Incentives are (almost) everything.

For utterly mysterious reasons my Apple Watch SE lost power from 100% 39 minutes into a three hour hike this morning. Seems fine after a full recharge, but the numbers lie.

Posted my monthly update. I realise that this is a good antidote to me thinking that I have frittered my time away. I haven't, but I need to consider the things I've done to provide myself with a more accurate picture.

I know this is a really unfashionable point of view, but I like daylight savings time. The day’s work is done and there another couple of hours of light to enjoy. I honestly don’t get why some people get so aerated about it.

No. idea what you are talking about. The h1 element is right there, wrapping the words “Why does the Labarum theme not have a header”.

It gave me no pleasure to read Brad DeLong's recent Dealing with Global Warming Over the Next Fifty Years, in which he eviscerates several climate deniers https://braddelong.substack.com/p/dealing-with-global-warming-over

No, wait. It gave me a great deal of pleasure. Do yourself a favour.

Grammarphobia says it has no clue about the origins of "chumbalone"meaning an idiot, or stupid. https://www.grammarphobia.com/blog/2024/03/chumbolone.html

Maybe I'm an idiot, but I reckon it derives from the Italian ciambellone, like a big pound cake with a hole in the middle. Can anyone confirm?

Or could it be from coglione?
