Sort of deploying the Royal Navy to sink every small boat they can find in the channel, I’m struggling to see how he would stop the boats ™ in weeks.

First seven characters are comments, for sorting the cards automatically if you drop them on the floor, obviously. Strictly 80 characters per line.

For Neil Peart I’d be happy to overlook any ethical considerations.

However, wiping eyes with fresh chillies is clearly preferable to either.

Too many. And people of Clacton got what they deserved as they voted him in.

Yorkshire Dales would be my destination

Slaps are a tad harsh, don’t you think. Few firm tuts should be sufficient.

‘Operation Early Dawn’ - who comes up with the names? I’m cringing so hard my cheeks hurt!

he had entered the city centre to collect a takeaway

That’s one expensive takeway. I hope it was tasty.

Makes me wonder, is either of them interested in cyber security?

The coming weekend will tell us whether the edge is gone.

Two long walks with the dogs & no alcohol. And probably as a consequence, I’ve slept really well. In my age these are more than little wins.

I too left reddit with the API mess and have not gone back. No regrets. Welcome to Lemmy and the wider fediverse. I think you’ll like it here.

Is there a bigger societal waste day-in-day-out than people sitting in traffic jams? Any measure that reduces car journeys taken is a good measure in my books.

You love what you love. If others don’t, that’s cool. I quite like some songs by Nickelback, but they aren’t quite my favourite. I find myself listening to Creed from time to time and I think they are great.

As for AB, the best band ever as far as I’m concerned. There is not a single AB album I haven’t played again and again. I’ve seen them live ten times or so, and will go see them every time I get the opportunity. And Myles could sing the phonebook and I’d still love it.

Remember when email was useful? I remember when it was magical!

Time for a story from the ancient times. I had this idea and asked my professor for advice. He said he knew a person on the other side of the world who would know all about it. “This is his ‘email’ address.”

I had never heard about ‘email’ so I needed to learn what it was and how to send one. I wrote my message and off it went. The very next morning I had a reply. One of the best experts on a topic I was keen about had shared their thoughts from the other side of the world, just like that.

In that time, a long time ago as you’ll appreciate, that interaction was magical.

In an instant I understood the power of the Usenet. A while later and with a couple of additional protocols they started calling that the Internet.

Toot-toot, moog got the boot!

I root for the moog to get the boot.
