I have it turned off. Yeah sometimes I mistype and have to go back and correct a word, but dammit my mistakes are at least my own

Yeah I like to whistle a merry tune sometimes when I walk past a person or two, because hopefully it encourages those two to too

Same, 2 coffees before 10am and then if I really neee one, a final coffee before midday. Anything beyond that time, forget sleeping

I've been watching BBC Archive footage from the 80s recently:

Everyone has the exact same fears as they do now: Russian interference, outcompeted by China, being a US lapdog, the price of housing, education standards, rich/poor divide.

All the exact same talking points we have today. We havent changed that much in 50 years just different gadgets.

(Though the absolute rich/ absolute poor divide is a lot bigger

I like the message of this, whilst feeling that it puts a lot of pressure on the end users to be informed of their actions to better society, when it really should be up to our elected leaders to enact/educate on these topics. It also minimizes the impact of large corps who have far more moving power than the vast lot of us combined.

Not to say that grassroots community action cannot bubble up to move a needle.

I tend to follow your ethos, but not because I think it will make a change in soceity, but more to help myself feel better. If there is a God, they might see that I at least tried a little in this life to minimize my impacty in it

Huh - that's actually good to hear. I thought they had to do the same creepy stuff they do to coffee to decaffeinate it, rather than just not adding it at all.

In that case I guess I've just got to train my brain to not immediately expect the caffeine high when drinking it

I tried decaf Coke Zero and I have to admit it makes me miserable. Can't work out if it's my head expecting the caffein high and not recieving it, or if it's something in the chemicals itself that acts as a depressant

Did it help you math better, or were the doodles largely untethered to reality

this is one of a number of companies that wants to invest in the UK

for what, out of the sheer goodness of their hearts? Come on man, fiduciary judiciary compels them to rip off the consumer in the long run, and they will face no physical backlash because their offices are not in the UK

I feel like I didn't learn the secret from the article, only that we're tracking them better

 

I have three of these I've collected over the last 3 years, and none of them work anymore.

Is this the new USB-C future we were promised? With a single-point of failure for everything as the number of ports on laptop decreases year-on-year?

 
 

Spotted this guy after going through an old box of CDs.

Crazy that this was only 6 years ago

I sleep with the windows open and haven't heard a buzz or woken up with bites at all.

Am I the only one noticing this?

Anyone find it weird that we simply don't know where some significant historically documented battles took place.

Like Boudicea's final stand is somewhere near the London part of Watling street (a street that extends from Dover to Wroxeter via St Albans), with 80 000 losses, and we've just... never found the bones.

Same with the Battle of Stamford Bridge, where we know 8000 people died (including Harald Hardrada) somewhere in the Derwent River, but no bridge or bones found.

We know these events happened from written record, but the physicality of it just isn't present.

I don't know what I'm really trying to say other than that I feel there's a weird disconnect to a past that existed.
