No, I’m not going to go through some security questions with you - YOU phoned ME! Why do companies still encourage this unsafe behavior? Ask me to phone you back on a number from your website. Or better still, embed a secure phone app on your website and I’ll use that.

Try it by picking any two points at random, not just ones that form an edge?

This image, of the the ‘Colston Day’ procession in 2007, is really something. https://twitter.com/shonfaye/status/1269956625844121600

I love the names. SukakuExplainer doesn’t have your rule but it does suggest a “Turbot Fish” rule called “Skyscraper” which it says is “similar to a 2x2 Finned Sashimi X-Wing” https://github.com/SudokuMonster/SukakuExplainer Is there a connection to Bletchley Park’s fish-based naming scheme?
Replying to @robinhouston
Is there a GOFAI project that attempts to discover these rules?

GCHQ must be onto some really obscure fish names by now.
This from December. So happy to see the UK becoming more educated about its history. Let’s have a truth and reconciliation process for slavery and colonialism. https://twitter.com/tim_hutton/status/1201915882341093376

What I’m saying is - I don’t think we survived the Millenium.
When you near the end of a book, you can tell - because of the feel of few pages left (or the percent-remaining indicator). Hofstadter suggested that authors could disguise the true ending by padding their books with content that looks similar but is just nonsense… https://twitter.com/MeirionTweets/status/1275146271997779974

It should be easy to write an app that monitors the clipboard and strips out the formatting. Does such a thing already exist?

Replying to @musabkilic0 and @DuncanBSS
That app allows you to use e.g. Windows+V to paste without formatting. Or you can click the icon to convert the clipboard contents to unformatted. But I’d like one that converts automatically, on WM_CLIPBOARDUPDATE, so that Ctrl-V continues to work.

Works great, thanks!
Exactly this. Inequality is not just morally wrong but also very inefficient for an economy. https://twitter.com/primediscussion/status/1275825900244873216

My lawn is full of clover. The bees enjoy the flowers, and it’s easy to mow over.

Possibly a symptom of it being day 107 of quarantine but I’m thinking of installing a diving board, as shown here. It feels very appropriate, in a surreal sort of way, and would be useful for sitting on. Thoughts?
Replying to @fredbartels
The lawn is already the shape of a swimming pool. Perhaps this photo shows it better.
I hope I can count on your support at the insanity hearing.
The new string format feature in Python 3 is really pleasant to use! Put ‘f’ in front of the string and then anything in curly braces gets evaluated into the string. https://realpython.com/python-f-strings/
