I want a doughnut, :crying puppy eyes: send some here you can keep the coffee.
See i learned how to spell doughnut and i am proud of myself

When you learn how to capitalise 'i' you are going to be over the moon.

I never understood it. Why it should be capitalized if its not in the beggining of the sentence?

Ah. Well...now you ask...
In Old and Middle English, the word for "I" was closer to its German cousin "ich" and it was often spelled "ic" However, all languages change, and the pronunciation changed over time, losing the "c".
Trouble was, it looked bad: it was tiny, and easy to miss, so it slowly grew in size to make it more noticeable and readable - bear in mind that it was all hand-written (on expensive materials) in those days.
Slowly, the height grew, and it became a capital letter.
Interestingly, the only other accepted single-letter word in English "a" didn't do this, partly because it is less essential to the sentence, and partly because the capital "A" is more intrusive visually!

I'll email you a couple...
They really don't post well: I had a girlfriend who worked a CERN in Geneva while I was in England, and she mained about the lack of doughnuts. So I posted her half dozen. By the time they arrived they were about 1cm thick and you could have used them for hockey...

Maimed? That is a bit excessive.

Yes postal services are just epic, especially ours here. In the beggining of February around 10th we received some xmas cookies from one of the firm's offices i believe in Poland or France i am not sure which one sent them. This little fact didn't distract us from eating them

So what does giant actually taste of?

Like cordon bleu. A lot of it.

We shall have far too many tonight and will all feel sick afterwards. Bally brilliant!

Oh, pancake day. Thanks for reminding me!

Yes, but...are you a maple syrup, or a lemon-and-sugar person?
Citrous every time for me!

Some lemon & sugar and other with turo [it's a Hungarianian thing dontchaknow]

Man! That's gonna be one BIG pancake![^]

The link was on that page for Túró[^]; sorry I didn't go all out with accents earlier as I thought all all vowels [where you use them] are the same in Welsh Wales

Welsh has the same vowels as English, plus 'w' and'y', but the pronunciation is different: it doesn't vary in welsh the way it does in English. Instead, we have accents: circumflex (^), which lengthens the sound of the vowel, and the acute (´), which shortens it. Occasionally the diaresis appears on the letter ï, to signify a doubling of the sound.
And we change the word start to make it easier (and better sounding) to say - called mutation.
Surprisingly, it's one of the oldest unchanged languages in Europe: 14th century Welsh bibles are immediately readable to a "modern" Welsh reader.
But... It does look like it was English spelt by a 6year old sometimes!

You're right yummy.
I've seen pictures of Pythons in the everglades area that have eaten gators and in one case died trying because it was too big.

Like this[^] one? Soh! (snake for 'Doh!').

Yeah that one, little bugger got greedy.

Lucky I have the ability to chew or I might meet a similar fate, as sometimes my eyes are bigger than my stomach.

New magnetic material could boost electronics[^]
The material combines thin layers of nickel and vanadium oxide, creating a structure which is surpisingly responsive to heat.
"We can control the magnetism in just a narrow range of temperature - without applying a magnetic field. And in principle we could also control it with voltage or current," said Prof Schuller.
"At low temperatures, the oxide is an insulator. At high temperatures it's a metal. And in between it becomes this strange material," he said.
Although it's too early to say exactly how it will be used, Prof Schuller sees an obvious opportunity in computing memory systems.
The article notes the last time a discovery like this was made, giant magnetoresistance[^] or GMR in 1988. GMR is the technology that allows hard drives to be so small and dense. If this new tech has a similar impact...

Long gone are the days when somebody discovers something and actually builds something useful, demonstrating its usefulness, rather than making conjecture to garnish brief media coverage. Science has devolved into "we see opportunities!" Venture capitalists probably love that stuff, but probably the smart ones don't.
Anyways, I ramble.
I notice that when my cat eats his food, it leaves distinct patterns of crumbs in the bowl. I see obvious opportunities in applying prediction theory of cat crunchy crumbs with quantum crumbodynamics to predict when my cat will be hungry next. Send me money to research this further, as I want to create a "smart bowl" to alert me on my phone when my cat is hungry.
I think I'll head over to Kickstarter to submit my video of my cat eating.
