A teapet cannot steep into the same tea twice, because it is not the same tea, and she is not the same teapet

no offence, but I think something's been Clauding your judgment
Why, yes, officer, I do have something to declare. Montreal bagels are tasty
Dancing polar bear is getting mixed reactions from the teapet crowd
Montréal brew utensil (forgot to bring a filter 🙃)
Not sure what wuyi rock @tea@fedigroups.social this is but not my favourite from the selection I got there - a bit of a harsh ashy taste
Oxidative stress is bad for you
Try reducing stress
Ok, now you’re feeling more energetic, time to connect you to the grid

When I cook after a Sunday run it invariably brings this episode to mind https://theoatmeal.com/comics/running2
Oh no, the pigeons have come again - can’t tell if they remember the bread from last week, or just figure that the balcony excrements are a promising sign

@121ann@mastodon.social at least the ducks are not in a raw batter this time
Hoping this Guinness soda bread episode 2 turns out better 🙏
Your teapet is gathering a lot of attention @121ann@mastodon.social

@jonocarroll@fosstodon.org It's not that I chickened out, or that that road has been crossed, but I did not even know this!

grrr's name follows the recursive acronym convention where the first letter stands for grrr

grrr's structures, grab_bag and grab_atom, are kind of like grobs but more like tibbles, so you can join, filter, etc.
callisto enables an interesting approach to literate programming in typst: a companion ipynb is created (and.or you import an existing one) for code chunks to be executed, and the results are weaved back in (with a makefile orchestrating those steps)

@kjhealy@mastodon.social full disclosure, and I hate that it's the case, but most of the code was LLM generated (though I do have some experience that helped me steer it away from dark corners)
Progress report: pretty much everything works except for clipping to viewport, but that's not often needed.
Really excited with the prospect of letting typst handle typography (math included...), and that default fonts etc. can be overridden.

Nostalgia – a year ago already I was leaving Hangzhou after two amazing months of travel in China
Let tea momentarily brush aside our concerns about the times to come
teapet: we're going to need a bigger brush
ah yes, the early morning waikato fog

@babelcarp @tea I'm quite enjoying them as well, especially when I feel like a tea break but the caffeine would normally make me regret it. I might try another vendor when I run out as shipping is a big deterrent.
I got the Bitterleaf yabao with a recent order but I think it's a white tea style from buds, rather than a crassicolumna, and my preference so far is for the red tea from CC leaves.

life hack: if you're going to work from home on a Sunday, make your tea breaks as unreasonably distracting as you can

Saturday tea break trying a random sample that came with a TXS package
Qianjiazhai Wild Crassicolumna Yabao @tea@fedigroups.social
somewhat resinous taste and mouthfeel but nice aroma and a good way to relax in the evening without worrying about caffeine or overbrewing. I do prefer the black tea so far, to my surprise
I’m now one of these deep pour resin guys ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Already a year ago I picked up this pu'er @tea@fedigroups.social cake at the Jioufen teahouse, and its smell immediately brings back Taiwan memories

TIL Camellia crassicolumna in Yunnan looks a lot like tea but without caffeine – quite keen to try some, that would potentially be a very nice late afternoon replacement
feels like my camera hasn't seen light for toolong that the mechanical shutter doesn't remember to close in time

@terence Neat! I wonder if you could go colorando the streams based on their orientation like Nadieh did with pi digits – https://www.visualcinnamon.com/2015/01/exploring-art-hidden-in-pi/
Aotearoa-made @tea@fedigroups.social – tested high tea at Zealong yesterday, surprisingly their green tea turned out to be my favourite, even though the varietal was imported from Taiwan with high mountain oolongs in mind
