That's to help guide the sniper from across the street.

You've been playing way too much GTA ...

I've got to finish the final Last Dose mission - the truck got blown up on the way back to the city when I tried it pre-Covid - but I haven't got the enthusiasm.

Should be an easy mission.
Make sure you go get the reward car, otherwise once it disappears off the map, you won't get it again unless you re-do the mission.

I've played just the once, and I was concentrating on landing the transport plane at a silly airport like Sandy Shores - only to find that landing was a cut scene ... 
The police weren't difficult, but the choppers blew the heck out of the lorry on the way to town.
Generally I haven't been impressed by Drug Wars - there's just too much that's soooo familiar. Doubt I'll play them again once I'm done.

And here I thought driving back home was the easy part - the police part at the airfield isn't too hard, just tedious. It just goes on for way too long.

I think the consensus is that Drug Wars turned out to be a dud. And total cringe.

And if I never have to listen to Dax again, I'll be happy.

Add English Dave to it ...
You talked me into it: I tried again. Trivial, don't know how I found it hard the first time - under ten minutes from "go to the plane" to "here's a car".
Which means ... I don't have to do them again!

English Dave was annoying, but I've completely forgotten about him as he stops calling after the last mission he wants you to do for him. So...I haven't heard a peep from him in many years.

I have a small piece of note paper covering the three LEDs on my keyboard. The lights are only ever on when I hit a wrong key anyway.

We got married in Georgia...or was it Tahoma? Not sure I was drugged and dragged and woke up just in time for the vows.

It was a military wedding.
Well, ... there were guns there, let's put it that way!

Besides, typing code is nothing like typing prose. If you spend more time writing documentation than coding, then maybe that's a benefit, but you don't, do you?

Yeah I'm finding that out.

You've done well. My keyboard hasn't had W, E, R, T, I, O, A, S, D, F, G, K, L, C, V, N, M, < or > for years. Actually that was a useful exercise, hitting all the "blank" keys - I was wondering what some of them did.
Really limits my choices for variable names though, especially since I've not seen a vowel (except U) since 2019.
And there's a long key at the bottom that I don't think ever was labelled in the first place...

Don't know if I am repeating, but any bright blue LED's will cause problems with human sleep over time.
Scientific proof.
So avoid them. Not so bright, not so much.
I have very dim blue backlight on my temporary keyboard
another reason for shopping around for new one.

My computer stays in my office, and I don't sleep there (except during Teams calls).
