    Is being controversial a 'thing'?

    Where is the evidence of Huawei colluding with the Chinese government? I haven't seen any, just speculation.

    The community that comes from religion is something that us atheists miss. Going to a religious ceremony can be a good thing, just for its social nature. I'm just off to the nursing home for my pureed Christmas lunch, complete with nosepeg.

    Torn between two lovers, feeling like a fool

    I have strange feelings towards BMW's, with prejudice towards their drivers. I won't say what I think on here, for risk of offending! But apparently, after a bit of Googling, it is 'a thing'. There is some image problem with BMW. Not sure where it comes from. I also find the name 'Sony' to have...

    Is being controversial a 'thing'?

    Huawei are a huge company that no one really heard much about until recently. They have overtaken Apple in Smartphones and are the second biggest supplier, behind Samsung. However, they grew about 40% in the last year in Smartphones, so the projections suggest they will become the biggest in...

    Spam

    We got our first spam poster today. A Chinese supplier. So I tried out the mod tools. They are brilliant on this software! A couple of clicks and you get the option to delete all their threads, posts, ban the ip etc all in one go. Fantastic!

    What was your last dream?

    It sounds like death by a thousand papercuts. Or some form of water torture. The sensations of having my head bitten by eight geese simultaneously was really quite strange!

    Is being controversial a 'thing'?

    The Pixel is supposed to prioritise form over function. I was very tempted to get one too. My current phones screen is smashed to pieces. About 30 or so cracks in the screen. It is still usable but lacks a certain aesthetic! I've been tempted with the Huawei phones, but their flagship model is...

    What was your last dream?

    I had the weirdest dream last night. I had eight geese around me all biting at my head. The experience felt very strange! I'm sure a psychologist would have a field day with that one.

    Torn between two lovers, feeling like a fool

    I was pondering on something the other day, and came to an insight I would like to share. It involves my hate of Apple products, yet also some kind of attachment too. The whole iSheep thing going on, where Apple fanboys blindly flatter everything they release riles me. It is as though someone...

    Is being controversial a 'thing'?

    Yes, I am a victim of this, with a £2,300 iMac sitting on my desk that is utterly un-upgradable.

    Is being controversial a 'thing'?

    That reminds me of light bulbs. If they make them so they don't fail, they put themselves out of business. Keep them crappy!

    How to Learn

    Uncle, I've watched that video before. He does lots of talks. It is a pet topic of mine, how to learn. I think it is a critical skill in today's fast paced world, where change is rapid and you have to re-engineer what you know. So little attention seems to be spent on the subject, yet that seems...

    Dry Spell

    I know from past experience, getting the funeral over is a big milestone. The run up to it filled me with dread. Hopefully you have some closer now and life can slowly get back to normal. I'm still getting over my own bug. It has whacked me for six. Heavy cold and now sinusitis. At least I...

    Hahaha, that had me chuckling to myself! Four parking spaces at once, my my! :ROFLMAO:

    Dry Spell

    My condolences, Doc. Sorry to hear about your loss. Take your time. You are always welcome here. 92+ years is an exception length of time to be alive. I only hope I make it that far. For myself, I have gone down with a bug. It is that time of year. I feel grotty, pumped full of paracetamol and...

    Dr. Jordan B Peterson - Professor and clinical psychologist

    Yes, you are right Uncle. I was being provocative with my comment as I was feeling mischievous! He opposes being compelled to say things that he does not want to say. Referring to someone as Zhe, or one of the other 100 pronouns is just silly! Do it if you want to, but to be forced? No thank you!
