Great news. Keeps all the southern wankers from coming up to the lake district and complaining that it's wet there.....

Are the cuts from packaging different then?

Never heard of cardboard cuts.....

That's a shame. Although living in that van all those years probably didn't help.

I'm trying to coin the phrase distopia.

To make it clear we're talking about this dystopia we're living in now.

I'm also open to it meaning a world where everyone's disses are completely on point.

Yep nice but of classic projection.

Mine keeps telling me, angrily, how angry I am. Yet I want absolutely zero to do with her and avoid her at all cost.

There's a word missing. Should read "each sober person would have to fight off over 3 million penguins".

It's quite an achievement to be a drug taking dickhead for nearly 40 years!

Wouldn't shooting them into Jupiter be the easiest?

I'm sure I've read a few things about what an impact that big bugger has on trajectories in our solar system.

Intuitively I feel like a push towards Jupiter would be easier than a push to get all the way out of the solar system avoiding Jupiter.

Ah my old friend, the superior siege weapon.

Far too much does this now and it's a short term win, long term loss.

Die hard fans of the material maybe enjoy it for a bit but then get sick of it. New people won't get into it as huge chunks of it are meaningless to them.

My understanding is that current atomic clocks work on changing the state of whole atoms.

Whereas this new method changes the state of part of the nucleus of an atom.

Basically smaller is more precise. However given that current atomic clocks are one second out over something like a billion years I've no idea what benefit this extra preciseness will give us.

We'll probably start noticing really weird shit when we look at time that precisely. That's generally what's happened when we get into the quantum scale of things.

The balance of this doesn't surprise me. The shift between book and film is quite heavily based on gender.

The books were certainly much more male character based and the films evened it up a bit more. Although obviously still not even.
