I stopped using my MacBook Air after 9 years. I did a battery swap at some point, and I think I replaced the charger after the cable frayed. Best windows machine I ever ran.

I'm about to sit down for the next six hours. I'm happy to stand for a bit.

I really like when e-readers show footnotes as pop-ups.

Sandwiches are eaten like a typewriter.

I'm so confused. You pivot your elbows and smash the sandwich into your face like the letters hitting the page? You take lots of fast, noisy bites like the sound of typing? You nibble the top piece of bread from left to right, then the filling from left to right, then the bottom, going 'ding!' in between?

As someone who knows that they know very little about git, this thread makes me think I'm not alone.

Eurovision has very little to do with being in Europe. Even Australia is in Eurovision, and they are definitely not in Europe.

Those little squeeze packets are an Aussie invention, I believe!

The region was defined by constant conflict and instability before Britain and France were even a twinkle in a Celtic eye.

I'll tag onto this- not because I think my option is better, but because it's a complimentary thing that hits a lot of the same points in different situations.

My bike has given me joy, fitness, new activities, and new friends. When I didn't have a car it got me to work, gatherings, shops, etc. The enjoyment of riding got me out exploring nature around where I live. I've done multi-night bikepacking trips. I've met friends on rides. I've made new friends at work when we discover we both ride in sometimes. I chat to people at the bakery about their bikes.

All that, with a side effect of keeping me healthy and fit.
