I at nearly 50 years old still own my undefeated 48’er. It’s on a yellow bootlace in a box in the loft at my dad’s house.

Finally! Someone else with this. Reading Crime and Punishment gives me this feeling, I get zaps and it kinda hurts my brain to read. Only happened with that novel and some Shakespeare.

In this vein, junkie Kindle Unlimited sci fi hits that spot for me too. Currently reading a huge series with easily digestible books by Ryk Brown The Frontiers Saga. Also anyone remember the old Sten books? There’s a modern rip off that’s v

Yep and whoever controls that, controls the moon. It’s prime real estate.

Wow this paper was fascinating. Multiple Neanderthal groups in Europe geographically fairly close, on the brink of extinction, yet no interbreeding for 50,000 years. The stories that pop into my mind!

I too am terrible at names and faces which is unfortunate for my job. The only thing that works for me is using the name an absurd amount of times early on. Then telling myself a silly story about that person in my head afterwards again usi

We don’t say grandmum btw! But then you don’t say grandmom either and it’s just occurred to me that you were probably joking. Sigh.

How does that work?

The whole concept of calling people NPC’s is weird as fuck. You aren’t a superior being, Derek.

And doesn’t it feel great? Unironically one of the proudest moments of my life was when I fixed the the belt on our dryer. A $10 rubber belt and YouTube and voila!

Ever? Aging might. My dad was like you. Found out recently he has a girlfriend stuck in Nigeria that he was on his way to the bank to help.

Have you looked into short throw projectors? Some of those are very noob friendly and positioning is no longer an issue. Still an enthusiasts device though really and your point stands I just found those short throw devices quite interestin

We don’t do it efficiently or effectively would be better than saying we cannot do it. It’s only useful for going downhill quickly which we’ve all subconsciously or perhaps even mindfully done. From your link: > Gallopers exerted that ef

Funnily enough that’s something I’ve just told my nephew off for, calling other peoples interests stupid or boring. He’s six and understood why he was wrong almost immediately.

Wow that really was fascinating! Went down a bit of a bower-hole there! The golden bower birds are incredible but they are all super interesting.

I don’t understand this comment. It IS a predictable problem. And they predicted it, and did something about it. If you live in a super hot location you can’t always get stuff shipped year round. I’d prefer that to dealing with the return a

The old Sumerian joke? I love reading the posited explanations for that joke in academia and when it’s posted randomly people usually have a stab at it too.
