As a non-physicist, reading it in reader mode, it was ad-free and relatively digestible. There was very little repetition which seems to be a common way of getting more bulk these days, and for the more technical, the link to the paper was right at the end.

That was over 30 years ago now, but I still usually resort to beers.

I think I covered this the last time you posted, but swearing isn’t a sign of maturity. It’s generally a sign of limited vocabulary.
You may need to reconsider this view. One example (there are others):

I had a dive instructor who recommended snorting a bit of seawater if your nose was blocked and you couldn’t equalise. I’m not sure that’s good advice given the general contents of the sea, but it certainly worked :)
