As a follow-up on that "new" Port Royale purchase off ebay. I did leave a negativ review (it's bs how you only have so few characters available, can't write more than one sentence). Because of that, the seller actually got angry and said that I likely tried to play the title under Windows 10, didn't get it to work and am now whining because of it...which is funny, considering I don't even have Windows 10 and also haven't opened the "new" aka re-sealed item. I don't think I can comment on his review for me which is unfortunate. And even if so, the character limitation would make it mostly useless again.

We have a child's casket on display at the inn.

A lot of people complain and we had considered removing it until a very elderly woman pulled me aside, told me how cool she thought it was and reminded me, "Death. It happens to the best of us."

The casket stays.

37 degrees Celsius today :'( Seems as if we've had an unrelenting heatwave for 2 months by now

0 degrees Celsius in here .

That's about the temperature we've been getting, except that it's Fahrenheit rhather than Celsius.

In other words, if we ignore units, the temperature is about the same.

(I believe that failing to do a conversion resulted in the destruction of some space vehicle. Oops!)

Edit: For the curious, here's the space mission that failed:

Which is why we have to provide units* :) Robin Williams has a great bit on that by the way : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SiNWnQYXifA
At least no-one died due to that mathematical boo-boo, as opposed to a some incidents related to round-off errors

* unless it's -40 ;)

Another math/measurement error leads to near-disaster:

The in-laws are staying with us for 5 weeks. In our 3 bedroom townhouse.

Welcome to my nightmare.

Alcohol is the solution.

Here's to alcohol - the cause and solution to all of life's problems! :)

Chances are that alcohol caused your in-laws in one way or another. Homer's Theory is golden. :D



Why don't you spend 5 weeks in your in-laws' house?

When hell comes to visit you, show it who's boss by visiting hell.

It's the first day and I already want to slit my wrists.
