Luke Perry is on the show Riverdale. I like that show and he was one of the lead cast members, so I wonder how they'll handle him being gone. Bring in a replacement or write the character out of the show?

Kylie Jenner is the youngest ever self-made billionaire, at age 21.  Beat out Zuck by two years.

Just arrived in Edinburgh for a short visit. Weather here seems to be nicer than back home at the moment.

I had a minor medical procedure yesterday morning and they gave me two lots of local anaesthetic, wtf I spent the rest of the day overcoming the nausea, resorted to walking around the area to work off the effects, a wasted day. 

I should  have insisted on not having them and put up with a few minutes of pain.

Would one dose have been better?  Why did they give you two?

It is a very tricky thing to judge.  Everyone reacts differently.  They walk a line between too little causing too much pain and too much having the effects you suffered.  But I am with you, if I am having local I tell them I can put up with some mild pain and discomfort.

Indeed, my fault for not insisting.

To Derspiess, two different places.

Brilliant, just brilliant:

New summer rail timetables set for May

New summer train timetables will come into force on 19 May, with 1,000 services added to relieve overcrowding.

Rail bosses will be hoping that the introduction will be more successful than last year's fiasco, when a similar exercise caused severe disruption on the country's train network.

Can't they announce these things many more months in advance before tickets on the existing timetable even go on sale?
Pff.

So the kitchen ceiling caved in.  There appears to be a leak in the roof.

Pretty interesting use of self made there.

Not really.  Nothing about her is really that interesting, except her exceptional skill at monetizing being famous merely for being famous.

I'd suggest that means she has a fair amount of business acumen. People have been elected President for less.

So she should definitely run next eligible time?
