Did you know those tattoos were going to look like the scribblings of a 4 year old ... and decide to get them anyway ?

Most of the posters in this thread are just like chimpanzees on MDMA, full of feelings of bonhomie, joy, and optimism. Fred99 8/4/21

Follow up question - How come I haven't won lotto yet? Have I not paid enough of a penance?

Have you not learnt! You have to actually buy a ticket! 🙃

If you've never bought a single ticket for the entire time Lotto has run in NZ then you've made around $35,000 so far compared to if you had bought a ticket each week.

Why are there only two types of people in the world - those who divide the world into two types of people - and those who don’t?

Sometimes I just sit and think. Other times I just sit.

Is a penance more than a pittance?

In the last 20 odd years, technology has had a wireless revolution, so why does my office / work shop look like a snake pit from Indiana Jones?

Because with everything wired you don't get a new hobby called "why am I getting error messages complaining about no connect/lost data/timeouts/whatever instead of data".

Because only data communication went wireless, power is still wired,

Thinking that things are wireless you can now move them around and put them in places you would not have had them before, but you've still gotta plug them in ....

+over the last 20 years the number of things you own that need to be powered has simply exploded....
