Didn’t really mean to do this, but I ended up watching the entire Back to the Future trilogy the other night, not finishing until about 2am. That was fun, not seen those movies, especially 2 and 3, for ages.

I usually have 50-70 tabs open, spread across 6-8 windows.

Each window is for a particular client, usually with various pages from their website, plus the equivalent CMS editing page, their socials, etc. I’m regularly doing a small job for one client here, another there, and so on, so it’s easier to just leave them open.

I also usually have at least one or two windows with my own stuff - Lemmy, BlueSky, a football ⚽ forum I use, YouTube, BBC News, etc.

It’s messy, but it works on the whole. It’s a pain whenever I need to restart or run updates though, since I need to check every tab to make sure it’s safe to close! 😁

No need, he was just fine after my version of TLJ 😁

The Last Jedi doesn’t happen the way it did. Instead, the moment on the island where Rey tries to hand Luke the lightsaber has him reject it in anger and anguish, afraid that the past he thought he had left far behind him has re-emerged. It does not get casually tossed off the cliff for a cheap giggle. The reasons for the rejection can be broadly the same, if necessary, but they can be shown in a less weird and melodramatic way.

In this new version, Finn gets something (anything) to do, ideally something that will bring he and Rey closer together by the end.

Poe does not play “Can you hear me now?” with Hux. There is no casino planet, no obvious double cross and no little moppets with magical broomsticks.

Luke does not die at the end. Leia dies at the 2/3s point, and it’s this that finally brings Luke back into the fold, perhaps to get revenge, perhaps to honour her dying wish, whatever.

Snoke is not discarded like a used tissue. Kylo and Rey still communicate psychically, but there’s no hint of romance. Instead he starts to tempt her towards the dark side, leveraging the pain she feels towards the parents who abandoned her.

I dunno, just something which follows on more naturally from TFA, which is darker, and which definitely is less silly than what we got.

The Rise of Skywalker is in many ways the same as in reality, but it’s Snoke and not the Emperor that’s the Big Bad (although maybe you get the Emperor involved as some sort of Force ghost mentor to Snoke, or whatever). It follows on much more naturally from TLJ, because it doesn’t have to spend the first 30 minutes doing major course corrections. Finn and Rey get together, only for one of them to be killed off… or were they?

That’s the Chieftain’s Shield which has always been my favourite Asterix book, since I was little. Love it ❤️

Just so you know, The Sun is a truly shitty horrible, lying rag of a paper - if you’re not from the UK, you wouldn’t know of course, so no criticism, just FYI 🙂

Great tune!

Good shout - OP, this is probably the one.

And that’s the doves. The hawks are more like…

This is a stunningly beautiful extended metaphor.

+1 on Ask Dad videos - this is a good channel: https://youtube.com/@dadhowdoi

Also +1 on everything else you said, especially the never stop learning point.

OP, it’s totally ok not to know things - you can seek them out in advance, or you can discover them along the way, as and when necessary.

You’ll be ok, pretty much everyone muddles through life one way or another. Best of luck 👍

Naggers, right?

Yugoslavia. Mainly because it’s not there anymore. Would love to go to Croatia again for the first time though.

Funny, I was going to say the referee - a great refereeing performance will rarely be noticeable.

I’d love to see more of the classic BBC 80s adaptation - same cast, same production style, just continuing on through the books (with, as you say, the usual changes and mutations as most of Adams’ work). Obviously impossible, but I like to dream.

Some elements of this sound like the plot of Overdrawn at the Memory Bank, starring Raul Julia, and made famous by its appearance on Mystery Science Theatre 3000: https://youtu.be/2hBEh1JJ1E0
