No it’s common for papers to have prewritten obituaries for people they know will die soon, or even just important people in general so they can get them published quickly. She would have just had place holders for the date and his age that the editor filled in before publication. She probably didn’t expect that Watson would outlive her.

11·3 months agoIn New South Wales Australia, back in the commercial whaling days, a pod of Orca used to help the whalers round up the big whale species the whalers were after so they could be easily harpooned, once they had the whale back to land and cut up they would gift the tongue to the Orcas as payment.
My wife and I had a baby last week via elective caesarian in the Australian public system. It was a fantastic experience. The doctors and surgeons were amazing. The midwives were amazing and super helpful. We were there for three nights and nothing was ever a problem when we needed something. The only charge was the cost of a new birth control implant (the actual implantation was free).
They have also been doing follow up home visits to check how my wife and our baby are going since she was discharged, all still free.

C# because I used to work for a company building asp.net web apps and now I know it too well that it’s just easier.
I also really like kotlin and that’s what most of my professional development is in now, but I find the kotlin coroutine library no match for dotnet’s Task API, so I’m not sure I could switch for my private projects.

1·1 year agoI had no idea this had a name! When I was a small child we lived by the coast and my dad had a small yacht, one day I remember the keel lodged on a sandbar and he used the anchor to pull it free. Unfortunately we moved inland when I was 5 and dad sold the yacht.
Wait so you’re telling me the “jelly” in a PB&J is grape and not as I have assumed for all my life strawberry or raspberry?
