AbeBooks does have independent sellers, but for anyone who was unaware, it was acquired by Amazon in 2008.


> it was acquired by Amazon in 2008

I did not know that. Thank you for sharing. What are other (non-Amazon) options?


This is a few days old now so doesn't include the latest Norwegian cases, but that seemed to be the thinking (though the article feels a bit of a mix between certain and equivocal at different points).

The US is teeming with UK or UK-inspired place names for obvious reasons. Here's the Georgia section on the list of US places with an English name:

It's a pretty lengthy page and is unlikely to be exhaustive. It can be a bit of a minefield though. For example, that page lists Boston Georgia, but according to the top of this page:

Boston, Georgia is named after a person, not the location in England.


WFM on firefox 85.0.1 on ubuntu 18.04. No problems looking up a user and getting the 3D model. (well, it's slow because it's in virtualbox on an ancient Macbook Pro because my new one died and is away for service but's that's tangential... unless the slowness is a factor in it working -- I've seen stranger!)


I don't think anyone would support that, but that's not what happens -- you can see the breakdown of gross/net salary & taxes on every payslip you receive from your employer, as well as on your annual P60 https://www.gov.uk/paye-forms-p45-p60-p11d/p60


It sounds like Norwegians were involved in building this, and they have precedent for this look. "hardanger bridge roundabouts" is a search term which will get you some pretty images for roundabouts like this. Admittedly they're not under the ocean, but they are underground at each end of the world's longest tunnel to tunnel suspension bridge. Underground funkily-lit roundabouts are pretty amazing!


I remember using Interix back in the late 90s to port our home-grown source control system that we used on various UNIX flavours over to NT. The source control system was basically a bunch of shell scripts which wrapped either SCCS or RCS depending on which was available on the system in question. Porting them to Interix on NT worked pretty well, though there were some wrinkles with file permissions.

Interesting. I never use Y or D, I use yy and dd which both operate on the entire line. I like that they're lower case and 'fit' in my mind with their other 2 character counterparts, yw, dw etc. (and I use d$ for delete to end of line).
