They break up a lot quicker if you run over them with a mower, which can also spread out the bits leaving a tidier looking lawn, thus keeping the HOA happy (maybe)

Yuuup. Woman in engineering here. I once had a supervisor whose behaviour I thought of as normal, but two guys I worked with separately reported him to HR for bullying after seeing how he treated me.

It's funny, I had many years with almost no career progression, now my boss is a woman and I'm having to get used to the idea that bonuses and promotions are things that actually happen when I work hard.

I had that with a contractor who had had my number for work purposes. He kept trying for 5 years.

I'm a butch lesbian, my mistake was being polite and chatty with him.

Hi, I'm a left wing rather than right wing idiot. The BBC has proved itself an unreliable source plenty of times. They're beholden to political influence (see today's story about one of their staff not being allowed to talk about heat pumps because it's a "political issue")

Because of the existence of Kiwi Fruit?

Take a Bow by Muse works almost too perfectly, too

I looked at smaller things like the Pi and in the end decided I had more flexibility by just having a little PC and bunging Linux on it.

I just got a new smart TV, but it's never going on the internet, lol

I got a very cheap second hand HP G4 mini PC with a Bluetooth remote control.

It sits under my TV, and I use it for all my downloading needs (away from any computer that gets used for email or banking, etc), playing videos, and emulated games with an old Xbox controller.

Works faster than anything built into the TV, and the remote is better because it has a proper little keyboard on it :-)

TBH the experience is so positive I don't understand why anyone would want to use the smart features of a modern TV when they could be doing this instead.

Boot Liquor is a new one on me, thanks for the tip :-)

This is where a lot of Americana music comes in ... the online station Americana Boogie Radio has lots of defiant working class songs on it's playlist :-)

Star Trek Spoiler

See Picard series 2 for that
