Oh no, it's too late, I've already been fooled!

I'd actually love to wall mount but as a renter, not possible.

Currently living with elderly family and she also won't have a bar of a wall mount.

It's also helped me find the names of several books and films that have been rattling around in my mind, some for decades, which actually made me very happy because not remembering that sort of thing drives me a little mad.

I'm stuck on two books that it can't work out - both absolute trash pulp fiction, one that I stopped reading because it was so terrible and the other that was so bad but I actually wouldn't mind reading again.

Oh well, can't have it all.

My issue is at work, "I'll just do this one more thing", and then instead of my usual 2pm lunch, it's now suddenly 3pm which even for me is crazy late..

Doesn't matter what level of culinary experience you are partaking in, the kitchen is probably partaking in something.

To the point where it's actually a huge issue and there are organisations to deal with the drug abuse and depression experienced by chefs and other hospitality workers.

My employment is in tandem to the hospitality industry and we sponsor some of these charities, among others.

I keep thinking of the monoblock as the monolith from 2001. But with water cooling tubes sticking out of it.

I don't want to look it up because I like the picture in my imagination.

Some people wear a padded bra for comfort, not looks. Ironic that you use the word "pointless", because the padding helps with.. points. So it can actually be quite practical.

Likewise, the numpad can be more about comfort, even for a little ol admin/service person. I use both sets of number keys depending on - well, I'm not sure, just whatever feels right.

They're literally a household name.

I grew up poor in Australia, and no one really had pay TV around me - least of all the people I hung with. Over the years, you'd still learn through other TV shows and movies that HBO was the channel with the good stuff.

Why change that? Why lose such branding? Have they become associated with something that they don't want to be? If not, leave great enough alone.

All I could think while reading this.

If they get away with it, what's to stop them or their golf buddies in parallel industries from pulling the same type of stunt again.

My body is ready! Or, well, my phone is.

"On it" or "checking" is my acknowledgement.

👍is my approval.

Last thing I want is a trainee jumping the gun!
