There was a story years ago about some scientists who dropped a box of tablets into a village somewhere that had no previous contact with modern tech. They went back some time later, and the kids had figured out, not only how to use them, but had networked them too. I wonder what ever happened with that, or if it was even true? I suppose I should google it.

There is nothing new here. There has always been a vocal, violent, right leaning minority in Irish society. There have been two instances that have made headlines around the world in the past few weeks that may make it seem like Irish society in general is leaning further to the right. I hope this isn't true.

We had 40C here in London this time last year. It was not pleasant. It didn't even rain.

I told my then 8 year old son that I only liked long grain rice. He asked me if I was a ricist. Definatly mine.

Imagine this plane with a fire on board before takeoff and now the unfit overweight masses have to evacuate.

I was mistaken, it's predicted to reach 120f.

That makes it a Theocracy.

Over 200 hours on Death Stranding. During lockdown it was like therapy. Not into MMOs. Possibly more on other games but that is the one that surprised me most when I saw how long it took to platinum it. And then game+ing it too.

Push the top strap through the rear of the top hole and back out through the bottom hole. Then push the bottom strap through the rear of the bottom hole and out through the top. Pull tight.

Or whatever it is I have?

"En Retard" is French for late. Also "retard" means delay, in French.
