I started drinking lots of alcohol. It didn’t really help in the long run.

It’s like liquid therapy.

Then you lose your family and job.

It’s great!

He’s just having a lovely holiday somewhere, comrade.

You go girl!

Heh heh… I wasn’t suggesting it was a documentary.

Well, ya gotta have a hobby.

On a slight tangent, how come in the Mad Max movies (not the first one) the ‘societies’ he encounters seem to be the products of multi-generational effort, especially Fury Road.

In the first one, there’s a more or less functional world almost as we know it. Then he goes out into the deserts and it’s like 100 years passes.

Sterling.

No I won’t accept any other answers.

He who forgets history, is doomed to flunk their history class and will probably have to do it again until they pass.

Yeah ‘broke’ means different things to people like that. It just means their 3rd homes might need to be rented out for a while, not that they are in danger of missing a meal or 10.

Says China, who frequently engages in confrontations.

Sure. Sounds good. I saw lots of stand-alone routers on the shelves, but nary a solo modem.

My query was purely theoretical anyway.

Thanks for all the responses. V interesting.

The other day while shopping for a new modem-router, we kept finding good deals only to realise that they were only routers. No fibre-to-the-house for us yet so dems no good. Don’t want to chase around finding a separate modem too. Got a TP-Link Deco in the end. It seemed the easiest / best thing available to the physical Saturday consumer in need.

So theoretically if you didn’t need more than one device at your end connected, you could (in theory) plug the internet cable straight into a pc. In theory.

I was just thinking how captured the basic necessity of hydration has become. So many people have become fooled into emptying their pockets to buy soda etc. and the idea of merely drinking normal water is not enough. Plus the lack of enforcement to regulate a universally clean water supply to all areas. I mean… clean accessible water is a super basic foundation of civilisation. Now corporations have diverted that need into profit and almost certainly helped derail any plans to ensure that water is safe and drinkable.

Even rats need a hobby.

There was some movie on TV that I caught a glimpse of when I should’ve been in bed. I was probably about 3 yo. It was some blobby monster which in my memory was a bit like a skinny Michelin Man, emerging from a pond or river. Scared the shit outta me and the memory stuck.

The Very Hungry Caterpillar was a game changer for me. Mind.fucking.blown. The plot arc was a tour de force and the twist at the end was sensational.

Yeah it’s fucking hard and doesn’t really square up with reason and logic in broad daylight. I know.

Try the book. I listened to it while driving, on Spotify. It makes sense and involving discovering triggers relating to past trauma which the addict is trying to escape.
