Similarly, I could be the first (known) Jugallo in West Yorkshire. Who knows, we might spark a new trend!

Fascinating! Always love these backstories. The Ramones were brilliant - I don't have a favourite album but my most-watched DVD is The Ramones Story

Someone leaked this to POTUS and he based his whole strategy on it!

What strategy?

Getting rich, maintaining power, and staying in office.

I need to read more of that! What's the copyright on the files? I run a public-access gopher server with a small eBook section and that's the kind of material that I'd like to feature.


Could be interesting but how about telling me what I'm actually signing up for and what PII you want me to supply - before I click Sign In?


Well, all that leisure time, and no spare money to buy anything with! Should be interesting.


I watched in amazement as the price tickers for gold and silver shot off the screen and then crashed mightily a day later. What surprised even more was that Bitcoin decided to join in - something I'd normally expect to rise as gold and silver fell.


Haha! Me too! Based in the UK it's one the few ZIPs I know by heart . It's a great site though!

Also has a partial interface to my gopher server on the same machine:

"So, I took long walks with my dog.

What used to feel like 10 minutes between breakfast and lunch while working became a full-blown day. Even though I was spending two hours walking my dog instead of a 30-40 minute rush, it felt like an eternity"

My dog has a way of slowing down time, although he won't tell me how. I think as humans we know what we expect from this other species, but they have a way of reorganizing the walk to suit themselves. I do it largely to bond with my best bud and get some exercise. He on the other hand goes out to catch up on doggy social media, with endless sniffing and donating further smells. Every walk is different - the route's the same but the sensory part is constantly changing. All this takes place, silently. We go back home satisfied but I know my boi gets the most satisfaction from it!


this is a very cute anecdote, thank you. my parents have three dogs, so i've had similar thoughts. i believe they're just truly used to the dead space in a day. it makes sense once i think about it, but it feels so far away
