Did they still have partly rolled up jacket sleeves or was that more 80’s? And did they still neglect to lock their cars even in really dodgy areas as there are never other opportunistic criminals around to steal them?

lucky in some ways - I think I eliminated a letter early on that you might have tried in attempt 5 or 6.

Yes it is. Following your pattern I tried a couple of obscure things first which luckily turned out to not be words, then got it right on the 5th go.

I didn’t learn this word today but probably only in the past year. It’s a great word.

For my disabled comrades who work - what do you wish your manager and team knew?

Not sure anyone wants to be shown the door. πŸ˜€

@xkcd.com what would the world be like now if we had never discovered how to harness electricity? Would we have incredibly complex mechanical computers, would steam supercars be a thing, would the worlds biggest company make candles, would we have exhausted fossil fuels?

On Bluesky and LinkedIn, the hashtag #accessibility allows you to find lots of accessibility-related resources. To find accessibility resources in Spanish, use the hashtag #accesibilidad. The hashtag #accessibilitΓ© helps you find resources in French.

I assume that’s the real Malvolio. Will have trouble with the curling though as the brush is missing from the stick.

Start a Tunnocks Teacake regular meet-up. There must be enough people.

Seems slightly unambitious when me and my name go round the sun every year anyway.

Seems to be trained on The Darling Buds of May β€œperfick”.

Is that like a ventriloquist drinking and speaking at the same time?

Delays on the West Coast main line probably.

In Darling Buds of May, Ma asks cows or Johnny Walkers for tea.

Information Accessibility Design and Policy (IADP) | A publish.illinois.edu site | College of Applied Health Sciences | Illinois

It's interesting and encouraging that this sort of educational programme exists, but this needs to be taught in every school and college, not just at university level in very few universities: iadp.ahs.illinois.edu #accessibility #AccessibilityRegulations

We had β€œspeedboats” a while back for short projects. Another sea faring or water related metaphor.

Find open data - data.gov.uk

Do you know what is planned for data.gov.uk? The post only talks about evaluating the performance of it but doesn’t mention anything about replacement, retirement or integration.

Is there a website or directory or similar of tools that don’t use AI? Search engines are being incredibly unhelpful.

Didn’t know there was such a thing. Ironic that they meet in person.

Me too. I find it a useful exercise to post some of my old pictures on here and be able to describe them well enough without going over the top.

It is well worth framing.

Great alt text by the way. I keep trying to get people to write alt text.

I prefer the first one. More colours in the water and textures from the reflections, and the gondoliers are more obvious.

I think β€œpretty decent” is an understatement. That is stunning shot.
