Adrian Speed @adrianspeed.bsky.social · 04/10/2026I almost guarantee that comes from the use of an invert syrup. This is approximately 30% sweeter than table sugar and is either added to the confectionary or created by the heating of the ingredients, breaking down the sugar into new molecules. 120

Adrian Speed @adrianspeed.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I think the hal 9000 is pretty accurate. An overpromised machine given too much responsibility that kills people due to its bad programming. The machine that is evil is not the computer, it is the system of business that created it. 000

Adrian Speed @adrianspeed.bsky.social · 01/10/2026The rail and fibre lines were actually just as useless. Conceptually they had use, but in actuality some of the fibre buried in the dot com boom is still dark, and the rail lines built in the railway boom was pulled up and sold for scrap. 020

Adrian Speed @adrianspeed.bsky.social · 27/09/2026There is a theory that the rise of the novel was responsible for the decline in cruel and unusual punishments, by reinforcing empathy to a diverse group of strangers. A novel can put you in someone else's head in a way a film or a game cannot. 030

Adrian Speed @adrianspeed.bsky.social · 23/09/2026The gameboy was crazy low powered tech even when it launched so by the mid-90s it was easy to make it a bargain. Those $80 retro emulators are the same sort of market niche, but without the benefit of mass production on a Nintendo scale. 001

Adrian Speed @adrianspeed.bsky.social · 15/09/2026The Sage of the Winds makes this interpretation complicated, but I like to imagine that they take the human shape when they feel like interacting with humans.
