It's always 30 years. It's basically people pushing 40 (like myself) and wistfully reminiscing about when they didn't have adult responsibility

For self hosting, I would wonder about liability - if it's managed by a third party, and it lets someone in, it's their fault. If you host it and it lets someone in, it's your fault?

Art is someone trying to communicate with others - being content and connected means no more art

On the one hand, enlightenment would be awesome
On the other, individuals with varying passions and beliefs is what beautiful

Scientific advancement would utterly stagnate if researchers were just content all the time

Imho, such fines should be a large proportion of the money gained from the crime - make it so that crime doesn't pay

The "key in car" detector keeps not detecting my keys, so I personally would rather be able to have the old method

I don't get to listen to much new music, but "Golden" and "This is what it sounds like" from Kpop Demon Hunters are definite bangers IMHO

Ah, that helps explain why the new stuff is so hit and miss (and in many cases doesn't make sense)

Day 22/29 - Really good progress (though I thought it was a week, not 11 days)
Managed to complete the body motifs
Rest will be single colour - much simpler.

Also reached the £400 donation mark.

There are"roles" so you can "lose", but the point is to convince the viewers, and you don't need to win to do that

Also ones where they give you the clues and you can try to figure it out, rather than being dependent on something they hid from you until the reveal

So sad to read this, you were a joy to listen to, and your contributions will surely be missed by everyone

Day 11/18 - I had hoped that I would complete the pillar motifs in under a week - it took me 6 days.

Seems I'm pretty good with estimates.

After a couple more spacer rows it's time to divide the body/arms.

I remember he summarised it as "everything should be legal, as long as it doesn't cause harm to other people"

But libertarians generally don't include that second part

My computer is allegedly too old to update, and I can't afford to update the hardware, so I don't have a choice in the matter
