Nuggets of Truth

Running Deer, I would need the rock to break into the hardware store to grab a roll of tape. But does remind us to have seemingly not important hardware basics around in house and car.

Here’s a hack for siphoning, to keep whatever liquid away from your mouth. He uses a second tube that he blows into, to pressurize the primary vessel and get things siphoning.

Needs to get an effective seal on the primary vessel. He says that sometimes wetting the rags will help, and obviously this points to further ways of sealing.

What a great idea, reminds me a bit of the old 3 lane A-roads we used to have in the UK for overtaking.

I couldn’t believe what was lurking below a surface car park in Stoke On Trent. Hidden from public view, covered up with tarmac (oh and a warehouse) in the 1970’s. Makes you wonder what else is hidden underground . . .

Note: Sorry, just couldn't embed, but well worth clicking on the link imo.

Ultra Realistic Masks

Videos of similar lifelike masks have been posted before but they're now integrating such that they move naturally when the wearer speaks and are becoming indistinguishable, together with other body parts. And these are just the ones we're aware of, not the improved versions. Given Derren Brown's demonstrations of programming, Manchurian Candidate or Donald Trump anyone ?

Leaving this here. What a shocking fact!

I found that figure shocking Mark and put it to my son, who's been a gamer since he was a teenager and is now 38. He reckons it would probably be even more hours for "Fortnite". But imo the worst aspect is the forged and cemented neuro pathway.

Big deal. I did that playing pinball in the 70s.

At the social club I used to frequent in my late teens and early twenties, every table was full of old men playing cards, mainly cribbage; they played dominoes also, draughts, and chess. There were a pair of snooker tables in there too. They did a roaring trade. The thump of darts hitting the dartboard sounded all night long, and the clatter of skittles in the alley.

'Gaming' isn't new. We humans spend an inordinate amount of our time in games and recreation. We have for centuries. And so long as it doesn't dominate your reality, I think it's quite okay.

[grapevine]

lol - you must be a gamer too

It's not the gaming that's an issue, Mark, especially in a social setting like a pub with lots of company. It's often anti-social people playing these war games alone in a bedroom.

I think future generations will be born with text-ready fingers.
