The Berlin Wall, putting beach towels on recliners at the crack of dawn, sauerkraut, lederhosen, frankfurters, doner kebabs, hamburgers, donuts, cheese, iron gates, macerated cherries, aardvarks, the car, the bicycle, diesel, the moon, beer, lager, tamagotchi, the letter ‘a’, the number 25, serrated saw blades, cantilever bridges, ice cream, hand lotion, galoshes, the ipod, bilateral symmetry, the dawn, goths, the parachute, that sizzling noise meat makes when you fry it, hats, gloves, left socks, altitudes over 1,773 feet, postmodernism, and geese.

V0 rockets

I have but it, I dunno, it upsets the handling somehow.

I drive one of these. MPG isn’t great, if I’m being honest.

I hope the three girls organise their own thanksgiving dinner and invite their mom.

If I’ve learned anything from the interweb it’s that having a big, public hissy-fit about something definitely makes everyone stop talking about it.

And that was when the SAS started recruiting ‘grenade returner’ jugglers.

The best alternative is to take off and nuke the site from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.

Just head down to the basement, find the circuit breakers for your building and flip them all to off for 10 seconds. That usually gets you out of Vi.

I can look at any car’s wheels and tell you if it’s run me over or not.

SUV before it evolves.

Vi/Vim - had it on every computer I’ve owned or used since about 1991.

Friendship is based on shared experiences.

So you need to find some experiences to share with people. Whether that’s evening pottery classes, joining (or starting) a man’s shed, joining a book club, joining a local amateur sport team, getting into a virtual TTRPG, joining a bridge club, or a chess club, or litter picking group, or bird-watching group… or something entirely different it’ll work as long as you have repeated exposure to the same group of people. Unless you pick a group who are all assholes. Or if you’re an asshole.

That hurts the side of my thumb but I’ll give it a go!

I heard something like this the other day. Is it the same thumb as the palm? 'Cos I can’t press my right hand thumb to the palm of my right hand very hard.

I love water so much I always add a splash to my whisky!

Yeah, that’s totally normal.

No matter how much you think of a job as just a commercial transaction between you and your employer it’s hard not to have a visceral, emotional reaction to being told ‘we don’t need you’.

I don’t know your financial situation, obviously, but my advice would be to try and take a bit of time out to clear your head of the old job and the layoff before you really get stuck in to finding your next gig. If you can afford to step back for a bit and clear the understandable negativity you’re currently experiencing then you’ll be far better set up for job hunting than if you just try and push through while you’re still in that negative mental space.

“Allow me to retort!”

Tomb Raider on OG PlayStation.

I remember walking around after pretty much a solid day of playing and just seeing buildings in terms of which ones Lara / I could climb.

My opinion is that their union seems to be one of the very few left with any teeth at all.

More industries should have unions which can wield the power they do.
