But... no-one mentioned surprise except you, did they? Something being uncommon doesn't connote being surprising, at least not always.

It's uncommon for me to have takeaway pizza, but I don't think anyone I know would be surprised when I do.

Pretty sure the jiao (角) (1/10th of a yuan) is still in use?

AIUI plenty of tags don't need to be closed. `<input>`, `<hr>`, `<img>` are the first three off the top of my head. Probably in XHTML you would've self-closed them.

This warning is only ever printed if running in Cygwin, not Linux or macOS or elsewhere. Cygwin is notoriously slow.

    # This is slow on Cygwin, so give Cygwin users a warning
    if($^O eq "cygwin" or $^O eq "msys") {
    ::warning("Finding the maximal command line length. ".
          "This may take up to 1 minute.")
    }

Also note that it only figures this out first time, after which it’s cached on disk.

Fair. I was solo :) got plenty of hiking done too and can’t wait to go back

Or do as I did and just use the buses. Highly reliable IME.

DuckDuckGo.

Disappointed it isn’t to do with Robert Rankin. Oh well.

I’d be surprised, given how outspoken Sawe is about doping. He invited the AIU to test him before Berlin and Adidas also paid.

> Determined to prove he is competing clean, Adidas provided $50,000 (£36,900) to the Athletics Integrity Unit, the sport's anti-doping body, to frequently test Sawe over a 12-month period.

> That began with a reported 25 out-of-competition tests in the lead-up to Berlin in September, continuing at a similar rate as he prepared for London.

> Sawe said on Monday: "It's very important to me because it gets out the doubt in my career of athletics and yesterday's performance.

The geometric mean of two numbers is the square root of their product. Square root of 105 (35*3) is ~10.25.
