I see very impressive, very complicated #graphs with curves in my TL these days. And again and again the outcry: Why don't people want to understand that!?

Quite simply: because even highly educated non-specialists can't interpret these graphs. Because you show no #context. Tip: Tell the #story behind it! Tell it so that EVERYONE understands it. (That's why I love news for children: they do it!) A survey showed: people want more #explications.1/2

#TrumpTrial Thurs 9 May, 2024 🧵

The prosecution asks that the defense be precluded from asking #StormyDaniels whether she was arrested. Justice #Merchan agrees w/the prosecutors, saying that “anybody can be arrested” & that it “doesn’t prove anything.”

The people call Stormy Daniels back to the stand

#Trump atty #Necheles begins questioning by saying that in 2011, Daniels denied having had sex w/Trump.

asks if she tweeted in response to an attack by a stranger who called her "a disgusting degenerate prostitute" & wished her luck walking down the street.

Defense had asked her about responding to this tweet by saying she would "dance down the street" if found himself in trouble. But Hoffinger is showing the full of that exchange, & it's different from what the jury had been led to understand by defense.

Gibt’s hier jemanden mit -Kenntnissen und Langeweile?

Mein -Plugin für könnte deutlich besser sein (ich kann kein TS und pflege nur die Befehlsliste), es gibt einen Tree-Sitter-Parser, der integriert werden könnte, und das Plugin pdfjs-viewer müsste aktualisiert werden (Maintainy wird gesucht).

Gerade krabbelte eine (kleine) Spinne meinen Vorhang hinauf. Ich mich kurz erschreckt 😨

Gleich darauf, ich zur Spinne: "Haste dich eigentlich angemeldet, um hier in meinen Vorhängen zu krabbeln? 🤔"

Most of us make a moral and practical distinction between illegal and "illegal" activities. The latter being common activities objectively against some agreed upon law, but considered acceptable by most of society, and in most situations.

Examples being driving 71 in a 70km/hr zone, no-trace wildcamping deep in a forest, and taking one flower seed from a natural reserve.

Does the English language have a good single word descriptor for "illegal" activities?

@Pepijn Most words imply more than one meaning. Within the context of your question, I'd go with #1 above. But it depends on how you intend to use the word you are looking for.

Oh my, the weekend is nearly over. But it was a productive one for :

– submitted a PR to enhance ConTeXt support in (https://github.com/TeXworks/texworks/pull/1050)
– send a few fixes to Hans Hagen to enable installing some more modules with mtxrun (handlecsv, presvoz, president, statistical-charts, sudoku), fixing an install problem and for editor support
– tinkered with my book after researching details, like always
– beside, I used the too-hot weather for laundry

I was not sure if this would work:
I tried to put a code example construction that uses buffers, side-by-side placement and line numbering in a float – and it just works!
Amazing, if you can imagine how complex this is internally.
(And that’s why it’s so frustrating if something that “should be” easy just won’t work…)

I know there’s a newer version somewhere…
