vidíš masť som zabudol kúpiť. Minule sme sa o tom bavili s kuchármi ale už neviem k čomu sme dospeli. Olej nepoužívam vôbec (občas na zemiaky) ale najbližšie potom skúsim masť.
edit: odpočívať znamená ich dať potom ešte do trúby? Brutálne rýchlo chladnú tie stejky...

Some really great books this week.
Someplace Else by D. R. Brown feels like an interconnected set of novellas, following AI as Humanity evolves to the stars.
If Wishes Were Retail by Auston Habershaw is a cosy story about a genie granting wishes in modern society (Alex's dad on the roof was sidesplittingly funny), and Line Magic by Kris Faatz was just such a wholesome, fill-you-up-with-goodness sort of a read.
I also revisited an old sci-fi favourite from the 1960's.

Does anyone have good readings on the disability framework of autonomy? Basically, what does autonomy look like in a disabled body that has lost or is losing capacity?
I'm not sure I'm wording this correctly, I kind of have a very vague notion about what this is in the first place.
Updated to add: I have created this list on Mille feuilles with some of the suggested readings in book form in the comments. Thank you so much! millefeuilles.cloud/list/97/s/… (However it's worth digging into the replies below anyway, several very interesting articles and online ressources have also been shared!)
I loved this one, it radicalized me.

The Right Not to Work: Power and Disability
I have a confession to make: I do not work. I am on SSI.1 I have very little work value (if any), and I am a drain on our country’s welfare system.Sunny Taylor (Monthly Review)

I've been to their office. The solar panels are to the north of the building.
I haven't had their coffee for a while.
Thanks for the reminder ☕
@matthew we had a chat before we opened our cafe about possibly being a Wonderstate cafe and my wife could operate a commercial bakery to provide all the products to their cafes but it wasn't a good fit at the time
My wife's scones, cookies, and cupcakes blow away the stuff sold in coffee shops. She has some very refined recipes.
I'll try to message you soon using DeltaChat to talk more. I've been following your posts on it. Haven't tried it out since then, though, and would like to.
I tried out DeltaChat years ago.
@matthew It's much improved, but it's always disheartening to see the threads where people continue to make false assumptions about how it works or what is even possible in this ecosystem. A few of the remaining privacy checkboxes that concern people are going to be taken care of soon, and then they'll have to invent new reasons why it's not secure enough
Meanwhile they'll keep telling people they should use Signal which only makes sense if you can actually access Signal in your country. "The best" tool being designed in a way that makes it impossible to use by people who need it most is pretty goddamn stupid
