Can't wait!
The Devon farmer bit reminds me of one who was doing a fraud - pretending to be exporting lots of sheep & claiming back tax on this. He divorced his wife. She didn't understand the real accounts he had to do as part of that, so took them to a friend. Who happened to be a tax inspector.

USB C can detect the orientation it's been plugged in because they are different - there is something that displays something like 'wrong way round' one way and 'not that way' the other.

once it comes to a bayonet fight, chances of someone getting seriously hurt increase & it could well be you!
Hence the habit of one side of other avoiding that by retiring / running away once things got really close.
The threat of it reduces the number of times it happened?

I suspect it doesn't help that there are often more people using the tables outside the reading rooms for doing work they could do anywhere than people inside them doing stuff they couldn't do anywhere else.

It wasn't just the biphobia and bi-erasure I didn't like in It's A Sin, it was also the way that one of the characters was 'photocopying' these.
As well as the absolutely perfect printing, the SAVE isn't well kerned, but all the other text is.

Another example of 'if I was evil, I'd be rich'.
Get other people to pay me 110% of the price I have agreed to buy art work, charge them more for having it where I want, and sell it only if I want to.
