  • Honestly I thought the finale was good. Great? No.

    Thinking back on the show I remember it positively. I don’t think I’ll ever be massively eager to rewatch it ever again, but if someone asked me if they should watch it I would say sure give it a go.

    It wasn’t a catastrophic ending like Game of Thrones was. That is a show I wouldn’t even bother to sit down and watch knowing how it ended.




  • This reminds me of one night where a group of friends went out drinking. Just before we were going to leave the pub to go to one further down the road one friend said he needed to take a piss. It triggered something in a bunch of us as most of us realised we needed to go.

    The toilets were really busy; that situation where you’re pissing in what is basically a trough with your elbows touching the elbows of other guys next to you. Immediately on trying to go it just wasn’t happening. I stood awkwardly for about a minute, zipped up, washed my hands and went outside.

    Everyone gathered round and we started walking. We were walking in silence for about a minute when one guy said “Did anyone else manage to actually pee?” To which loads of us burst out laughing. Turns out we all did the same thing, even though we needed to pee, we all failed to do so.










  • Been on it for about 7 months now. I started taking it as I noticed thinning at the front, the crown was already thinning, but I can’t see it so I don’t care. I feel happier in my hair, I have less than I did when I was in my 20’s but it has stopped the loss and allowed for some recovery.

    I really had to think hard about going on it. My family has a history of depression, and I’ve been able to escape it. My biggest worry is that it would trigger some kind of depression. I’ve not had any issues in this area thankfully!

    My willy still functions perfectly too, so I’m not aware of any side effects, and I’ve seen hair retention and regrowth. The first couple of months I did experience some shedding, but it wasn’t bad. It’s satisfying seeing some little sprouts of hair reappear.


  • Windows can add some complications as a dev, especially in the corporate environment when really strict group policies are implemented that stop Devs from installing or configuring systems as they need.

    One company I worked at remained on Windows LTSC for security reasons, and a lot of Devs that were working with Java hit a snag if for whatever reason an IDE they were using really wanted a system environment variable configured a certain way and it would straight up ignore user environment variables. They would be restricted from basically being able to configure anything without getting IT to remote on and make the changes for them.

    I was forced to use a Mac for the first time years ago for work, I still hate working on a Mac but I can’t deny how much more flexible it can be compared to working in a Windows environment that is locked down.
