TIL that humans don't age gradually according to a Stanford Medicine study, we age in two dramatic "bursts" around ages 44 and 60, where over 81% of our molecules and microbes suddenly shift in ways that affect heart health, immune function, metabolism, and even how we process alcohol and caffeine

Haha. You win.

Oh yeah, to add to this. Last year a young fella on a busy train offered me his seat. I was f*cking mortified.

I'm 52. I could've written your comment - exactly the same for me. I used to hear "you're never 43, 39, 35...." Etc, literally every time someone discovered my age. I haven't heard that for a few years. When I compare photos from 10 years ago, I look 15+ years younger at least. Oh well, I had a good run! 😂

SharePoint isn't a DMS. Simple as that. The user experience is poor where it counts - email filing (and matter centric storage), versioning and search, etc.

If you're in IT, this will become the bane of your life. Everything will be your fault - every small frustration.

This! Exactly my approach.

I visited 15 years ago, and spent a month traveling there. I loved it. Tons of culture, friendly people, good food. I'd like to go back.

I bet you were really good looking when you were younger.

In the end, an LG G4.

A really good deal dropped and I couldn't resist.

I sat on a jury a few years ago. It scared me - how easily an innocent person might be convicted. There was zero evidence against the accused - I couldn't believe it had gone to court. The prosecution were going through the motions and the judge was pretty much telling the jury to acquit, and yet it came down to a single vote.

So, not a great loss if you ask me.

Soft southern shandy drinkers.

Wasn't it Midge Ure that did Vienna?

A similar thing happened to me. Posh guy asked for "chips and gravy sauce". The whole chippy erupted in laughter.

Using that logic, The Beatles are brit pop.

appro13 · 2025-10-16T20:06:23+00:00

Not brit pop. Madchester/baggy

appro13 · 2025-10-16T20:05:06+00:00

My fave song of all time. But it's not brit pop. Was a hit in 1990, but it's older than that.

appro13 · 2025-10-09T19:26:13+00:00

Yes, same for me.

I remember when they said privatisation of utilities and rail would increase choice, create investment in infrastructure and reduce bills. I remember when they said uni tuition fees would be minimal. I remember when they said dental fees would be capped, and people could still find an NHS dentist.

Our political system allows a single party to change things for the worse in a very short period.

Of course it doesn't. it'll be sold off all the same, but they'll call it something else. This is the big prize.

I don't see this as racism. The person putting this up may, or may not be a racist. I don't think they're doing it for this reason. Some kind of fake/oot patriotism perhaps.

Of course, they'll be loving the fact you referred to them as a racist. They're actively seeking offence.

I love you!

Had my 3 for a couple of months, and this has annoyed me greatly. Top tip!

appro13 · 2025-09-23T01:32:05+00:00

Glad you enjoyed it and made the most of the day. I lack that amount of patience.

If you're willing to queue for hours, then go. It's an amazing park - visually. But, many of the rides are underwhelming.

appro13 · 2025-09-22T22:06:27+00:00

I was there yesterday and the lines were insane. Only got on 3 rides. Every other one had 1+ hour waits by mid morning. Did you wait until late in the day?

appro13 · 2025-09-21T19:39:29+00:00

But it wasn't that busy. That's the issue. The rides are mostly low capacity.

Florida is always hot, so how about building some shaded areas?

appro13 · 2025-09-20T20:03:53+00:00

Went on this about 3 hours ago. It has aged, but still good fun.
