The Aggressive Hippy

I believe my modesty is my only flaw.
Not really aggressive, or a hippy. He/him.

I know that feeling, I could forget within half an hour if I'd taken mine. Triggers the same 'did I lock the front door?' reflex!
My wife solved it by buying me a pill box, though I was tempted to get a vintage poisoner's ring for style points...

Ah, fair enough!
My son lives in the States but uses Amazon UK for gifts, but I imagine that may mean jumping through hoops for you to open a foreign account.
For your nephew - experience day for something he's into? Any bands he likes have a Patreon you could subscribe him to?

I'm convinced any time saving or productivity gains that are supposed to be made by using ChatGPT are lost by the sheer amount of time that the people who use it spend constantly wanging on smugly about how they use the overblown gobby spellchecker, instead of, well, their brains.

There's something magical about Cyberpunk (and Witcher 3). Rare games that can create such an atmosphere and are more than the sum of their parts.

I still blame Clippy.
If we hadn't tolerated it we wouldn't be where we are today.

I'm juuuust old enough to have played the original Space Invaders in an arcade.
Nowadays I'd rather chill with a game rather than watch a movie, game writing can be incredible. The number of times I've had to put my Steam Deck down for a little think cos the story has hit so hard emotionally.

I've just finished God of War. I can see why loads like it but it wasn't for me, too linear fetch-questy, too many annoyances like the combat and timing required for some puzzles and didn't engage with Kratos.
Now sinking into Yakuza 5, playing through the series chasing the feeling Zero gave me.

Agreed! It's a conversation where you can't answer back, just have to be talked at. At least you can skim text, you can't even speed it up and find some shred of amusement in them sounding like Mickey Mouse.
I reply, finger over the mic so they have to strain to hear. Till I say something rude.

I was very, very young at the time (honest!) but I remember playing at the Hop Pole while my parents had a drink and them explaining the canal was dry because someone had pulled the plug.
Even at that age I didn't believe it!

Blew me away, one of the best gigs I've ever been to. The songs, the performances, the interaction and the whole crowd so into it... just brilliant.

Massive congratulations! It's a truly stunning album, blown away by the performances.
We're still discussing the timeline over the trilogy though 🤣 Personally I'm stuck on 'At the Window' and Interlude three 😆
We can't wait to discover the new stage show on Friday!

I swapped to a left handed mouse (seriously, it's shaped differently) recently during an arthritis flare up, which was annoying as I had to let it go to use a pen.
But on the plus side it stopped micromanaging colleagues taking my mouse to 'show' me things as it freaked them out.

Being left handed I was scolded by my 'posh' grandmother for holding my cutlery wrong because "it will be embarrassing in Restaurants".
Gran. As an adult I've managed to embarrass myself in Restaurants in many interesting and varied ways, but how I hold my knife and fork has never been one of them.

I know the XJS faced a lot of negative criticism at the time because it was so different than what went before (hmmm, sounds familiar...) but I think it's a great design, even now.
The limitations of 'real' bumpers, rather than the huge pressings of today give cars so much character too.
