I don’t think attempting to blow into one of these is going to help matters.

Now I want to have a go at making a goth lasagne.

Now that I’m older I understand an awful lot of what they didn’t explain and am still baffled by stuff they said I’d understand.

Hah, that makes sense.

I’m well aware that there are many different ways to format numbers and currencies - that’s why I asked specifically about those that use the dollar sign.

Is there a country that uses the dollar sign that puts it after the number?

…but I enjoyed him in those movies!

I watched the Mario Bros movie as an adult a few years back and really enjoyed it. It was a fun take on the lore!

The only thing I felt was weak was Dennis Hopper. His performance had strong “I’m too good for this” vibes. Based on the other things I know him from, that’s wildly untrue - it should have been a great fit for him. Chew the scenery and be an arsehole - basically be the Deacon from Waterworld, or the villain from Speed!

I was in the signals corps as a cadet and every time I hear it… grrr…

Over and out!

It’s such a legendary bit of misinformation that it gets an explicit mention on the Wikipedia page!

Incidentally, the carbon-fibre pistol from The Dark Knight isn’t a real thing either 😉

Nope, that’s a line in Die Hard 2 that the armourer hated.

I genuinely would like that. I do not want to use a web controlled by pro-advertiser policies or pearl-clutching daftness.

I’m very much of the opinion of “shit or get off the pot”. If you don’t want to swear, cool, don’t. Censoring it reminds me of all the exhausting nonsense and theatre related to “think of the children” (and more recently, “think of the advertisers”). None of that stuff does a lick of good for anyone, except perhaps the swindlers pushing it.

Fuck everything about that.

I’m somewhat tickled by the snippets of adverts I’ve seen for both Samsung and Apple’s new phones that mention “AI”. None of what I’ve seen has actually explained why it’s a selling point. Classic cart before the horse stuff.

Ultimately I’m not the target market for flagship phones as the price has spiraled out of control to the point where I cannot fathom how it can be justified for such a mundane device.

My daughter is also named Bort.

What are you all doing to your knees?
