…I had to think about that one!

Another one common one:

PLEASE USE BOTH LANES

Good one.

Reminds me of THIS DOOR IS ALARMED.

Uncanny.

Do you fall over often?

Not claiming to have read the source that thoroughly, and there are parts of the analysis that I’m unfamiliar with; but you could get this outcome if there were more bikers than hockey players, even if biking was no more dangerous than hockey.

Wago connectors are great…wish someone had got me some!

Used to work with an Australian woman who described her headlights as on full beam on a cold day in the UK

Same in the UK :-(

Saw them when this album came out. On with The The, I think. V good.

The problem is that you can’t send from Hide My Email, except in a reply.

I use it a lot but if I think that I’ll need to contact by email by the HME address, I use one of my AppleID aliases.

Yes, I think the US pint is 16 Oz (2 cups), whereas the UK pint is 20 Oz (4 gills).

Aah. Thank you. I think I know, now.

Years ago, I used to live quite close and would go often. Lots of goths carefully considering jet jewellery

Maybe pre-steampunk-gear days

(I’m bluffing…I have absolutely no idea what that means!).

One of the other reasons that goths love to visit Whitby.

See what you mean: the Yamaha Revstar doesn’t have Yamaha on the headstock, but does have the tuning forks.

But other Yamahas don’t have the tuning forks but do say Yamaha. Eg. https://uk.yamaha.com/en/products/musical_instruments/guitars_basses/el_guitars/sg/index.html

I think there was a period, pre Revstar, when motorbikes had the tuning forks but none of the Yamaha guitars did.

Yamaha makes lots of other musical instruments too.

The thing that puzzles me is that the Yamaha logo, 3 tuning forks, makes sense for instruments that you tune. But I’ve only seen it on their motorbikes.

I encountered something like this at work. It wasn’t pass related, it was just a means of getting people to make text responses. Ampersands were replaced with some gibberish format, which annoyed everyone.

I got some kind of explanation from our tech people, which I understood to mean that ampersand was used to indicate that what followed was live code. Turning the ampersand into gibberish text was a safety measure to stop mischief.

I’ve noticed ampersand replacements in some news feeds too

Can’t you change function keys in Settings, on your Mac?

Otherwise, you can use Karabiner on a Mac to remap keys.
