This is the FINAL time I will explain the difference between ice dance and pairs. Ice dancers have wider, U-shaped snouts, while pair skater snouts are more pointed and V-shaped. Pair skaters prefer saltwater habitats, while ice dancers inhabit freshwater marshes and lakes.

Please boost. Im doing delivery to make a little money but it's barely keeping food on the table. It could be another two months before all of the issues with my bank will be settled if they are at all. Thank you and I love you 🖤

I played Adventure on a green-screen terminal in a computer lab; I stuck a rubber strip to my ZX81's 16Kb ram pack to reduce wobble; I installed Slackware Linux from floppies; l wrote CGI* code in Perl before the first Internet bubble burst; I thought iso-latin-? encodings were neat

This is an excellent choice; in most retail outlets you don't have to talk to anyone about anything these days so all my textbooks' chapters on "kruidenieren en groenteboeren" were of modest use, but you do actually have to talk to Bicycle Repair Man
LMAO the Swede's Dutch text book this week has an entire chapter that is called "at the bike repair shop" ["Bij de fietsenmaker"]

The FT is, sadly, one of the better newspapers left but they can still apparently have someone covering the Gee Whizz Space Tech Business beat whose head is blissfully untroubled by how physics works, bless their heart
This would have been a good point for someone to have asked, is that really how things work? Or is vacuum in fact an excellent insulator? www.ft.com/content/a5cf...

Our many Dutch children strongly prefer Spanish to French as a school language, although their many schools do not all offer it.

The big consciousness conference in Tucson/Arizona is cancelled. Philosophy & Cognitive Science are fields long known to be largely inside-handshake dudebro clubs, something which I said out loud (it's not that they'd hired me), and now revealed to be disproportionally present in the Epstein files.
