Caravan parks are usually a form of vacation home (often rented out by the owner) so although they sound like a trailer park, they don’t have the connotations of “trailer trash”.

The parks are often in a resort-like setting, with video arcades, bike rental, mini golf, cafes and clubs.

The clubs can be family-oriented so it’s not unusual to have kids there too.

Here’s where I spent several happy childhood trips, feeding 10p’s into arcade machines: there’s an arcade next to the club. The family would spend each evening in the club which had a bar and live entertainment every night (I mean songs, comedy etc, not erotic dancers).

Looking at it now, it does have a low-budget vibe (there were communal washrooms, no toilet or shower in our caravan!), but as a kid, I loved it.

Physicist: “assuming a spherical year …”

Can’t spell “functional” without “fun”!

Whichever version it is, I hope that one day I can delete a mail, change my mind, press ctrl-z and it will actually undo the last delete and not some random one from earlier in the day.

Some of the American English words used by young people sounds confusing, but are just abbreviations: “riz” for charisma.

Others, I don’t know where they came from: “yeet” to mean throw.

Skeptoid.

The first time I tried steering-assist on a car felt like a significant transition.

Even though it was a simple "stay in lane"feature, feeling the car moving the wheel took a bit of getting used to.

I know that there are lots of other replies about the Internet and phones, but I’ve always liked maps so as a specific example that’s an area that has transformed astoundingly. I have a map in my pocket that can show me anywhere in the world, give me directions, monitor traffic levels, show aerial photographs and street-level photographs of many areas of the world. I can fly around a 3D view of a city’s buildings, and even see where my family members are.

Oh, and you can buy vacuum cleaners that don’t need bags, now.

States probably require liability insurance, but don’t care if you can’t pay for damage to your own vehicles.

No.

Can’t they just decorate them with fridge magnets?

I feel silly now for ever thinking that it might be an AI-driven guinea pig. No machine would have said that.

Is the inspiration behind it, I think.

But is the software written by developers with access to the outside and daylight? Even if they prefer to shun it and choose blackout curtains.

This scheme does not need a list, and if necessary could be simplified enough, some common part with first three letters of the site:

• For Instagram: my-memorable-password-Ins
• For Facebook: my-memorable-password-Fac

The memorable part could be the initials of a favorite song lyric, or something: nggyunglydIns, nggyunglydFac etc.

But the suggestion of using the Chrome password manager sounds like it will be seamless. I don’t know if it would work on IOS, but on Android it fills passwords in for many apps, not just web pages.

Segmentation fault?

There an app for that now.

At least, there is on the Flipper Zero.

A tone dialer. Like this

Not for phone phreaking, just for speed-dialling.

I would make international calls frequently. I would buy calling cards. The process was: dial the 800 number on the card. Enter the id number on the card to use some of its credit. Dial the number to call. Their service would then connect me at a low rate to another country(probably making a voip call).

So I’d set up the 3 speed dial buttons with those. For each new card I’d only have to change the card’s unique number.
