@arclight In my world they get Markdown or LaTeX (or some abominable hybrid of the two) or they get sod all.

Gah! First two tyres needed replacing, then the other two needed replacing, and now the damned boot lock is buggered! 😩

The UK needs something like CSPAN, but exempt from tv "licensing". Participating in democracy shouldn't have a price tag.

@freemo @airfoils Some smartarse living near us has their house number stencilled on their recycling bin as an expression including square roots/exponents. I bet the local council hate them. 😂

My favorite past time: Using arbitrary fractions to describe the time... "It is currently two sevenths to 3"

BBC Director General Tim Davie says that the corporation's impartiality guidelines are "equally applied to people being critical of the left and the right."

@helma This country is getting more and more insane by the day. 😥

@david_colquhoun Good to see Phelps-Roper has managed to turn her life around after leaving the vile madness of the WBC.
