When I was young I used to walk across Parkers Piece in Cambridge on my way to school.
In November it was often so foggy you couldn't see the centre from the edge, or when you were there, back out to the surrounding roads.
The lamp post in the centre was called "Reality Checkpoint" for good reason.

I was in my mid 20s when spell checkers came in and they made such a difference to my writing. I've never learnt to read aloud without preparation though.
I did learn to fake the time it took to look over someone else's work, when I realised they were assuming I'd not read it before okaying it.

My son lives in a 1920s house on a road, ominously with hindsight, called Springwell Road.

I suspect that's probably a contributer to my dyslexia.
I learnt to read coming up to 4 via "Look and Say" and it became primerally visual for me. I had problems reading aloud and my spelling was poor.
But I was measured reading over 1000 wpm with good comprehension.

And it always changes if the questions are "Should be replaced by *Name*?" The incumbent must be removed, but not if that means replacing them with someone who exists instead of a platonic someone else.

I'm going to be sniffly and say the one on the right is cast complete, then finished in a bead vibrator. And it looks it.

I strongly suspect that your begging texts are from 5, 10, 25 level sub-contracter fundraisers down, and that very little reaches the campaigns. That would explain the changing phone numbers. I have vague recollections of an essay saying only 6%.
And some of them may be independent scams.

It doesn't actually say it's part one. I suspect star wars style reading/viewing vs chronological order. Or, more probably, the rest of the series is vapor ware.

It's universal.
I, briefly, worked on a canned, boiled potatoes line. Our job was to spot and pick out anything that wasn't a nice white potato. Stones went into one bucket and manky potatos into another to go and be repeeled until the were acceptable.
I left with RSI, a lust for H&S, & for unions.

Well I guess that shows my relative levels of trust in Wikipedia and AI search.

IIRC it varied between about 15 to 30. The data will be out there but I'm not sure where.
Large fields do strange things to elections. I had thought that it would reduce the influence of the Trustees' choice, but you're not the first I've seen saying there were too many to read and make a choice.

It was very distorted this year. Where did all those new candidates come from?

It's worse than that. There are nearly 200 candidates and in a field of that size any slate voting will overwhelm organic voters. I usually vote for mostly the recommended candidates and maybe substitute one or two for candidates that struck me as outstanding. Not this year.

Clackers in the UK!
They were banned but you can still buy them on Amazon.
Also geminii volunteered that they were banned because they were made of glass and exploded, so I don't think I'll trust its date it gave either.

Recently there was the idea that modern IT meant there was no need for a secretary; everyone would be able to produce the own letters and fill in their own expenses sheet.
IME the expression used in person specifications was self-servicing.
A poor choice as typos and autocorrect gave self-serving

My mum was a draftsman so she taught me to quickly print clear block letters. The school sent me for calligraphy lessons, which I really enjoyed.
Neither of these skills transferred to my handwriting which remains, to this day, illegible a couple of days after writing it.

Though it seems that tech-bros would like you to use voice to communicate, with your electronics, rather than a keyboard. The speed with which phone keyboards and autocorrect are going downhill might have us all using pen and paper in self defence.

I'm older than you so keyboard skills were for manual typewriters. I avoided them enthusiasticly because that way led to a secretarial career.
The first student project I was part of, my collegues were a bit distressed to find they'd asked a woman to be part of the group, but that she couldn't type.

So, picking up on just the one word, did you have rough books contrasted to exercise books at school?
I did, but my children didn't and I'm wondering when keeping all your thoughts and misessays stopped being the right thing to do.

First aiders do. It's tricky because you have to try to get consent from the patient and must tell everyone in earshot what you're doing.
Phones and keys out of pockets because you might need to roll someone over. Keys cause injuries and phones break. The wallet is for name and possible medic alert.
