I sincerely hope Fitzcarraldo send you three different options, and you get to have a really long conversation about which blue really pops.

I use my old Macbook with the screen time controls set to "absolutely nothing online, ever, not once, don't even try it," and my partner set the passcode. And it turns out she will *never* give up the code.

That's very kind, but in this house we believe students should buy books....

Thank you! Will investigate..

This is exactly it. Thanks Mat. Added bonus: now I get to suggest my student buys a book...

Mm-kay, this is exactly the kind of thing and I thank you for it

And in the meantime, please sign this petition:

! So amazing

I don't think anything after the word 'but' here is relevant to the people I saw being hit by cars.

Both of these incidents happened in the daytime, and everything after the word "but" isn't relevant to what happened here.

I mean, lashing out when you feel guilty and scared and ashamed is pretty standard human psychology. But it does seem to be getting worse, doesn't it? Maybe regular therapy should be a condition of having a driving license.

(if you're interested in fault then I'm pretty sure driving into someone on a zebra crossing is not okay
but basically if you drive a car it's 100% your responsibility to not drive that car into a living person made of soft skin and flesh who just wants to get home)

what is wrong with people, a continuing series

Phew!

Pardon me for asking but this train journey thread seems to have been going for 26 days now, and I like a sleeper compartment as much as the next guy but... are you okay?
