Half a pint of pistachio gelato, 2 ounces limoncello, 1 ounce #espresso.
The gelato melted very quickly, even in the frozen glass, before adding the chilled limoncello and hot espresso. Still good, but I’ll probably make it once more and forget to do it again.

China kontrolliert den Großteil des weltweiten Angebots dieser kritischen Rohstoffe und hat kürzlich die Exportkontrollen verschärft, was den Zugang für europäische Länder weiter erschwert.

"""
Writing has been an instrument for some of the highest expressions of the human spirit: poetry, philosophy, science. But to understand it — why it came into being, how it changed the human experience — we have to first appreciate its crass practicality. It evolved mainly as an instrument of the mundane: the economic, the administrative, the political.
Confusion over this point is understandable. Some scholars have equated the origin of “civilization” with the origin of writing. Laypeople sometimes take this equation to mean that with writing humanity put aside its barbarous past and started behaving in gentlemanly fashion, sipping tea and remembering to say “please.” And indeed, this may be only a mild caricature of what some nineteenth-century scholars actually meant by the equation: writing equals Greece equals Plato; illiteracy equals barbarism equals Attila the Hun.
But, in truth, if you add literacy to Attila the Hun, you don’t get Plato. You get Genghis Khan. During the thirteenth century, he administered what even today is the largest continuous land empire in the history of the world. And he could do so only because he had the requisite means of control: a script that, when carried by his pony express, amounted to the fastest large-scale information-processing technology of his era. One consequence was to give pillaging a scope beyond Attila’s wildest dreams. Information technology, like energy technology or any other technology, can be a tool for good or bad. By itself, it is no guarantor of moral progress or civility.

Denne her laurbærkirsebær ser lidt kedelig ud nu hvor den er afblomstret. Tænkte jeg, indtil jeg så de vilde bier der åbenbart stadig har glæde af de tŸrre blomsterstande - i disse tider er det jo en gave at have bier, så jeg sidder i smiler her på terrassen 😊
