Given that spark, he'll think about it. In case he is rebuked he'll likely flat-out wine about it.

I always get worried when I don't see the "Sound of the Week" post from Sander.
Not because I worry about if something has happened to him, but I worry that it might actually only be Thursday and I still have another full day until the weekend

Sad thing is that the closer you are to the weekend, the closer you are to monday as well...

Well fortunately, in this case Monday's a holiday.

For my brain, every Monday is a holiday 
|
|
|
|
|
 ... finally I can quietly work on some relevant things which I need to understand better ...

There are some weekends where I can't wait for Monday! (yardwork/manual labor/honeydews)

On impulse I connected to the ISS live HD feed and, as the view was almost cloudless I waited a couple of minutes to come ashore in Namibia. Shortly I saw a strange thing: a large white area. This, it seems is Etsoha National Park[^]. First I heard of it. Not surprisingly, the white is a salt flat - a really big one.

Remember, half the time ISS is on the night side of the earth (90min orbits)

This post made absolutely no sense until I realised you hadn't wrote "IIS"...

Even worse, I thought he first wrote ISIS.

If only that were a relative term. I live in the West so those that are west of me, well, never mind.

And on my side I thought, hmm perhaps I will learn something special about ISS installer which we are using for several years now ...  , wrong  ...

Wow, I sometimes look for mindless, time-wasting activities when I don't feel like coding, (why else would I be here!) but this tips the boredom scale!

Well - I suppose you can sit and stare and hope something happens.
Others, keeping in mind the 90min orbit time AND the map showing past/present/future locations for ISS would let you predict when something's going to happen.
Or, if you continue with your night-watch, you may luck out and be over a thunderstorm (which can look amazingly cool from the top).
Well - I need to get back to watching a dandelion re-open and then hope for a stiff breeze.

... we have a date for "I bought the farm" (now rebadged as "Clarkson's Farm"): Jun 11th on Amazon Prime.
There is a trailer here: Clarkson's Farm | Official Trailer | The Grand Tour - YouTube[^] and while it's likely to contain a lot of the "good bits" it definitely has a "Real Top Gear" feel to the trailer.
Could be worth watching. I'll certainly try it.

great something else for me to be hooked on. Waiting for on Amazon Prime. I keep trying to cut tie with them But Clarkson and company keep pulling me back in with their hilarious antics and incredible videography.
Clarkson is simply brilliant.

Dij can make phone calls, turn on the computer, send emails ... and play computer games.
Picture the scene: I'm play GTA V online, I'm in an Annihilator Helicopter (only slightly stolen), and I am approaching the attack zone at around 2000 feet.
Furface decides I'm not paying him enough attention, strolls up to the keyboard and ... looks at me while he presses the "F" key.
Which ejects me from the chopper.
Then he lies down on the keyboard so I can't get to ENTER to deploy my parachute ... can I remember which button it is on the controller? Nope.
Splat.
Thanks cat.

Looking at the bigger picture.
Perhaps it's Dij's way of telling you that if should convert you to soft mushy pieces she'd eat you flesh without a second thought ?

TBH, the end result's probably no different to being ejected (presumably upwards, i.e. towards the rotors) from the 'copter. Never played GTA so maybe you were flying a rotorless 'copter...
