2. Going to bed at a reasonable time

With our children now nearly 17 and 20, my wife's just told me of a #christmashack she's often thought of - but never told me, or acted in it (because she always thinks of it at the time, and never before).

If your child puts an empty stocking out awaiting Santa to fill it with (little) gifts […]

It's now feeling like the worst bits of Jools' Hootenanny with the fake Chrismas cheer and "what do you hope for in 1991"

Probably should watch Ghost again at some point.

Not sure if I've seen it since the cinema! But that seems unlikely.

That was... jarring. #totp

And triggers an unnecessary cover klaxon.

Well after reading this long sarcastic newsletter on the whole NVIDIA and AI grift, I gotta assume we are all screwed. Seems extremely likely that the vast majority of GPUs sold that justify NVIDIA being the biggest company by market cap in the world are not even powered up. Which is a good […]

Way back in the mid 90s I briefly got really into MOD file music. There was a track I had that used a bunch of samples from The Crow.

Lmao this is a long shot, but are any GeoGuessr champs able to help me with a dumb problem

FedEx delivered an important package to the wrong address somewhere in my ZIP code and refuses to help me

All I’ve got is this photo and the knowledge that it’s somewhere in 91790

It's got to the point in the year where I can't put off doing the self-assessment tax returns any longer.

It's not too hard - I know where to get all the numbers, but it's always interesting to see how close my rough & ready spreadsheet will be to the amount actually owed.
