I feel like a dork asking this but can anyone recommend a good (ideally text not video) dummies guide to using Teams? I feel like we suddenly started using it in 2020 without any real guidance so I only know how through experience/experiment and I am sure I am doing it wrong half the time.

Typhoid is transmitted via the fecal-oral route, though, while Mary Poppins is airborne.
Or is this a warning from your lab?

-5% terrify the grocery people by wrapping yourself in the curtains and doing a big stretch at them?

Oh wow, that is huge.
Please tell me I can look forward to -5% behaviours report because you assaulted the grocery delivery people?

Stone fruit are all roastable too, and pineapple, and ... banana? I roast apricots before turning them into jam.

Blurry closeup of a small calico cat and a large black cat in a box together.  They each have a paw resting on the front edge of the box, and are looking at the camera.  It's blurry because in 0.0001 second they will both bounce up and out.  They were really cute before the photographer ruined their peace!

See also: no technology should go on the market without passing inspection by the sort of person who immediately thinks "how could an evil stalker ex use this having been given full access before they became an ex?"

Thank you for the poodle pics. I grew up with poodles* and miss them so much; if I got dogs it would be poodles.**
(*our childhood poodles were white (Cauliflower) and black (Broccoli))
(**I would get five white poodles and dye them sugared almond colours)

I just can't summon any outrage about the hellocobber shelve after all these years. GI Joe has got this. Mum has got this. Gonzo has earned this!

omg do West Wing, it is simultaneously great and excruciating.
I considered doing Buffy, but doubt anyone would be interested.
Do Sopranos or Breaking Bad? You may tempt me to watch them.

A lot of technology goes into a guitar, and he wants to make more guitars in the future.

Woman in back left of photo is labeled: "Plato, talking about the dangers of poetry."
Woman in front is labeled "Aristotle" and she's licking a coffee cup labeled "Poetry"

I'd have loved to be a fly on the wall of the Academy during the time that Aristotle studied with Plato.

(Non cat related community question; what classic, well regarded childrens book, traumatised you as a child? Mine is β€œThe red pony,” it’s so sad when the colt dies, but the worst scene is Jody cutting up a bird.)
