You would think so, in the same way that cashiers should be able to make change.

Looks like he's doing music now[^]. Sounds like there's a vocoder involved rather than singing talent but maybe I am wrong.

Probably Auto-tune.
not bad, but not ground breaking or inspiring music (from that single sample)

Off by one error after a div 4.
Classic mistake. We've all done it, right?

Correct. But...
Luckily, Usain believed the journalist and thought it was a good time to retire.

Given the last Olympics without Usain Bolt was in 2000 the statement "the Tokyo Olympics will be the first in more than two decades without him." appears correct to me.

The last Olympics with him was in 2016. The first one without him was in 2020. You don't reference someone's career before it ever starts.

I was pointed at this site: Rubies and amethysts - PixelFederation[^] which clearly favours "Dark Theme" style over any type of usability. Black text on a very dark grey background, anyone?

Went there for sh1t and giggles, and you're right...I thought at first it was black text on a black background, so I suspected something was broken and the browser simply gave up on any attempt to continue reading back CSS or any rendering style, leaving everything in whatever state it just happened to be in.
But no, it actually is very dark text on a black background, at least in the sense that if I crank the brightness/contract of my monitor, I can sort of see the ghostly outline of the individual paragraphs. But it's all completely unreadable.
That cannot be what whoever wrote it anticipated.

Hmmmm,
I have always been known for going that extra mile to achieve sensory deprivation[^] which enhances my natural abilities, I'm not sure how or why that works.
But I can tell you that the person using that color scheme is probably sitting in a completely black/dark room.

It beats faint light grey text on a white background.
What is it with designers these days?

Interesting I get white text on a dark background, some grey but only the links.

After all these years, I am just now starting to watch this series on Amazon Prime Video w/Showtime subscription.
I am finishing up with season 3, with 4 more seasons to go.
Absolutely awesome!! I highly recommend it, if you have the chance and care to bother.
My wife and I recently finished Sons of Anarchy. Excellent, as well.
Interesting pattern: both series revolve around Irish criminals, both in the U.S. and in Ireland. This was not a motivating factor for me choosing them, just happenstance.

One of the few shows both me and the missus enjoy, I think there's one more season left, looking forward to it.

Did you know that if you rest one testicle on top of an empty beer bottle and hold a naked flame at the base, eventually it gets sucked inside?
If you did know this and you know how to get it out, please message me...urgently!
