Yes, I think the US pint is 16 Oz (2 cups), whereas the UK pint is 20 Oz (4 gills).

See what you mean: the Yamaha Revstar doesn’t have Yamaha on the headstock, but does have the tuning forks.

But other Yamahas don’t have the tuning forks but do say Yamaha. Eg. https://uk.yamaha.com/en/products/musical_instruments/guitars_basses/el_guitars/sg/index.html

I think there was a period, pre Revstar, when motorbikes had the tuning forks but none of the Yamaha guitars did.

Yamaha makes lots of other musical instruments too.

The thing that puzzles me is that the Yamaha logo, 3 tuning forks, makes sense for instruments that you tune. But I’ve only seen it on their motorbikes.

I encountered something like this at work. It wasn’t pass related, it was just a means of getting people to make text responses. Ampersands were replaced with some gibberish format, which annoyed everyone.

I got some kind of explanation from our tech people, which I understood to mean that ampersand was used to indicate that what followed was live code. Turning the ampersand into gibberish text was a safety measure to stop mischief.

I’ve noticed ampersand replacements in some news feeds too

Can’t you change function keys in Settings, on your Mac?

Otherwise, you can use Karabiner on a Mac to remap keys.

Yes, that’s true. Keychain Access helps a lot.

My understanding is that your GF will be using Apple’s KeyChain, which is pretty good except that it’s hard to look inside and manually edit. It’s not just in Safari.

The upcoming Password app is just a nice user interface to KeyChain. So no change to the functionality as such, but I think it’ll make a big difference to how it’s used.

This has changed since I did biology. I remember:

I (interphase) Pissed myself At Tracey’s

…same feeling about Shottr for the Mac. It has much nicer editing features than the standard Mac system and you can add extra screenshots or files.

Similar, here.

Stopped at lights on drive into work next to a woman at the wheel, spooning down her breakfast from a bowl.

Someone, I told at work asked if you could get into trouble for this…maybe not the first time, but, yes, if you’re a cereal offender.

That’s an answer to a different question. Mine was: are there any improvements in public health?
