Tuned into Capital (British top-forty/pop music station) by accident just now. First thing I heard after the music (Swifty-Swift, lovely stuff) and it turns out we're being told "Producer Charlotte" went on a date with her current boyfriend and her ex and the presenter is asking people to give their reactions. Thorny dilemma, huh?

I ruled out heart attack based on the fact that I'm still alive and better. Made a doctor appointment though.

The goal of technology is to create more efficient tools. Once the tools become intelligent enough and gain the ability to repair and duplicate themselves, the goal of technology is to either replace or incorporate its erstwhile creators.
