  Did you know the UK is the largest exporter of medicinal cannabis in the world…

  Theresa May‘s husband is/was a major shareholder in GW Pharmaceuticals (now Jazz Pharmaceuticals) who is a large exporter of it. Other MP’s past & likely present also benefit from the industry & yet we still have very dated laws on it. Is it in their interest to keep the status quo to keep competition at bay?

  I watched Midsommar knowing nothing about it at all, boy was that a shock at first & somewhat trippy & uncomfortable (without giving away any spoilers), but it kind of held up on a 2nd watch when I could bring myself to confront it again some time later. Not my usual cup of tea, but am interested in others in the genre now, so will try & check some on this list out…

  Have you ever heard the expression “The customer is always right”?…Yeah, well, here I am, the customer.

  I played the helicopter one as a flash web game when I was back in school some 20-25 years ago! Was one of the earliest simple time waster games (in a good sense) that I can remember being really addictive, the whole class would end up playing it in computer lessons until it got banned.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm the developer of WalkScape, the RuneScape inspired fitness MMORPG where you progress by walking IRL. We're now accepting more people to the Closed Beta!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This sounds amazing, I’ve been playing for a couple of months & really enjoying it. Having never played RuneScape or anything like it, it’s been quite a learning curve, but it’s all very chill so you don’t feel bad if it takes a while to spot a certain feature or remember where a certain screen was in the sprawling menu system (which is fairly easy to use once you get used to it).

  In the first few days/week I found I needed to interact while on walks to make the most of the short step requirements for early activities, but that soon levelled out, & the walk buffer with 2x multiplier is a really nice touch. Every few days/week I try to leave it on idle to build back the buffer, then everything feels relatively quick to progress for the next few days.

  Really awesome work & look forward to the upcoming updates whenever they arrive. Big thanks to you & the team!

  The app is rubbish & always has been so no real loss. But this, disabling a core hardware feature!? Dick move Anova, dick move…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The amount of sugar consumed by children from soft drinks in the UK halved within a year of the sugar tax being introduced, a study has found.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Diet Coke leaves a nasty metallic taste in my mouth, can’t stand the stuff. Coke Zero on the other hand mostly tastes ok to me, unless I’m eating chocolate & then it gets a similar nasty aftertaste to it as well. Nearly all other soft drinks are now sugar free & I’ve not found one I like anymore, some I’ve even spat out on initial sip as they taste so rank to me.

  Thankfully I’ve grown to like sparkling water the past few years, used to hate it, & often have that instead if I fancy something fizzy.

  Classic lemonade also still seems to be available with sugar, which is nice as an occasional treat…

  I watched this without knowing anything about it, & the flip of tone took me totally by surprise. Will never forget ‘that scene’!
