I thought I'd check out the winter olympics by watching some ski jumping. Then I ended up watching the bobsleigh, downhill, freestyle skiing and luge as well. It's a slippery slope.

Blimey. Well done, kid

Quick question... I've been trying to fix a knackered old Dell laptop for my neighbour's 13 year old daughter. It was obviously important that it looks good. But I've just spoken to a friend who gave me a Mac laptop for work (that's finished) which will obviously be way cooler (and I don't use it apart from for rolling joints). So he's happy for me to give her the Mac, but it's a UK QWERTY keyboard. Is there any way to change to a French AZERTY keyboard expediently? She'll be really chuffed if we can do this. Paging @npub1ulc4...x3hg Boosts much appreciated!

Yum!

Just took the dog out. It was a beautiful starry night and I was enjoying not being anxious about everything for a change when I saw a wonderfully bright meteorite right over my head going east to west. It was quickly followed by another one on the same axis further towards the horizon. I assume they were part of the same cosmic debris and I've never seen anything quite like it.
