See what you mean: the Yamaha Revstar doesn’t have Yamaha on the headstock, but does have the tuning forks.

But other Yamahas don’t have the tuning forks but do say Yamaha. Eg. https://uk.yamaha.com/en/products/musical_instruments/guitars_basses/el_guitars/sg/index.html

I think there was a period, pre Revstar, when motorbikes had the tuning forks but none of the Yamaha guitars did.

Yamaha makes lots of other musical instruments too.

The thing that puzzles me is that the Yamaha logo, 3 tuning forks, makes sense for instruments that you tune. But I’ve only seen it on their motorbikes.

I encountered something like this at work. It wasn’t pass related, it was just a means of getting people to make text responses. Ampersands were replaced with some gibberish format, which annoyed everyone.

I got some kind of explanation from our tech people, which I understood to mean that ampersand was used to indicate that what followed was live code. Turning the ampersand into gibberish text was a safety measure to stop mischief.

I’ve noticed ampersand replacements in some news feeds too

Yes, that’s true. Keychain Access helps a lot.

My understanding is that your GF will be using Apple’s KeyChain, which is pretty good except that it’s hard to look inside and manually edit. It’s not just in Safari.

The upcoming Password app is just a nice user interface to KeyChain. So no change to the functionality as such, but I think it’ll make a big difference to how it’s used.

Similar, here.

Stopped at lights on drive into work next to a woman at the wheel, spooning down her breakfast from a bowl.

Someone, I told at work asked if you could get into trouble for this…maybe not the first time, but, yes, if you’re a cereal offender.

Yes, it would be clearer if the % was after each category in the legend.

My student accommodation had cockchafers. The university didn’t believe us until one of my friends presented them with one in a matchbox.

This all probably sounds nuts, but here are my oil systems:

I wash out and recycle glass jars, but peanut butter jars are difficult to clean and will end up getting fat into the water system. So I keep the peanut butter jars for oil.

I also keep a bendy, steel decorating pallet in the kitchen for scraping out fat from the grill tray and rack. You’re left with some fat that you can wipe off with kitchen paper, which you can also use to wipe the pallet knife. Then washing up liquid and a splash of boiling water from the kettle.

There can be quite a lot of oil in leftover food, like sauces, too. I use a silicone spatula to scoop it off before washing.

Thank you. I think the decades-old chemistry-class flashback distracted me from thoroughly absorbing the full post!
