#Lunch. #Woolies substituted smoked paprika for the sweet paprika I’d ordered.
Nah. Not a fan of the smoked at all, so I didn’t dish myself up much of the gravy & added #Worcestershire sauce to try & reduce the smokiness.
It (mostly) did the trick.

A few weeks ago @notjustbikes released a video on Klinkers, the standardized bricks used for paving in the Netherlands. Today, on a bike ride near Sint Michielsgestel (near 's-Hertogenbosch), I found odd 'ribbed' klinkers used as lane markers in the bike lane.
Just because I'm a weirdo, I made a 3D model of the klinker, and subsequently an animation of it.
Gif Attached, but if that doesnt work: garrettspeed.com/wp-content/up…

North Korea airs first new TV drama in years, as country celebrates Kim Il Sung | NK PRO
North Korean television broadcast a new drama series for the first time in two years this week, telling a story about Kim Jong Un’s rural development efforts that hinted at local resistance to the ruling party’s policies.NK PRO
I just learned that #Casio made a #watch in the late #1980s that could broadcast sound over low FM frequencies. In this video, they pipe "Eye of the Tiger" into the mic of the watch and broadcast it to a nearby boombox, which plays it back via its FM receiver.
I think this is absolutely amazing and I would have ruled the school if I had had one of those. (Instead, I wore a very unimpressive but also very 1980s Swatch)
