I stopped talking to mine when he went batshit because I wouldn’t help him get onto Tor/darkweb. He wouldn’t say why he wanted to access it, and he got angry when I said I didn’t want to get involved.

Then he accused me of being a “tony blair lover” which is kinda bizarre to me because I don’t live in the UK anymore.

It was a very strange interaction!

If something is worth doing, it’s worth doing well.

Said by a friend who, in the late 90s, copied a dozen albums to minidisk for me. He named all the albums and track names using a remote to select each letter one by one. It must have taken him many hours to do it. But he wanted to do a good job. Up up up up A right, up up up up up f, etc etc. Utterly tedious but he wanted to do a good job.

The original book by HG Wells had the aliens die off suddenly, defeated by Earth’s bacteria and viruses. So the story has always had that plot of “and suddenly the bad guys all died!”
