Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 3rd July 2026

3rd July, 2026.

OK … it’s a Friday … !

And, yes: I’ve had another dose of Mounjaro.

So?

That’s that done for another week.

I’ve also got to head into town: to pick up a couple of things from my pharmacist.

Frankly … ?

My life is a huge mass of adventure, excitement and really wild things.

~≈💊≈~

I follow the technology news: and am something of a Mac fan.

And am very aware Sony have announced that they won’t be releasing games on physical media from 2028.

My nephew, Jude … ?

Doesn’t like that idea, either, before you ask!

At any rate, given the trend away from physical discs?

A recent Apple announcement — that they will be removing DVD support from the upcoming version of macOS — shouldn’t be surprising.

I’m … 

Disappointed … 

And wondering how this will affect a couple of apps I use on a regular basis.

But … ?

It’s not actually surprising … 

~≈📀≈~

Let’s move on.

“I don’t care what you say about me, as long as you say something about me, and as long as you spell my name right.”

George M. Cohan, July 3, 1878 – November 5, 1942.

And a Cheo Feliciano song …

The next 10 question sets are on 4th, 5th, 11th, 13th and 30th July: they’re about Independence Day, Nemesis the Warlock, World Horse Day, “I Don’t Like Mondays” and the Beano.

Your comments, and today’s answers, will be published in tomorrow’s Teaser.

AI is avoided when writing these questions.

Decisions about scores are final.

Thank you for coming: have a good day.

*        Hello, Mum!   (It was Germany, Azerbaijan and ‘No’, Mum, rather than Austria, Armenia and ‘Yes’.)

†        I’m saying nothing, Debbi: except he’s the last president I’d’ve wanted in charge for the big event.
