Based on your technique of pouring straight into the cup, I wonder if that's the reasoning behind the "coffee fountain" kind of moka pots [1] (apart from convenience).

This instagram account has a nice collection of different ones [2].

Since your son enjoys drawing, something like Pixicade[1] can help teach him basic concepts of game development without any programming.

Exactly. I used to plug in my earphones into the mic socket to use as a microphone when I didn't have one around.

It's worth noting that Ribena also comes ready made. If I ever buy Ribena, that's what I go for. Especially the carbonated version.

There are alternative blackcurrant cordials for diluting which are much cheaper and taste good. I think every British supermarket has their own brand one.

Oh, so there's no Ribena[1] in the US? Or is it imported?

Another one that fits the dark palette, conical lights and sort of trench coat wearing character[1] is Blues Brothers by Titus[2].

For example this series documenting old bars and their owners [2] or this one about old shops that don't seem to sell anything [3].

(Instagram links used to be publicly accessible but looks like that's no longer the case. You can also see Lee's photos on his blog [4].)

And it seems to be back now. Also visible in the charts.

You can see the loss of traffic in their charts [1] (from archive stats [2]). Looks like it started on the morning of the 26th Nov.

https://iolla.com/ makes decent ones at £85 a pair. It's a Scottish company but seems to be shipping internationally. Good customer service from my experience.

Since you mentioned Pudliszki and Kotlin, here's the Polish Map of Ketchup [1]. The Polish ketchup market is quite varied. The map shows where different ketchup brands are produced.

And I've just learnt that Heinz owns Pudliszki.

This sounds cool if a bit overwhelming.

I always wanted to combine the Sims and Sim City. I imagined a multiplayer mode where you could live in the same city with your friends and your choice of career would allow you to use a different game mode at the SimCity level. E.g. your sim becomes a teacher, so now you decide where to place schools, etc. You have to work as a team to make sure all sims are happy in the city.
