Flag? I never noticed that before! It got mine right - UK, but I don't know how!
Also, it has my location as Bicester. Where did that come from? I didn't even know there was a place to put your address - until 5 minutes ago.

Considering that I am a Brit who just happens to live in the US at the moment, there should be an option to get the correct flag set. Just a thought.

Weird. I was wondering last night about default flags, and wondering if there were options like Klingon or UFP or, maybe even Sheldon's Apartment.

I can't think of a single addiction that is beneficial. The first person to come up with a 'good addiction' is going to be richer that Jeff Bezos. Opportunity?
If anyone does invent one, remember, this was my idea and I deserve a small cut! Just getting that in now.

Aside from the blessing we speak of as coffee, let me give you a lifestyle hint:

Those aren't addictions, they're habits.

I was going to say the same. In fact I googled the difference between Habit and Addiction and this is what I found:
Quote: The words “habit” and “addiction” are frequently interchanged, but there is one significant difference between the two. Habits can be negative or positive, while addictions are only negative. The trick to identifying, which is which often lies in the amount of time and effort it takes to break one.

And if an addiction give the addict pleasure as compensation, who's to say?
Check one or more:
[ ] Religious zealots?
[ ] Right wing political knowers of what's right?
[ ] Left wing political knowers of what's right?
[ ] People jealous of that in which someone else takes pleasure?
[ ] Fill in with those other impeccable judges of good and evil who got on your case

I am addicted to large lottery wins.
So far I seem to have resisted feeding my addiction.

Yes, in the same vein, I have been boycotting luxury cars and hotels since ever I was born to protest against wealth, and so far I have been able to stick to this commitment.

Watching or participation?

Actually participation because it is proven, but watching may probably also cause endorphin addiction. And if not coupled with beer and snacks, less dangerous than participation. (I have an interesting theory concerning "no sports lifestyle" which somehow goes minimal loss of life expectancy vs. shorter yet happier life without injuries).
