The FBI produced this nice chart comparing what kinds of privacy leaks the various messaging apps have.
Some more calligraphy practice. I see improvement on every attempt.

I find that while the Republicans usually try to pretend the problems they create arent problems at all (its a feature not a bug!) That the democrats on the other hand try to blame everything on someone else, usually the republicans.
With a bit of practice im slowly getting back up to speed...

sometime ago I had a calculator app which required you to make a decent estimate of the answer before it would give you the exact result
problem is "estimation/guess calculator" searches are so vague it makes them impossible to find online
does anyone know the company that made the app and/or physical calculator? trying to get hold of the physical version for Xmas
@freemo @calligraphy idk about english, but for german there were specific rules where to use long s and normal s.
slight digression: i sometimes miss those old, more organic style of things. they have a more human quality imho. the same goes for old fonts. e.g. i like garamond very much because it feels organic and less sterile than more modern fonts like grotesque.
Playing with the archaic long-s style.
1 is the modern form,
2 would be the form from 18th century and before,
3 is replacing all styles of s with the long-s

Hmmm... I am considering if I want to start using the archaic long-s in my copperplate writing... Let me try to do an example and see how I like it.
Its like saying "condoms are proven to work"... well yea, but not when you reuse them a dozen times and take them half-off half a dozen times during sex.
My reattempt at the Aleister Crowley quote. A few notable mistakes but considering i haven't practiced in months id say its a lot better than i expected. I clearly need to get back t practicing though as the writing looks a bit strained.

@freemo At least, when they're leaky, that gooey stuff will fall off, not fall on top of the board!
:P
Much like the food pyramid a well rounded rebuttal will include all the elements from this pyramid.
