What quality is it that you associate with Satie makes you ask this?

I have the sense this is a rich person thing.

That doesn't work anyway, since based on wheat variety, growing season, and grinding method, different flours have different information density.

There are just so many layers of delusional here. If you are going to paint a delusional fantasy, why paint a dystopic one like that, why not tell people everyone is going to get their own pet unicorn that poops gold nuggets?

While I have a few in the medium, and very hot categories, what I really use a lot of is a relatively mild green sauce. I like to be able to add a lot flavor without making something crazy hot. I used to use Tabasco green, later upgraded to Cholula green, but my favorite these days is Callahan's Poblano green chili sauce. The Bronx Greenmarket is really good too.

A few months ago, eh? I know nothing about and have no opinion on Plebbit. But shit takes time, especially open source volunteer efforts.

I don't really know what's out there, but FWIW, I'd point out that there is nothing functional about the coupling between the pendulum and the clock in such a movement, so if you could find a separate "pendulum swinger" you could perhaps use that with a regular DST capable movement.

What I don't understand is why so many people start using the object form of a pronoun as a subject the minute there is an "and". "Me and her went to the store."

(I know this is the opposite of the pretentious overcompensation of using "I" as an object you're likely to see in a corporate meeting. But why?)

It's fine is used properly, but management tends to use it to mean "magically gooder."
