Like in maths, there can be several solutions to a single conundrum.

Because in Lewis Carroll’s time writing desks and ravens both had gotten feathers on them.

True, but not by Carroll. It‘s from a movie.

What "materials"? Brides?

What did your nieces think about the "Boots", when you read "The Hunting of the Snark" to them?

«This also seems a fitting occasion to notice the other hard words in that poem. Humpty-Dumpty’s theory, of two meanings packed into one word like a portmanteau, seems to me the right explanation for all. For instance, take the two words “fuming” and “furious.” Make up your mind that you will say both words, but leave it unsettled which you will say first. Now open your mouth and speak. If your thoughts incline ever so little towards “fuming,” you will say “fuming-furious;” if they turn, by even a hair’s breadth, towards “furious,” you will say “furious-fuming;” but if you have the rarest of gifts, a perfectly balanced mind, you will say “frumious.” Supposing that, when Pistol uttered the well-known words — “Under which king, Bezonian? Speak or die!” Justice Shallow had felt certain that it was either William or Richard, but had not been able to settle which, so that he could not possibly say either name before the other, can it be doubted that, rather than die, he would have gasped out “Rilchiam!”» Source: Lewis Carroll's "The Hunting of the Snark", https://snrk.de/snarkhunt/#portmanteau

Perhaps it's worse: Rubio is aware of implications, but doesn't care.

None of the characters in Carroll's Alice books are as evil as the members of the Trump regime.

Hittills har jag inte hittat något ”problematiskt” innehåll i Carrolls Alice-böcker. Den säkraste är ”The Hunting of the Snark”. Där förekommer inga minderåriga.

I think that I can virtualize the SNARK! card game within this year, possibly using the playingcards.io virtual tabletop.

Sample (https://drive.proton.me/urls/25YX8F1H60#gtFgkmFuOMFS) for testing tools (like AutoSplitter) which extract photos from a collection of photos. (In this case, the extraction tool should not rotate the playing card images, as they already are aligned correctly.)

2nd sample (https://drive.proton.me/urls/Y5M33TQ5E0#v3eIDDGUUbmU) with images which need to be slightly rotated for correct alignment. But I am not happy with the results provided by AutoSplitter.
