Obligatory link - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seal_finger

Don't let a Seal bite you.

"Seal finger was first described scientifically in 1907. It can cause cellulitis, joint inflammation, and swelling of the bone marrow; untreated, the course of "seal finger" is slow and often results in a thickened, contracted joint. Historically, seal finger was treated by amputation of the affected digits once they became unusable...."

1 - 100% chance of a metallic taste, that lingers after use. 3 as well probably.

4 is the only practical option, just need to use it with your left hand.

I did return to my old flac and mp3 collection. Got Foobar working again, found a nice skin and I'm rediscovering music that I that skipped over. I buy second-hand CDs when I find them. I've managed to get a digital copy of all my favourite albums and tracks.

I will keep Spotify though. A long time ago, I got friends to share their Discovery and Release Radar playlists. With my own, I have a nice spread of recommendations.

I need regular new music. Call it a search for unexpected dopamine. Spotify still picks new tracks that I really like. I also like Spotify Connect and the easily shared collaborative playlists.

The UK has less alternatives for music discovery. I don't like Radio, way too much talking and ads.

I've got rid of Netflix, Prime. I'm getting Disney+ for free at the moment. Back to physical for film and TV.

For now, Spotify recommendations is worth the cost of entry.

It's not something I'd normally watch. Enough depressing things going on in the real world, without mixing in fiction.

However, I did binge it all in one session. Great acting. But the whole thing was a brutal experience.

Aside from the main story line, reminded me of how horrible school can be. I sometimes wake up in the mornings and think: "Yes, I get to go to work, and not school!"

So if you really enjoy a good misery drama (and that's not me being judgemental, I just can't think of a better way of classifying it.) Then I'd recommended it.

If you read the Government doc linked near the top of the Guardian article, you find this little gem:

"A further one billion litres a day will also be needed to generate energy, grow our food, and power emerging technologies."

Basically things will be worse because a load of water is going to be consumed by AI data centers.

It's Jamiroquai.

This video is for: "Virtual Insanity".

The video to : "Automaton" is also worth a watch in my opinion.
