But what if the TARDIS starts hitting on you?
 
I thought we weren’t supposed to call them that anymore.

I just noticed the fingers on my left hand are longer than the fingers on my right! Not really a rant, but I do have a little anxiety sitting here at work. See how it plays out over the rest of the day.

If you are left handed, it means that using your left hand more has lengthened and strengthened that hand. If you are right handed, then it means that you have over used your right hand and worn your fingers down.
 
Either way this is about which hand he's been ‘over’using. :groucho:
 
It's in an episode from a couple of years ago, when the TARDIS is in love with the Doctor.

I haven't watched Doctor Who since the Christmas special following Capaldi's second season. The childish stories and Clara-the-obnoxious-companion-who-ate-the-show-and-would-not-die just killed all the enjoyment I got from it.

I've nothing against Capaldi; he did a decent job with the generally crummy material he was given to work with. He made a better Doctor than Matt Smith did.
 
Wanted to put some leftover mozarella on my pasta, opened the packet only to find roquefort inside.

Are you sure that it wasn't just some mozzarella that got left exposed for too long?
 
So mirco$oft made an OS specifically designed for children to learn. What do you think they prioritised? A turing complete machine that is easy to control, write software, explore the world of useful tasks that computers can do, easy for the user to set up and configure for their own purposes? No, it is locked down to the max so kids learn that "computers" are just things that do a limited set of tasks to help them fit into the the world as good little consumers.

As the philosopher Aristotle, or St Ignatius Loyola depending on who you believe, said: “Give me a child until he is seven and I’ll show you the man.”​

I think a closed system that will be hacked probably before its release date is a perfectly suitable introduction to computers for kids.
 
10 years ago Skyrim came out. Still no DRM free release.
