    TNG is"my" star trek, I watched it religiously when it first came out and even now the music has a curious feeling of comfort and safety about it.

    I watched series 1 of Picard, it was okay. Started on 2 and stopped as soon as Q arrived, never liked those episodes of TNG either.

    Just started on series 3, enjoying it so far

    What part of this don't you understand? If two turbines is good, and three turbines is better, obviously five turbines would make us the best fucking wind platform that ever existed. Comprende? We didn't claw our way to the top of the wind platform game by clinging to the two-turbine industry standard. We got here by taking chances. Well, five turbines is the biggest chance of all.

    I did some hip thrusts in the gym, thought it might be easier/more comfy to use a power bag instead of a barbell so I did that.

    It probably was comfier, but what I didn't take into account is that the bag rests on your groin and it looks very much like you're just lying in the gym humping a big pillow.

    Stick to the barbell!

    I work in consultancy and have a dream of forming a small elite company of consultants, employee owned, just 10 or so people who are shit hot at their jobs.

    I would plan for it to always be 10 people, deliberately no growth. Do the job well, take a good wage, have some parties.

    It's when companies look for massive growth and shareholder value that everything starts to go to shit.

    I'm 48, my parents absolutely grew up through rationing which lasted into the 1950s. Plain boiled potatoes was a really common way of serving them all through my childhood. Even now they will commonly eat plain potatoes, with a bit of butter on them. In fact as they have got older, now in their 80s, their meal might just be plain potatoes and peas.

    This dish, mince and tatties, was an absolute staple at my Scottish grannie's house, with an overboiled cabbage as well for good measure.

    Does anyone else find that 4G+ on O2 is awful?

    I'm not 5G enabled yet so theoretically 4G+ should be my fastest connection speed. However, on O2 I find that it's effectively the same as having no connection at all, and often end up shifting down to 3G just to get some connection. This can't be right, I feel like I've forgotten a setting or something! Has anyone managed to figure it out, or maybe first does anyone else have the same issue?

    Accident on motorway - what's the protocol?

    I was driving round the M25 and there was an accident in front of me, I could still get round so I slowed down, put hazards on but drove past and carried on my way. What's the actual protocol in those situations? I could see all the airbags were deployed, there's nothing I could do for the people inside and for sure getting out on a motorway is a bad idea. But I feel like I should have done _something_ different. Can anyone with knowledge enlighten me?

    My son asked me if I would play league of legends with him, so tried it for the first time. So much going on! Firstly, how does anyone zero in on what hero they want to play, there are so many of them! I feel like it would take a year just to play enough to decide. Secondly, the purchase UI seems to have been designed to ensure that a new player can never understand it. I'm sure like all things it becomes clear over time but jeez, did a professional team really work on that thing? Anyway, 2 defeats from 2 games so far, I write to you from the lobby waiting for the third!

    Playing engineer, ranking more slowly

    I started playing at the weekend with my teenagers, we've agreed to only play DRG when we're together so no-one goes off ranking up too fast which is what happened when we played Valorant. We've selected classes somewhat randomly, I'm playing engineer, they are driller and gunner. After about 3 or 4 missions they've got to rank 4 and I'm still on 3. I feel like they're getting more kills because they have more killy weapons (waaagh), is that what the rank system is based on? If so, have I chosen a class which is slower going or gets better late game? Or, does it not really matter as much as I think? I can see that ranking up means better upgrades, presumably therefore more kills so it could be a feedback loop. Overall we've found it to be great fun as well as a kind of chaotic, screaming mess!

    What's the age cut off for socially acceptable gaming

    So, hear me out. I'm a 47 year old guy and I'm not ashamed to say that I enjoy video games. I always have, from playing Head over Heels on a Speccy +2 to ESO and Valorant on my self built PC. Due to various life circumstances, I'm also on the dating scene and to most women I meet, around my age, video games are anathema. When I say that I like them it's usually meet with an "oh dear" or a "my son would probably love to talk to you about them, I find them really boring" I have two boys, both teenagers, both play all the time and sometimes we all play together (although they are better as they have more time to apply to games). Their friends are amazed that I will talk about games with them, that I know someone about games and that I play games. None of their parents want to talk with them about what is effectively their main hobby that they do all the time (big sad). So the question, there must be some sort of cut off age at which video games are no longer an acceptable pastime. Is it absolute age based (nothing after 35) or is it something to do with the progression of games into popular culture and people born after, say, 1986 will not see it as unacceptable? I don't have an answer, I just think it's an interesting question. Thanks for reading, let me know what you think! Edit to add: I'm not planning on stopping through peer pressure, just wondering about the phenomenon!
