This video nicely sums up one of my problems with the Drake Equation - especially how we’re becoming more radio quiet over the years. Where is everybody? Probably looking at their phones on Zaxlon 3.

Just rode my eBike in the rain for the first time. Was dreading it. But you know what? It’s really not that bad. It was a 4 km, 12 minute ride, mostly up hill (I employed turbo power all the way) and it was smashing down. Now for a hot shower and a cold beer.
I’m making beer!
Life hack: buy a duvet one size bigger than your bed size.
I’m not a Marvel super fan. I heckled my way through the Avengers movies (at home). I liked Black Panther. Captain America and the Winter Soldier was absolutely terrible. But Wandavision and Loki? Absolutely top tier sci-fi TV. Watch them if you haven’t.
I’m over winter now. I’m looking forward to those long months where I don’t have to wear socks.
I’ve only ever activated Audio Messages in iOS by accident. Wish you could turn that feature off.
★★★★★ for the coolest beer can I’ve ever seen.
The best DC superhero is Captain Planet. Fact.
Months are dumb. Just use weeks and the day of the year. You could say, for example, my birthday is 215 1987 (August 3rd 1987), or as I’d much prefer, 215, 11987 (using the human era calendar).

Top tip: neither of these mice work on modern Macs.
Console games are way too expensive. And yes, I know they basically haven’t gone up in price in 30 years, but that just shows I’ve been ripped off less over time. I could buy all the games I want, but I’d be looking at thousands of dollars which I’d rather spend elsewhere.
Ooo, episode 2 of Loki was good!
I just want to order a pair of trousers in the size I am that actually fit me when they arrive. All I’m asking is the size number of trouser I “fit” is actually the size that trouser in that number is. Why are so many pants liars and on fire?
It’s been almost a decade since I’ve worked for any amount of time in a skyscraper, it’s it’s interesting to note that they’re not a great use of space or resources – Why We Shouldn’t Build Skyscrapers.
There’s a lot of people dropping off their kids at school / daycare / kindergarten using eBikes. I see at least a dozen on my morning zip arounds. Some carrying 2 kids at once. Even in the rain. Which goes to show it’s possible and gaining in popularity. Yay! 🚲👨🏻🧒🏼👧🏼
There’s worse commuting views.
Can anyone recommend a good hybrid car? We’re after a small SUV/station wagon. The Subaru XV would be perfect if the hybrid version burnt less fuel than the petrol equivalent (yes, the hybrid is less fuel efficient).
Cleaned most of my garage today in preparation to start brewing in it. But even so, it’s falling down, leaky and still filthy. We’re planning on replacing it soon, which is good because man, the filth that builds up in a leaky garage is horrific. Urgh.
If you ask Siri to add rice wine vinegar to the shopping list it’ll add:
It’s not an exotic product, and yet Siri botches it every time.
Highly recommend The Mitchells vs. The Machines. It’s absolutely hilarious and fun for the whole family. Bound to turn into a cult classic.
I’m watching Ghost in the Shell SAC_2045 and the story is interesting, but the visuals look like they were all rendered on a mid range graphics card from 2005. I doubt my iPhone would break a sweat rendering this show in real time.
I know this may be asking a lot, but if you’re selling an iPhone wallet, it should be able to close with the phone and a few cards in it.
I caught a rat! I’ve had my rat/mouse trap out for a month and I finally got one!
