Family stuff, music stuff, techie stuff, Oxford commas, and total nonsense. Not always in that order. All posts are my own views, except when they are also yours. Child of the 1980s.
What I love about this meme is that either character could be speaking and it still works.

The kilograms thing is admittedly a false equivalence, but I use it to demonstrate how “10 items” feels in my head. It may not feel the same in yours, and this is interesting. As I say, it’s arguable, but I’ve picked my side and will stand my ground. 😀

I continue to care about the distinction. I would always choose to say “I have fewer items than you.” But I would equivalently say “I have less shopping than you”. In my head, “10 items” binds to a quantity that dilutes countability, and I instinctively lean towards “less”. But point taken.

I resent how I'm unjustly made to feel the embarrassment that he seems incapable of feeling. And yet he wins elections, so - to quote Mr. Simpson - what are ya gonna do? 🤷‍♂️

Wow, this disc is in my collection. I've just been scanning my shelves for it, which took a while because it's filed in an unusual place due to the irregular packaging size. I haven't played it for years. I'm rarely in the mood to hear the whole work. But I remember it being very good.

You didn't dream it. We tried them. I have to say I thought they were awful.

Just re-watched this myself, and I'll never tire of it. The scene where the Devil's Tower appears in the TV news report can still make my heart skip several beats, even though I've seen it a hundred times. The power of great storytelling!

It will be AI that does the analysis, I can practically guarantee it.

And a great score! The funeral procession at the beginning is especially memorable.

Was this Dracula, Prince Of Darkness by any chance? Love that film. One of my Hammer faves, despite the notable absence of Cushing.

Nobody knows who won last season, because the engraving on the trophy is unreadable.
