Shopping
09/10/2016 - If there's one thing I love, it's a green tomato and if I ever see them for sale, I buy them.
One of the most memorable things I've ever eaten was a pretty basic salad of green tomatoes, in Majorca in 2003. It's making my mouth water, just thinking about it..
They're a very good example of how supermarkets lead to restricted options, because you'll never see anything but very ripe ones for sale there. This picture was taken at the now-defunct Torrens Market, which was a proper 20-eggplants-for-$8 market, rather than $25-for-a-macaroon market.
Took a couple of photos at the nearby Garden Island Dolphin Sanctuary the same morning, which I've tagged onto this post.

Gremolata muthafucka
3/10/206 - I'd made some gremolata. Delicious.
It's a nice pic. It made me think, "Must make some gremolata!"
I reckon these close-up food pics were taken on my Canon DSLR, rather than the crappy phone camera.
Here it comes again
03/10/16 - One of the nice things about living where I live is running along the foreshore. In fact, I have run up and down its length so often that I completely take it for granted.
One of the things that I like most about it is when you can see a weather front coming in across the ocean. That's what's happening in this pic.
There'll be a lot of this type of photo as we go along, I expect.

Some experimentation with Chaos Game.
For those unfamiliar with Chaos Game, it's a mathematical experimentation (not really a "game") which applies some constraints to randomness, so order and pattern will emerge from it.
For example: you have an equilateral triangle and you start at the topmost vertex of it. You randomly choose between the three vertices, then you place a point exactly in the middle between the current coordinates and the chosen vertex. You repeat the process indefinitely, choosing another vertex and placing a point midway between the current coordinates (it's now a place inside the triangle) and the chosen vertex. Gradually, you'll start to notice a pattern, in this exact case, you'll end up with a Sierpinski triangle.
The more random and unbiased the randomness, the more quality the end result will have.
You can change parameters. For example, you can change the geometrical shape (e.g. a pentagon instead of a triangle), or you can change the ratio (i.e. how far from the current coordinate to the next coordinate: instead of going half the way, you can choose to go 1/3 (0.3333...) of the way, or you can even extrapolate past the next coordinate with a ratio bigger than 1). You can choose to not repeat the previous coordinate, or you can choose to not choose a neighboring vertex, and so on... Different constraints will result in different results, sometimes a fuzzy cloud of dots, sometimes a pattern.
It's interesting to see patterns emerging from randomness.
(I tried to send two pictures, but one of them got an error while I tried to upload...)

Het is eindelijk zover: na vijftien afschuwelijke maanden is er een staakt-het-vuren in Gaza! Maar het lijden, de bezetting en de strijd voor vrijheid gaan door. Nu hebben we de kans om invloedrijke leiders ervan te overtuigen om Palestina te erkennen als land -- zodat gerechtigheid, waardigheid en duurzame vrede een kans krijgen. Teken nu voor een vrij Palestina!

Things I have no interestt in seeing:
Politics, posts in foreign languages that I don't understand, posts with obscenities, bickering over who joins what network, posts about what leaders of various networks do, vegan activism/ promotion, images without descriptions, world affairs (non-Western), posts about mental health, etc.
Things I am Constantly Seeing
Politics, posts in foreign languages that I don't understand, more politics, posts with obscenities, bickering over who joins what network, posts about what leaders of various networks do, yet more politics, vegan activism/ promotion, images without descriptions (very rare here, thankfully), still more politics, world affairs and wars (non-Western), posts about mental health, and you guessed it, even more politics! At least I don't see all of the inspirational/love yourself, or religious posts. Those are just as annoying.
Posts I Would Like to See:
Animals (especially cats and birds), plants, insects, high culture (theatre, classical music, fine dining, literature, fashion, etc.), cooking/recipes, history, science for non-scientists, technology (not just how to write websites or who's doing what in the Fediverse), audio games, good news, interesting discussions, people's daily lives (yes, I know this is not Dreamwidth), etc.

I may have been pissed, but I'm still practical.
3/10/16 - A screenshot of a recent drunk online purchase. You can't beat a good shopping bag.
Looking back, after something like six years' sobriety, it's quite shocking to see how central alcohol was to my life.
As it turned out, these bags were pretty crappy.
Belgrado
02/10/16 - The final post from what was a busy Sunday, shows the post-post punk band Belgrado from Barcelona, playing at The Metro in Adelaide. (I had to consult a friend with more memory than me to recall the name, to be honest).
I do remember that they were quite good, and the singer's blonde bob swished about quite magnificently.
These posts from, like nine years ago, also show how far phone cameras have come in that time.

"The UCP has opened up the Eastern Slopes to coal mining. They aren't protecting our water, agricultural industries, or tourism opportunities. I know this isn't what Albertans want. Keep emailing, calling, protesting. There is too much at stake to let them do this."

Deleting 2 years of reels from facebook in 10 minutes
I posted a lot of #reels to #instagram between 2022 and 2024. At the time, my instagram and #facebook accounts were linked and any IG reel was also create under my facebook account. Today I found js code that will delete all your photos and modified it to delete my reels. It was a little sad to watch them go - especially the ones of my pets and garden. Oh well. I still have to deal with then on instagram, but that's for another day.

"Jeg opfatter det ikke som snyd og bedrag. Det står ret tydeligt på Trumps hjemmeside, at man ikke skal anse det som en investering eller forvente at få noget igen, forklarer Mads Eberhardt."
Shit, man skal være smooth-brained for ikke at synes at den pump-n-dump memecoin er ren snyd og bedrag.

Militant Kindergarten is a 15-week seminar that is part of a larger project of militant formation through group study, analysis, and discussion. During Militant Kindergarten, we read and study especifismo, a revolutionary current of anarchism coming from Latin America that, today, has become relevant around the world. We do this primarily by reading Social Anarchism and Organisation by the FARJ (the Anarchist Federation of Rio de Janeiro) and our own condensed version of the text called “104 Steps to Recovery of the Social Vector”. By reading the main text on our own and the abridged version together, we aim to refine and develop our understanding of anarchist theory, strategy, and militancy. From our close readings, we plan to discuss precise expressions, concepts, and theories.
This study will be rigorous and challenging, so it’s important that we practice collective solidarity with fellow participants. We encourage everyone to reach out to others to discuss kindergarten and build relationships that will last beyond this project. Our objective is as much about relationship building as it is about gaining knowledge. This is why we see value in combining radicalizing and radicalized people in the same learning process.
The Center for Especifismo Studies (CES) aims to create a dependably safe and welcoming environment for learning and participating. All of the organizers have attended this seminar in the past, and after finishing the sessions, we invite anyone who’s interested to join us in organizing future Militant Kindergartens.
