How dairy alternatives stack up. I personally drink soy milk, which turns out to be one if the best. M’lady drinks almond milk, although it’s Australian almond milk, so may not be quite as bad for the environment as US almonds.

Sometimes I skip between reading a headline and then the short description of the article below it. I just Read: Greta Thunberg to send warships to support Greece.
Meanwhile, in New Zealand vintage train news: Lumsden hoists 1885 V-class locomotive from tonnes of river muck
🏏 Why can’t we ever win a super over.
Augmented and virtual reality could destroy the travel industry. Unfortunately it’s a decade or more away. And also unfortunately, virtually hugging loved ones in far off lands is still the stuff of science-fiction.
After decades, the wild things from Where the Wild Things Are still freak me out.
An apple a day keeps the doctor away. If a doctor eats an apple, they explode into a paradoxical plasma.
You know you’re old if it feels like 2003 was just a few years ago, and 2035 is an incomprehensible far future.
One thing that always confused me about the uniforms in Star Trek TNG is that Picard’s never seems to fit. He’s always pulling it down, like he’s wearing a t-shirt that’s too short.
That was an interesting episode of Doctor Who (Season 12 Episode 9).
With the (justified) panic regarding Coronavirus, remember that “[those face masks are absolute rubbish and they do nothing(https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/408255/wuhan-coronavirus-face-masks-do-nothing-virologist).”
🖖🏼 J’aime écouter Jean-Luc parler français. That was… interesting. Seems a lot’s happened in the Federation over the last 18 years. I’m looking forward to the next episode. The final scene was… whaaa?
🖖🏼 It’s dark, I’ve got my headphones on, there’s no cricket on, and so I can finally watch episode 1 of Star Trek Picard.
Small possibility we may be visiting BC and Seattle this year.
“By far, the modern use of the word ‘decimate’ is people correcting others that they’ve misused the word decimate.”
It’s shaping up to be a hot weekend. 27° tomorrow and 28° on Sunday. Oof I need to chill some beer.
🏏 My beloved Black Caps are dominating in the first quarter of their innings. Will be interesting to see how India go with the bat. They’re not great on lish green wickets. 73/0 after 7.
I was surprised.
Oh no. What kind of timing is this!?
If you’re a Star Trek fan, you have to watch this. No, you’re crying.
I just turned the world into an open face sandwich.
M’lady woke up in a panic last night saying a giant spider had just bitten her. I thought she’d dreamed it, but turns out it was a weta crawling on her face (they’re huge, but harmless)
I like learning French with Duolingo, but something that’s infuriating is the listening:
“Ils regardent la télé” (they are watching the TV) and “Il regarde la télé” (he is watching the TV)
Are pronounced exactly the same, but write the incorrect one and you’re marked wrong.
🖖🏼 I’m watching a lot of Voyager before Picard comes out. A question I have RE the Borg is why they walk around their ships pushing buttons if they’re all linked up and integrated with their technology. Seems utterly redundant, save for drones boarding other vessels/planets.
I am 100% buying one of these CO₂ tank Sodastream adaptors when they become available, because getting refills at the supermarket is extremely expensive.
