Today in ISO date format is 2021-12-02; which, without punctuation, is 20211202. When reversed, it is still 20211202.
Next (I guess) will be 2101-10-12

I did say that I had guessed! Obviously wrongly. Thanks for the correction.

Not ISO format!

Hey Joe, when did you escape from the volcano?
Thar's only two possibilities: Thar is life out there in the universe which is smarter than we are, or we're the most intelligent life in the universe. Either way, it's a mighty sobering thought. (Porkypine - via Walt Kelly)

You wouldn't believe how often I have that kind of reaction when people show me some new and fancy app on their smartphones. Or how they can make their living room lighting change in waves between different colors. Or their 20,000 LED decoration of their home, in celebration of something. Or ...
I tend to phrase my reaction as "And what is it for, really?" What's in it for me? Nothing. But let them have it, those who care. Let them have mathematical puzzles, too, if they like it. Palindromes (by the way: spelled with an i, not an e) is a sort of mathematical puzzle. I certainly won't condemn all sorts of puzzles.
Live on time, emit no evil!

First time in a while it's still been live when I get to read it. Got it but can't take it as the Mrs recently had surgery and I'm having to do everything at home whilst trying to squeeze in work where I can. So, time to contemplate the 6 foot ironing pile (seriously, I swear she insists on me washing an item of clothing or bedding if I so much as glance in its general direction!)

I recently saw a message on LinkedIn from a Richard Leyshon who is a data science lecturer at the ONS are you that person ? hope your wife recovers soon.

Good God no, nobody would trust me to teach people things! Thank you, she's doing well and in about 45 mins I have to try and manoeuvre her into the car for a hospital trip then with any luck, she's "off the books" and should be "back at it" pretty soon.

Glad to hear that, now get on with the ironing - I don't mind it once I actually start - my wife suffers from arthritis in her arm which ironing aggravates

I suffer from idleness which ironing aggrivates!
Decided I don't have time to make much of an impact now so squeezing in half an hour's work before hospital.

What is this ironing thing you speak of??!?!??
If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.
