Kender vi en god/sjov/velfungerende dansk app (web/Linux) til tastaturtræning/blindskrift til poderne? Alt jeg kan finde er dårlige oversættelser fra engelsk, sider med forvirrende UI, eller sider, hvor man kan bestille en diskette med software til Windows 3.1.

As a Jew, it’s fun watching the administration post Christian nationalist messages while also saying they are doing everything they can to curb antisemitism.
Here’s the U.S. government being officially religious in a country with no official religion.

A New Testament scholar asks, "Was there really no room at the inn?"
A true scholar, he even asks "What inn?"

Fascinating look at that bit of the Christmas story.

Please entertain my idea for a band playing straight middle-of-the-road soft rock who only perform at experimental music festivals.

Their name: The Control Group.

* Vehicle traffic: -11%
* Foot traffic: +3.4%
* Storefront vacancy: -0.9%
* Pollution: -22%

So YES this has been a huge success.
