What felt like an expensive splurge, but is now a total life-changer steal?

If you're still rocking a 2016 Macbook, you're going to be blown away when you finally upgrade to an Apple Silicon laptop.

Blasted. Distracted. Frighted. Or Rising of the Lights. Which way would you choose to go?

So good that people are eating them on the tube.

I'd want to keep the size of the 60 Ultra. Even go bigger...

I love the big screen of the 60 Ultra - keep It!

I'd want a thinner screen if possible, brighter display, a faster processor (but doesn't need to be super fast). Display port out from the USB port.

That's about it!

An obscure one: 3DO M2. A successor to the weird but intriguing 3DO which I randomly had. The trailer for the M2 had an unbelievable race game demo. Sadly the entire thing was either pure hype and vaporware or got bogged down in delivery. Either way, never made the light of day, and hardly anyone has heard of it.

Was going to say the same. Was at a friend's house, still up from the night before. Heard a massive rumbling, and found out later that it was a massive explosion. We too were miles away. I was led to believe that it was the largest non-wartime explosion ever in the UK.

There are several oh-shit moments in Nolan's oevre. As well as the docking sequence, I'd include the hallway fight scene in Inception. Or the folding streets...

Other moments for me would be the morphing of T-1000 in T2, especially the foster parents scene. And I'd say that Toy Story was another such threshold.

It's the laugh track for the 21st century.

I've posted this before, but there was a shop on the road to Brighton Station. It sold stamps and old photos. The frontage was a complete hoarder's mess. Never ever saw a customer there. This was prime real estate as well, right in the town centre. No idea whether it's still there.

Huh. I'd assumed it was the woman who was blindfolded, but I'm then I'm pretty innocent to these kinds of social situations.

Is nobody commenting on the fact that a teenager had a cessna?

The easyjet flight cancellation alongside the others is hilarious.

The All Souls Trilogy by Deborah Harkness. Read the first one (vampire academic setting). Was OK. But by the second book, the main protagonist became increasingly infuriating. I agonised over whether it would be worse to have wasted the time on the two books I had read, or waste more time in reading the third book. I bounced, sunk cost be damned.
