Exploring, failing, backtracking, just to identify the only viable path forward. And then scarred, stumbling forward into the future. Learning.
Boring and steady. Knowing little and questioning a lot. Mostly harmless.

This is an experimental scrapbook space. A collection of stuff I want to keep in a form somewhere on the spectrum between a blog and a shoe-box full of scraps, cut-outs, quotes, links and reading notes and sometimes my own silly thoughts about them.
Perhaps it might be of marginal interest to others too, but I don't care that much.

@onlmaps And there are still 3 diphtongs in Slovak language which _do not_(!) have an associated character - it would make some more... A missed opportunity there!

@z428 Good eye for cool colours and composition. Thanks for posting.

@academicalnerd Or you use a synchrotron light source, or a free-electron laser as the X-ray source.
@z428 Very nice point of view.

@z428 Very interesting indeed. Not only because it provides a bit of a light on why and how FDP is perceived as it is (see my - now perhaps corrected thought at https://qoto.org/@FailForward/107002304960224138), but interestingly for me, also an insight into the way of thinking of people few decades younger than I am. The way this blog/piece is written gives me a good hope that we are generally heading in the right direction 🙂 . Thanks for a stimulating pointer.

Not that I particularly like this style of music, but the piece goes into a collection with [All Time Low: Monsters](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NlnwXIigAAs). Both feature storyline around "monsters" in lyrics and in a way are about the same topic.
Worth keeping.
@kensanata That. And also forgetting "bottom-line up front" is a constant source of frustration. Either when I forget, or the other party does a poor job.
Not in my world. Fortunately. Only very rarely I get into conversations where the other party missed the rest of the e-mail because of top posting expectation.
