Any (legitimate) criticism of Blue Origin aside, it's good to see an all woman crew launched on a rocket!

Geographical distribution o Scots wirds an linguistic features thro the medium o cheese

Some features hae clear local variation - lik 5 coonties
Some features are general, but hae gaps in contemporary uisage- lik Swiss cheese
But maist are universal - lik Scottish cheddar

@techconnectify.bsky.social hey, good to see you're on here. I filmed this for you after recalling your video on flickering candle bulbs and your explaining this phenomenon. I thought you'd like to see the effect 'in the wild'

If it was common knowledge within the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland that there are three distinct legal systems with clearly defined jurisdictions, so much of my working life would be easier.
