Just got my old Amigas 500 working including its hard disk. Amazing really as it's not been powered on for 25 years. Feeling a little emotional TBH.

22 minutes to install a complete operating system on a PC including database software, several languages (eg python, C) and oodles of other software. 17 minutes taken up by me carefully reading and checking stuff. #slackware

Dad, look, the characters in this game show real ethnic diversity!

Yeah, not only that but you're shooting them indiscriminately too.

A deformed and/or ferocious-looking witch. Baba Yaga flies around in a pestle, wields a mortar, and dwells deep in the forest in a hut. In Russian folkloric myths her house is described as standing on chicken legs (or sometimes a single chicken leg)

Zooming through the wintry British countryside. It looks just like Sir, you are being hunted. I'm sure I saw a red visor and a puff of pipe smoke near Wigan.

I'm new to yoga but is it normal for the instructor to laugh at a novice and then for someone to come in an kick your arse, literally? Asking for a friend.

Put your jacket on.
Why?
Because it's cold.
Why?
Because it's winter.
Why?
Because our hemisphere is tilted away from the Sun.
Why?
Our planet's rotational axis is not aligned with its orbital axis.
Why?
In the primordial solar nebula...
Dad! Shut up.
Why?

Spent the day pulling council finances apart and putting them back together. I understand them better now but not sure I understand myself.
