TIL There's an ISO standard for brewing tea

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3103

"ISO 3103 is a standard published by the International Organization for Standardization (commonly referred to as ISO), specifying a standardized method for brewing tea, possibly sampled by the standardized methods described in ISO 1839"

And Ireland wasn't happy because it omitted prewarming the pot:
"Ireland was the only country to object, and objected on technical grounds"

As I see more and more websites offering dark themes, I wonder if there should be a browser API to query the user preference.

I should be able to specify that I want dark themes in the browser, and then websites would respect that.

Of course, browsers/extensions could do additional stuff like setting the light theme during the day and the dark one during the night, integrate with the operating system or tools like f.lux/redshift, set it based on the ambient light.

Queer culture is always asking yourself "Do I really have the right to talk about this issue I experience everyday ?"

While obiously, cishet culture is "Wow look at this topic I know nothing about ! I should talk about it !"

korrrektur/ergänzung zum toot oben: das mahnmal wird nicht von der stadt oder staat errichtet, sondern privat von einem autofreunde-club, und sie werden es auf automobilmessen etc. aufstellen. trotzdem sehr überdeutsch, sowas überhaupt zu tun.. #jesuisauto

correction to above toot: the memorial will not be put up by the state or town of hamburg, but by a group of automobile fans and they will display it on automobile fairs and so on. still - it's über german to even to a thing like that.
#g20summit
#nog20

es wird ein mahnmal für die bei #nog20 ermordeten autos geben. i shit you not.
#jesuisauto

non-german followers: I heard today they will erect a memorial consisting of a burned car, they will conserve a car that was burned at the protests against #g20summit in hamburg. I shit you not! a memorial for burned cars! wtf

I wanna reread "Record of a Yokohama Shopping Trip" soon and cry my eyes out again.

"Human beings act in ways that are motivated by economic rationality, and will always seek to maximize profit"
