This is odd. The previous two posts have failed to post to m.b and I have no great expectation that this one will get through either. @help
That picture is worth so much more than 1000 words, and yet I don't expect it to have any impact where it matters most, among the people rejecting "socialised" medicine all the way to their early graves.
Wear and tear is a concept that I like to embrace. My jeans, for example, are worn and torn in a way that directly reflects how and why I wear them, not a fashionista decree.

I wish I could force m.b to look further back in my RSS feed and find yesterday’s microblogvember post.

@bsag How feasible do you think it would be to build a headphone only Raspberry pi DAC as a Roon endpoint?
I have enormous admiration for John F. Appleby, who in the 1870s perfected a machine that would tie a knot in twine, thus enabling a machine to bind sheaves of grain together and setting in motion the giant combine harvesters that enable our daily bread.

There is no way I can inflate my relief at the day’s events, or my gratitude to cyber-friends here on mb for their generosity of spirit.

Erk. I seem to have misplaced today’s #mbnov prompt.
Puzzling? This stuff writes itself, doesn't it. Not that I am going to let it, but the thought is definitely there. We've had near and anxious (ha; not anxious, astonish. Mr Freud, your slip is ready.) and stoop and now puzzling, and you still expect me to believe the choices are random?

Americans Need to Kick Addiction to Polling - Bloomberg
Yeah, and maybe not just Americans, eh?
Is the architectural stoop derived from the same word as step, and what exactly is it? Is it what I might call the front porch? Or is the little flight of steps leading up to the porch?

But in practice, Trump campaign officials were supporting continued vote counts where the president was behind and vigorously opposing them where he was ahead.

I have resisted the temptation to look at the news today, aside from scary hints in social media, and I am going to sleep. Perhaps tomorrow will bring actual information, reducing uncertainty.
The only thing that makes life bearable right now is that I am near the person who makes my life worth living. I can’t imagine surviving so much forced proximity with anyone else at all.

Whatever happens today is likely to astonish me.

I do remember orange juice made from concentrate and it seemed sensible; remove the water, ship, replace the water.

I don’t mean to be churlish, and I’m very grateful to have got it back, but I do wish it were a different colour.

I know. And it isn't even as if the person responsible will ever see my comment. But given what they wrote, I don't see any point in pushing it any further. People suit themselves now, and don't give their future selves much thought.
Sad to learn that James Randi, magician and stage artist devoted to debunking the paranormal, dies at 92 - The Washington Post https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/obituaries/james-randi-magician-and-stage-artist-devoted-to-deb...
I had the honour to know and work with the Amazing Randi for a while in the 1970s and 1980s, and it was always fun.
OK, so you want to move to Medium because it'll be more rewarding. I get that. But as someone who follows via RSS from your own site, I don't understand why you would not also post there. I don't care whether you POSSE or PESOS, I do consider myself dumped.
Interesting how in the first flush of enthusiasm, people build a now page, and then it becomes an a while ago now page, and then, er, something else entirely. I'm not regretting a failure to embrace the /now.

By dint of getting rid of unused styles and serving Tailwind.css myself, I upped my site's Lighthouse score from 68 to 93. Will anyone else notice? And is the remaining 7 worth pursuing?
Existential questions.
Yes: First time joining Nottingham, but the time is right and it will be fun to meet new people.
Started to install tailwindcss rather than rely on the full stylesheet via CDN, and all I can say is, "so far, so good". Forced by actual work to take it slowly, which is probably a good thing.

Delighted to learn that Subway bread in Ireland is cake, in the same way that Jaffa Cakes are cake, at least as far as VAT is concerned.
