There’s a Martin Hollis paper where he points out the ambiguity of the conservative maxim ‘Help yourself.’

Unexpectedly, there's an 'education focused' job in HPS at Sydney! At snr lecturer/assoc prof level, which means associate professor in US terms. You'll need to scan down below ruminant science etc to see it, though (perhaps a message there?):

If you decide my argument works, start a new thread and ask me about the analogous case of microscopic classical E&M. The empirical evidence for causation in that case sometimes points in a very different direction!

These angels are in March. If you don’t fancy cycling there in a headwind, you could see them in March, on the March March march.

Did you ever go up to the West Kennett long barrow? We used to get there quite often as kids, tagging along in the bus with adult education courses on Prehistoric Wiltshire.

You’re going to kick yourself. I think Armo may have had some connection to Jersey, but none that I know of to Wiltshire. Here’s another clue, from Google Maps.

They could well be. Judging by the trees in the foreground, newly in leaf, it is the right time of year for it.

Well done. I believe this is the answer that @michaelmorrisphil.bsky.social had in mind. And an additional clue for @davidedmonds100.bsky.social :)

Nice! Though the locals around here were changing the world on a massive scale, long before CB had a go at it.

Excellent, there is a fit of that kind, which I hadn’t noticed. I had thought of three, one of them admittedly obscure. Since indexicals have been mentioned, I’ll own up to the obscure one: it’s me. I was very familiar with this landscape as a lad.

Ah, good guess. I know why he fits the landscape, but not much else about him. Was he a philosopher?

Another vote for Hobbes? The wrong side of the M4, I think!

Okay, zoom in a bit. There are two yellowish fields. Your clue is in front of the one on the right, your answer roughly at the bottom of the one on the left.

Which philosopher(s) may be associated with this landscape (though not necessarily from the Spitfire perspective)?

Lovely idea! The writing’s on the wall for the usual rubbish.

Well this is very cool. I'd totally get an open source, wall mounted, raspberry pi powered inkjet. Especially as it can print by just cutting sheets off a roll of paper.

Kintsugi is the Japanese art of repairing broken ceramics, making them even more beautiful than before. Here’s a fine example in our favourite local Japanese restaurant.
