He's worked for an lgbtqia+ charity for asylum seekers. At this point, I don't care if he is gay, he deserves to be accepted on merit.

I just got myself an Analogue Pocket to play GB and GBA games I missed over the years, but realise I can also play some of these fan made new releases. Are there any others that anyone can recommend?

Just a bit more rainforest, no one will notice.

Until recently I worked for a big telecoms company as a software engineer. We had time set aside for self development and non-work projects. Originally it was half a day a week, but we found it better to be a day every fortnight.

You could learn a new programming language or tool, build something just for fun or something you thought was useful for the team (we built a custom dashboard with notices etc., a quiz engine for weekly quizzes), or add functionality to a project that wasn't specced or requested, but you thought could add value.

After a while, a department wide code wars league was set up to challenge and learn, we had a yearly Easter egg hunt that involved solving puzzles to find prizes, people did lightning talks to teach things that they'd learnt, workshops, etc.

So much knowledge, skill and confidence was added to the team that was worth way more than what we'd do on any normal day. I'd recommend it to any technical team to try something similar.

What year is it?!

I got to "Money (notes)" as vegetable and thought to myself "of course, because coins would be mineral," then saw the Piggybank as mineral and confirmed my logic.

I still don't understand "dinner service" as mineral? Is it the cutlery?

There's at least two movies called The Wicker Man, so you might be remembering the other one with Christopher Lee. I think that one has less bees.

Don't forget Final Fantasy XIV. That game got a full rewrite, top to bottom and came out far better than its original state.

I saw it in the cinema with friends, we all realised how shit it was pretty quickly, but I burst out laughing when the alien queen went on a rampage. It was so bad. "Look at its widdle legs!"

"And with God as my witness, I am that fool!"

This is how Facebook has operated for well over a decade now, they have profiles and data on many people who don't use Facebook and they've gotten away with it, so why would they stop now.

I had a realisation last night while watching What We Do In The Shadows with my boyfriend. The word were in werewolf comes from the old English wereman, meaning a man, but woman in old English is wifman, where we get the modern words of both woman and wife. So a female werewolf would be a wifwolf.
