I think it's going to be harder for people to take on board the idea that any amount of alcohol is bad for you as, intuitively, I still believe that, in moderation, it can have some positive affects such as de-stressing and aiding sleep. Mind you, I suppose you could say some of the same about smoking and I can intuitively accept that any amount of that is bad for you.

Well, I've never smoked [tobacco] and [apart from a bit of a 'sociable relapse' over Christmas] haven't drunk for over a year now. So I should live forever!

  >You described Germany! Britain and France are quite independent...

France, on the other hand, were historically probably the Western European nation most likely to tell the US 'Non!' --although, that seems to be increasingly a thing of the past now too.

The number one skill in learning to draw is learning to see properly. The vast majority of non-artistic people look at things without ever really seeing them. A classic example can be found on Gianluca Gimini's Velocipedia project:

Here's a another example:

Mechanically filling a page with shapes or following some idiotic 'how to draw a...' tutorial on YouTube will only teach you how to fill a page with shapes or make a bad copy of someone else's bad drawing. Learning to really look at things and attempting to put down what you see [as opposed to what you thought the item looked like before you actually studied it] is a far far more useful exercise.

I take your point that this article might provide some useful exercises for loosening up your doodling technique, to people who find it awkward to manipulate a pen or pencil freely. But calling it 'learning to draw' is as hyperbolic as calling some warm-up stretches 'learning to run a marathon'.

I humbly withdraw my snidey comment [although not the bit in regards to the Fediverse!]

Also, its autofill functionality is completely broken on Android, and has been since forever. So, while it's preferable to LastPass, it's still pretty mediocre.

  >I read a hard copy that was passed around my high school in the early 90s...

As I recall it was pretty subversive in content, with sections on sex, drugs and anrachist politics.

EDIT: Seems it was quite well-known after all. Wikipaiedia has an article on it:

  DEFINITION: Hatchling -- a young animal that has recently emerged from its egg.

  >Name an era when "stuff from 20 years ago" was not a nostalgia trend.

Unfortunately, very few digital cameras have GPS tagging built itn. They nearly all require pairing with your smartphone to 'attach' GPS data via Bluetooth when you take a shot. But most of the time, I forget to activate this before going out with the camera.

  >They were terrible....

I wonder whatever happened to the company that made them? Probably went bankrupt, soon after inflicting that monstrosity on an unsuspecting world.

  >Oh my god this makes me feel ancient now. 

For me it occurred about 5 years ago when I used to teach at a university. The first time I picked up an application form from an 18 year old applicant, which had the year of birth filled in as '2000', I thought it was a typo. It barely seemed like a handful of years since I'd been seeing in the new millenium at some sleazy nightclub --and here I was interviewing 'adults', who weren't even born then.
