I bought a new netbook last year to watch stuff on as my old one from like 10 years ago finally fell apart.

I fucking hate the new Windows so much and I’m not techy enough to change the operating system to something better, so I barely use it as watching stuff on my phone is easier.

These are great till you live somewhere with shitty electric. On the days when my ecig takes 6 hours to charge I can’t cook as the hot plate won’t even turn on. Fucking slumlords.

Inverted World by Christopher Priest is kinda this.

Not going to lecture you, just be aware that is a dangerous amount of alcohol to be regularly consuming.

Have a good weekend and enjoy cooking and that walk with your dad!

If Yodel manages to deliver the books I wouldn’t have ordered had I known they were using bloody Yodel for the delivery, I will be spending the good bits of my weekend reading Harrow The Ninth and Nona The Ninth by Tamsyn Muir, and hopefully catching up on sleep.

The rest of my weekend is going to be spent waiting by the door for Yodel to post their “sorry we missed you!” equivalent through the letterbox, and then catching up on housework.

Hope you have fun with your friend, and if you get a cool lego set post a pic of it/the build!

Fuck, that’s a lot of whiskey. You ok bro?

The iof have been doing this for decades while claiming it was in fact what hamas was doing instead.

Link to Independent article from 20004 about a Palestinian child they handcuffed to their jeep as a human shield

Look up ‘IDF using Palestinians as human shields’ and there are pages of photos and articles about this, 5 children have been used as shield by the iof this year that we know of.

There’s footage of the aftermath of this. Shrouded corpses and mangled body parts stick out of the ground amist piles of dirt and tank tracks. It’s horrific.

“”“Looming famine”“”?! It is already a famine, there is no food in Gaza. There hasn’t been sufficient aid delivered for weeks. Thousands of people flocked to a beach last week for a few hundred bags of flour. Luckier people have been eating animal grain and pet food and that’s running out if not already.

It’s fucking shameful to be part of this species. Every single day it just gets fucking worse. How is this who we are and why is it acceptable?

The iof murdered hundreds of israelis on October 7th by dropping bombs and firing tanks on them. There is literally footage of this you can watch and see for yourself.

The accusation of mass rapes is another piece of shitty propaganda trotted out by israel to further try to discredit Palestinians and Hamas.

Why the fuck would people fighting for the freedom of their illegally imprisoned families, children and friends, detour to have a mass rape (and find 40 babies to behead at an outdoor rave), midway through their plan for aquiring folk for the hostage swap and taking them back to Gaza?

Do you also believe the terrorists called Monday and Tuesday hid their guns in working mri machines? Fucking zionist.

That is a beautiful photo!

Don’t be a bigot. Tall girls are awesome.

*(Also in case you weren’t being a bigot and were instead referring to what it’s really like to work in tech: I do know industry isn’t entierly cat girls in coding socks but most of the computers for career people I’ve known have been, so I choose to believe.)

It involves a lot of tall girls in thigh high socks, sometimes they wear cat ears too. And they do a lot of typing on extra clackity keyboards.

Wow, they really are odd birds! Theory: Pel’s are such an apex predator that they don’t need to be quiet or camouflaged anymore, and moved those points over to looking kinda flash (for an owl) instead?

Also that owl in the third picture looks like a thumb with a suspicious face drawn on it, haha.

Thank you for all the owls, and for looking stuff up to answer all the questions. I really appreciate people with interesting obsessions who want to share what they love with others.

Any idea why it’s so light coloured for a nocturnal owl? That’s an interesting adaptation.
(Guessing it’s nocturnal by the black eyes)

Edit: just remembered Barn Owls are nocturnal too and yet are light coloured. I’ve never actually thought this through before. Evolution is fascinating.

Don’t let him round your kids. He treated you terribly and hasn’t changed, you shouldn’t expose your children to someone like that. It doesn’t matter if he’s your dad.

Eh I’d quite confidently say Farscape is far less problematic than any other show of it’s era and a great many after it.

And humans are not superior in that universe, they once believed they were and evolved into universally hated (but really hot) hyperfascists. Bringing them down was one of the biggest eventual arcs in the show and it wasn’t done by Chriton being superior, he just had wormhole weapon tech in his head that he didn’t want and believed nobody should have.

Chriton is one of the most basic life forms in that part of the galaxy too, he’s barely more sentient than food and it’s mentioned almost once an episode. He gets by by the skin of his teeth and his only real skills are maths and making friends/pissing people off.
(I do like that he also looks like a bit of a gormless idiot too, and testament to the writing and actor as he never comes across as an entitled white boy either.)

Babylon 5 has held up better than DS9 in my opinion, like both are good but B5 is just very clearly much better. The Expanse is fantastic though I agree with you fully there.

(Btw I’m not really arguing with you about anything here, I just wanted to rant about Farscape a little as I love it dearly.)

I wonder if the ‘proof’ is going to be another ‘intercepted phone call’, with two obviously IDF soldiers speaking broken arabic with heavy isreali accents?
Do you think they’ll call each other Sunday and Monday to keep the bit going?
