Exactly. Banning tobacco outright isn’t going to stop smoking, it’ll just create a black market. And we know how effective that has been for ‘real’ drugs. Smoking has been naturally declining in popularity anyway, so it really just feels like Tory posturing.

You ever try lugging a toilet up a flight of stairs?

Okay, first of all calling people that use Chromebooks “slow” is maybe a little too far, maybe rein that in a little.

I can tell you from years of experience that using a Windows device isn’t a qualifier for being tech literate at all; the large majority of people don’t make any effort to learn how to use their device effectively, regardless of which OS it’s running.

In my organisation we’d tried giving Chromebooks to users with basic needs but very often they’d return it saying “it’s not good enough”. We’d check the usage reports and so many of them had apparently come to this decision within 30 minutes. We’d give them a Windows device instead and they’d still raise support tickets for basic, Google-able things like setting default apps and how to unmute their sound.

I have this theory that some people are ‘computer people’, in the same way some are dog people or cat people. Everyone else just doesn’t know how to have a ‘relationship’ with a computer and they get frustrated when they can’t immediately understand it.

For clarity, I’ve also not played since I was a kid. But it’s definitely possible to improve, especially if it’s been a long time since you played consistently. Remember it’s “only” Sunday league; no one is expecting you to be the next Jamie Vardy. It’s admirable that you’re taking it up again off your own back. Give it time and don’t pressure yourself too much.

I swear the extra flavour in their extra hot sauce makes it less hot than the hot one. Or maybe the extra hot burned my tastebuds to a crisp.
