That’s super helpful, thank you!

You’re absolutely right.

Oh great point. I’d add skiing to that category.

 

I can think of two:

  1. Speaking multiple languages, and
  2. Perfect pitch

Both are more easily learned at a young age. Are there others?

 

I'm excited to attend ACL Festival this year (my first time).

My partner and I would like to plan out our weekend. When do we learn the stages and times for different artists?

And a separate question: When can I buy this year's T-shirt? I only see 2022 for sale on the website.

Thanks!

As long as it’s not automated and spammy, i’m game.

 

The Voynich manuscript is an illustrated codex hand-written in an unknown script referred to as 'Voynichese'. The vellum on which it is written has been carbon-dated to the early 15th century (1404–1438). Stylistic analysis indicates it may have been composed in Italy during the Italian Renaissance. The origins, authorship, and purpose of the manuscript are debated. Hypotheses suggest that it is a script for a natural language or constructed language; an unread code, cypher, or other form of cryptography; or a meaningless hoax.

Cast iron? Yes. Stainless steel? Yes, but check temp. Nonstick? Better not

I’ll have to give it a try

I really like the legend mentioned in the article:

According to a legend of the local Torghut population, in 1372 a Mongol military general named Khara Bator was surrounded with his troops by the armies of the Ming dynasty. Diverting the Ejin River, the city's water source that flowed just outside the fortress, the Ming dynasty denied Khara-Khoto water for its gardens and wells. As time passed and Khara Bator realised his fate, he murdered his family and then himself. After his suicide, Khara Bator's soldiers waited within the fortress until Ming troops finally attacked and killed the remaining inhabitants.

I too am a Vim user learning Clojure. I am trying to use Cursive since I often use IntelliJ. I suspect the concept of structural editing will be powerful, but for now it's still an awkward process for me.
