Observations on the world and its inhabitants
Well, some people must be laughing and so am I! Yes – I know I’m crazy. Tell me something I don’t know! 😆 This article is my ‘notes’ in case I need to refresh my memory in the future. It may help someone out there. So the backstory to this was from my previous post ...
“Honesty is the best policy.” We’ve heard this since childhood, seen it emblazoned on inspirational posters, and nodded along when it’s offered as relationship advice. It’s one of those universal virtues that nobody publicly disputes. After all, who would advocate for dishonesty? Yet in the messy reality of human relationships, honesty isn’t the straightforward virtue ...
Well you (meaning me) live and learn. I made an assumption over 40-odd years that petrol was a particular molecular compound. It turns out from my investigation that it is a mixture of compounds. Ahhh.. so somebody will be wondering, “Why the devil is he researching that, now? Has he not got anything better to ...
Someone on a forum asked for assistance with putting in a complaint to a regulatory authority. I gave them my tips. So I put them up here as well to help anyone and for my ease of reference. This is absolutely not a ‘one size fits’ all. Read that again – slowly this time – ...
Why is this any of my business? My business is about anything that I see as grossly unfair – I couldn’t care less where it’s happening.

Ah, artificial intelligence – the technology that’s supposed to revolutionise our lives, save us time, and maybe even write our grocery lists. But let’s be real here, not everyone is rushing to embrace our new robot overlords. After all one of them called DeepSeek caused a $1 trillion wipe out on the stock markets in ...
For many years I’ve kept Captain’s Watch mostly away from Google. That was because the site/blog was originally set up as a sort of diary shared only with close associates (I don’t have or keep friends). But over the last few months I’ve been reflecting much on how the site has changed in its form ...
Wow!! It’s such an amazing tool – beating back ChatGPT hands down – that I had to try it out on some conundrums I faced in the past. Note that on opening this post, a video starts playing automatically at 11:11 min and stops automatically about 6 mins later. To not have the video start ...
“What!” you exclaim. 😂 I’ll explain. I read from internet sources that it’s not a good idea to keep eggs in trays on fridge doors. The warning is about the temperature of eggs fluctuating and going too high, so that they aren’t cooled enough to prolong shelf life. In fact some sources say it’s dangerous. ...
This is about Dinitrogen-Dioxygen Fluidic Mixtures, a previously not well recognised danger to humanity and economic systems. Without further delay, the list of risks and damage are as follows: Inhalation Dependency: Prolonged exposure to DDFM leads to severe dependence. Users have been known to seek it out constantly, with extreme cases requiring it every few ...
