also, it me

Not very didactic to exemplify with words that use a different pronounciation of the phonem?

@mashcan cookies are groovy, no?

@mcmjolnir okay you're right

could be worse
