“Just as I intended.”

Older and fatter for a start.

Or even average looking.

I had the exact same question a couple of years ago. I was a very long time UK ISO user, and then some of the keycaps on my keyboard broke. When looking at a replacement I fancied a mechanical DIY, so I bought a Glorious Gaming GMMK TKL, still UK ISO. But the selection of keycaps was small, even with UK sellers, e.g., on Etsy. So, I got an ANSI version of the same GMMK keyboard, and some nice blue & white keycaps from an Etsy UK based seller.

It took me a few weeks to get used to the layout. The Enter key is not a problem, it is things like @ and # not being where your muscle memory expects them. Also, the lack of a £ key. Because, being ANSI, you need to use the US keyboard layout in Windows, which does not have £ or €. Eventually I used the Microsoft keyboard layout generator to create a custom layout, with £ mapped to function 3. I think I mapped € too.

I can share my keyboard layout file if anyone wants it.

Imagine having to try and clean off a runny dog turd that is slowly sinking into your plastic lawn. You can blast it with a hose and turn it into a pool of dog shit slurry; if the lawn is on slope you can try to encourage it to slurp downhill.

From 32 billion kilometres away, to be misaligned by only two degrees is impressive.

Yes, and it also prides itself on journalistic values, unlike a lot of the Murdoch empire, for example.

Here in the UK I hardly ever see a pick-up truck, of any brand, yet in the USA they are the most popular vehicle? What’s the appeal?

I don’t know about Stackoverflow, but what the hell is going on with that graph? The timeline is all over the place.

I only use the BBC’s. No idea if it the “best”. What criteria are you using? Accuracy? Usability? Features? The bar is pretty low for a weather app.
