  • For conversations I need to have, I rehearse in my head and mutter quips to myself to prepare myself for all contingencies.

    This isn’t so I will say these words to the person, but more that I’m convincing myself and arming my mouth when my brain wanders off as it is wont to do.

    On the actual day, I drink a soothing tea and don’t say anything unless the uncomfortable topic is brought up. If people clock onto my calm confidence, they usually don’t instigate.

    I’ve learned from early on that people prey only on those they perceive weak, but to pre-emptively strike is to invite ruin. So I prepare and stay quiet.

    Beer would ruin that planning as I am a lightweight




  • Anne with an E was a surprise favourite of mine. I mostly just resonated with the stiff/gruff characters being totally undone by a loud mouthed girl with a heart of gold and a strong sense of justice. It kind of speaks to the idea that most people are shaped by their hard and tragic lives, but are only a few steps away from being good to one another if shown how.

    I also like the unbeatable spirit of the main protagonist who somehow does not let the world get them down, rises to every challenge with spunky defiance, makes friends of their enemies, and sports orange. If Naruto and Anne of Green Gables ever met on the battlefield, I’m not sure who would be left standing.

  • You can fly the drone without a license in secret, and the law only requires that you scribble the ID somewhere on the craft – something you do not need to do if flying for clandestine purposes.

    Not all drone’s fly via radio, many use direct WiFi connections which can be completely spoofed over 3G proxies so that the drone and operator aren’t in direct contact with one another
