Since I don't sleep much, caffeine is a must for me too and chocolate, those are probably the worst addictions I have.
I am also pretty much addicted to music as in playing and listening to it. I just can't get enough and if I pair that up with a good
book then that is so much better. Almost every day I have to read before I sleep as it calms my head and I sleep better - or so I believe

Chocolate, food, Chocolate, Pizza, Chocolate, Computer games, Chocolate, Sweets and lets not forget Chocolate
Microsoft ... the only place where VARIANT_TRUE != true

Hmmm... Is Ali here, too?
I like all four of the basic food groups - chocolate, pizza, booze and girl.

French fries.

Chocolate - a lot...

That's not an addiction but a disease...

I am addicted to the manufacture of an illusory fiction of a personal self, within a package of meat-and-bones, experienced as both "what I am," and "who I have been," embodied in a constantly re-edited matrix of neuronal inter-connections.
This is a very expensive addiction, and has cost me Gods-Know-What.

Two greatest addictions are the internet and Cool Ranch Doritos.

One more vote for chocolate.

Sparky's found the problem, some daft rat had gnawed through the cable to the shed; what is laid at ground level. Add some rain and it all go *BOOM*.
Outside has been isolated and he's gone to return next week with new cabling and what-nots.
* other gnawing rodents are available

No, Sparky you fool.
|

You named the rat?
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

What's your problem? Sparky is a nice name for a rat.
Especially for one attracted to cables.

We used to have a cat that chewed mains wires when I was a kid.
Should have seen it when it bit through...
Flew a good six feet backwards, shook himself, and charged back for another go (not the brightest cat we had ever owned)

Who would run cable at ground level, outdoors, without enclosing it in conduit? That's just asking for trouble.

It is an enclosed cable, yet our gnawing friend still got through it. Sparky will be replacing it with something a wee bit more robust.

Excellent! I recommend galvanized steel encased in concrete slurry. Rats are persistent, and have really weird appetites!
We don't have them here, but rabbits and ground squirrels fill the niche. Rabbits will destroy anything you try to grow, while the squirrels will gnaw anything you wire. What's left, the pigeons crap on, and we're not allowed to kill them. Go figure...

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
