This is Winston Churchill visiting the White House during World War II. Funny how he isn’t wearing a suit either. Almost like he was a wartime leader defending his country from being slaughtered and wiped out by an authoritarian aggressor.

This should be a lot of fun! Season 1 was one of my all-time favorite shows, regardless of genre. Please don't disappoint!

Hello non-technical people. Just a heads up. Musk isn’t a programmer, a systems architect, or anyone with experience building or running large systems of any kind. However, he’s taken credit for others binding large systems which makes him think he’s That Guy. He is not.

Switch 2 seems to improve in all the right areas. Hoping for a decent specs bump, and a competitive price tag 🤞🏻

Loving these etymological history lessons. In Norwegian, we have the equivalent ‘økenavn’, a reminder of our common linguistic roots 🤓

So, "white month" means refraining from any alcohol other than white wine, right?

Charles Bukowski said it best: doubt is the burden of the thoughtful. Confidence, unfortunately, often belongs to the clueless.

I didn’t have particularly high expectations for Skeleton Crew, but I was very pleasantly surprised! Those who describe it as Goonies in space, are spot on. And in my book, that’s a great compliment!

How do I know it’s Christmas morning? I have suddenly purchased all the cash my daughters were gifted, and am now figuring out where I can use cash with least inconvenience. Merry Christmas everyone!

The 'Sport' mode on my Ford S-Max people-carrier works exactly the same as the 'Turbo' button of my childhood 486 computer.

Duolingo boasts an impressive catalog of languages you can learn, including Klingon and High Valyrian. One glaring omission, though, is Gen-Z Slang. That would've been very helpful, no cap!

Apart from some slightly dated CGI (looking at you, Gollum), the LOTR trilogy still provides a solid film experience in my opinion. As one of the nerds who read the books before the movies came, I prefer the extended editions, though 🤓

Why is it so hard to extend the support plan of my Dell work laptop? I expected a simple "pay to extend" mechanism in the Dell SupportAssist app. What I got was a web form, an e-mail conversation with some sales rep, another web form, until halting on the fact the service tag was not in my name...

The shape and form of my mid-life crisis is emerging. I just ordered spare parts from Kitsch-Bent in order to refurbish my old N64 controllers, while waiting for my pre-ordered Analogue 64 to ship. Sooo, what games are essential in a retro N64 collection? 🤔

I would much rather my TV had 4 extra HDMI ports, than any smart-TV OS. That software is bound to be obsolete long before the expected lifespan of the panel itself.

I used to enjoy reading books in my spare time. I still enjoy literature, but my spare time is ever shrinking. I still have my daily commute, though, and audiobooks are now my preferred medium. On that note, I can highly recommend the Red Rising trilogy, splendidly narrated by @tgrey.bsky.social!

These days, I increasingly play video games on easy difficulty, with absolute zero shame. As an adult, I play to unwind and relax, not to hate my life for hours before finally beating a mission or level.
