there was this other, similar town pronounced -bruh or -boro that people talked about.

You were so close: Edinburgh only got its name after Edward I invaded Scotland in 1296. Before that it (which was then a larger area than the present Edinburgh) had just been called “the Burgh”, which depending on regional variation would have been pronounced either “burg” or “boro”. “Edinburgh” referred to a smaller area within the Burgh that the king’s guards would patrol more severely due to the perceived increased risk of rebellion due to higher population density.

Reading through their mail merge tutorial, their method looks insanely risky: putting all addresses in “to” and rembering to click another button.

That’s really interesting. So does that mean the interpreter just checks whether the current line is more indented, less indented, or equal vs. the preceding, without caring by how much?

Please elaborate (eg which standard is this defined in?)

IIRC Cloudflare is the only registrar that doesn’t mark up from wholesale prices, or something like that. Basically makes them cheaper than most other registrars. I think the point is that they can then sell you their other (related) services more easily — the services that actually make them money.

I meant it more in the sense of one channel, when shutting down for the night, emitting the “next channel” tone such that every viewer’s set would change to a channel that was still broadcasting.

Would it have been possible for the speakers of the time to emit those frequencies? Imagining the equivalent of a Twitch raid: “I’m done broadcasting so I’m going to send you to the next channel.”

Pure speculation: could this have been motivated, to any extent, by some desire to maintain a predictable portion of the population conscriptable, given that only men are conscripted?

The war isn’t going quite in the way Putin would have hoped, after all.

Isn’t soap technically self-dirtying since it’s supposed to get dirt to cling to it rather than your skin?

Aka “(Korean) Italy towels”.

My tech background is in the fact that our family computer in the early 2000s wasn’t powerful enough to do much and my parents wouldn’t pay for games, so I spent a ton of time digging around in Control Panel and system files and messing up the BIOS settings.

My studies have all been in the humanities and I’ve never worked in an actual tech role; I got into scripting and self-hosting because I’m lazy, I like FOSS, and I like systems that work in the way I tell them to rather than how someone else thinks they should work.

An umbrella makes a crazy difference, I basically won’t leave the house without at least a lightweight one in summer.

Note not all umbrellas block UV equally though.
