I went to Zeeland once, Vlissingem, it's a nice place, but I have never been north of there, never seen Frisia, Denmark, never been to Heligoland, Norway, or Sweden. Perhaps it is all just too much like England to really motivate me, you know, you want to see something different when you travel.
I would have liked to have tried talking to a Frislander too, I hear English and Fris is very close.

I have a Frisian friend, but when he starts talking Frisian I can't make heads or tails of it. Nevertheless Friesland can be attractive if you like sailing and skating, and they have some nice historic cities like Leeuwarden. Recently I also viewed "Redbad" the series on tv which is about the war between the Frisians and the Franks: Redbad, King of the Frisians - Wikipedia[^]
Can not recommend the series though, although the photography is first class, the story is weak and lacking direction and the low rating on IMDB says enough: Redbad (2018) - IMDb[^]

I would have thought it half Dutch half English and therefore fairly easy for someone like you, but I guess not.

Well I for one think it is a fantastic idea. Being too large and inflexible to lean down and twist my head far enough so that I can read the bloody fine print or hieroglyphic underneath the button is just not possible for me.
I have to stand, turn around and kneel to locate the buttons, retain the configuration, sit down and set the buttons by feel and memory. As a consequence I only ever use the big round button for seat up/down.
So you skinny little bugger leave the airline alone so they can give better service to us fat slobs who fly.

inheritance is fine, but oddly always slow when in test state.

make sure you get your inheritance defined early, else it can be very costly to try to define later.

Basically, then, you're saying that if you're good with this inheritance concept you Go To The Head of the Class?

Certainly not a programming questions and probably KSS:
My eggplant (two varieties, one oriental, one white) are have a problem. About 1/3 of the seedlings have their Cotyledon die before they even get partially out of the seed. The little stump, left behind, has nothing at or above an initial leaf node so it's alive but useless.
Online searches turned up various plant diseases and even how to remove seed shells stuck on the leaves (from living leaves). Very frustrating.
Anyone know a cause? Maybe it's a genetic problem? I'll be planting a second round of seeds, there being enough time, yet, before planting - but if any of you have this arcane knowledge, it would be nice to know what I'm up against.
Habanero, Thai, and Jalapeno peppers, sprouted in identical environments, not so afflicted. Jalapeno from home grown ripened peppers. Sprouting environment: heating mat and moist covered vermiculite. Growing lamps when they meet the surface - where they're soon transplanted to fine new soil.

I assumed that a Cotyledon was a dinosaur, probably with big teeth ... are your eggplants carnivorous?
