A friend of a friend [1] used to walk topless around NYC on occasion. She would frequently get "stopped and released" by police. She knew the laws better than they did. She did say that she got far more verbal criticism/abuse

Well, I don't think it was a rational thing to do, but that's not a reason not to do it. The race [1] took place on circular hiking route 118 miles with 19,000ft of climbing. I'd hiked sections of the route (which typically t

I did an ultra running race that took 37 hours last month. I got maybe 10minutes sleep. I had hallucinated before during (shorter) long races but I had no idea that auditory hallucinations [1] were a thing. it was trippy "hearing&quo

Takes me back to my favourite (UK) games magazine of the day - Zzap64! which featured "Elite 64" on its debut cover (May 1985) to celebrate the CBM64 launch of the game. https://archive.org/details/zzap64-maga

Caherdaniel, Kerry, Ireland, in a dark sky preserve [1] has a "Walk of the Planets" [2] along the Kerry Way hiking trail where both the planets and distance between them (3.5kms) are to scale. It's a really interesting way to

I strongly recommend the American Computer & Robotics Museum [1] in Bozeman, MT. It's a small museum with a huge legacy. [1] - https://acrmuseum.org

Another recommendation for CRPG fans - "The CRPG Book: A Guide to Computer Role-Playing Games ". The first edition is gorgeous. Looks like they are publishing a new edition next year [1]. A PDF of the last edition is freely availa

Sorry to be a pedant - it's 118 years since the "original" 1904 Bloomsday but it's the 119th Bloomsday, if you include the first one. (1905 was one year after the original but was the second Bloomsday etc). There are eve

Great question. Take legal for example. I spend a lot of my time working with lawyers in countries where we are setting up a vehicle / working with a client but where I am not domiciled and IANAL in any country! I decide with our manag

In my case, you are right. An accountant, a lawyer, a HR professional etc could each do that element of the job better than I could yet I doubt any of them could do all aspects of my job better than I do. The question is scale. When you&#x2

I think you are right re: productized services. I don't want to go from employed generalist to contractor generalist. I've been an IT contractor earlier in my career and I felt it was just another form of employment, with certain

I've been lucky in that respect. A lot of start-up financial firms in my sector are founded by traders looking to go our on their own. The last thing they want to do is deal with "back office" matters so it is one space where

High school in Ireland, 1983 or 1984. A few of us started an after school D&D club. The school allowed us to use a classroom. It was great until a parent complained that we were "devil worshipping". The vice principal was very
