These are good reasons for why these sorts of systems need strong government oversight of real consumer privacy laws.

I survived as a farmer by "practicing good social distancing." ... and as a mail carrier. Wonder if that says anything about me. They didn't have an option to play as a resident of Gunnison, Colorado, enforcing a cordon sanitaire around the town. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cordon_sanitaire#Historical_examples

I hope the next dwarf planet will be nicknamed "Groovy".

Another trick with records - a "three-sided" record, like the one from Monty Python. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Monty_Python_Matching_Tie_and_Handkerchief .

My introduction to nuclear physics - elementary school, no less - was through Disney's "Our Friend the Atom" book. https://www.brainpickings.org/2013/02/18/our-friend-the-atom-disney/ . A decade later I went back to visit, stopped by to talk with the librarian (I volunteered there in 6th grade), and found that no one else had signed out the book during that decade.

There's also Lawrence Welk. Not only did his TV show have what I would consider to be music videos, but (and I didn't know this until I looked at his Wikipedia page just now), "Welk led his orchestra in many motion picture "Soundies," considered to be the early pioneers of music videos" - and Soundies were mentioned in the article.

I am impressed. I thought my birth state of FL had some odd names (https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/florida/funny-names-fl/ ) but KY beats FL hollow.

I felt the article needed some images. Here are some links: https://showme.co.za/paarl/tourism/paarl-mountain-nature-reserve/ , https://www.whentobewhere.com/travel-listing/paarl-rock , and https://www.capetownmagazine.com/must-see-and-do/abseiling-tours-at-paarl-rock/140_52_56062 .

I got a flashback to high school English class, when we learned about the colonial/post-colonial interpretations for Shakespeare's "The Tempest".

When I moved to Sweden, it felt like I went from being quieter than average to being more talkative than average. I can report that there is small talk here. I also learned a joke. A Swede and a Finn are drinking. They pour out a shot. The Swede says "skål", the Finn scowls. They do the shot and pour a second. Again, "skål" and a scowl. Third shot. The Swede says "skål" and the Finn growls "are we talking, or drinking?"
