I had a thought about teleporter technology. To work ‘safely’, you’d have to be reduced to a digital format in order for the ‘bits’ to be teleported. This means they need a copy of you inside the teleporter before they can ‘send’ you so that if it goes wrong they can recreate you. Obviously, if … More Off topic much? Wildly yes!!
No, not expand my girth, but the posts I add. Initially, the blog was intended as a place to vent about everything I disliked about society in general, and what currently grinds my gears. However, since I restarted posting I’ve focussed almost entirely on my attempt to finally address my weight issues and become a … More Should I expand?
I lead a quite sedentary life. I sit at the computer most of the day because my hips and back can’t cope with the weight they carry and I really can’t walk far. Even at home when I try to do housework I can only move around for five to ten minutes before I have … More And now for a little exercise.
It’s been a real up-and-down week with a few highs, but maybe more lows. The Ozempic is doing its job but for various reasons, most of which I don’t understand, I’ve been feeling really unwell and even so dizzy I fell down! Didn’t do any permanent damage, i.e. no broken bones, but it really shook … More Just a few things to say
Yet again I wrote several magnificent blog posts… in my sleep… and forgot them entirely when I woke up. I hear some people, musicians and novelists particularly, seem able to wake themselves up, make notes, and go back to sleep again so that when they wake properly they have a notion of what it was … More Damn… forgot again!!
It’s sad to say this, but it’s time for the Australian Opinion forum to go the way of all obsolete sites. There is so much wrong with it, and so few people there, it’s really become an anachronism. I suppose if it had a distinct purpose, e.g. following a specific game or genre, it might … More Goodbye AO. 😦
I got an offer from the Audible “talking book” people offering a large reduction in first year payments if I sign up again. Can’t say I’m too eager to join because I just don’t seem to have a lot of time to read. I’ve been playing MMORPG’s like World of Warcraft and Rift lately which … More ‘Thinking of Audible… again.
In the midst of all the other local woes, let’s not forget the battle against the Covid virus still being fought around the world with possibly the worst being felt in the USA. With 30,565,742 *known* cases, and deaths standing around 555,843, and an unknown number of each remaining so far undocumented, it’s been a … More And back to Covid USA
Worst floods for 60 years in the Sydney area. Warragamba spillways releasing masses of water into the Nepean. Windsor bridge under water. Penrith in danger of floods. Suburbs under metres of water. And looks like there’s more on the way for the next few days at least. We’re safe enough here because we live in … More … and even wetter!
The worst weather Sydney has seen in ten or more years (since 1964 in some areas) has resulted in a widespread request from the government to stay indoors unless travel is absolutely necessary. Following on top of the Covid restrictions this isn;t such an onerous request as it might have been prior to the virus … More Pouring… still
