Petits jeux passe-temps.
Fan depuis de décades de ces petits jeux sans prétention, je viens de retrouver cette petite suite plutôt réussie dans l'ensemble, à mon avis.
Ces jeux ont été développés par Mr Simon Tatham, également auteur du fameux client SSH Putty.exe (pour ceux qui connaissent).

The "Midwestern Doctor" has another story about DMSO

Goes into some combinations you can use for a variety of purposes. Lots of links to prior stories as well.

They never kick down the door first.

That’s the mistake we always make in the stories we tell ourselves. That tyranny will arrive in jackboots and bayonets, that we’ll hear it coming, that we’ll know.

But it never starts with force. It starts with forgetting. - Jo Jo From Jerz

🍅 Aha. Now I know why so many of them suck.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomato#B…

> The poor taste and lack of sugar in modern garden and commercial tomato varieties resulted from breeding tomatoes to ripen uniformly red. This change occurred after discovery of a mutant "u" phenotype in the mid-20th century, so named because the fruits ripened uniformly. This was widely cross-bred to produce red fruit without the typical green ring around the stem on un-crossbred varieties. Before this, most tomatoes produced more sugar during ripening, and were sweeter and more flavorful.

> 10–20% of the total carbon fixed in the fruit can be produced by photosynthesis in the developing fruit of the normal U phenotype. The u mutation encodes a factor that produces defective chloroplasts with lower density in developing fruit, making them a lighter green, and reducing sugar in the resulting ripe fruit by 10–15%. Perhaps more importantly, the fruit chloroplasts are remodelled during ripening into chlorophyll-free chromoplasts that synthesize and accumulate the carotenoids lycopene, β-carotene, and other metabolites that are sensory and nutritional assets of the ripe fruit. The potent chloroplasts in the dark-green shoulders of the "U" phenotype are beneficial here, but have the disadvantage of leaving green shoulders near the stems of the ripe fruit, and even cracked yellow shoulders. This is apparently because of oxidative stress due to overload of the photosynthetic chain in direct sunlight at high temperatures. Hence, genetic design of a commercial variety that combines the advantages of types "u" and "U" requires fine tuning, but may be feasible.
