Felix will ponder that that's probably why Benedict Cumberbatch was so annoyed.

And, honestly, a biplane would draw just as many questions from Talen; suitable edit has been made. (Talen's not just asking questions, mind you. He's taking notes.)

Felix is more than willing to foster learning. He'll answer whatever questions Talen has about the biplanes and aviation in general. He'll even draw up schematics, explain the laws of aerodynamics, and discuss fuel types if he's willing.

Going to be on holiday for a couple of weeks. I'm not going to vanish entirely, but I will have an actual excuse for posting being slow for a while (instead of it being slow for no particular reason)

I was in an oddball mood.
Have fun on your trip.

Vacations? People do that? Well, try not to get trapped on any alternate dimensions by accident. That can come across as being careless.

You have to be careful about borders and quarantine requirements and so forth, but yes, vacations are once again possible.
Will try to avoid carelessness regarding alternate dimensions. Which is to say, I have no intention of tripping over one by accident.

Since the food is on the table, I'm guessing the dog was somehow locked out of the house. Does it come across as angry or eager? And would it be safe to guess that the cows include a calf or two, suddenly given much greater access to milk than they'd be otherwise used to?

Has the site been acting strangely for anyone else? I've been trying to login for about a week and it just refused to do the thing

Yeah it'd been happening for a lot of us. I think it's been fixed now.

...that's one advantage to being on holiday, I guess. I don't log in for a few days and avoid the entire Can't Log In issue completely.

And back from holiday! It was very pleasant and relaxing.
Back to the normal schedule of slow and intermittent posting, I guess.

So is the time discrepancy just Piper being Piper or is there something more to it?
