This is incredibly stupid, but mandating a proprietary font face in this way is a sneaky mandate for the operating system that includes it. It is $442 for the full font license unbundled.

#stormbram is arriving in County Clare. Bit breezy, and the chickens have decided to hide inside.

This man may be the most racist president this country has ever had, and twelve presidents owned slaves

Electric quadcopters flying for 2 hours is fairly unlikely. Not quite impossible, with ideal conditions and no payload. Fixed wing things are better at loitering. The whole concept of attempting to put a drone in the path of an airliner seems unlikely to achieve anything.

When it opens with "I am Irish-American and planning to move to Ireland" you brace yourself for A Comment And A Half. Then you add "the Quora factor" - you are not expecting sensible chat here. ... and somehow, he still manages to shock us.

This is Paschal's last appointment before he ascends into his final form: that of a giant sentient spreadsheet that floats in the sky overseeing all budgetary issues of the new world

Air to air heat pumps. 🧵 1) What are they? An air to air heat pump is effectively an air conditioner unit that can be reversed so that the heat goes into the house and the cold air goes out of the house. The external unit looks like an air to water heat pump, although a bit smaller and lighter

Shall we: a) Treat asylum costs like a student loan to be paid back gradually if and when possible and give asylum seekers every chance to be successful so they can repay? b) Strip mine asylum seekers for precious metals?
