Years of wakeboarding. I should’ve known, seeing all the knee braces on the older guys.

Moved into a newly renovated flat that hadn’t been cleaned. So there was a think layer of brick/plaster dust all over every surface. Then spent months fighting a four figure electricity bill because it turns out the builders had used my particular flat to charge their kit for months.

The trick is to only employ yourself.

Yeah I’m lucky I guess that my particular condition is deemed not serious enough to warrant carrying medication. Just gotta live with it, thoroughly unpleasant when it happens though!

I should probably carry this, my heart likes to randomly decide 220bpm is a good idea every now and then.

You missed one-eyed Egyptian.

As an avid VR gamer I just wanted to say that’s a great summary.

You can, if you want to, explore the world of teledildonics linked to VR experiences if you really want to go full Demolition Man.

I almost exclusively play VR FPS these days. I only have time for short <1hr play sessions so my RPG days are on hold until life allows it.

GPs are not science, they are people. People make mistakes. They also have varying levels of education, mental health issues, personal problems, general human stuff.

This is what has worked for me but only really applies if you’re a certain kind of couple. Also kinda depends on how long you’re going for and which country/countries you’re visiting… Personally I think it’s easy to over plan and we both hate working to strict itineraries. Strip you plan back to bare bones, book any internal travel and a few hotels along the way but don’t book all your accommodation, so you can be flexible. Talk to locals and other travellers to get tips on what’s on and general local knowledge. Do your research so you have a priority list of things you’d like to do/see. Pin all this on Google maps. Make it an adventure rather than a sanitised trawl through tourist spots.

Once had to explain to an old lady (in full-time employment in a job that requires use of a computer) that the mouse moves around on the desk surface. She was trying to move the cursor by putting the mouse on the screen.

Glad you enjoyed it! You must have very good coordination I think my high score is under 30!

I’ve called for an ambulance twice in the UK and both times they told me I should drive instead.

I’d heard so many good things about DE but the voice acting felt so jarring it really put me off. Words completely mispronounced (or maybe bad translation) in the intro and no sense of flow whatsoever.

Arguably anything man-made makes a view worse, but as far as man-made structures go they’re beautiful. And they give you a free wind gauge just by looking out the window. I’d rather see thousands of turbines on the horizon vs the glow of oil fields or plumes of smoke/steam.

I think they’re amazing. The chemistry of colored flame has fascinated me since I was young, and there’s nothing quite like being close to explosions. If I had more time and lived in the US I’d be a hobby pyrotechnician.

Have you tried the Lemon Tek for shrooms? In my limited experience it seems to help with the nausea.

Love me some 50/50 lemon juice and maple syrup. Never thought to try with balsamic/oil, thanks for the tip!

Yeah I turn AI off on my phone and prefer to shoot RAW. It’s still a legit feature tho.
