I like them. Much more comfortable than some I've worn over the years. Decent quality too, and there are options for colder weather variants.

One of my two favourite bears has just been seen, with her cub. No matter what else is going on with the world, things are all right in one small part of Alaska.

My local independent bookshop has a loyalty scheme. Every book you buy gets a stamp on a card. 10 stamps and you get free tea and cake.
I have fallen into this trap so many times....

Turns out that everyone was right!
Partial cancellation, then delay!
I'm on it though, and I have a seat. So I don't mind too much.

The train that came south as LKX then decided it wanted to go to Edinburgh instead, and the train that came north as Out of Service, went south as LKX.
I suspect rolling stick fuckery, but importantly, I got on the right one.

Additionally, trying to get home, the train on one side of the platform is for London, the train on the other side of the platform is for London.
Don't we have Up and Down lines anymore?

@r-p-one.bsky.social and I usually go to The Skinner's Arms when in that vicinity. It's closer to KX-SP but has decent beer and food.

Most likely shallows.
Is there a stream nearby though? Could also be two water masses of slightly different densities not mixing.

I strongly recommend reading that guidence link and working their points into your replies. The questions asked are specific legal things, so ours replies must be shaped to fit that, although there is a freer feedback section at the end I'm told (I'm taking a break part way, it's hard going)

I have a Steam Deck, which works for most things, but I do some TTRPG emulator gaming that relies on browers etc. Reminds me though, I need to hunt out the dock for my deck, I've put it somewhere safe....

We've just replaced some and so took an old one apart. The spring and diaphragm sit between the cover and black base. Once sufficient pressure is exerted it pushes that metal stud into the hole in the base and releases the blade to cut the rope. That allows whatever it's attached to to float free

I think my first port of call is going to be the head of our R&D dept, he's been helpful and encouraging in the past

Thanks.
There's part of me that just wants to go all in and do a straight PhD, but there's no way I could afford to quit my job, /and/ I'm actually lucky in that I enjoy my work, hence the pipe dream of my via publication.
Going to have to have another chat with our R&D dept I think.
