For anyone missing the reference, this is a Sontaran from Dr Who:
I think I must use them wrong.
My categories are mostly used to organise by where they're installed - so Desktop, Laptop, Steam Deck Internal, Steam Deck SD Card 1, SD Card 2 etc. If I want to play that game, where's it already installed?
The only category that relates to the games content is "wheel games" which is driving games that work well with wheel/pedals/gearstick.
Very similar aims to Elon Musk? But isn't that this guy?:

It's a good start. Maybe they could also look at people who "have very similar aims"

In the American special forces branch of the Navy, you receive extra Sausages, Eggs And Lard (S.E.A.L) in your rations, so these people are called "Seals".
Obviously, after a few years of eating so much extra greasy food, they're no longer capable of participating in military operations, so tend to retire and write books about what they did at work.
I think that's correct anyway - don't quote me on it.
Of course, I come from the honourable line of the great family of Pretendname blah blah history books, 1066, Norman Conquest you know.
Of course, it's pronounced "Pretnam".

Option d) someone needed searches for "illegal" and "Badenoch" to point at something not related to Tory leader Kemi Badenoch.
[Edit] Like those weird "news" articles from a few years ago about Boris Johnson's hobby being "painting model buses", to deflect from other Boris/Bus related news.
That's called a "clacker" where I come from.
[Edit] That might be a really local dialect term that nobody else understands.
Because of the size difference between humans and tardigrades, it's hard for tardigrades to attend music lessons and otherwise learn about human musical instruments, so give him a chance, he's probably trying his best.
Is that Iain Lee, the comedian/TV presenter from about 20 years ago?

Haha, that's pretty much how I felt about it :)
A bloke in the pub last week was telling everyone that Musk had, since his daughter's transition, gradually got into "raping and choking trans prostitutes" and "screaming at them and calling them sissies", and he'd accidentally killed one (or two?) by strangulation, and this was what Putin had evidence/video footage of, which he was using for blackmail.
Obviously "a bloke in the pub" isn't exactly the most reliable of news sources - and I can't (currently) find any other mention of this anywhere at all, so I think it's a little questionable... but not impossible.
That might be a bit tricky - perhaps he could simply distance himself from both dry land and boats, by "Maxwelling" himself into the sea?
Sadly there currently only appears to be purchasable closed source blueprints, or fairly vague historical instructions.

It is often traditionally considered to be an achievement in Britain, yes.
Ideally you don't get drunk though - you should be able to drink as much alcohol as possible, whilst showing as few effects as possible, for some reason. If you become drunk after too few alcoholic drinks, you "can't handle your drink" and you are a "lightweight". These are both negative characteristics in a person.
I'm not saying I necessarily agree with this, I'm just saying it exists :)
Yeah, I'd like to actually know, rather than just guess. I always felt it might merely be a case of "it's the sort of thing liked by the type of people we don't like".
To be fair, I'm doing exactly the same thing back at them.
"Shock and surprise as Tory riots, with people chanting Tory slogans as they smashed up the city centre, found to be connected to Tories"
It might take quite a bit of wondering to work out specifically who, but I think you can gather the general gist of whose agenda they're promoting without too much wondering :)
"National Black Cat Day was created by Cats Protection on 27 October 2011 to help celebrate the majesty of monochrome moggies and beautiful black cats. When the campaign was launched, statistics revealed that black and black-and-white cats took, on average, seven days longer to find a home compared to cats of other colours."

If Michael Gove really wants to root out the forces threatening British society, perhaps his party should look in the mirror, says Guardian columnist Rafael Behr
"If Michael Gove really wants to root out the forces threatening British society, perhaps his party should look in the mirror"
There's a man on my train this morning, and he's listening to stuff out loud on his phone, like fully out loud, not even slightly subtle. The train is in Britain. He keeps listening to 5 seconds of an annoying song, then switching to another song. It sort of sounds like kids TV music. He appears dressed to go work in a fancy office or something, and this is a morning commuter train, so I don't think he's escaped from a prison or mental hospital.
Anyway, amongst myself and another couple of hundred quiet passengers, we've tried everything:
- tutting and rolling our eyes
- harrumphing, whingeing and sighing
- when a bloke got on the train with headphones on, someone said loudly "Isn't it great when someone wears headphones? They can listen to whatever they like and nobody else has to hear it"
- sometimes it stops for a minute, and there's a widespread muttering of "Ooh, thank god that's over with"
- followed by an en-masse groan when it starts again "Oh no, not this again!"
- a lady on the phone saying loudly "Sorry, I can't hear what you're saying, because someone is being inconsiderate and playing music really loudly"
- saying to one another, loudly enough for the man to hear "isn't it annoying when someone plays their music out loud? I wish he'd stop doing that"
- muttering aggressive words, under our breath, in his general direction "prick", "wanker" "knobhead", "bellend"
- Someone getting onto the train, and not sitting at his table and saying "God, I'd rather stand than sit next to that prick", loud enough for him to hear.
- the ticket-checking man rolled his eyes, but didn't do anything
I think generally we're running out of ideas. I heard someone behind me mentioning they were thinking about "sparking him out", and someone else had suggested they might grab his phone and throw it out the window.
I was toying with the idea of going nuclear on him, and directly but politely asking him to turn it down, but it's a bit early for that kind of extreme behaviour. Perhaps I should throw something at his head?
Anyway, anyone who's been in a similar situation have any suggestions?
[Update] The train got full, so people were standing all the way down the aisle. Three people sat on the table next to him.
Opposite him, an older woman stared at him and shook her head at him, in a gesture I interpreted as "I'm not angry, I'm just disappointed". He put his phone in his pocket and stared out the window. I gave her the subtlest of nods, to communicate "thank you" and "good job".
So we're safe, this time - but I'm still interested in solutions, as something like this could happen again!
My son says it means taking out the player without getting the ball, all while shouting ‘Brexit means Brexit’, says teacher Lola Okolosie
> My son says it means taking out the player without getting the ball, all while shouting ‘Brexit means Brexit’. Sound familiar?
> For the umpteenth time, my son, with an Ikea stuffed ball he has had since infancy, is playing football in the living room. He is joined by one of his best friends, an equally football-obsessed 10-year-old who, before slide-tackling in what can only be described as a deliberate attempt to knock my son’s legs off, shouts: “Brexit means Brexit!” Confused, I pass it off as an example of tweenage precocity: which 10-year-old is happy to quote Theresa May while playing football?
I must admit, this gives me some hope for the future.

Saw him sing/speak/make noise at a 2 hour long improv set in a small gig venue in Yorkshire about 10-20 years ago, supported by a handful of local improv musicians.
After they finished the set, he individually thanked (and optionally hugged) every single audience member.

I include a complementary picture of a black cat in a carrier bag.
Three cats spread over the stairs, staring at the camera person, blocking access to the upstairs. (Actually they're just waiting for someone to throw the fuzzy ball for them to chase).
Photo is from about a year ago, when the cats learnt that as well as "on the bed" and "under the duvet", if you explored the area where the buttons were, there was also "inside the duvet cover".
Three cat brothers, sat neatly on a staircase, Jan 2023. This is probably my favourite photo of the three of them together.
