And now I’m reading a computer’s version of a story describing how a computer wrote a story that should have been discarded.

What a day that was!

To be honest… that doesn’t sound like a heavy lift at all.

Doctor Who from Eccleston on. We missed much of it (including all of the Capaldi and Whitaker years) so it’s still new to us, and we’re catching up just in time for the new guy. I used to roll my eyes at folks who insisted Who was worth watching, but I was clearly wrong: It’s such a fun (and sometimes devastating) show. Loving it.

Most folks never bother to delete their accounts, and it’s now one of the older social networks. It was also popular at one time among GenX, who got their Boomer parents to sign up so they could keep contact with their grandkids remotely.

There are far fewer Boomers on TikTok, and many GenX’rs have simply given up on trying to remain in contact with anyone they actually know.

Kindness isn’t patronizing. Just offer to help because you care for Stevie and your neighbor. No need to make it a debt (or worse, make her “work it off”), which would redefine your relationship as employer/employee. Just friends doing what friends do.

Nice. Unless something’s changed recently, you shouldn’t be disappointed. Enjoy!

I use my original almost every day (actually, not quite the original; I lost my first one after 15 years in a 2013 car accident, and replaced it with the same 1998 model from an eBay sale. My wife has a newer Wave model and loves it. To be honest, though, I haven’t kept up with the latest versions, but I’ve never met anyone who regretted buying one.

I believe my 1998 Kelty backpack, Leatherman PST II, 1990 Volvo 240 Wagon and Mohawk Royalex canoe will outlast us all.

Most liquors, but gin and tequila in particular.

en again it can take me half a movie to realise there are two men with dark hair, a beard and glasses

I’m not face blind, but this is the reason I never watched another Mission Impossible movie after the first one: Every single male in that movie looked identical to me, and I couldn’t follow any of the plot line(s?), as I never knew who was doing what to whom. I can only imagine how annoying it must be when that’s the norm.
