• Row of lights reflecting from "Micky's Map"

    From J. P. Gilliver@21:1/5 to All on Mon Jun 26 04:48:04 2023
    During the possible travel of Wagner to Moscow, there was a map often
    shown, obviously on a big screen in the newsroom. At least we _got_ a
    map (see my recent comments about the lack of such), but: there was a
    row of lights in the studio, that reflected off it, in a rather
    distracting manner. I don't know which thought was more depressing -
    that nobody knew how to turn them off, or (more depressing, I think)
    nobody knew that that was what was going out.

    (I'm not sure if this link will work, but https://twitter.com/G6JPG_/status/1672647100499206153 was my attempt to
    tweet about it, after a couple of hours [I'd tweeted a text-only comment initially]. The effect was a bit more irritating than I managed to
    capture in that picture.)

    I can prove anything with statistics - except the truth.

    I expect it was then Eileen's. as the spellchecker prefers.

    I don't understand! Who is Eileen? (Or what was it before the
    spellchecker corrected it?)
