@hybotics At this time of the year, probably cold!

@jextxadore Milk foamed by live steam, more commonly used in coffee lattes, cappuccinos, etc.
Found the stinking whoring Kindle on the floor at the foot of a bed. A bed I've not used as such for at least three years.
How very odd. I was reading a book on my Kindle a few hours ago. Now I can't locate the thing.
I've draped an old towel over the laundry hamper: the cat has decided that's her favourite bed at present.
I'm not much into alcohol these days, so I'm about to drown my sorrows in a big cup of tea, Earl Grey, hot. With honey & steamed milk.
People for the Ethical Treatment of Software (PETS) announced today that seven more software companies have been added to the group's "watch list" of companies that regularly practice software testing.
"There is no need for software to be mistreated in this way so that companies like these can market new products," said Ken Granola, spokesperson for PETS. "Alternative methods of testing these products are available."
According to PETS, these companies force software to undergo lengthy and arduous tests, often without rest for hours or days at a time. Employees are assigned to "break" the software by any means necessary, and inside sources report that they often joke about "torturing" the software.
"It's no joke," said Granola. "Innocent programs, from the day they are compiled, are cooped up in tiny rooms and 'crashed' for hours on end. They spend their whole lives on dirty, ill-maintained computers, and are unceremoniously deleted when they're not needed anymore."
Granola said the software is kept in unsanitary conditions and is infested with bugs.
"We know alternatives to this horror exist," he said, citing industry giant Microsoft Corp. as a company that has become extremely successful without resorting to any software testing.
Damn, I'm not winning here. Already made an appointment to see the doctor tomorrow about the finger I slashed with the "safety" razor this morning. Now, while getting the rubbish bin out, I've sliced a open flap of skin covering the 2nd knuckle of the adjacent finger. Neither of these injuries can be sutured.
Re the earlier cut: there's a mass of encrusted blood under the first two sticking plasters. It acts as an armoured coating so it doesn't hurt so much when I bump it.
I reckon the clinic's nurse will be involved with the treatment. She's my best friend's aunt, so he's gonna give me some grief over the incidents.
Legend has it that when one of his neighbours asked him to invent a way to get water from the river to his fields, Archimedes said, "Don't ask me. I'd probably just screw it up."
