@joshuapsteele Replying from the iOS app.

@tibz Anyone but OKC!

@JohnBrady If you find a good recipe, do tell! I imagine it would be easy to whip up at home, though of course the pub atmosphere does add to the flavor.

What I didn’t mention in the post which you, @ReaderJohn and @joshuapsteele may appreciate, is that for the first time since we’ve been going there we stumbled upon a group of about a dozen people of all ages (~30s-70s) with a bunch of instruments, one of which was a hammered dulcimer, playing mostly traditional Irish tunes but also an occasional dulcimer solo. That boxty never tasted better.

@mineinmono With the caveat that it is a work in progress, these are the 8 lines that made it look better:

(set-face-attribute 'default nil :font "Iosevka" :height 140 :weight 'regular)
(set-face-attribute 'variable-pitch nil :font "ET Bembo" :height 160 :weight 'regular)
(menu-bar-mode -1)
(tool-bar-mode -1)
(scroll-bar-mode -1)
(setq inhibit-startup-screen t)
(set-frame-parameter nil 'internal-border-width 20)
(load-theme 'modus-operandi t)

Separately, for smoother scrolling:

(when (fboundp 'pixel-scroll-precision-mode)
  (pixel-scroll-precision-mode 1))

(setq scroll-conservatively 101)
(setq scroll-margin 2)
(setq scroll-step 1)
(setq mouse-wheel-scroll-amount '(1 ((shift) . 1)))
(setq mouse-wheel-progressive-speed nil)```

@Miraz 🙏

@manton Oh that’s great news. I’ve been using it as a web app on the Daylight tablet and even that was good enough.

@JohnBrady I would much prefer @dave’s suggestion for micropayments — cents per article and tally it up at the end of the day like it’s a utility. There are few writers I’d pre-pay for and Scott Sumner’s a good blogger but I don’t think I would count him among them.

@JohnBrady Could be! Still early in the spring so it was far from burly, but sure working on it :)

@jtr Thank you for the shout out, JTR :)

@lukemperez So happy to hear this! The book was the best new fiction I’ve read in a while.
