Oi! People my age, listen up.
When you see a kid wearing a band t-shirt, it's not time for you to play band police and ask them to name 3 songs by the band.
Instead, why not engage with them and ask them what their favorite song by that band is.
Or suggest they check out this other, similar band they may not be familiar with.
The Name 3 songs by that band joke is TIRED and not done elsewhere.
I drive Subaru. "Name 3 other cars they make!"

Fernwartung als Couch-Koop-Spiel: "Elsewhere Electric" ausprobiert
Elsewhere Electric hat ein interessantes Spielkonzept, das VR- und Smartphone-Nutzer gemeinsam spielen lässt. Doch bei näherem Hinsehen zeigen sich Schwächen.

Among US adults who have ever encountered paywalled articles, only 1% said they paid for access, 53% looked elsewhere, and 32% gave up on accessing the info (Pew Research Center)

Few Americans pay for news when they encounter paywalls
Among adults who have not paid for news in the past year, the most common reason they cite is that they can find plenty of other news articles for free.

Zionism is, and always has been, a genocidal, settler colonial project.
It is the justification for and the ideology behind the literal genocide that is being committed by Israel right now, at this very moment, against the Palestinian people. A genocide that is being live streamed in posts here and elsewhere by its victims.
To equate all Jews with Zionism, as Zionists do – in other words, to state that all Jews are genocidal settler-colonialists – is antisemitic.

Nu nåede jeg forbi Dio, og … det gik godt nok ned af bakke. Jeg elsker Gillian i gammelt Deep Purple, og jeg kan godt sætte pris på, at de prŸver at lave noget andet, der passer mere til hans stemme, men hvis det ikke var min mission at hŸre det hele, så havde jeg godt nok trykket “næste” på det meste af Born Again.

If you're looking for a cell plan in Canada, I've been with Public Mobile, ‘discount Telus’, for years and am happy with their service. This is my referral link. You get a $10 credit and I get a "point”.
Their website is minimalist and good. Telus’ network is reliable and widespread (uses Bell elsewhere). You can order a SIM/eSIM online.
I have 40GB 5G for $35/mo unlimited in Canada. They have a special for 60GB 5G Canada/US/Mexico.

Cycling question: trying out saddles, in the UK
UK cycling people, is there somewhere you'd go to sit on different saddles to test if they're comfortable? Is that a thing?
I've worked out that my (default came-with-the-bike) saddle isn't the right shape for me: it's giving me an achy tailbone, as well as I think being a bit too narrow for optimal sit-bone comfort.
For context, I'm an "occasional cyclist for pleasure and/or practical reasons", shall we say. No ambition to be super fast.
Looking around online, I think I want something more like the Rido R2 or one of the Selle ones, shaped to have air under the tailbone area. Or maybe even a noseless one like the Spongy Wonder, though I don't like the look of how the metal frame sticks out at the front of those.
What's the chances a shop would have more than one of those and a willingness to get them out for a test sit? Or, better still, is there a loan scheme anywhere, so you can actually "test drive" them for a bit? Or do people usually just buy and be willing to sell again?
I'm in Nottingham, and I know there are bike shops I could get to, but I'm not seeing "come in and try all these saddles, we'll help you to find the right one" kinds of messaging.
Could also potentially travel elsewhere at some point if it turns out there's some kind of "best place in the country for that question".
Advice welcome!

Row Polymorphic Programming
Sometimes, especially when dealing with business logic, we have to deal with data that comes in from the real world, or elsewhere, naturally very messily typed, leading to nasty type signatures and messes of macros or code generation to build data structures from a schema. Row polymorphism can help us by abstracting over the fields contained in a record type in the type signature, letting us define records based on data, concatenate records together, and define functions that are generic across…
