I’m 45 and suffer crippling, life long mental illness. Eventually you get used to counting the days. It’s tiring but at least I don’t want to step in front of a train.
Who has time to worry about Canada legalizing weed when the US (where I’m from) is balancing on an ever thinner knife’s while lunatics in/running for government positions are actively trying to pull us down into actual Hell. I just hope the chaos doesn’t spill over into y’all’s country. Canada has been a good neighbor and I’ve got friends and family up there.
I saw these guys on some show back during Discovery’s slide into trash content. IIRC they got plastic surgery to even out some minor variations to become more identical.
Reminds me of an story I heard once. Guy working on a job locks and tags out a circuit so he can work on it. Guy goes up on a ladder to do the work.
Coworker comes along and sees circuit left locked; he decides he needs to activate the circuit. Coworker uses bolt cutters to remove the lock and flips on the circuit.
Guy on ladder gets literally knocked off the ladder, falls 10-20 feet onto grass. Guy is rushed to the ER.
Boss investigates, gives coworker two options: either he can quit immediately, or he can keep working and personally explain himself to guy in a month when he gets out of the hospital.
I’ve had so many VR fanboys going on and on about how it’ll change the world, and I’ve always told them they were wrong because of the cost and tech limitations like battery life. Also the fact that people will think it looks stupid - even something as comparatively minimal as Google Glass was ridiculed, hated, and flopped.

A lot of those wacky screws exist solely to keep people from randomly messing with them. You have to really go out of your way the get the right tool for the job, and that’s if there even is one.
Like the one-way screws holding together bathroom stalls.
In fairness Spot was a week known menace to everyone but Data. Although I suspect a Vulcan would probably have been fine. As for cats, I believe that even a targ would likely avoid picking a fight with a cat.
Ignoring the lack of updates if the game is buggy, games back then were also more focused on quality and make gamers replay the game with unlockable features based on skills, not money.
