That was the same for me. I didn’t realise I had high anxiety especially around people interaction. I just went with what people told me, that I’m introverted. It took me way too long to figure this out and I only did so because my anxiety was getting worse and about more things. Once I was on medication I realised holy shit, I needed this like 20 years ago!

I’m now able to join clubs, meet in large groups. But like you it’s now a choice. I generally do the social thing then leave or take some time out when batteries are low.

He sits down in his old local pub and catches up with old mates after finally completing his journey. His mate Dave points out that he completely missed Africa. Off he goes again.

Would this be a star which wasn’t big enough and fizzled out into a big planet?

Where’s the wasp table!?

We try to teach our kids not to lie but then lie to them about Santa. When they question sensible ideas like we don’t have a chimney some other made up lie comes out, prolonging the deception.

I do agree. Also in my company (manufacturing) IT seems to be seen as a knowledge resource. People ask questions which isn’t really IT, its more like “how do I do this part of my job which my predecessor didn’t explain or document in any shape or form”.

Thank you. I thought it was a NAS device. I was wondering what the hype was about.

Had similar many years ago. Was about 3am on a country road. Thought there was a cyclist. Why the fuck is there a cyclist in the middle of no where at this time of night. Slowed way down to a crawl as I as approached. It was a red reflector on a post outside a farm house.

My wife and son get extreme reactions to mosquito bites sometimes, perhaps it depends on the mosquito type or something like that because it’s.not every bite. It swells up, goes red and hard. A few days later turns into a blister (biggest ones I’ve ever seen) full of clear fluid. Only does that on arms, legs and feet. On the face it does the same but without the blistering.

Wow yes. Had forgotten about this. They gave alternates of who killed him. I don’t remember them all but for some reason I rember Apu and Maggie firing with angry faces. I need to watch that again.

Is there a reliable way to measure memory, one which has existed for a long time. Are modern people better or worse at remembering than centuries ago. Vocabulary is always increasing as is education. Did people remember more when there was less to remember?

The grass itself, not pollen? Do you know what in the grass causes it?

AI-caterpillar effect.

I wish somebody did shove that old cunt into that suit like somebody trying to stuff a sleeping bag into the carry bag it can’t in. the trauma would be unreal.

They provided some insight to why they think MS didn’t comment. Then agreed with you. I don’t think they were defending MS.

I don’t think I explained very well. It has two tanks. Storage water tank and a boiling tank which is under the storage tank. It draws water into the boiling tank which is 1 cup size. Once it’s hot it shoots the water out of the spout into the cup. Water from the storage tank fills the boiling tank.

Not as fancy as heat pumps but our kettle boils one cup at a time and the boiling chamber is under the water tank. Some of the wasted energy goes to warm up the water in the tank meaning less energy is needed for the next cup. It’s probably not that efficient but it’s better than nothing.

Cool! I have always loved them film. Never knew that fact. I haven’t done Warhammer since a kid but now you say it the gothic style ship interior does remind me of the chaos space marines.

I was thinking of Event Horizon. That’s pretty much the same as you’ve described.

I’ve driven in Jakarta. That was interesting.
