I think my heart just melted a little.

Without a doubt they are up there with Shonen Knife in sheer delightfulness.

I think that would require a modicum of self-awareness.

I'm convinced he's living in an actual sitcom. Like a real-like Truman Show.

57? Wow, something even less successful than Betamax!

I did not know that! If I'm ever in a position to have rats I shall bear that in mind.

That sounds about right. "Is it food or can I play with it?" Delightful creatures.

Yay, dyslexia! I did not even notice the spelling was different. Thank you for pointing that out. Anyway, I still think something pronounced as chirp is an odd choice of name.

I think they're need more of an attention span for that, something those I've met previously haven't been overly-endowed with.

And now I have the bizarre image in mind of someone waiting for a bus to work, only the bus is a sandworm... being ridden by people in business suits... I guess that must be today's episode of "WTF Brain?"

Right people, I think we can all give up and go home, David wins the internet today.

And to think that, not all that long ago, he was a terrified, skinny little starveling.

Those are great for getting useable amounts of power from a very small head of water.

Highly important, I'd say, especially given homemadeness! But also making me feel hungry... and I have neither nachos nor the makings thereof.

That is genius! Although <whispers> I think it's LotR, not The Hobbit. (Yes, I am a pedant - I have pendant that sez so).

I just know a bit about perfumery stuff. The closest I've got to anything kink-related is knowing a few people who are into it. Not very exciting really, sorry!
comment in response to
post
They may say that but in the perfume context it certainly is not, so ner 😜 Besides, the correct pronunciation sounds way more exotic and mysterious and I honestly would have thought they'd go with that given most people probably think kink is rather out of the ordinary.

That does make sense, actually. I'm so totally not an expert on anything weight-lifting related that I never stopped to consider that. Still makes me twitch, though 😆

And it's definitely not pronounced like the noise a bird makes.

Perhaps this is the use-case for that stainless steel straw?

20kg but also 22oz. I love how they make a point of stating it's U.S. made but then hedge on the units.

I've suggestions that it was cleared with the US beforehand, too. Yay. I HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF INTERESTING TIMES DAMMIT! Aargh. Sorry.

That curse has it right about interesting times. I'm tired of interesting, I want to go back to the boring times!

They probably think of disease-spreading sewer monsters, as if all rats are the same. I'd be wary of those, too, but I have zero hesitation when it come to pet rats - every single one I've ever met has been an utter delight.

She looked great before (still a horrible person, mind you). Now she's the Monster Bimbo of Uncanny Valley.

Eminently qualified.

It would have to be one hell of a fibre bundle to affect so many different orgs, though.

While the backhoe is more fun, and it's nearly *always* DNS, I'm gonna go with BGP on this one. And probably be wrong...

I know I shouldn't judge but he has the face of someone who has to look in mirror every morning and tell himself "I am very smart."

I love how there is a subreddit just for torties. The not-my-cat Whiskey, I used to entertain regularly, seemed pretty normal, though she did once bring a baby rabbit into our garden, which backed onto hers. So I had to catch it and put it in a carrier for her humans to release in a nearby field.

Given their track record so far, re. rules and laws, do we honestly believe they're going to limit themselves to where they're legally allowed to operate?

Everything looks to be spelled perfectly correctly. Not a typo in sight.

The Beach Boys were never really my thing but I can certainly appreciate the cleverness of arrangements, the musicianship and production. I defy anyone to say Wilson *wasn't* a musical genius.

Another invertebrate. What a surprise.

Honestly, that made me smile and brought tears to me eyes. I think I needed to hear someone's positive story what with all the bullshit going on. Your brother is clearly thoughtful and wonderful 😊

I don't think it is possible for me to express my agreement strongly enough.

Should I be ashamed for how loudly I laughed at that? 🤣

You are not fucking kidding. I don't think I want to even *try* to imagine the sort of person who not only thinks of this shit but then chooses to put it where other people can see it. WTF is WRONG with people!?

Gah, you meant what /I/ said did. Doh. Ignore me.

It did, yes 😀

You're justifiably furious so I really wouldn't sweat it. We know what you meant and we're right there with you. As someone who's grown up with a love of science I'm horrified by what's happening across the Pond from me. I can't even imagine how hard it's going to be to claw back from this.

True, but if anyone has the might to stand up to this bullshit, it's the Mouse. We take what we can get, I guess.

Looks at game backlog, TBR pile(s) and list of lego ideas I've been meaning to build and proffers damp commiserations.
