As a 58 year old, JK Rowling is, by her own definition, very unlikely to be a woman any longer.

That chocolate milk comes from brown cows.

When I discovered the truth, I learned an important lesson about betrayal.

The Internet's Own Boy: The Story of Aaron Swartz https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Q6Fzbgs_Lg

Aaron created RSS, and was an early developer of Reddit. A visionary of accessible information and information technology.

Since his death, the direction the internet has gone has been in ways that he would very much be taking issue with.

You're not wrong, that is a thing. Source: me, a man with nipple piercings.

It's more obvious with solid colours and less obvious with a pattern.
The thicker or stiffer the fabric, the less the fabric will contour.

Seems like something you just have to own.

That would be a highly specific casual conversation!

If you're using Sync there's an option called "filter user". Post dot menu / filter / user.

There's nothing that indicates he was coerced.
My point is that people portray a father taking a 4 year old to his death. I'm just pointing out that he wasn't a child but an adult who chose to go on the trip.

If you want to be able to trim off the ends, I suggest a double fisherman's instead (aka the double overhand stopper) with both strands (hold them together while you tie and treat them as a single strand).

With either knot, after you trim, you can melt the ends of the elastic cord. It will "mushroom" a bit, which will also prevent the tips from creeping into the knot and coming loose.

A flat overhand bend in the elastic cord is what I recommend: https://www.animatedknots.com/flat-overhand-bend-knot

Justification:
Simple, not bulky, reasonably secure against shaking loose, and relatively easy to untie.

As suggested in another comment, a double figure eight could be used as well. It will be more bulky and a bit less likely to come loose.

I like to recommend the episode(s) on John McAfee when people first start Bastards. They're wild and not nearly as dark/heavy as some episodes can be.

Yes and no. They could be unplugged and replugged without a reboot. But also you'd have to manually configure the communication parameters of the port. So I hesitate to say "hot swap".

Not exactly what you asked for but Joplin files are markdown. The app itself (very cross platform) renders them in a nice format. https://joplinapp.org/

You are correct, I had not noticed they did away with that icon until you mentioned it now.

I can only speak to my own experience, but maybe?
Also, I lied about being American and participated in this thread anyways.

Luckily it's a piercing that heals well. And you can easily remove them if you decide they aren't working out.

Suleman Dawood was the youngest passenger on board. He was 19 and therefore an adult capable of making his own decisions.
