I used to play keyboards, but very badly. I had an Ensoniq ESQ1 synth, and then a Korg M1 later on. I'm good at maths but rubbish at music, although the two are supposed to be heavily linked regarding ability. I'm definitely with you on the night owl thing. I struggle getting to bed early. In...

Do you mean late-night snacking means you need to pee in the night a lot?

Good idea Doc, although after doing a ton of research I think I already have my answer. It might be a bit of overkill, but I can see many uses for it. Plus, I can knock off the VAT and personal income tax that would be lost should I take the money as income instead. Makes a big difference to the...

Better things to do with your time.

One of my reps on SuperMemo is that if someone is not being reasonable in a debate, there is no point in wasting time arguing.

A snake glugs a buffalo in one go. Then has time for calm afterwards.

I've just thought of something comical. Those 2 you mentioned are in court, wrongly accused of sexual assault. They are asked if the accuser is telling the truth. Both nod, saying the accuser must be believed. Stupid!!

Someone should ask what should happen if they were accused of assault.

One step back, two steps forward. No pain, no gain. Maybe you need to increase the amount you sleep.

Your 2 FB friends are advocating jailing innocent people. Wait, I got that wrong. They were not innocent in the first place because the women came forward with allegations! QED.

This is the most stupid thing I have heard since the last stupid thing I have heard on this topic. Let us examine the consequences. 1. Person A alleges sexual assault from Person B. Person A must be believed. Person B is therefore guilty and goes straight to prison. No trial required. Just...

So lucky! You must sleep very deeply.

Insomnia is the bane of many peoples existence, including mine. I wake up multiple times during the night. Probably doesn't help that the cat jumps on the bed about 4 times a night, meowing and wanting attention. Anyone hear afflicted with this most torturous of conditions?

I wasn't quite sure where to post this, but consider when you get up to be a mental thing. Throughout my life, I have struggled to get out of bed. Am I lazy or just have a bodyclock offset to the stars? My theory about different getting-up-times is that back in the day, someone had to stay...

On the Playstation 3, I am a bit addicted to Fight Night 4. Can't beat a good boxing game! I have considered getting Fifa 19 and the PS4, but the trouble is that if I buy one, my work will suffer!

Progress is progress! There are many different styles of play in soccer. The most popular used to be what they called 4-4-2, where you had 4 defenders, 4 midfielders and 2 strikers. But nowadays, there are all sorts of formation. For example, Barcelona play tiki taka style football, where there...

Bit techie, but I am looking at buying one. Contemplating a Synology DS918+. Anyone here used a NAS drive before?

“Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.” -Dr. Seuss

"What distinguishes the foolish and the intelligent is the foolish consistently commits the same stupidities, while the intelligent always find new ones." - unknown.

I notice Moneyball was mentioned in another thread. I loved that movie! I read the book too. The concept of just using stats to improve outcomes really appealed to me. It seemed like low hanging fruit and a real competitive advantage. It seems to have filtered into all sorts of other sports now...
