Good morning Fediverse and especially #PottersOfTheFediverse
I just wanted to share how amazing it feels when you are eating your morning breakfast out of a bowl you made yourself. I know it sounds crazy but it even tastes better in my own creation.
This is also one of my better pieces if I say so myself in my first year of being a Potter.
Let’s end this debate right now : Harry Potter or Pokémon ? 🤔
„Hier geht es nicht um Journalismus. Es geht um die Durchsetzung von staatlicher Repression gegen Linke, die #Potter nicht in den Kram passen, weil sie keinen Genozid schönreden.“
Ein linker offener Brief an die Taz:

Solange Frau Pötter (CDU) als Boss im Rathaus #osnabruck sein wird, solange wird sich nichts ändern, versprochen. Und es besteht eine gewisse Wahrscheinlichkeit, dass Frau #Pötter für 8 Jahre wiedergewählt wird.
Der Begriff "#Busbeschleunigung" ist ein Märchen, das immer wieder mal vorgelesen wird, mehr nicht.
In der #Physik kann #Beschleunigung auch einen negativen Wert haben. Ist nicht ungewöhnlich.
Nur eine #Verkehrsveringerung führt zur #Mobilitässteigerung

#India - How to Make #Lime From Scratch
25/12/2018
Making Lime from Scratch - An Overview
1. Build a kiln from cob, or some other material that can stand 1000 degrees heat.
2. Collect some oyster/clam shells, or limestone (see video below).
3. Light a fire in your kiln and add your limestone/shells. Get the temperature up to between 800 and 1200 degrees.
4. Extract the shells (if using) and put them in a vat.
5. Put on protective clothing (mask, goggles, gloves, onesie etc)
6. Add warm water to the burned shells and watch the mixture bubble and froth. Be careful. Lime is caustic and can burn.
7. The longer you leave that substance slaking (submerged in plenty of water), the better quality lime you get.
"Lime. Oh lime. So versatile. So useful. But sometimes so difficult to know which kind you’re buying. You may remember my beginners' guide to different kinds of lime I penned last time. Sometimes though, all the CaOs and NHLs in the world won’t help you, because you live in a place that doesn’t regulate too carefully, and your lime turns up in mysterious dog-eared bags which inspire anything but confidence.
In that case you can always do what Gautam Singh in Mumbai did. Cut out the middle man, and make it yourself. He shared his process in our members' only Facebook Group last week, and I think it's fabulous.
" 'Unsure and concerned about of the quality of lime we were purchasing, especially for some tadelakt work, we made a small kiln to make our own lime,' says Gautam, who is still battling on with plaster work over there in Mumbai. I’ve got to hand it to him, he’s not a quitter:)
'It's specifically for tadelakt,' he says, and 'I’m happy to say it works, and wasn’t too complicated or time consuming either.' Oh...music to my ears!
How did they create their own quick lime?
First Gautam and his friends built the kiln out of cob (see above). Next, he collected a bunch of oyster and clam shells from seafood sellers. You don't crush the shells, they are left whole so they are easy to identify post burning, because the entire burned shell will be converted into Calcium Oxide or pure lime.
'Research stated the shells needed to be fired between 800-1200℃. Any less and it wouldn't have the reaction that turns it into lime, and any more would melt the shells,' he informed us.
I asked him how he measured the temperature. 'Figuring out the temperature was tricky at first, but luckily a professional #potter friend came to the rescue and we used a #thermocouple to measure the temperature for the first two trials. After that it became easier because then I knew it took between 40-60 mins to achieve that 800-1200 degrees required for my kiln.'
Initial Troubles
In the beginning Gautam thought he'd failed. But in fact it's a good example of how things are sometimes not what they appear. 'After our first firing attempt, we went through the burnt matter, extracted all the shells and put them in a pot. Then we tried adding water. But there was no reaction!'
Our pioneer thought perhaps he hadn’t fired the shells at a high enough temperature. He prepared his kiln for a second attempt. It was then he chanced upon a golden nugget of online information advising the use of warm water (not cold) to slake the burnt shells. The Mumbai team decided to try it.
'So we used the same shells, added warm water and voila! It started boiling and reacting violently,' he says."

Now it’s official! Graham #Potter is new Sweden National Team’s coach. No surprise here and confirmed since the last October 15! #transfers 🇸🇪
#Potter som förbundskapten är en fantastisk värvning. Ska erkänna att jag trodde det var i princip en omöjlighet med tanke på att Sverige-jobbet knappast är på den nivå en etablerad Premier League-manager brukar överväga. Givetvis spelar hans relation till landet stor roll, sen antar jag att tajmingen är bra också.
Noterar att kontraktet bara löper över kvalet och eventuellt VM. Hoppas spontant att möjligheten finns att förlänga även om vi inte kvalar in.
