Don't worry, a single EMP in low earth orbit should take them all out, right?

At my kids daycare they rotated spreads on breads and crackers to encourage kids to eat a wide variety of foods.
So the kids alternated between marmite on rice crackers and vegemite on rice crackers every day for ~4 years.
We're mainly a marmite house, but we keep both in the cupboard.
In the great Maramite shortage https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marmite_(New_Zealand)#2012%E2%80%9313_%22Marmageddon%22_shortage people bought out both vegemite and marmite jars that were decades old and still palatable.

I'm a native English speaker and I can assure you that we have a word for that, "natafelen"; I just stole it from the Dutch.
Next time I'm traveling, I''ll correct your pronunciation.

Those are reruns.

They weren't cached when I tried. It might have been just after you updated?

Their approach is a risk-based one, which I find a little weak sauce, but it's probably what they need since they're attempting to lead by consensus.
@neil@mastodon.neilzone.co.uk may be interested in this.
Know a website that use to be on an old domain that's now hosting badware? Here's how to encode that in #wikidata:

I have a #wikipedia draft I'd like feedback on, particularly from #museum / #gallery / #GLAM types:

It loaded eventually.
I looked at https://friendsof.wiki/wiki/John_Stuart_Yeates
Most of the links are to his region of birth, which is not the most interesting thing.

Too early in the hype cycle for that.
Doesn't capital only roll out the minority voices once the crash has started to deny the existence of the crash? Once they've given up up on convincing the straight white men.

Please take a moment to pause this #wikimania and realise that wiki was just fine before the #WMF and will almost certainly continue to be fine after the #WMF
Forks are hard because negotiating common cause with other folks is hard, but we need to be negotiating common cause anyway.
If your common cause is not being reflected by WMF leadership and paid staff, have a think about why that might be.
Someone is postering on WGTN Kelburn campus for submissions for a new publication called "The Acropolis" based around "The Freedom Of Speech".
Not a VUWSA registered club (I checked this morning). Posters in multiple versions, all in FSU colours.

What country are you in? In .nz there's a regularly published list of names you can't use. 99% of them seem to be impersonating nobility things (king, count, lord, etc).
I've got slides for an up coming talk I'm going, a complete beginners guide to linked data for librarians.
Where are the cool kids putting slides these days? Still slideshare.com?
[I don't care so much about being cool, mainly about people being able to find the slides.]

Not really a royalist, but he's doing a better job of this than anything i can imagine Trump doing.

The 'just wait and an editor will pick it up eventually' advice that I always give others turns out to be hard advice to follow.

You appear to be trying to improve the on-wiki culture of #wikipedia, which is an aspiration I approve of.
However, you don't seem to be announcing / discussing / promoting / fronting / socialising these documents on-wiki. Unless you do, I guarantee that the documents will be ignored.
Please ping me if/when an on-wiki discussion is started; I have thoughts and will attempt to be constructive.

Given how many trapdoor spiders there are across the world, I'm guessing doors.
@futurebird@sauropods.win probably has the scoop on door-using ants too.
As far as I know there are no natural wheels.
