I like some variant of STIX (I never know the exact difference) and Gillius Sans

Venus has a retrograde day that is longer than it's year.

While the atmosphere is a big problem, even without this issue the rotation would be problematic.

I don't know.... It tells me that by car I can get someplace (that's geography close!) in < 15 min, but it's always taken me 20...

It upsets me that the only widely available versions of Amadeus now is the "extended edition," which fundamentally alters the film’s core message.

In the original theatrical cut, Salieri is a deeply flawed but fascinating character—a man consumed by jealousy, yet also in awe of Mozart’s genius. His sabotage of Mozart is tragic, not just because of what it does to Mozart, but because Salieri himself recognizes the beauty he is trying to destroy. There’s a complexity there: Salieri hates Mozart, but he also admires him. He wishes, more than anything, that he could be his friend, but he cannot overcome his own bitterness.

The extended edition, however, adds a crucial change: Salieri doesn’t just work against Mozart—he actively humiliates Mozart’s wife, Constanze. This transforms Salieri from a tormented, conflicted figure into something much simpler: a villain. Instead of a man waging a war against God through Mozart, he’s just a petty, lecherous schemer.

The real Antonio Salieri was not some scheming villain—he was a respected composer, teacher, and conductor who mentored some of the greatest musicians of the next generation, including Beethoven, Schubert, and Liszt.

As a kid, I was really excited to try out binoculars, and "see for myself" the so-called "binocular shot." I was very disappointed.

Pretty much exactly how I write. (My lower case zeta is prettier)

I believe Wiles' proof requires the case of n=3 (Euler), and n=4 (Fermat) separately. That is, Wiles' proof starts with n=5 for nontrivial reasons.

So it is more likely that Fermat saw n=4, and thought the rest would be similar.

It would be good for storing passwords that you don't want to lose (assuming the USB drive is stored in a safe place.... Like in a safe or under your bed)
