I think people are attracted by the extreme Chris Morris name.

It's a half hour drive at *least* with *two* motorways. Which makes the Piccadilly Line's T5 stop handy for Gatwick, I guess.

Well, I have blocked OP, which would indicate there is a reason I blocked OP, which would indicate it's probably nonsense and they have form.

@curvedtoelink If I ever bother actually sorting out a PS emulator it will be for 1/ Bushido Blade 2/ the four-way split screen mad-ass Wu Tang thing

Headphones or nah?
I really properly enjoyed Stop Making Sense for exactly this reason, and the cinema I saw it in was more screening room sized so it was very much like listening in any old room but with a very expensive PA.

@kyleor.land The real problem is Usenet enabled filking and we've never recovered from that.

I was actually just reading about Needham/Reynolds career in yer actual NASCAR after the film, I did not know this. (The "FOYT!!!" joke makes me laugh unreasonably hard every time, I don't know why)

I expect there were a dozen near-identical memos before it and things in the staff handbook saying "only use mission-appropriate comms for your mission."
Main problem we as the public have here is the press reporting all the wrong angles then going away for two years until it happens again.

My god wait until Rob Weir finds out about this.

Time Enough For Love (or indeed All You Zombies - ! (book) / Predestination (film) ) because there isn't enough incest on this podcast

Niven's not-Known-Space novel World Out Of Time where our hero has his corpsicle brain read out of his frozen corpse and implanted into another body (and there are Matrix/Moon-like hints it ain't the first go, too.)
Also Moon (film), obviously.

Also Quarantine where he has the ghost of his ex girlfriend implanted to keep him sane. Suspiciously similar to Joy in the 2049 screenplay, come to think of it ...

The TV model of "we've got someone on who knows what they're talking about, and we need to have a fucking clown on, for balance - are you free?" is an insult to the experts, the audience the subject and - if they had any self-respect - the clowns

Oh yeah I guess it is better for anything that was mixed for two speakers six feet apart which is you know... Everything between 1968 and iPod.

I'm sure it's better than my knowledge of Country!
Apple does spatial - how many tracks on there which actually have a quad or a 5.1 or a binaural actually engineered and mixed? Can't be many. Interesting it's a feature that tempts people.
(I own two - Orb/Gilmour and Yes's Keys To Ascension)

Slightly serious though, at the time I decided to get the hell off Spotify, Deezer was the only one that had good coverage of 90s clubbing genres (jungle and friends) and it's better on Krautrock too. Jungle and hardcore has the problem half of them never made it even onto vinyl, just dubs...

Further to musings about cost of TV in reply to your other skeet, another bit of problem is that the BBC are now awful at leading the conversation. Linear broadcast TV *is* dead to the under 35s and the BBC are right to respond to that, but because the board are such dicks, they now have no voice.

Am considering setting up a bot to reply "Greg Egan" every week but... Greg Egan. Fave dark example is Reasons To Be Cheerful (controls own personality with sliders they visualise) and favourite fun example is Unstable Orbits In The Space Of Lies where he hops between (inevitably quantum) selves

Apple can't afford it either - TV is the only business unit which *loses* money. So some of the issue is that no-one wants to pay for cinema-grade TV but they still want cinema-grade TV.

You listen to proper music with guitars though, I don't hold with that sort of thing

That was the day I realised BlueSky would not be good forever.
