But "pay phones" are still used in Australia (though they are now free!), & we still use the phone book, the dictionary & turntables (record players).

Haven’t seen this get shared yet in the Rob Reiner appreciation:
The Princess Bride home movie, made by a raft of Hollywood types during lockdown. If you haven’t seen now’s a good time to fix that.
Or just skip to 1:06 and see Rob doing the final scene, with his dad. 😭

In New Zealand one starts receiving superannuation payments when one becomes 65, regardless of one's income.
I will start seriously considering my future employment at that time, though I will most likely still be employed when it happens.

Some people are very good at writing sex and some people are good at believing that they are good at writing sex, the first is a tremendously impressive skill and the second is what makes for deeply uncomfortable author presentations at science fiction conventions
There's nothing wrong with literary porn, but some of the crap those guys wrote was "Have you actuallly ever HAD sex?"

Discovered today I actually had _five_ non-, or poorly functional, clothes dryers in the garage. I thought I only had three.
Luckily the friends who brought their trailer over could fit all five on board, and when they were taken to the tip, the tip people actually gave them money for them!
