A few. Most recent is my neighbour.

They were uncommon where I grew up, but older houses still had them and were being slowly phased out as houses in the neighbourhood sold. Ours was one of the last in the area to be removed/replaced, when it rained the lines still crossed with the houses that had the upgrade.

Picking up the phone to make a call, and getting yelled at by the neighbor for not checking for a dialtone before dialling. Alternatively, learning how to screw out the mouth piece (muting the handset) and pick up the receiver without making a noise so I could listen to the neighbour gossip.

Exactly. The choice is vaping or smoking, and the current movement is going to push me back to cigarettes. I'd rather vape, and I was well on my way to being able to consider myself quit when the restrictions on obtaining nicotine came into effect.

Yes there may be risks with vaping, I'm all for properly done scientific method, not funded by the ciggy lobby and would volunteer in a heart beat, because in my anecdotal experience I was getting sick far less than when I was smoking.

They definitely shouldn't be in the hands of kids, and the disposables are absolutely a problem.

Not wrong! ;)

Sometimes I'm sure I spent more time on my spreadsheets than I did undocked.

Eve online, although it's more of a love the game, hatee the community/players kinda deal.

Or the BC interior in the 80's.

  • Doesn't do anything to accounts that raided a server, sending members gore and worse videos.

(Lost a good community in the aftermath, and at least one of the offensive accounts is still active!)

Satisfactory. Lots to organize and build. A bit of a learning curve if you want to get complex, but if you want to keep things simple it's really doable.

No Man's Sky. Space exploration, building, and all round reason to goof about for hours. (Free to play this weekend on all platforms.)

Both games have a great community.
