    Do any of you feel tired ALL the time?

    Jump

  • My brother was sleepy all the time. It came to a head when he fell asleep at the wheel. Luckily the car drifted off the road onto a grass verge and no-one was hurt. Turned out he had sleep apnea - his breathing stopped time and again through the night, waking him. He never ever had a good deep sleep. He now has a CPAP machine that keeps his airways open while he sleeps. He says he's a new man.

  • What is a bad writing trope you hate in fantasy fiction ?

  • I remember when all the controversy started I thought wow, this must be exaggerated somehow, and sought out what she had actually said. Oh. My. Fucking. God. When she was challenged she didn't just double down, she quadrupled down, and then some. Loathsome woman, just awful.

  • What's your favourite field of science? 🔬

    Jump

  • Not a scientist, but I find astrophysics endlessly interesting. When daily life seems overwhelming it's good to consider what an insignificant morsel I am, in fact the whole solar system is, in the scale of the known universe.

  • Facebook now wants to write your posts for you with AI.

    Jump

  • Far-away family are the only reason I use FB too. My sister and some of my nieces use it to a disturbing degree, "checking in" when they're in restaurants etc, posting "memories", pictures of their kids. My sister has a special pose for her FB selfies - head tilt, fake smile. I hate it all with a burning fire, even when I'm clicking the heart button on a puppy photo.

    AI just seems like another step closer to the abyss, the death of true creativity.

  • I threatened to steal my friends identity to legally change his name to something funny. What name would you use?

    Jump

  • I remember a guy telling me that whenever a new woman started at work they'd phone her up say, "Is Mike there?" She'd say she was new & didn't know. "Oh, ok. Can you just stand up and call out if anyone's seen Mike? Last name Hunt." "Has anyone seen Mike Hunt?" Cue applause from the whole room.

  • "And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. ... But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you." Matthew 6:5-6

    Regular teabags are sometimes made using non-biodegradable plastic - be sure to buy those made with this starch based plastic. When I first saw biodegradable teabags I was surprised, I thought teabags were made of paper. Not so, it turns out.

  • Actor at Willy Wonka Disaster Says Even the Script Was AI-Generated

  • This feels like an episode of The Apprentice. Lord Sugar (appropriate!): “Willy Wonka? More like Willy Wanker.” Cut to sweaty Project Manager about to be fired.

  • I love the look on that poor dog's face - "Such a big bed, and I'm only allowed this little corner? Do something!"

  • How cheap is the cheapest home for sale in your city/region?

    Jump

  • Not answering the question really, but it prompted me to check out property prices in my home town in New Zealand - small town near a small city in the south. Example: 3br "character" wooden villa on a small section, NZ$700k (US$434k, £350k). I had heard about the explosion in NZ house prices, but that really took me aback. The house I live in now, 3br mid-terrace with garden in a similar sized Scottish town, would sell for about £250k. Even that seems crazy expensive, but at least it's within half an hour of a fantastic city.

    (The estate agent's website lists previous sale prices, it shows the kiwi horror story: 2022: $570k; 2019: $430k; 2011: $271k; 1988: $52k; 1984: $26k.)

  • Could it be that I just have horrible taste? No, it's the market that's wrong!

    Jump

  • The thing is though, I might want to sell before I die. I've got a good 20 years in me!

  • I kind of like it too. When I was 12 my parents asked what colour I wanted my bedroom painted. "Purple." They painted it off-white. I'm over 70 now and still have never had a purple room. My kitchen is pale grey ffs.

    Off to look at paint charts ....

  • No, no magnifying glass, it just highlighted the word, options to cut or copy.

  • I just tried this on my iPad, because this is its most irritating flaw. Sadly it didn't work, and nor did the space-bar "trick". The only option if the word isn't in the dictionary is to erase and try again. It's absolutely infuriating when I've typed out a long name, only to find a typo near the start. It's actually easier to write stuff on my (Android) phone, despite the much smaller screen, because I can place the cursor exactly where I want.
