My memory is that my first USB stick had 128Mb of memory and cost and arm and a leg, in 2001, I think.

The Far Side used to be one of my favourite cartoons, but Gary Larsen’s return hasn’t really stuck with me.

I’m just not very good at spooky movies, can’t suspend disbelief for things I find it hard to believe in.
#mbnov

Keeping things minimal, I guess this will have to do.

Wear and tear is a concept that I like to embrace. My jeans, for example, are worn and torn in a way that directly reflects how and why I wear them, not a fashionista decree.

Say what?

I wish I could force m.b to look further back in my RSS feed and find yesterday’s microblogvember post.

I have enormous admiration for John F. Appleby, who in the 1870s perfected a machine that would tie a knot in twine, thus enabling a machine to bind sheaves of grain together and setting in motion the giant combine harvesters that enable our daily bread.

There is no way I can inflate my relief at the day’s events, or my gratitude to cyber-friends here on mb for their generosity of spirit.

Erk. I seem to have misplaced today’s #mbnov prompt.

Puzzling? This stuff writes itself, doesn't it. Not that I am going to let it, but the thought is definitely there. We've had near and anxious (ha; not anxious, astonish. Mr Freud, your slip is ready.) and stoop and now puzzling, and you still expect me to believe the choices are random?

Is the architectural stoop derived from the same word as step, and what exactly is it? Is it what I might call the front porch? Or is the little flight of steps leading up to the porch?

I have resisted the temptation to look at the news today, aside from scary hints in social media, and I am going to sleep. Perhaps tomorrow will bring actual information, reducing uncertainty.

The only thing that makes life bearable right now is that I am near the person who makes my life worth living. I can’t imagine surviving so much forced proximity with anyone else at all.

#mbnov

Whatever happens today is likely to astonish me.

I do remember orange juice made from concentrate and it seemed sensible; remove the water, ship, replace the water.

Not at all dreary the past few days. We had a great outing under warm, blue skies to stock up on culture. It may be a while before we can do that again. #mbnov

Sad to learn that James Randi, magician and stage artist devoted to debunking the paranormal, dies at 92 - The Washington Post https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/obituaries/james-randi-magician-and-stage-artist-devoted-to-deb...

I had the honour to know and work with the Amazing Randi for a while in the 1970s and 1980s, and it was always fun.

Started to install tailwindcss rather than rely on the full stylesheet via CDN, and all I can say is, "so far, so good". Forced by actual work to take it slowly, which is probably a good thing.

Delighted to learn that Subway bread in Ireland is cake, in the same way that Jaffa Cakes are cake, at least as far as VAT is concerned.
