Is that a frickin rotating chair?

Wait, do you get the pebbles out of the ground? Could explain the dusty, earthy flavour that wears off…

“a wife of Grant Cardone”

All good points—did you mean “tiny violin mode”, or have I been misunderstanding that song for a long time?

But what the bank did next will shock you.

Always. https://xkcd.com/378/

I’ve been using AWS R53 for this for ages and it works well. Not specifically recommending AWS but using dynamic updates rather than a DDNS service (or running your own name server which I’ve also done).

Yeah, that kind of thing really is a big of a problem.

And more than one skeleton.

Is there any good reason to limit a text field like that these days? Although, UCAS probably still rocking a System/360…

Seeing your kids on stage is magic—my son has been in various professional and amateur roles since he was 10. He can act and sing, which opened up musicals too. Having several aspects to performance has definitely helped him. Actor musicians can be in great demand, but since there are few (compared to actor / singer / dancer), I don’t think there are as many opportunities as there might be.

If your kids are ok with the acting side, definitely encourage them.

On a related note, I was also involved in the building of a new theatre at my kids school, and I tried to convince them to not restrict it to the music and drama departments. No matter what field you’re going to go into, being confident in front of an audience (even just presenting on your own subject) is a valuable skill that theatre can teach. I’m now grey enough to not worry about speaking to an audience. I wish I’d had that confidence earlier in my career.

I started volunteering at a children’s theatre. Just finished the third of three production runs, seeing kids from 8 to 18 astound audiences with performances that surpass professional productions I’ve seen. It’s renewed my belief in the power of the arts to change lives, when my whole training and professional life has been in the sciences.

Atheist really means a definite belief that there is no god. Agnostic is less ‘strong’, asserting that it's impossible to know how the universe was created and whether or not divine beings exist.

That is a lovely little vignette. Thank you for a glimpse into your world :)

Plus it’s probably more complex to engineer multi-colour (well, two colour) font rendering onto the video. Getting the background brightness for each character is as simple as adding all the pixel rgb values together and threshold in. It doesn’t need to be very accurate.

Also en-dash for separating two numbers when indicating a range. I have AHK shortcuts for them both :).

Whoever downvoted this just thinks it’s the arrow to scroll down to the comments.

They're cross-eyed, and there's a great little nonsense squiggle above them.

I think it says “NETFLIX”

NOTE: Netflix is a popular internet video streaming service

Also married to Karen Barclay, Head of Major Infrastructure Planning & Stakeholder Engagement at Anglian Water, one of the organisations being investigated for illegal dumping of sewage.

But nothing to see here. Move along.
