I get told this a lot. Sure, the range of guitar effects is limited if not non-existant, but fortunately they create a sound I like so… I’m glad they all sound the same? I guess.

I think though with Tool the changes are a lot more subtle than people expect, which makes them bad background music. The timing changes, and beats appearing and disappearing every second bar are not so noticeable unless you’re really listening to it.

Agree, but I was think more like the Greek gods. They’re far more interesting.

Fair enough. I find Friends to be incredibly unfunny and can’t stand sitting through a single episode. Frasier, on the other hand, I find to be pretty entertaining (until Niles and Daphne get together, then the wheels start falling off).

There’s a boardgame I would like to get the occasionally shows up on marketplace. Once I get it, it’s account deletion time.

As others have said, it’s not about making it easy, it’s about making it safe. If they’re in a comfortable environment where they can take their time things will work about a lot better. Equating this to a “hookup hotel” is just disingenuous.

I wish I could tell you you’re wrong, but… :(

And if Dutton gets elected this year it will get soooo much worse. Hey, New Zealand is a beautiful place! Maybe I’ll move there too!

Or learn the old “eat the TV before the inspector arrives”.

I guess I’m showing my age, but hopefully enough old folks get it.

Well atoms are pretty small so I’m guessing the user base is already bigger than them.

Got it. It’s more to do with the case of an off-site backup in-case-your-house-burns-down scenario. Thanks.

RAID is not a backup anyhow

Can you expand on that? I have a 2-bay NAS with a RAID 1 (disk mirroring) set up precisely because I thought if one disk fails I have a backup. Is that not how it works?

Looking at me when they’re talking. I don’t care for the politeness of it, just watch the road!

When I was younger I binged a lot of Alistair MacLean. To continue the list with some of my other favourites:

The Satan Bug

The Golden Rendezvous

The Dark Crusader

The Last Frontier

Ice Station Zebra

Fair warning though: he’s quite formulaic and it is not recommended to finish one of his books then start another. Read a couple of books inbetween to give yourself a break.

PR#6

Not to mention Ace Ventura’s too-long scene of showering, burning his clothes, using a plunger to make himself throw up etc. So you kissed someone you didn’t know was trans, grow up.

Boardgames. Especially big, rules heavy games like Mage Knight and Twilight Imperium. I’ll happily spend a day playing a boardgame and my family just don’t get it at all.
