Could you get a close enough result by baking a loaf in a large can, like a coffee can? I've heard of this but never actually tried it. You'd get a round loaf but not the longitudinal corrugations.

More Everything Forever This "smart and wonderfully readable" (New York Times) exposé shows why Silicon Valley’s heartless, baseless, and foolish obsessions—with escaping death...

Not an essay (so I'm afraid not exactly what you're asking for) but there is quite a bit in Adam Becker's More Everything Forever and he ties it in with various other related movements/tendencies.

And well worth reading — just read it a few months ago.

I'd like a copy. Thank you.

I don't know because I can't find them all to count. I'm pretty sure it's at least six though, definitely if you count the tiny pocket ones

Mundane bike errand - vegetables

All three in the course of a single library visit + (4), the one looking out the window at birds, clouds etc. And when I'm 1 I'm busily and silently reading something that isn't what I came to the library for but it's just so interesting I can't help myself.

Mundane bike errand - cat food

These projects are all fantastic...

Having stayed up past my bedtime last night finishing Bury the Lead I'm happy to see this. I've requested it from the library. I hope they're getting lots of copies because I'm #32 in the queue.

Is this part of the new addition/extension on the back? I don't remember this from when I used to spend a lot of time at Robarts (admittedly a long, long time ago.)

It's the 100th anniversary of this photo, and it still goes harder than anything on the Internet.

After reading this thread I'm afraid (not for the first time) that I mispronounce everything.

Don't worry. I've been hunching for way more than forty years and I'm not dead yet. Think of sitting in weird positions as a form of stretching. It's good for you.

I never actually used one but when I was a bike messenger I'd sometimes have to pick them up at CAA. Seeing the people make them was incredible - they were so fast, drawing lines as though they didn't have to think about the routes at all.

I love this

Esther Simpson is most known for her work with academics fleeing the Nazis. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esther_...

I wonder if DND still has the plans for en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defence... in a dusty filing cabinet. We may need to ready our flying columns for a lightning strike on Grand Falls and Fargo.

I don't think it's contentious to discuss how a huge number of people struggle to integrate enough movement into their daily lives and how regularly pedaling a bike leads to all sorts of physical upsides that on a large scale can have big public-health impacts.

Time for winter tires already? Eek! I suppose I should go rummaging in the tire bin.

#Coffeeneuring #7 - mostly on paths, including some I hadn't been on before. Through Carleton, across Hartwell Locks, through Experimental Farm then further west until I ran out of path. Back along some slightly different paths and had coffee at Happy Goat at Bank and Hopewell. #OttBike

Upper part of a red bike with green-taped drop bars and a front basket in front of the Ottawa Bike Cafe. The bike's rear rack is decorated with a string of jack-o-lantern lights. There are tables and chairs behind the bike and in front of the shopfront.

A tall, black, insulated travel mug and a book, entitled Wonderstruck on a cafe table. The lid of the mug is off to the right. There is a lot of reflection from the book cover.

Yesterday's #coffeeneuring - #6 - along the canal to OPL Main branch to pick up @helendecruz.net's Wonderstruck then to Ottawa Bike Cafe for coffee. Back via canal, Riverdale and the Alta Vista branch to pick up more books. Gloomy and cold to start but turned into a nice day. #coffeeneuring2024

A head-on picture of a red bike with flared drop bars with green tape and a front basket full of Halloween candy. The front basket has a string of ghost-shaped lights and the rear rack has a string of jack-o-lantern lights.

Front quarter view of a red bike with flared drop bars with green tape and a front basket with a large illumenated Jack-o-lantern. It is dark and the decorative lights on the front basket and rear rack are bright but their shapes (ghosts and jack-o-lanterns respectively) are indistinct.

Halloween coffeeneuring - #5 - a short ride in search of more candy. Of course once I got back with the candy resupply the trick-or-treaters stopped arriving. And I had to have iced tea because all the coffee was gone. A nice ride though. #coffeeneuring2024

A red bike with a front basket, a helmet in the basket, leaning against a coffee shop wall and window. A table in the foreground with a travel mug and a book on it. Book title is Politics Recoded.

Coffeeneuring #2 today. To @octopusbooks.ca to pick up a book I'd ordered (Politics recoded / @aschrock.bsky.social) then to Bridgehead for coffee. Home via Bronson, Brewer Park, the new bike/pedestrian bridge at Carleton, Hog's Back and Brookfield. #coffeenuering #OttBike

Coffeeneuring backlog. Coffeeneuring #1 was last Sunday. Up the Sawmill Creek path to check out the new bike crossing over Hunt Club and the path alongside the LRT south route. The path is rideable but not really finished. Then back to the South Keys Starbucks for coffee. #coffeenuering #OttBike

They are smooshing their little faces right this minute

Love this picture
