If your SO thinks it’s a joke, then I think the very first thing you need to do is consider whether you’re 100% serious about it or not. And then you need to discuss it with them as a serious topic, so they know you’re not kidding. And then take it from there based on whatever they say, bearing in mind that they may be 100% against it.

Also agree with the comment about potentially having to move back closer to family in future, if health situations deteriorate.

None of which is to say don’t do it. But it’s a major life change, so lots to consider.

Your desire to unite over how to divide isn’t shared by everyone though, so we’re divided over whether to unite to divide 😁

That’s a great call, very similar:

If you had tolde “Lover you should’ve come over” was also a Prince song, I’d 100% have believed it.

Did anyone think racism was a solved problem?

Wow, I think you’re right, I hadn’t even thought of that. Probably saved his life. Blimey.

If you like long, human-made, interesting but also a bit leftfield documentaries, you could do a lot worse than Jon Bois.

Example - a four part series about the history of the telegraph, told through an extended metaphor involving the two main characters in 90s sitcom, Home Improvement.

Highly recommended, as is his other stuff. He has a couple of deep dives into the weird histories of the Atlanta Falcons and the Minnesota Vikings that are also well worth watching

Amazing. There’s a single frame in which you can actually see the missile just above the road. He was incredibly lucky.

Sadly not! 😁

if zombies don’t need to breathe, can they just walk under the sea to an island?

I wonder what happens if a shark takes a bite out of a zombie? Does the shark become a zombie? Or does the zombie become a shark?

My client conversations are spread across different messaging platforms, and sometimes important or more detailed discussions just get buried or overlooked.

Yep, I have exactly this problem too. Instructions/feedback are spread across Teams messages, phone calls, video calls, and email, between and across multiple clients.

To bring it all together we tried using Trello - and now instructions/feedback are spread across Teams messages, phone calls, video calls, email and Trello.

It’s basically XKCDMultipleStandards.jpg ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This sounds fascinating, thanks for sharing. Will definitely try to read Swastika Night (even though I’ve spoiled it for myself by reading the Wikipedia entry!)

Also, in looking for info about this book, I discovered one called We, by Yevgeny Zamyatin which sounds very interesting too.

That’s fair enough. Everyone likes different things I guess. All I can say is that when I came out of the cinema having seen TLJ, I was utterly disappointed. When I came out of seeing TRoS, I was bouncing like a kid on Christmas, it made me happy.

For some reason I just really enjoy it, whereas I hated TLJ and all the prequels. Others disagree, that’s cool too :-)

Apparently so!

Monarchy. Although I don’t secretly think that.

Yeah, it was a slog. If he would just STFU once in a while, it would be more bearable, but it’s nonstop. Ugh.

Poor Calvin - such big feelings :-(

Definitely Grover. I had a brilliant Grover book as a kid, called The Monster at the End of This Book, and I’ve always loved that blue rascal ever since 😁

Almost didn’t watch this, because I feel like they have sometimes been beating a dead horse with Star Wars. However this was a lot of fun.

And - bonus! No stopping every couple of minutes to watch someone doing impressions - just people being genuinely funny and spontaneous.
