I didn't see any mention in the article of Yerba Buena. They're planning to use Alameda.

I've always preferred watching productions with unknown (to me) actors for that very reason.

I hadn't understood. A couple hours later out on the Columbia River for a windsport session it struck me. Nice one!

Same for "tarn", which I submitted several times. Editor never lived near mountains. Though, to be fair, I haven't done Beehive in nearly a year, so perhaps that's changed.

"I owe you..."
Nah, no need.

I'm not sure I'd go so far as to say "reverse telescope" even though tfa says that the microscope initially displayed images "in reverse" but a neat revelation nonetheless. Thank you!

Turns out it's been fixed in version 8.10. Great!

In English, I requested www.diceymetrics.com

Expected to be redirected from http to https, which indeed happened, as reflected in the number of redirects and the url_effective output.

But the urle.scheme output still displays http.

Saw: urle.scheme:http
Expected: urle.scheme:https

Full output:

num_redirects:1
url_effective:https://www.diceymetrics.com/
urle.scheme:http
urle.host:www.diceymetrics.com

Thank you. Yes, we certainly loved Moby!

This doesn't surprise me. Well deserved.

Looked snowy up there. We did a run over at Viento this morning.

Funny thing is, I even remember where I was sitting that day. It haunted me.

Seriously, did you copy my spelling test? I made the same mistake, and it was my only mistake. Shattered my sense of infallibility that very first day of second grade.
