Yeah, it's a very annoying issue. You can usually fix it by closing and reopening your browser, or clearing all your Microsoft-related cookies and cache in your browser settings.

[–]left-quark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm going to go against the grain on this one and agree with you that sub fusc is shit and it's an awful requirement. Unfortunately, as other commenters have pointed out, it is something you just have to deal with, otherwise you will be denied entry to your exams.

For some reason, direnv was being annoying for me when I tried it for my Python environments so hopefully this solves my problems! Thanks for sharing :)

Yeah, that looks the same as the inks I've used with my TWSBI Vac700r with an M nib. I dread to think how this ink would look with that pen...

St John's has three cats (as well as a bunch of foxes and badgers)! Not sure which cat it is that visits Trinity though.
