Having lived in Norway for few years that variety of licorice in the Nordic never ceases to amaze me. Salty licorice gum??Not a fan, but there are really yummy licorice ice cream bars, if you can find them.

Had such a good chat about my book manuscript Industrializing Taste with @medievalpenguin.bsky.social yesterday my celebration of the fourth is reorganizing the chapters, pulling out the 3 major themes, and breaking up the historiography. May try to take on the epilogue too. Bit of free writing.

Hey, I'd like to understand how you came up with this, because I don't find it in the historical record. Happy to be corrected, but soda-pop is def a thing in the 1940s-1960s.

There were different fav flavors across the country, Coke has always been the most favored soda not just in the US but world. It is amazing how Coke until the soda wars of the 1980s, which Coke won, has always been the soda of choice. Kinda crazy, but true. Chapter in my book 'Industrializing Taste'

As a historian of soda who grew up with pop in 1947 soda-pop was a term, save in the Southeast, which has always been coke.

Wow! And I thought this was a 1990s thing, but maybe it took the tech that long to be viable. So, now convinced the chickenshit car was about methane digesters, which turn out to be a very hard thing to do at mid-scale as in taking all the food waste from a 50,000+ person campus and converting it

I actually think it isn't a thing at all and you are probably right that it is hyperbole. You could take bio-mass and convert it to methane, but that biomass need a specific set of inputs to make it efficient, more fat the better according to an engineer friend working on mid-size digesters.

I'm sure if it says chicken it is chicken, otherwise just manure-car. Also very odd. Just imagine the smell. I've never seen such a thing in all my ag hist, but maybe others have.

Oh wow! Yes it is chronic. I've been following wildfires in wine regions globally and every year multiple places are burning. CA just had a 10ha fire outside of SanFran and it is early in the season. Since 2003 every year in AUS.
