Flat, problematic feet battered to hell by hockey skates--I bought crocs in Minnesota (following a chorus of recommendations in the blue) and recommend them to anyone who asks and some who don't. They feel great. They *never* smell. They do, admittedly, look stupid. Mickey-mouse-like. It's a small price to pay.
I never saw a pair worn before I got mine. A month or two later, in downtown Manhattan, I see them everywhere, not just on hipsters and old people. Bartenders, nurses, the cashiers at the supermarket, college kids.
So I can't wear them in London. Big deal.
48 times earnings (Symbol: CROX) means we're a bit late to the party, I suppose. Damned hippie capitalists.
Violence, conspiracy theories, spies, commandos, playable on Windows, that's my thing.
--Thief and sequelae
--Deus Ex 1 and 2
--Splinter Cell and Rainbow 6 Series (until the Clancy politics drive me away for a while)
--Full Spectrum Warrior
--Half-Life and expansions: Although now quaint, Half-Life the original was the most profound gaming experience. I was there, man. HL 2.
--Liked the GTA series, loved and miss Interstate '76 , a ca. 1997 game.
But I'd never buy a console game. That's for addicts.
About your age, Roly.

A terrible situation. But a wild coincidence.

In "Cornell researchers build a robot that can reproduce"
"it performs no useful function except to self-replicate" I feel that way a lot.
