I would like an ad-blocker that blocks the "Please enable ads pop-ups"

My BIL still gives his weight in "stone". As in, "I'm 12 stone, 7 lbs and 3 ounces".

I joke with him that only makes sense to people who are comfortable with Pounds, Shillings and Pence, too.

Shoot both. The JPEG's take up negligible space and are good if you need something "at the moment" for a purpose or to share. You can also compare your finished product to what the camera would have done by itself.

I'm guessing that the "cheese" component wasn't actually what anyone outside of the USA would call cheese.

How about we charge them $62B to keep NORAD running?

This has to be more than just an ultramarathon, because 17 hours for a winner is a long time. A normal marathon is 42km, and takes 3 or so hours for a winner.

Given that this was in Snowdonia, it looks like it was some kind of grueling trail race up a mountain.

I don't think so. The mail is delivered to the Proton mail server via unencrypted SMTP and then sent on to the client encrypted. The secure layer is between the client and the server. It might also be stored on the server encrypted.

Email is unsecure as hell in any event, but I think the idea is that once it's delivered, it's secured.

Isn't Proton supposed to be end to end encryption between crient and server? And wouldn’t that rule out IMAP?

Not saddest, just worst.

Exactly, manage the outcomes, not the people.

And don't forget, this is pretty sensitive stuff. So you have to make sure that it's a well built website or it's going to be a disaster. It's not just a page, it has to have some kind of content system behind it that non-programming staff can interact with and keep up to date.

 

For some reason, the wife decided to pull out all of the amigurumi critters that she's made since she started doing this at the beginning of the year.

So, here you go, the group shot:

 

She said that the pattern was awful and that she had fudge all kinds of stuff to make it work. The hat needed to be completely redesigned.

 

I'm beginning to think that this sub will never be ready. What's the hold-up????

 

The wife has started to make these amigurumi creatures. Here's her latest two.

She uses worsted weight wool (she tells me) which generally results in bigger creatures.

 

I wanted one of these back in 1980 when I was 16. I remember that they were $1,200, but they might as well have been $1,200,000 as far as I was concerned.

Many years later I had the $$$ to buy one, and this one is a beauty. Koa, with Bill Lawrence pickups.

Look at all the knobs and switches!!!
