Tricky one, and also, entirely remote.
It truly is like magic being able to use my desktop computer from far away, and will be even better when I can work out how to summon Alfred. I use option-space on the Mac and cannot for the life of me work out how to send that from my iPad. Do you know?

But I think it needs a hyphen.
Is it really possible that in 2022 one cannot search iCloud drive for a filename that contains, rather than starts with, a target? And that one cannot save a search? This is awful. Someone, enlighten me, please.

My linguistic prejudices and blinkered attitude let me down.
@RJABuggs @FoodiePharma I'm hearing that the main cold store is safe and has mostly been safety. So while there is clearly a present threat, it just isn't true that any “terrible loss to plant genetic resources” has occurred. @LiseLykkeS may know more.
Ag Economists: would anyone be willing to either talk to me or point me to something that would help me to get a better understanding of this chart from USDA?

Very difficult one; pure guesswork that failed.

Really interesting essay from Tom Armitage, about getting on his bike and getting on. The thrill of those first long rides takes me right back to my first London to Brighton and the sheer unalloyed joy of whooshing down into the town.

Skipped yesterday because it revealed a flaw in my logic, now corrected.

Useful advice, in any situation.

Continuing my little excursions and using the IndieWebRing as my guide, I chanced up Chris DeLuca's CSS to Style a Novel https://www.chrisdeluca.me/article/base-css-to-style-a-novel/. I particularly liked the explanations for each of his chosen rules.
Very puzzled. My helper suggested only one possibility, and that wasn't it. Solved it without help, but ... whaddayaknow? The actual target word is not in the list. Salutary.

Nothing to brag about.
“having the resources to fact-check comes from a position of privilege” Huh? I suppose if you want someone else to check your facts that might be true, but still, why is anyone listening to this person?
To my knowledge this is the first time I've been mentioned over at Mastodon, so it seems only right and proper to see whether the wonders of IndieWeb allow me to reply there. Good to see old online friends but not sure I can handle another channel.

I feel a longer word deserves more turns and backspaces. Again, there's no point telling me when I have used both backspaces on my second turn, to clear and try again, if you are going to fill in the answer for me. I did get it, but won't spoil it.
@DianaEGarvin Where are you seeing teeth? The notches in the centre of the blade on the right are for holding the blade securely in the handle. They do not touch the face. The bit that shaves you is the shiny sharp edge.
@SarahTaber_bww Good to know. I guess you will announce the details here when the time comes?
Today's IndieWebRing excursion took me to https://jamesvandyne.com/ and prompts the question, what really attracts people make of Disneyland? Maybe I'm too old, but even in my thirties, when I visited Florida's for work, I was underwhelmed by it all, especially EPCOT. It just seems so ersatz.

I don’t get it. I was about to insert my guess, which involved a different letter in first position, but the field was already filled with a wrong answer.
Is it limited to three guesses? And why was the field filled in?
