Welcome to the fold, brother.

• country

Not so much of a shop but often on country lanes you see eggs for sale outside people's houses with a money pot for donations. Hens lay a lot of eggs and the owners need to get rid of them easily.

• Native currency also available.

I don't know about personality and soul but it does appear to make it more relatable.

Years ago my wife did an online course, I forget which one, it might have been open university (UK). She worked full-time with a fair salary and studied a few hours each week in the evening. She got a student discount card. The requirements seem (or did, perhaps it's changed now) quite low.

I wish I still had my Amiga. 500+ with a memory upgrade. I had a midi interface and a sound sampler. It was really ahead of it's time.

Indeed. Beat it, but at what cost.

My mum beat cancer. She lost parts of her body in the process and chemo changed her physically (her hair and nails never came back the same). It took three years of regular testing to finally be given the "you're officially cancer free" verdict. Three tense years.

All that said she's incredibly lucky not only to have beat it but not to have to live with additional medication due to it. I know somebody who lost a lot more and while is alive now needs a lifetime of medication to "put in" what the partial removed organs no longer produce.

I think I saw a video similar to this with a dad and son. Ended up rubbing the peanut jar on the paper or something like that because instructions weren't specific enough.

I have a Hewlett Packard PDA somewhere still along with some other old stuff I can't figure out what to do with.

This is great. My six year old son likes to play a game called "what's a sandwich" where we pretend the name sandwich doesn't exist and we have to explain how it's made then pretend the chef serves misunderstood dish. He'll love this picture.

That would have been good!

And at the end you get a list of statistics. Slept X days, X hours on the toilet, could have reached level 60 if only you went for job B. Spent X hours masterbating. Killed 2 people without you or anybody else even realising. Used X KG of plastic.

Ha yes my thinking too. I posted a reply further up about a movie idea, a bit like the matrix combined with total recall. Not much action though, just mind bending thoughts about what is reality once you've exited the simulation. Second guessing everything. More of a depressing firm perhaps.

All hail the mighty SUDO

I had a thought for a movie a while back. Perhaps it exists already. Sort of like the matrix and total recall combined. The movie starts with somebody on their deathbed after an accident or something (not really relevant what), family nearby. Emotional scene. Person slips away with eyes closed, then opens them but somewhere else. Zooms out to see they're in a machine like a CT scanner. They've just lived an experience in the simulation. They then have to spend time coming to grips with what reality is for them. Is it still part of the simulation? Does it matter? What about their loved ones, does any of that even matter now? Were the loved ones other people in the simulation or some sort of programme. Life was easier in the simulation not ever wondering if it was a simulation.

People do silly things. We have a department at work which pulls data from our ERP system to excel. They're pulling 10's of thousands of rows to return only a few bits of detail like product descriptions for a handful of items. I've offered to help them but they really don't want help. They seem to be happy with this monster.

There's another department which runs reports from our BI system, exports it to Excel, adds some calculations, then builds reports from that. They literally just need to ask the BI analyst to build them a report to their requirements.

I'm convinced people like screwing around in excel because it gives them something creative to do in an otherwise bland job.

I find it fascinating that banana plants are mostly all clones. This puts them in great danger of disease.

It's more confusing looking at it from a top view. When driving it's loads easier. I was expecting a mind numbing event first time I drove it but it wasn't that bad really.

Must be a messy event!
