I became more interested in Latin when learning to sing the Carmina Burana, after already knowing some German and Spanish. I haven't learned much beyond that, but still fascinated by it as with all languages.

The pieces look like they retain the shapes I cut them in when stacked. I started cutting them as pie slices, but then tried a few as parallel chops, and they get stacked in those shapes. Also interesting is the shadows of leaves that stay

Very simple and beautiful! I planted a couple too. I wish I could zoom in further to get closeups of trees and names and the mountains. All the same it's very nice!

My favorite writing implement these days is a black Milwaukee Inkzall ultra fine pen, bought in 4 packs at Home Depot. I have three primary things I write on, mostly todos for home yard or office, groceries and hardware or tools to buy, and

Simone Giertz had a different approach, she built a bench for her and her dog with stairs so it could come and go as it wanted to. I built a chair for dogs that always want to sit next to you ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v

According to the CSS of the page, the font is "IBM VGA 9x16". No idea about the color scheme but it's nice. Unrelated to any of this, this font reminds of an old Turbo Pascal program I wrote years ago (decades now) to extract

Kovcheg is very nice if you like a cappella. I clicked because it had an interesting design and thought it would be metal! XD But its a Russian men's singing group and they're very good.

A complementary resource for learning about tube amps is the YouTube channel Fazio Electric. Colleen Fazio does a nice job of repairing old amps and explaining various aspects of their construction, history, and significance. Plus she has a

It was not obvious to me that I needed to click the New button first. I clicked around everywhere else and tried typing and no go. Then after clicking New and getting a text area, it made sense and I said "well of course". So mayb

It would be helpful to have some examples that show the prompts needed to develop simple shapes, then how to iterate to add improvements. A video of you using it to create something specific would be great. I first tried "a work table

I thought this might be about the saying I've heard a bunch recently, "Slow is smooth, and smooth is fast." I've mostly heard it in the context of building and construction videos where they are approaching a new skill o

He says something similar at the end of the article: "These four verbs aren’t a productivity system or a self-help formula. Some days I forget one. Other days, one takes over. But when I return to them, they gently reorient me." Y

I get the bubbles page too after a minute or so, but the main page is just white with two black lines on it. When I move my mouse around it, I get a click pointer and can see the links show up in the status area, but nothing is displayed. o

I love the idea of it, but I would get bothered working with such a tiny screen. I understand that bigger screens lead to more things going on and greater distractions, but I want to see my writing with some structure, paragraphs, margins,

Ha, funny! I did something very similar when we moved from old NEC APCs with 8" floppies to brand new IBM PC XTs and ATs! The consultants wanted something like $200 per disk to convert them. I was able to rig up a serial cable and a ti

My first few programming jobs were in dBASE, the last of which saw the use of dBASE go on for 15 years or so. It was a weird language but still capable of quite a lot. I learned some assembly language with the help of Peter Norton and had a
