Always see the positive.

Love that game! Mate had anST with Dungeon Master, was not on my Amiga, so Eye of the Beholder was some recompense. Heat thing effects me for health reasons but I don’t begrudge it and still look forward to the sense of well-being it brings.

Absolutely, 3 is likely a low ratio tbh! We love the sun here.

Eye of the beholder stuff, some medical conditions would beg to differ!

He seems ideal then, as we have clearly passed our sell by date also

Mine started to fall out early 20s, seeing the back of your head through your rapidly thinning hair in the work bogs was galling.but... Shaved it, never looked back, but aware that if you have a pin head it may not be a great look, but thankfully I have a head the size of a medicine ball.

Yes, agree as a species have an incomparable capability to forcefully influence our environment more so than any other species on this planet. Although if we consider this in a purely evolutionary sense for a moment, there is no doubt we are just another species, and any higher purpose or superiority we assign ourselves is exactly that, self defined and means little beyond the observations, boundaries, tools and records we ourselves make. Our import on the planet should be defined as, as this self proclaimed power, how we perform as custodians of the planet and those within it, not who we manipulate for our own ends. Despite the potential negative tone of my posts, I am painfully positive and believe we are quite capable of saving ourselves, this planet and all upon it and doing so as ants not lone carnivores.

Not so sure, as there is no purpose in the land, nor in us beyond what we ourselves decide, that in itself being somewhat of a vain conceit, so stating a preference is irrelevant. Better to use our self importance to pursue a path that benefits the all, land and all upon it, rather than to squabble like children in the belief our import would somehow render us immune from the consequences of our own actions. Understand the argument that we defend to continue, but are we not seeking to protect those who fail to protect us, instead of seeking to alleviate the consequences? (They failed to protect us from)

Write to MP - check Forgo some holidays/materialistic things to make domestic environmental improvements - check Make ethical choices wherever possible - check Get family life on an ethical footing and mindset - check Clearly not enough, but I am sure it will feel good to list these things whilst fighting 45 degree heat Celsius ) during the end days

Direction of travel is important also I assume, and I do not agree with it for 1 second, but it seems obvious this would occur. (Its always important to try and recognise all points of view in my opinion, even when they are abhorrent) Would far rather all resources were put towards ensuring we do everything we can to head of the climate crisis, here and abroad, and maximise the standard of living everywhere we can. But politics has become a polarising popularist sh*t show, where facts and greater good are an inconvenience, I see little hope in much that we witnessing.

Yes for the average joe, but not convinced it would create as much growth, and in this climate I am unsure any Government could survive not bolstering the military.

A push to reinforce the armed forces is like any infrastructure investment, a creator of jobs and a creator of growth, and against the current climate, warranted or not, it’s a vote winner. Yes, ideally we put it in the bin and invest elsewhere, but investment is investment.

So, so many times I believed it was thus.

Turned into HMS Piss It’s Pants it seems….

A small oasis of positivity It neither lessens or cheapens the past ‘issues’ it just embraces a potential future that may not be totally negative.

Looks like a Brexit vote, and we know how that went.

Would argue that our confidence in democracy has not yet been challenged to the same degree as in the US.

Had a dyson for years but it finally gave up the ghost, so got a Shark, both pedestal and table top (cordless then, fan slips off the pedestal ) and has a mister to spray you water (for outside use) Pretty happy with tbh

Following up on the house batteries install, it is looking well worth it, electricity numbers for this week very good KWH is very similar to pre batteries, cost is a fraction compared

One of the most unashamed terrifying things for the future of human agency I have ever read.

The point about being asset rich vs earnt wealth is valid I think. Assets should suffer wealth capture at a higher rate than earnt wealth for many reasons. One of which is to incentivise work. In terms of the article, fair enough, not the sort of wealth we want really.

Probably.

Think that is just incendiary journalism in part, and possibly detracts from a serious story, no matter how any individual perceives it.

Why? You say you understand people should have the option, but are negative towards opening this capability as a positive, even celebratory for some.. Aren’t those two things at odds?

Yes, as other have said, just get yourself checked out. Likely be a weight of your mind whatever the doctor says.
