The older I get, the better it gets. I love being "old" for young people. Happy to be excluded from the prevailing culture, slang/lingo, fashion, trends, etc. Being old is a much much more comfortable place to be for me.

Both their faces....

That's really cool. I might take this idea and make a similar thing out of Hama beads for my kid's bedroom wall.

I've only got failed stories to report I'm afraid.

Got a few colleagues at work who I get on well with. We were talking about Catan and they were keen to do a board game night. I called them over to mine for a Saturday evening and asked them for a date that works on everyone's calendar.. Got close to the date and I messaged them on Friday to say I'm "hyped about tomorrow's Catan night". They ended up saying I didn't remind them early enough and now it's difficult for them to come. None showed up. I've invited them again and get a "we'll have a look at our calendars" reply.

There's another guy at work who has a pair of twins. We talk about our kids a lot and I invited them over on a Saturday for a lunch and the kids could all play. Similar cancellation close to the date.

Now there's another guy at work who is junior to me, but just about to be promoted to be a peer and I'm helping him with getting this promotion slot. He's a good guy. I'll try inviting him and his Mrs at some point. Maybe he will show up.

They're all stories about work colleagues. Having a child with additional needs makes it too difficult to go out anywhere else to meet anyone.

Darknet Diaries is such a great podcast.

In the UK, your bank will cover losses to card fraud for quite a large amount. Your banking app can send instant notifications for every card transaction too.

It would work just as well if the icons were flipped. Would that come across better?

I can see the implicit sexism of implying the girl is the less informed. But I've also got a problem with gate keeping in the community. Someone might say they are focusing on privacy and use incognito chrome, but they're ideologically still on your "team"....they're just a bit behind in their journey and need to find out more about working their way up to making the real meaningful changes. Help em out.

Why is this something widespread? I did chemistry up till A-levels and no one ever asked me to memorise the periodic table and no one gave a shit about committing it to memory. WTF is going on.

I'm using Calibre web to organise books, convert format and download metadata; and then use Kavita to read my books/comics. Works great.
