They're also responsible for one of the best emails I've ever received, when the college office sent out a plea for sightings of Professor Biscuit while conveniently forgetting to mention that he was a cat...(I won't comment on how often a similar email might have gone out about human Professors...)

It is. We all learn something and it's fun 😁

Aha, thank you!

You're still in the detail, I'm much more generalised than that.

However, I'm very happy to agree on one aspect and disagree on the other. We can meet in the middle.*

*that being somewhere along the C2 axis...

My friend, I was considering a bloomer sandwich to be cutting the *whole* bloomer in half horizontally, filling it with delicious contents, and then gorging on the result.

For what is a bloomer sandwich if not the whole bloomer? 😁

Still works, on gross structure.

That's my photo of it. Several passers-by were subjected to my explanation to my children as well 😂

Wikipedia link for the interested here:

A sandwich should commonly have (in its gross structure) a horizontal mirror plane and at least (again in the gross structure) a C2 symmetry axis perpendicular to the mirror plane.

Like the cheese in a hot sandwich.

Yep. I have a square box that perfectly fits the slices of a particular loaf. Problem avoided.

Aha, you are constraining a cut to a single plane in your bread slicing.
I should introduce you to my children. No such issues.

Aren't two separate slices from the same loaf philosophically the same as one slice cut in half? Two cuts of bread from a single source loaf in either case.

I dislike whatever change means that when I click in the search bar in Outlook it . . . doesn't actually focus the cursor in the search bar. So when I start typing nothing appears there and if I hit return because I'm not looking as I type, it opens whatever email is selected.

I am onlooking as hard as I've ever onlooked to an exchange on this topic between the two of you on this platform.
