It's Friday night, it's cold outside and I'm still working on that whole social life thing, so here's a long rambly thread about the 15-pin PC gameport and its historical significance, because it's something I want to practice writing about at length (if anyone was silly enough to give me a PhD for something, it'd be for this nonsense).

Feel free to mute this thread if that's not your thing - or if it is, bookmark it for later, or prepare to be en-knowledge-ified!

As a junior doctor I spent 6 month working in an obstetrics and gynaecology department. Part of my job was assisting in theatre with the elective C-sections. I would often be the first person to touch the new born baby so I would always "boop their snoot" and wish them well.

What I think could be cool would be generating something like this kind of departure board where there's a list of all the stations it calls at
Because that way it'd be generating a bunch of names in one go and thusly increasing the chances of a funny one
But my bot code is not sophisticated enough to do that yet alas

one thing i thought about doing was making like fake departure boards with them

a while ago i made a UK train station name generator but could never figure out anything good to do with it. it didn't seem interesting enough to just post the names out as-is
