After a heavy night out in Okayama in 1992, friend and I stayed in a capsule hotel one night (the kind with lots of signs in the lobby and near the baths saying "no tattoos"). Nice having my own cozy snug, even saw a few minutes of squeaky porn on the in-built TV before I passed out.

The next morning we had to check out. But I was still so messed up from the night before, almost immediately had to check into another place, a regular hotel room, and lie down. I can't tell you how much it made my poor hungover head spin every time I opened my eyes and saw that the ceiling was so far away!

  • Adjustment time to being in a capsule: 0 hours, 0 minutes.
  • Re-adjustment back to 'normal space': at least 8 hours.

Trek me: "Of course! ¡Viva Q!" :D

Pedant me: "Ackshually mariachi are dressed like charros from the state of Jalisco, whereas Mexico was represented at the Battle of Puebla by the regular Mexican army, and volunteers from Zacapoaxtla, so Q should be dressed like this:"

We didn't own a BBC Micro, my school did.

My modern luxury at home was one of these:

Re the proposed "National Garden of American Heroes", you may submit applications to make statues of a selection from the list provided here:

From just a quick look:

  • Muhammad Ali - avoided fighting in Vietnam by standing up for his woke principles of DEI, not claiming bone spurs
  • Louis Armstrong, Neil Armstrong - both included, presumably in case Donald gets the two confused
  • John James Audubon - immigrant from Haiti, and we all know what that means!
  • Alexander Graham Bell - Scots and Canadian and worked with people with disabilities; we all know how much that Venn diagram loves Trump
  • Ingrid Bergman - Swedish actress. I mean, 100% Swedish. Are you even trying to pick American heroes?
  • Johnny Cash - the man who wore black out of empathy for the poor and incarcerated. Probably wouldn't even piss on Trump if he was on fire.
  • Christopher Columbus - I thought Trump was one of those who insisted on "America" meaning only the United States of America. Which Columbus was not born in, naturalized in, lived in or ever even visited. Or does Trump think that in 1492 Columbus sailed the ocean blue and landed in Palm Beach to be welcomed by Paul Bunyan and George Washington saying "50% off all mattresses all weekend!"?

You mean, we could have seen this meme before?

And if sea levels rise from all the greenhouse gases emitted on this trip, it's cool: a rising tide lifts all megayachts!

But it is Cinco de Cuatro!

“If you repeat a lie, you know, [...] enough times, some people actually believe it, [...]"

What an interesting perspective, Elon. Who came up with it originally? Oh, yeah, the fucking Nazis!

(I'm not saying we should post Spaceballs screencaps as though they're legit Star Wars ones...)
