I'm surprised that The Rolling Stones' webstore isn't selling face masks with the tongue logo on them. I mean, duh. On the other hand, they are selling a black baseball cap that says "SHE'S SO COLD". A $35 gift for that special someone in your life.

It IS farcical. Drop-out rates? I think UK universities manage to get most of them through somehow. Google 'Chinese UK universities' or something similar and you'll find a shitload of articles about this terrible business. It's good that they're young and their parents are paying - otherwise the unis would be facing huge volumes of complaints about the quality of the teaching they're getting online. US universities are the same. Take the University of California system. Int'l students pay through the roof, but it is one of the top university systems in the world and US, so they feel like they're getting their money's worth. College directors of finance and presidents must be shitting their pants with the just-passed law that int'l students have to leave if there are no location classes in Fall. Doesn't Nick peddle a UK university towards int'l students?

Ethernet! yes - thanks. I'd forgotten about that option.
I've ordered an iMac and when that arrives I can plug it straight in.

Um ... that's what you do with extender kits.
As I said, get the fastest ones you can.

That's not old, that's knackered. I'm getting on for twice your age and my back and shoulders are fine. And as far as getting old is concerned, it's better than the alternative

Mark, just do like Ray and rub hashish oil on the body parts that get sore.

You're lucky, Ray. You really are. I'm 52 and my knees are absolutely fucking finished. My eyesight is knackered too. I don't sleep half as well as I did just ten years ago, I've little hairs growing out of every once-smooth part of my head and I can't run for more than 10 seconds without feeling like my heart is going to burst through my ribcage. If life really does begin at 40 then it ends soon after

About 10 years ago, my calf muscles started popping when I jogged more than 50 yards. I now have to wear compression sleeves on my calves. I was walking in the park near my place and saw a guy who looked like this. I thought this is me in five years.

Got my first lockdown hair cut after a few DIYs. Feel good as well as looking better than my own efforts.

I have been letting my kids take a shot at cutting my hair. They love it. No real damage done, my wife shapes it, grows out fast

Long grey hair, plummy British tone, there is money to be made in the US as a Gandalf look alike.
(Imagine how close one could have the look and then a Cockney or Scouse comes out, no go)
A Lancashire accent would work, but Yorkshire might be considered too barefoot and backwoodsy, probably has a connection to WV and KY accents in the US.
