Did you know the UK is the largest exporter of medicinal cannabis in the world…

Theresa May‘s husband is/was a major shareholder in GW Pharmaceuticals (now Jazz Pharmaceuticals) who is a large exporter of it. Other MP’s past & likely present also benefit from the industry & yet we still have very dated laws on it. Is it in their interest to keep the status quo to keep competition at bay?

I have an 8+ year old colour Brother laser printer still going strong. Only had to replace the black cartridge for the first time the other week, colors all still going strong!

I can leave it unused for months & then just fire it up & print 100 pages with no problems whatsoever.

Wish I had it back in college/uni days when I had no end of problems with various crappy ink jet printers, even smashed one up I got so pissed off with it mucking me about back in the day.

Saying that, I think I’ve seen comments by others saying newer Brother laser jets aren’t as good?

You know. It’s good to be reminded what an amazing time it is to be alive right now when you see something like this & really think about what it took to make that photo. Truly amazing!

I watched Midsommar knowing nothing about it at all, boy was that a shock at first & somewhat trippy & uncomfortable (without giving away any spoilers), but it kind of held up on a 2nd watch when I could bring myself to confront it again some time later. Not my usual cup of tea, but am interested in others in the genre now, so will try & check some on this list out…
