Coin toss:

1. Heads or tails are 50/50 probability.
2. It is possible that the coin lands on its side.
3. It is implausible that it splits in two.

Glue the remote to your telly. You know where it is and get some exercise zapping channels.

MmmBop. I hated it the first time I heard it, I hate it now, and I only have to be reminded of it's existence and it will play in my head because it is so fucking catchy that somebody must have sacrificed the minimum of one newborn to some dark deity that thrives one human suffering.

I want it curled up and snoozing on my chest.

Nah. We still have the family computer that connects to the internet.

The family is pretty much just me and my dog though.

A civilization on a planet without a moon would probably say the same about earth. I wonder how they would imagine life on our planet to be in comparison to their sad, stable moon-less lives.

It was a mistake to leave the oceans in the first place.

Thinky boi is the CPU. GPU are also thinky but they are in parallel so plural. Thinky bois.

The mood light thing. Some televisions have adaptive lights that project colours of the screen on the wall behind. For me the telly is the window to another universe. I want to be immersed in the movie. I can maybe see the appeal if watching family entertainment and such but for me it's a nope.

Homebrewing. Either everything you need to get started and going for like €100. Spend the rest on tools and equipment and ingredients as you go and learn what you need and why you need it.

Or, as it seems to me is the middle aged man thing to do¹, buy everything for a complete microbrewery and insist it is absolutely necessary with the best of laboratory grade equipment for your first batch of IPA that will taste like anybody else's first batch of IPA and the only solution is to keep spending another €1000 when you got it on better equipment and gadgets and dodads and quirkmaflixers in magical materials and still nobody will be impressed but that's just because you didn't have the correct temperature to the third decimal and dear we absolutely need to take a small loan on the house no listen this is an investment when I get this going hey baby wait listen...

¹ I'm a middle aged man so I'm allowed to use these words.

I'm on the last generation of plasma still, waiting for OLED or micro-LED to become affordable. I love watching movies at night in a dark room with proper blacks on the screen. I don't understand why people would want lights behind their telly.

If you are comfortable with command line and want to learn the Swiss army knife of such uses for future scripting and whatnot - curl.

I'm on the fly right now but search for "curl crawl web pages" and you'll find.
