It’s like phone books were for phone numbers. A categorised directory that allowed you to easily find the types of websites you were interested in.

Same here. I loved A Knight’s Tale and 10 Things I Hate About You so much and I watched it many times a as kid. My then sister in law told me about the news and I didn’t believe her until I heard the news on the radio.

Oh damn I completely forgot about this. I was pretty rattled about it at the time.

Such an unnecessary and unlucky way to die, too. He died way too young. Did the parents end up winning the lawsuit?

I think they meant the latter.

Edit: after giving it some thought…I suppose it could be both. XD

There are also a lot of shirts being sold here in Europe that have names of states or cities printed on them (such as California, Los Angeles, New York, etc).

The moment I saw it I immediately read it as a 3.

Is it, though? Because if the billionaires had all that money but only themselves and their billionaire friends on team billionaire, how powerful would they actually be (in comparison to, say, now) if they didn’t have any non billionaires on their side?

I think they’re this powerful right now because there are a lot of non-billionaires who are dumb enough to do whatever they’re told by them even if it’s not in their own best interest (or the rest of the world’s) at all.

Why a boomer of all things? O.O

None, really. I’d play Mortal Kombat with my much older sibling as a child and also grew up playing games like Diablo and GTA (the old ones). I really liked Carmageddon and Postal, too. TBH what I enjoyed the most about GTA was stealing cars and driving around in them. XD Or blocking traffic with a bunch of cars.

Not sure how it is over there but in The Netherlands in a situation like that it would be difficult to have them leave because you are not allowed to just kick them out without a very good reason (to protect the tenants). So if there are any problems or you changed your mind (at least here) you’d be stuck with them if they refused to leave.

I looooved Simon The Sorcerer so much as a child! One of my favourite point and click adventures.

I was going to say exactly this. When I have to take a break from exercising and need to get back to it it’s not easy, but I remind myself of all the benefits that come with exercising and how much better it made me feel and that gives me the motivation to get started again. The easiest way for me to force myself to exercise on a day I really don’t feel motivated to do it (or I’ve been out of it for a while) is by putting on my sport outfit and readying whatever I need for my exercises, telling myself I can still change my mind and not do it whenever I want. But by the time I got changed and everything is ready I think “I might as well just do it”.

And it just really takes that one time to fully remind myself of how good it feels afterwards and it gives me the motivation to keep going. Sometimes I’ll end up enjoying it so much I can’t wait for my next exercise session and no, it’s not the actual exercising myself I enjoy, but how I feel afterwards.

Why would it make you a bad person? You might live to be 90 and you could have 40 good years with your kid. There are young parents who die young as well, so I don’t see how that would be a problem.

Thanks for the tips! I’ll have a look!

Haha, to be honest it took me a bit to figure out you might have meant nephew. XD I must admit I even looked it up to see if there was a different meaning to the word that I didn’t know about. :'-)

Thanks for the tips. I do vaguely remember seeing a setting somewhere but I think I’ll need to look into it more when I’m more awake (it’s past midnight here).

Isn’t neoprene a synthetic material?

My husband also uses the power button to power off his PC. I didn’t even know it was a thing until he asked me to do it for him at some point and I was very confused. He’s on Windows. I didn’t know this worked on Linux as well (though I know it’s a thing on laptops). Is there a way to configure what it does (on PC) like it does on laptops?

People don’t do this? Sitting in dirty water for a period of time doesn’t make me feel any cleaner.

It’s a Shiba Inu.

I’m in my mid 30s and have never been drunk before. I don’t like how alcohol tastes and drinking it doesn’t really add much value for me. The only alcoholic beverages I do like are Baileys, Pisang Ambon (mixed with 7up/Sprite), white chocolate liquor and Tokkelroom. Recently discovered Salmari and I like that as well. I very rarely drink any of that, though, and when I do it’s like one glass at most. Tokkelroom though…I like it so much that I wouldn’t be surprised if at some point I ended up eating all of that in one go.

If I need to get up at 5AM I just set my alarm and as soon as the alarm goes off I hop out of bed, to force myself to actually get up before I get the chance to start thinking about it (and postponing the getting up part).

As for what I do in the evening: if getting up at 5AM every day is my goal I just start by setting my alarm at 5, and aim to go to bed earlier. If I did go to bed late the night before, I would still set my alarm at 5 and just be tired the next day. Because the next day I’ll feel so tired I’ll automatically end up going to bed earlier. So it works itself out. So if I really wanted or needed to get up at 5AM every day I’d just do it even if I didn’t sleep enough hours the night before. Once I’m in a routine I don’t even need to set my alarm. I’ll just automatically wake up at that hour.
