I have a weakness for isometric management games, obscure simulators, irrelevant details of long-dead memory addressing schemes and listening to "The Legend Of Xanadu" more times than is strictly age-appropriate.
If a flat roof pub is the worst sort of pub, then surely the best possible pub would be to build one into the base of a space elevator.

The combination of having a big rubble and dust generating task on at the house and listening to too much Hawkwind is I keep finding myself singing "Henry, hoover with a name / I want your help yet once again".

My partner bought me a very nice DAC/headphone amplifier thing which with my personality is probably the most antisocial item I could be given, in the sense I will resume contact with the outside world in (checks Foobar2000) 5 weeks, 2 days and 17 hours.
At least I'm using the closed-backs with it.

Not to say the cognitive decline is real but I just expressed a concept as, "made a new cow using some existing other cows".

I attempted to shut down my work laptop and came back to it to find it still running with a "do you want to stop debugging?" dialog open in Visual Studio which at this point on a Friday I think technically means we should arrest Windows for treason.

Enjoy those videos where someone takes four times as long as any reasonable being should to make a point? Live for when someone says "without further ado" and yet there is, in fact, further ado?

Partner claimed there was nothing good in the 7" collection. I would defend, but instead I'll just post the 5 things at the front of Singles Box B and let you judge.

Not to say my brain is a stew of massive filesystem corruption after getting back home at 3am last night, but I just tried to remember the seven deadly sins and they came back as,

One big advantage the current generation of kids has over mine is the ability to answer the classic parent and/or teacher "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING???" with "general performance and stability improvements".

We did some clearing out at the weekend and I have located what feels like the world's scungiest iPod. Whoever owned it before me applied every type of protector they could find to it, all of which have attempted to regress back to primordial sludge in the decades since.

I'm so used to my original 2004 "uncleared samples" copy of Thunder, Lighting, Strike that listening to it on streaming (which naturally will be the "actually legal" 2005 version) feels unsettling every time I notice something missing or different.

When I was young I saw a Center Parcs advert and assumed the entire thing, forest and all, was underneath the dome and I was well into my 20s before I found out the dome is just the swimming pool complex and so anyway that's the origin story of one of my longest-held irrational grudges.

Reading the "NO MAYO" tag on a prepackaged sandwich of a type that would not normally contain mayonnaise like, "this is not reassuring me, this is making me question your understanding of sandwiches".

Everyone hates AI slop, midroll ads, clickbait topics etc. but as someone who deliberately does none of these I'm seeing about 10% of the organic reach and <1% of the engagement for "I just did a random thing that interested me" compared to 1-2 years ago.

The audience size of my "historically accurate niche reference" puns is shrinking to the point I am fairly confident I will be able to reliably create puns that even I don't understand by the time I'm 50.
