Many adjustments. It now reads and writes GeoPackage features to get a template for the coastline and divides, and output the rivers, lakes, densified coastline, and some debugging info.

It also takes rasters to set precipitation, fractalness, and density and size of lakes and estuaries.

The "Third Way" in liberal politics involves *saying* things that working people love, but *doing* things that sociopathic plutocrats love. It works ...right up until voters notice that you're not *doing* the things. That realisation breeds cynicism and fury and paves the way for fascist strongmen.

It's been a while since I read Dune. I hope to read Dune Messiah before the movie comes out since I've only read the first book before.

(comment on Dune)

@jamey also, this:

"Ugh, why am I so sore?"

"Me too, I've got aches and pains I've never felt before."

"Um. Oops?"

"Oops? I don't want to hear that from our mage. What did you do?"

"I thought this massaging spell would be a nice surprise. I didn't realize it was a mass aging spell…"

The liberal governments keeps pushing for #BillC22, and we just wrote to SECU to demand full withdrawal. The #surveillance powers are dangerously unsafe. This so-called 'lawful access' bill MUST NOT PASS! 👉 View our latest blog for its latest developments and why we need your action NOW.

The Pu-erh was also interesting. Also fairly mild but maybe I should have used more (sometimes hard to gauge with a tea with large whole leaves)

Milk helped bring out the flavour more.

Shipment form #tealyra arrived. Besides replenishing my supply of Black Beauty and Jasmine Oolong, I ordered some #Wakoucha, and a Pu-Erh, neither of which I've had before. The Wakoucha is very mild and delicate. It seems like a particularly good tea for if I want a black tea without milk. It will be interesting to try it iced.

Still haven't tried the Pu-Erh.
