Pretty mental isn’t it!

I’m in Australia. We might be a bit nuts over here but at least we have Medicare. Private health insurance is optional and becoming increasingly expensive, but the public system, although stressed, covers everyone.

We do pay a Medicare levy in our taxes but it’s nothing like USA costs. A few hundred a year I think.

They are. Not bad heaters back in the day.

Isn’t that what tariffs will do for them? (ignoring the blowback)

UHT milk.

I bought a uv tooth brush sterilizer. Not sure if it’s doing anything useful but it’s a colourful addition to the bathroom.

“Your McLeans are showing.”

A large reel to reel tape recorder.

A few early pentium laptops that no longer turn on.

“It’s been going on for quite a while…”

Decompose.

I think pool would be harder to emulate than pinball unless using a real cue and VR. It’d be hard to have a one to one user interface for this whereas pinball is mostly binary since flippers went electronic.

That said, I’ve fond memories of some pool games in the DOS / '95 era. The duration of the mouse click being the analog to the cue force.

Hehe you’re right kinda.

I take my phone data offline after about midnight and if I can’t sleep I’ll do Solitaire or crosswords.

If I’m really wanting a good game, Zen Pinball is my poison. One day I plan to get an old TV and turn it into a Zen Pinball machine, as others have done on YouTube.

He might hit a power or water line.

I can’t hear you. Or your verb.

Naah. Propellers!
