@lproven @neil I didn’t get the office 365-$I joke, ‘tis all

I want a 12” variant of this with Linux on it, yesterday. https://social.vivaldi.net/@lproven/110060790439788478

@sil @scrwd an emeritus prof I work with does genealogy as a hobby but also used it in teaching CS because it’s a good example of something where every seemingly clear rule has many exceptions in practice

My “The Horror Show!” Exhibit book fits well on this shelf
Bookcase. Adjacent: “England’s hidden reverse” and “the encyclopaedia of witchcraft and demonology”

This is your periodic reminder that 10 years ago an audiophile forum started debating which versions of memcpy had the highest sound quality.

The closing episode of “Severance” was great
