If it's not done, it gets too full and itchy for the doggie. Have you ever seen a dog sit on its ass and sort of drag itself across the floor, scratching it's arsehole off the ground? They do that when the anal gland is annoying them.

What are your thoughts on the European Union vacuum cleaner power limits (no more than 1600w motors allowed this year, and no more than 900w in 2017)?

Personally, I think it's a good thing and it will just force manufacturers to make more efficient machines. People don't seem to agree, and stores saw a huge uptick in people buying 2500w monsters recently, before they're not allowed on the shelves.

Here’s my translation:

1. If you run out of money, we see if we can do less for you so it’s cheaper
2. If that’s not possible we punt to somewhere else, or see if their family can stump up money so we keep getting paid
3. Once we know that won’t work, we wash our hands of it and try the punt again to somewhere else.
4. If all else fails, fuck off … not our problem.

Quite a difference to where my father lives in Ireland, which is:

1. If you have loads of money, you pay for your care (until you don’t any more, see below).
2. If you have less than abotu 40,000 EUR in cash assets, we won’t touch them.
3. BUT, we will take 80% of your pension or other income (if you have any). If you don’t, then we won’t.
4. If you own a home, we will take 7.5% of the value of it, for a maximum of 3 years.
5. You will never be kicked out, and you will never pay for more than the cost of your care. You may have a significantly reduced income but hey, you don’t have much to spend it on. You will always have 77.5% of your primary home value to leave to your kids.

It’s a great point.

I don’t play multiplayer games because I don’t have the time. I get a few hours a month to play a game, so I’m playing single player. And I am playing on the easiest level available because if I get 4 or 5 hours a month to play I sure as shit don’t want to waste it … so “easy” or “story” is enough for me.

Sometimes even that isn’t enough. I gave up on Witcher 3 because even on easy mode I couldn’t get enough time to beat the first real boss I encountered.

I would like a cheat code to just be invincible so I can enjoy the game like I might enjoy a movie.

It’s “apropos”, by the way.
