  • I'm feeling a profound sense of unease about the world. Reading about the bile and horribleness being unloaded on anyone who isn't a) caucasian, b) male, c) straight cis d) reasonably wealthy is enough to make me want to run screaming back to bed. So I did what (I think*) I always do - I bought another computer. Then felt a bit depressed that I didn't do something worthwhile with my money.
    * I might be wrong.

    @Snial - UBI would be fine...as long as it is "Universal" - meaning everyone gets it.

    That’s the idea, saves on all the welfare admin & can simplify tax too. Fixes the state pension crisis. Don’t know when we’ll see it though.

    Also, it frees people up to get education or work on passion projects. It ameliorates the coming storm of unemployment engendered by AI. I think fears that people will just become lazy are unfounded - but even if they aren’t, why should I care?

    Owner of more Macs than I care to think about. Proud owner of a fleet of bicycles (personal record distance - 325miles in one day). Adventure sportsman and retro enthusiast. You kind of have to feel sorry for my poor wife!

    I don’t know. It’s all just collecting. Computers. Bicycles. Trainers (sneakers). Event T-Shirts. Miles. Medals.

    I have quite the collection of cameras too - including film cameras that I still use. My favourites being a Nikon F, an F3 and a Hasselblad. But they never come on adventure sports with me - that’s the sole domain of my iPhone. (And I seem to have kept my old ones and their boxes too!)

    Impressive! I don't think I've ever cycled more than 50 miles in a single day. I've been accepted for a new job which involves 8 mi of cycling on the Work From Office days.

    I've done 80-90mi, mind you with a fully loaded bike with panniers. 325mi is just wild.
