Is it me, or is whathreewords.com a very complicated and expensive solution to a non-existent problem?
at work we find it quite handy for people reporting flytips and stuff... yes a grid ref would do too, or a sat nav lat/long but its signioficantly better than a post code
Your location, if you were to use the app, would be pinpointed to within a couple of square meters, by three random words (whatthreewords). For instance, your location might be something like ‘Table, Shirt, Car’
Why, when I click on the email address of a contact and then choose ‘Send message’, does it open a new SMS with the contact‘s email address in the ‘To’ field?? How can I send an SMS to an email address??
Woke up this morning with a nagging thought: when did restaurants become a thing? So i went to handy dandy google. According to History.com, the first restaurants came about in the 1100s in China. Because they had a dense population and traffic because of trade, restaurants would pop up strategically in these areas and cater to their needs. It even evolved to include hotels, brothels, and other forms of entertainment (singing waiters, for example). (This is my sleepy summary of the article.... Back to my coffee i go!)
I think detached would be a better way to describe it. I’ve never been the mists alert of people, but every time some one spoke to me today my brain needed a a good few seconds to process an answer. Every time I replied it was with a “What?” or “Eh?” not because I hadn’t heard them but because I needed to stall while I processed my answer. It’s probably just a brain clot forming prior to having a major stroke.

TFW the first example sentence you are able to construct with your basic conlang vocabulary is a curse... Aviadve inrunye æge!
Random publishing fact: Penguin R.H is the largest bookseller in the world. Also random fact: like Disney, they strive to rule the world. Yesterday, the Department of Justice blocked Penguin from acquiring Simon &Schuster (their biggest rival).

Musk ox calves are just the cutest little things! He take an big steppy. Ain't that a little creachur?
Had an interesting death-of-the-author type moment just now. In the middle of re-reading a perfectly normal scene I wrote a while ago, with three named characters, for just one sentence I had accidentally swapped one of them with another character, who vanished over a year ago (in-world time) and hundreds of miles from where this scene is occurring. I've never felt simultaneously so omnipotent (I can make people appear and disappear in the blink of an eye!) and confused (why would I have thought of his name there, and only that once, when he's hardly been mentioned in the previous 30+ pages?).
