Seemingly trivial things that elicit an emotional response of some kind

Yes, you and your friends Norman and Derek can go to the pub to enthuse about warm beer you can discuss how great Linux is, how it's amazing no-one knows, because it doesn't get hacked or viruses (because no one of note has anything worth hacking on a Linux system).

Are you saying it's a bit of a geek thing?

It is a niche for idealistic geeks with no appreciation of the overwhealming commercial need to seemlessly confirm to what all customers and competitors are using in the real world. Mostly these geeks reside in the university sector.

Joshing with the lady in the Post Office about returning two (crap) laptops to Amazon in as many weeks cheered me up.

Unlike the weather. Can I return that to Amazon too?

My friends are not called Norman and Derek, I will have you know 😂

It does actually cheer me up when I get a sensible parking place near my house (and not where it's likely to be washed by a high tide), and I can disconnect the battery because the next time I'm likely to be going to have to move the car is a couple of months away – at the moment, the next time will be for its MOT in April.
