If they get used it is obviously really going to be a bad time for all but one thing in their favour is that the prevailing wind goes from west to east.

That every store wants you to sign up and have you give them your details.
When I bought a shirt in a department store a couple of years ago and the guy wanted me to give him my email address “to save paper” (yeah right), rather than give me a receipt. It was like we were having a stand off for a while there. I just want to buy a shirt not sign up for ongoing spam!

Reminds me of a tiny Verbatim USB A one I had on my key ring for ages. https://www.storagereview.com/review/verbatim-tuff-n-tiny-usb-drive-review?amp

Had a friend who worked in a pizza store have someone order at pizza with chilli as an ingredient, “how hot do you want it?”, customer said “11/10”. They were very generous with the chilli flakes. Customer then called back to complain it was too hot!

The Matrix

True but would you prefer weak enforcement or strong enforcement?
Strong enforcement would likely involve the government having better records of your browsing habits.

Since Leisure Suit Larry at least. ;) Since alcohol sales were restricted to adults? Since… ?

Good to see it as a chart but that is different to the results it returns

Brush excess fuzz off with my hand, remove the ends and eat with skin on.

Even for the people who like to regularly gamble, I don’t see why they would particularly want to be reminded to gamble?

For microwaves with paused cooking time left on them, after 5 minutes it should wipe and go back to the clock.

• 3D eye mask
• in ear noise cancelling headphones
• zip up travel hoodie

Most long haul flight have seats with decent head rests but for shorter flights I want to sleep on, I use a soft cervical collar. More comfortable without it on but it means you don’t wake up with your head in a weird position and sore neck.

3D eye masks mean your eye lashes aren’t brushing against the eye mask.

I prefer in ear headphones as it means you can rest your head against the window or whatever, it is more comfortable and you don’t get buzzing from the plane being carried through.

I got a great travel hoodie that has heaps of pockets, some on the inside, a big hood with a fold down flap for extra darkness, ensures a comfortable temperature etc.

For shorter trips I’d recommend a moisture wicking long sleeve top to help keep you at a comfortable temperature but not take up space in your bag.

Edit: The hoodie I got years ago and still have was a Burton Sleeper Hoodie, sadly it seems they have stopped making them?

Cold dirty leaf water

I’ve had and have a number of pairs of Vans and a number of pairs of Etnies, after about a half hour walk my feet will be sore in the Vans but not the Etnies

And the w…list?

Indeed, reminds me of the ones that give you a “power wash [for] your intestines”:
