New Bike Build Day!

Got out for a very short test run today. Hopefully a shakedown ride tomorrow if the weather's good.

Woohoo!

I have ended up stopping listening to some podcasts that are clearly relying on visual cues because they have pivoted to video.

Podcasts is Radio I choose.
YouToob is TV I choose.
They are different things!
*banging a metal pot with a wooden spoon very loudly*

people want to LISTEN to podcasts!!!!!!!!!!!!

*hitting you on the forehead with the spoon*

STOP PIVOTING TO VIDEO

Gender is a spectrum from just wanting have fun to being back in town, and to varying degrees, each of us contains attributes of both, which is a beautiful thing

Muppets Taks Manhattan was on the TV so we've decided this will be our other action star.

There will definitely be capers.

Seconded! It's not selling out to try and make a living from your creations!
You gotta remember you're offering us a lovely thing you made with your hands, Moose!

You are not the same thing as some AI generated, algorithmically delivered Instagram ad. It's a pleasure to boost you/all the creatives I see on here.

Also open to suggestions of great caper movies.
Planning out Xmas movie viewing. Last year was a lot of Rock and Statham. Need to gender balance it a bit this year. Michelle Yeoh is our first pick, what other woman action heroes should we be looking out for?

That looks like a perfect night.
Well that was a goddamn delightful evening out. Circle Jerks were incredible, the sound was amazing, and the vibe was perfect. After their set, we all watched Repo Man on the big screen. 10/10

It's actually Andor, Rogue One, 4, 5, 6.
The correct order to watch the Star Wars movies is 4, 5, 1, 2, 3, 6. Turns the prequels into essentially an extended Vader backstory flashback sequence.

Looks like things aren't as bad as we thought.

I'm still going to get a new email though.

I did a post-graduate diploma in Multimedia Technology in 2000 and when I was looking for work I helped the careers advisor get rid of 'all the annoying pop up messages on his computer'.

He told me I should find Helpdesk work. A job came up at the company I was temping at the next week.
What’s the lore behind choosing your career path ?

the entirety of human history has actually been manipulation by cats to get them to every corner of earth.

Huh. I never really thought about the connections between animal populations and military campaigns before
