Ariel Kroon<p>Anyone have any leads on a retailer of acorn flour in Canada? Like, we have so many oak trees, and I know it was a traditional ingredient for people here. It seems kinda bonkers that the only non-American retailer that I can find is Turkish.</p><p><a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/acorn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>acorn</span></a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/AcornFlour" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AcornFlour</span></a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/TraditionalFoods" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TraditionalFoods</span></a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/flour" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>flour</span></a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/glutenfreeFlour" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>glutenfreeFlour</span></a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/baking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>baking</span></a> <br><a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/oakTrees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>oakTrees</span></a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/oak" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>oak</span></a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/trees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>trees</span></a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/HelpMeFindThis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HelpMeFindThis</span></a></p>
FediThing 🏳️‍🌈<p>Just found out about a 2009 TV film on retro computing called "Micro Men". It's a sort of comedy-drama about UK computer manufacturers in the 1980s, done on a tiny budget by mixing in archive footage. It works really well!</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XH5L-iTIbP8" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">youtube.com/watch?v=XH5L-iTIbP</span><span class="invisible">8</span></a></p><p>There's also a video of some of the real people depicted watching it and commenting on the authenticity:</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yaonVYOTSsk" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">youtube.com/watch?v=yaonVYOTSs</span><span class="invisible">k</span></a></p><p>cc <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/retrocomputing" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>retrocomputing</span></a></span> </p><p><a href="https://social.chinwag.org/tags/RetroComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RetroComputing</span></a> <a href="https://social.chinwag.org/tags/RetroTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RetroTech</span></a> <a href="https://social.chinwag.org/tags/ComputingHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ComputingHistory</span></a> <a href="https://social.chinwag.org/tags/Computing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Computing</span></a> <a href="https://social.chinwag.org/tags/Acorn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Acorn</span></a> <a href="https://social.chinwag.org/tags/Sinclair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Sinclair</span></a> <a href="https://social.chinwag.org/tags/ZXSpectrum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ZXSpectrum</span></a> <a href="https://social.chinwag.org/tags/BBCMicro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BBCMicro</span></a></p>
