Where is the Random Thread of Randomness stuff that doesn't belong in other threads thread?

It's wild, how unconscious perception keeps you sane. For example, I'm sitting here at my desk in a corner of my bedroom. Cozy little desk with a cozy little lamp. Trashcan by my feet, calendar on the wall. Bed behind me. Floor and rugs under my feet and a ceiling over my head. I feel big and masterful. BUT... if you really think about it...

On the scale of the entire planet, I'm a tiny insignificant and very frail speck. There is more stuff beneath my feet in the Earth than I can comprehend and looking up is even worse. Less maddening with a roof overhead, but out walking The Dog this morning I look up and realize that there's just a whole lot of *nothing* out there--basically an infinite amount.

I can kind of grasp the Moon. Say 250,000 miles. I've probably driven that far in my life. So if I drove all my life, I could've made it to the Moon (assuming there was a road and air and restaurants and gas stations). But then I would probably die before I managed to drive back--at the rate I've gone so far. And I can't even grasp how far away the Sun is. I look up and see it. It makes my skin warm on a cold day, but it is so far away that I could never ever get to it--and if I could it would kill me--and it's one of the closer things to us. If I could just launch straight up into the air and just go, the speed I could get to would be irrelevant. I could go Warp 9.9 and still probably live out my days (assuming, again, food and air and all the necessities) without ever hitting anything--and not even making a dent in how far I could go.
 
Had to laugh just now. Nearsighted most of the start of my life. Got lasered in 2003. Past 7-8 years I've gotten old enough to need reading glasses. Just now I got up to put away my breakfast dishes and get some coffee. My hands were full and I'd forgot to take off my reading glasses. I could see things up close but everything else was kind of blurry. I had to laugh because I realized this is the way I used to see before the LASIK.

Gino DeCampo famous for being rude on TV has apparently been too rude on TV.

Seems like a pretty dismissive thing to say when most of the accusations don't seem to be about things he said when cameras were rolling.

One woman, Hannah, told ITV News Correspondent Sejal Karia of a highly sexualised comment she says was made by Gino D’Acampo, and directed at her when they were working together on a magazine shoot in 2011.

In front of the entire crew, she says D’Acampo told her he would "like to turn me over and f*** me up the a*** against the kitchen counter."

She says she remembers "a ripple of laughs" while the people stood beside her "looked nervously into their cups of tea".

"He opened the door in his boxer shorts, nothing else. And jumped on the bed and was sort of - leg up.

"We had to sort of sit there facing him and he made, you know, reference to his d***, basically saying, ‘Oh, don't worry, it's only small’, and sort of flicking it."

When asked how that made her feel she said: "Disgusted. I think he feels he's in a position of power and he can say and do what he wants. I see it all as quite aggressive, really."

She said it made her consider leaving her job.

"I didn't want to do it anymore. Didn't want to do the production, didn't want to be anywhere near him," she added.

One woman told us she saw him appearing to threaten a young colleague over an ice cream in 2019.

She told us: "I was present when Gino said to the runner, ‘If you don’t get me a Cornetto I will f*** your girlfriend.’

“I felt appalled, disgusted, embarrassed and very angry."

Another female crew member present at the time said the comment "stuck in my head for years... He was using his power to bully and intimidate us. For what? A cookery programme."

So I'm booking this room for a friend and I to hang out and do a pub crawl next week. Think if I should ask if they have a midget in a red leisure suit to rent for the evening as well?
