Moving along well for now. Footer drains and backfill this week, followed by stacking the basement walls. Weather permitting, we may pour the basement this week. It was Florida hot this week. The guys would be on site at 0600 and...
I’ve been learning French for three years now. When I’m reading French comics, I always have an Ipad Mini with Google Translate going, so that I can just wave it in front of the page when I encounter a word I don’t know (and can’t...
Well, this is another long video but so, so much to get through! The bridge is made and I have brief chat about its design, the strings go on and I show you how I set-up my mandolins. And finally……..the New Model Mandolin gets to sing...
This lovely with her colourful body is an octopus. Like ninety-seven percent of the world's animals, she lacks a backbone. To support their bodies, these spineless animals — invertebrates — have skeletons made of protein fibres. This...
Thomas Jefferson wrote out the first draft of the Declaration of Independence, but he did not do so alone and without guidance. After all, he had been a member of the Continental Congress that summer, listening to the discussions about...

A quick look at how TypeScript conditional types behave with union types.
