I'm autistic, I've never done this gesture. Everyone's different, of course, but I've never seen anyone at all do this by accident. I've seen the defence that it's a "from my heart to yours" gesture, but if that was true, it would be palm up. Palm up is the giving gesture. Palm down is a saluting gesture.

The Breen is something you need the moral support of others to watch. I traumatised a colleague by making him and another friend watch Twisted Pair with me. I watched two Breens alone after that, since the other two refused to watch any more with me, and it was painful.

"I'm not seeing another psychiatrist. I'm not. I'm not seeing another psychiatrist. I'm not seeing another psychiatrist. I'm not."

(Is that lines from a Breen film, or my reaction after watching a Breen film?)

They maintain the Breen is a troll, but I think he's got delusions of grandeur and really thinks he's making these deep masterpieces.

I don't know, though. I'm someone who gave up on Linux Mint because I just couldn't get it to work properly. I wouldn't say I'm tech inclined. I used a button phone until 2022. I only got a smartphone because my sim stopped working with my Nokia. The only issue I had with Lemmy was the sign up (it was during the reddit exodus so the sign ups weren't going through, but I'm glad cos I nearly joined ml).

Mastodon was easy as heck to join. I got a friend to sign up, no issues, and he has no idea what the fediverse even is.

I had the mastic ones once. It tasted like houseplant mixed with ointment. I just let the guys at work hate-eat it.

Other Turkish delight flavours are nice.

What you on about? Rats are known for their intelligence.

Edit: unless you mean the sort found in certain branches of McDonald's.

The only time I could see it as white/gold was the first few times I watched this video: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xLxVZ8W-aHY

It's been a while, maybe I'll try again.

Edit: nope, doesn't work anymore. Maybe it was the smaller phone I used back then that helped.

Not enough of the right kinds of deaths, you mean.

I love the irony of "not stopping determined British residents from crossing the channel" bit. Stop the boats! Stop the boats! Farage not up for a bit of target practice anymore?

The high ground was just a ruse. Obi Wan has the advantage on the low ground. Vs Maul and Grievous, he attacked from below. Taunting Anakin about the high ground was just to make Anakin try to get the high ground so Obi Wan could attack from below. Which he did.

Attacking from the low ground in melee combat is advantageous as you can just go for the ankles, as my niece figured out very early on when we used to play lightsaber battles. She'd insist I stand on the bed, and she'd slice off my ankles, it's over, Auntikin, I have the low ground, haha.

Nope, I don't think I'd ever heard of it prior to the Arthur version.

We did the fall of Icarus in Year 3. My little sister learned Theseus and the Minotaur when she was around the same age, which is how I knew about it. Other than that, I don't remember studying Ancient Greek anything, not even Heracles. Your school was obviously better than mine.

 

 

It's bike spokes, I swear.

What was your favourite moment of the game?

Any recommendations? I don't know if I want to splash out on something expensive. I was thinking of getting some cheap tat to act more as a deterrent, but then I thought, what if I actually need the footage? My commute is pretty short, but the amount of drivers who are happy to risk my life to shave 5 seconds off their journey is a problem.

Would any £5 cheapo camera make drivers think twice before trying to run me into the kerb or am I better off getting a decent quality camera? I'm cool with refurb/second hand.

 

It seems like it might be official, but it's hard to say. The video uploads are the same 360p, so maybe it's just another fan channel.

It does have most of the episodes, as well as many songs!

 

I have a friend who's really into them, so I thought it would be a nice surprise if I could learn one of their songs for him. I'm just not familiar with their catalogue, so does anyone have any suggestions for where to start? My level is "advanced noob" :)

Not his first attempt, but I want to do whatever I can to encourage him to stay on the wagon this time. I don't have any experience of this, so I'd appreciate any tips from those who have been there already.

Edit 02/10: he's still clean!

Wow, the difference in quality between the Squier and the Donner is incredible. It just feels so much smoother to play, I don't get the rattle and it just sounds and feels better overall. I'm confused by the reviews comparing the Donner to a p-bass. There's no comparison. I'm so glad I finally got my hands on my mini! It looks like a doll's toy next to the standard scale though!

Oh and added bonus, the tone dial actually does something.

I'm still having trouble offloading my Donner. I can't even trade it in.
