That’s two levels deep, and an amazing take.

The subtext there might be that Dr Strange felt so hopeless about the situation that he didn’t conceive to look into the possibility, out of an infinite number of them.

I spent a couple of winters in Fairbanks Alaska, and was quite surprised with just how hot it gets up there in the summer, even as far north as the Arctic Circle.

That’s quite a nice typeface. I find myself torn between serif vs sans; when reading a book it’s so ingrained to expect serif (I switched from Bookerly) that my eyes stuttered a bit when I started Atkinson’s.

As long as I can get the OTF or TTF files, I’ll try em all. You have any more?

Thank you for that suggest. I had taken a peek at it a while ago and it’s too “wobbly” for me.

They’re letting the terrorism button cool off a bit, considering its basically not been let up since September 2001.

I just added this to my eReader. I’ve been reading a lot lately and while I haven’t had any difficulty, I’m eager to see if it enhances comprehension.

Good post OP.

You are born in a city that has been walled off from the rest of the world, and you've been told your entire life that the outside is dangerous, do you think you would ever visit the outside world? in c/[email protected]

This is the plot of The Village by M Night Shyamalan. Good movie.

In which country are you located?

If you’re in the US, Hamstudy.org for the amateur bands, and if you plan to use the drone for hire (FAA Part 107), then you’d need to get a Part 107 certificate: https://www.faa.gov/uas/commercial_operators/become_a_drone_pilot#ftp.

Technically, it didn't count as a SOTA :( in c/[email protected]

Getting on air is what matters, POTA/SOTA are bonuses. Congrats!

At this moment, for example, in 1984 (if it was 1984), Oceania was at war with Eurasia and in alliance with Eastasia. In no public or private utterance was it ever admitted that the three powers had at any time been grouped along different lines. Actually, as Winston well knew, it was only four years since Oceania had been at war with Eastasia and in alliance with Eurasia. But that was merely a piece of furtive knowledge which he happened to possess because his memory was not satisfactorily under control. Officially the change of partners had never happened. Oceania was at war with Eurasia: therefore Oceania had always been at war with Eurasia. The enemy of the moment always represented absolute evil, and it followed that any past or future agreement with him was impossible.
