Hmm, yeah, that's a bummer. Not sure what other astringent beverage would work well in this. Defo not tea of cocoa, tried and yucky.

This is best done using a small sieve. Cool the Tiramisu in the fridge for at least four hours, best for a whole day. (End, was 4 posts in the end and I forgot the counting, sigh)

Lay them carefully in a layer on the mascarpone. Over the layer of biscuits, spread more of the mascarpone mix. And so on, until you end up with at least three layers of biscuit. End with a layer of mascarpone, dust it with the cocoa.

Make the coffee and put in a bowl. In another bowl mix sugar and egg yolks until foamy, then add the mascarpone. Mix until completely smooth. Add a little of the mix into the bottom of a rectangular form. Dunk the biscuits in the coffee, but not too long, lest they get soggy.

Your mention of APL is quite apt here, in a way you didn't intend. There's lovely "one page" implementations of K and J floating about with C macros. There's also the real deal J implementation. Check out lines 1000 onwards for eye watering macros in github.com/jsoftware/js...

I really really want to like the Canadian drama Trickster, but all the continuity errors are annoying me so much, I sometimes miss what's going on. I'm now looking out for them, which is doubly distracting.

There's that joke about panicking you might have caught covid before remembering with deep relief that you are just in Germany and have not actually lost your sense of taste.

"Not all men" is a magic incantation you use to absolve yourself of your sins. Sometimes I try harder, sometimes less, I am always lacking. You can do better, always. And don't expect a pat on the back for doing something that should be commonplace.

Men say "not all men", yet not a single one of the 57 men in that WhatsApp chat protested or called the cops or anything. And evidently none of the 100s of men who would have seen Dominique Pelicot's online invitations to rape his unconscious wife turned him in. That makes it look like all men!

A few minutes later zoomed back at highest speed and lost footing on the metal window sill, to just manage hooking a claw into the frame and haul its ass inside. My heart dropped into my pants watching that. We had a good long cuddle afterwards to recover.

One of the more frightening things a cat of mine did, was to zoom out onto the scaffolding in between me opening the window and putting some netting in front. 'Twas timed to perfection. This is on the fourth floor, mind.

One of my external USB drives is filling up. It's a 4 TB SSD that I bought in 2023. So I idly thought, I'll get another one then and split the files across. Wrong! A 2 TB one now costs twice the money I paid for the 4 TB. What the hell do regular people use for external storage these days?

I really need to get round to moving away from gmail! I "just" need to decide on a new provider, forward gmail there and start the looong process of adjusting all the bits where my email address is used. Shame I cannot go back to using my own direct email setup anymore, that world no longer exists.

Everyone doing a tableflip because a left party got the most votes the Berlin elections is absolutely wild. It's only "concerning" when an extreme right wing party wins, but "there have to be consequences" when a moderately left wing wins. Political discussions are really quite pointless these days.

Just listening to Helmet's first album, Strap It On, and when Sinatra came on, I had an immediate throwback to listening to syndicated John Peel back in the day in Berlin, thinking "that's allowed in metal?!?" Slow, hard, noisy, emotionally wrecking, and oh so tight. youtu.be/SGmRh89q24E

It is quite wild that closure of one tunnel and part of one (admittedly very wide) street is causing utter traffic mayhem in the centre of Berlin since yesterday. I mostly cycle through a park to work, but still saw two car accidents and many angry drivers. Bad times for pedestrians and cyclists.

Watching Johnny Mnemonic for the first time since it first came out. Feels so 80s, even though it's mid 90s. I remember Keanu Reeves & Ice-T, but not Takeshi Kitano, Henry Rollins and Udo Kier 😅 Such a wooden script, it's almost comical.

Fabulous new video by Dabda, who play korean jazz math pop rock, some songs are more math than others, this one is quite gentle on the math. Don't be put off by the thumbnail here, it's mostly _not_ anime style. Nicely inventive and goes so well with the music www.youtube.com/watch?v=HoFH...

Should clarify that I mean regular home stereo speakers. By small I mean these handheld bluetooth thingies. When I first put it on in my living room, I was very surprised by what came out of my cheap speakers, have no idea how this mix accomplishes that 😅

When listening to Implosion by The Bug & Ghost Dubs on real speakers, I am always blown away by the clean bass and the depth overall. Gets lost on small speakers or headphones tho, still sounds great, just missing the insane physical low end. thebugvsghostdubs.bandcamp.com/album/implos...
