I don’t really play anymore but occasionally I get the desire to play some Gran Turismo. The last three or four times I’ve had that urge, both the console and the game required rather large updates. Half an hour later, still not done updating… desire to play gone with the wind. Rinse and repeat 3 months later.

I see Pratchett, Making Money up there, too. I like this guy.

I dreamt I visited Jurassic Park with my class from elementary school. Everyone got eaten except me.

I hope there’s a future where providing the blueprints for wear parts is a common thing to do. It could make it easy to extend the life of a great many things, I reckon.

The US embassy in Norway sent a letter to their electricity and heat provider (Hafslund), demanding that they stop any DEI type activities within the company.

Hafslunds’ response was, in short, “we can stop providing power and heat, no problem”.

I’m all out of RAM, this is the best I can do.

Not every day you get to view the clouds up close?

Except where trams are involved. Those have a license to kill.

Yes, it’s ‘fem’ in Norwegian, too…

Yup, I can’t get past 5 in Norwegian.

Me neither. It was just ridiculous. When it got to the point where the floor board on the Eclipse mysteriously fell out it was just too all too much, for me. How people who know and love cars ever could think that movie was great is beyond me.

I saw one of the later movies in the cinema, since my date wanted to see it. I felt it was some of the worst goo I’d ever seen, while my date thought it was “fantastic”. I remember thinking “this isn’t going to work out…”, hehe.

Red sky at night, sailors delight.

Harald Fairhair would probably be amazed at the lack of bloodshed during political discussions.

A plug-in hybrid is cool, to me, in that I can charge it and use it as pure EV for my daily commutes, but if I forget/am unable to charge it it don’t have to worry for a second. And I don’t need to worry about the range on my 500km roundtrip to my cabin (full charge + full tank equals ~1100km range on my Prius).

Also, fuel consumption is relatively low, so whenever I do have to burn fuel I’m not breaking the bank.

Sandy is lucky to have you and you’re lucky to have her!

They just know that trying to appease, or make a deal with, a country where a blabbering idiot is behind the wheel is pointless.

Ah, I forgot to mention that I live in Norway, and over here debit cards started taking over from check use in the 80s.

I last remember seeing my mom write one in the mid 80s. Personally I’ve never used one, and I’m pushing 50.

Add to that how most poor people in the US are in that situation because they live in a every-man-for-himself society, created and maintained by the rich because infighting among the populace keeps them from looking higher and wider to solve their problems.

I’m so sorry, I meant to say except Bernie - the man is a legend.
