I am 45 years old and apparently still uncertain about the correct use of a semicolon if Outlook is to be believed.

Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing? 2? Questions I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up. Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

I think you have to do it that way for open world games otherwise if side quest NPCs got killed waiting for you to show up the game would end pretty quickly.

Replaying Oblivion and I love the lack of urgency in Elder Scrolls games. Invasion of Daedra? Yeah I'll get right on that. Please hold while I fuck about wasting weeks of game time trying to join the University.

Followed by its equally scary sequel "We didn't test restore".

Good morning to you too 😂

Don't make changes to production on a Friday!!! In a previous job we used to call it "Feet up Friday". Touch nothing unless you want the on call person to hate you.

If you're going to tease us with a recipe like that at least give us some clue what the ratios are. The spice Melange is quite pungent and should be used sparingly so as not to overpower the others.

It's not restricted to cats. German Shepherds do the same. It's illegal to move even when they've been asleep on you for so long you can no longer feel your legs.

Slumming it with pasta stars in my minestrone today as the supermarket couldn't provide dinosaur pasta ☹️

Circular flowchart. “Too anxious to start on anything” leads into “stressed about not getting anything done,” then back to “too anxious to start on anything”—creating an endless loop.

This x 100000 = mood

So tired of seeing policies that fuck over the most vulnerable members of society while doing absolutely nothing to address the rampant inequality that is the cause of so many issues.

Party conference season is always a bit silly but the policies coming out of almost all the main political parties at the moment makes me think we should just cut the island adrift then tow it somewhere and sink it.

I'd best get cracking

Saw this chilled out little dude on my way to the shop.

I'd buy it

It can be. It's mostly about communicating what you want. Sometimes I find it a turn on when they're a bit of a brute, other times something a little more tender is nice.

I'll take hard and fast or slow and gentle. It depends on the guy and the mood. Absolutely nothing wrong with knowing what you like and what works for you 😊

Christmas is already well underway in Surrey, I spotted mince pies in August.

I might have overdone it this week. Two soups and one stew already. The freezer is filling up nicely.

I think I would if I was invested in the game theme or plot summary. I've certainly played plenty of convention games with new to me GMs and most were great.

Well that was a nice surprise! Weekend reading sorted.

It's amusing that the app still sends me notifications when someone I follow posts something but I can't see their post (or anything).

My stew in the slow cooker smells great. The fact it has half a bottle of red wine in it might have something to do with it.

The tragedy of the UK is that we grew up believing that our government would dispatch James Bond with his “license to kill” to dispatch megalomaniac media tycoons, water barons and mad billionaire rocket builders.

The reality is Bond would probably turn up to award them their MBE.

I need one

Iron Maiden 🤘

Conversations I never knew I needed to have until I was adopted by a German Shepherd... "Why are you licking my foot?"

My dog has crashed. How do I reset him?

I feel we've reached peak enshittification as far as AI is concerned.

Facebook posts now have a Meta AI explanation button.

Outlook/Hotmail "Would you like copilot inspired theme for your mail?" absolutely fucking not.

The urge to run screaming into the forest and live with the crows is strong.
