I have played Rise of Patriots to death. It is a RTS (real time strategy) game. Build armies and tech. The game itself is over 15 years old and for the PC, but the gameplay is timeless. However, since I have played it for hundreds of hours, it has lost its edge on me now so only revisit...

Just came across a good term today: "Minimum viable action." When feeling resistance to doing something, just take the minimum viable action. Helps you get going.

I watched "12 Strong" last night. True story about a team of 12 men going into Afghanistan, making deals with warlords and so on. Absolute chaos out there, risking life and limb. The feminists must be insulted that no female lives were put at risk. I blame the patriarchy.

I just came across a great image for you guys. It is about "number of books read and perspective!

Ok, so I am here at Esquires. Having a handheld pizza and coke. Will follow up with cappuccino and cake!

You are right Bee. Clearly, I am not altogether 100% yet! Re-edited.

Doc, I had a big typo there. Meant to say: "What happens if the person is biologically 15 but mentally a 20 year old."

Getting rid of stuff can be an endless thing. I gotta clear out my parents house which is bursting at the seams! Today, I will be trying out a new coffee shop in Tunbridge Wells called "Esquires". A guy I chat to in my local Costa told me about it. It opened about a month ago. The serving...

Let us know the latest movie you have seen, what you thought and if you recommend it.

You get the offer, and then write them a "Dear John" letter.

Why do you believe £10-£12K is more likely?

I suppose it elevates you to a kind of different perspective. You are seeing things from "up-there", rather than "down-here." Nothing around your immediate environment except space.

I suppose it also depends on what the offer is. Presumably, you have an idea of the salary range but you don't know where in that range the offer will be?

Good to see you back here Lez. Pleased you enjoyed your hols! I've often wondered what it was like doing a zip lining thingy. Did you feel safe doing it once you got going? I know when I did abseiling off a rock edge, going over is terrifying the first time. Goes against every bone in your body...

Mine was in Vegas 3 years ago. It was actually a working conference, where I studied the "Amazon FBA ecommerce model." In layman's terms, flogging stuff on Amazon, private labelling your own brand. It was the hottest place I've ever been to, with temperatures of 44C (110F). They had a heatwave...

Considering the Ebbinghaus "forgetting curve", when you revisit, you also further cement the information into your memory.

Bee, what are your current thoughts about the job you were headhunted for? Have you evolved your thinking in anyway since this conversation was first crowdsourced?

I found this today which is a table showing what percentage of people believe in various aspects of the paranormal. Thought some of you might find it interesting, as it gives a yardstick on public perception. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paranormal#Paranormal_subjects

First day to leave the house in six. Felt a bit wobbly on my feet, but good to get amongst people again. Was exhausted after doing some mild shopping, but then plonked myself down in my local coffee shop, armed with laptop, phone, cappuccino and millionaire shortbread. I'm on the up! And hence I...

Getting traction is a very difficult thing. The core members we have here seem to really enjoy the interaction. But getting strangers to pull up a stool at The Mind Tavern is not easy.
