My (ISO) keyboards do, under the Esc key. I guess you're in North America (or Australia) and have an ANSI layout.

I replied before your edit, so now I look like I can't read!

I had some artificial plants that were so convincing that it was a struggle to get people to stop watering them.

You might have been joking, but this is the best answer. All plants need a decent amount of light, so they either need a grow light or rotating out. Or just get a plastic one instead and save the poor thing a life of misery.

How did Andy the wizard go for (Costa del) Sol and not Seoul? Sol and soul aren't even homophones!

My other half came up with the idea of putting a pair of aces in your pocket ("pocket rockets").

As much of a cop out it is giving everyone max points, I'd have struggled to judge that art competition.

No-one played their hotdog card, er costume.

Jack wins this episode for me, partly for the line "not including the ones you take off lampposts"

and for being more haunted

 

Let’s discuss tasks, contestants and the show in general.

Spoilers ahead.

I have a few home-made TUI apps, but nothing serious, so mostly it's just to muck around with a shell on my phone.

I don't see it in the default keymap and I don't know of anything that does similar so I guess it's needs a custom binding.

However, I've just noticed that if you paste something ending with a newline, Helix automatically pastes it as the next/previous line.

Hover text:

Our nucleic acid recovery techinques found a great deal of homo sapiens DNA incorporated into the fossils, particularly the ones containing high levels of resin, leading to the theory that these dinosaurs preyed on the once-dominant primates.

Transcript:

[Three squid-like aliens in a classroom; one alien stands in front of a board covered with minute text and a drawing of a T-Rex skeleton. Two aliens sit on stools watching the teacher alien. The teacher alien on the left is on a raised platform and points at the board with one tentacle.]
Left alien: Species such as triceratops and tyrannosaurus became more rare after the Cretaceous, but they survived to flourish in the late Cenozoic, 66 million years later.
Left alien: Many complete skeletons have been discovered from this era.

[Caption below the panel:]
It's going to be really funny when our museums get buried in sediment.

I knew that would be Squidge just from the title!

Once per word, or once per puzzle? Either way, that's surely hard mode.

Because this is the internet, I can't tell if the whoosh goes to your downvoters or you. I think you were joking, but that second sentence makes me wonder...

Hmm, interesting logic; my first reaction is that even if I program a robot to hit a golf ball I still wouldn't be any good on the links, but perhaps there's enough medical theory that she'd have to encode that she would be the top doc. I would have expected the original program to already have the knowledge and skills useful in OP's scenario, however.

I think all the engineers would have transferable skills, seeing as surgery is basically engineering/plumbing on living things.

I pay for Nebula - $30 a year which is about £22.50. That won't even cover two months of YouTube Premium (£12 pm), and there's not even the discounted yearly option in the UK.

And "if you're not paying you're the product" is wrong - YouTube/Google would still be datamining my viewing habits to sell to advertisers.
