I think they’re confusing it with Fourecks.

Nice to meet you, Gregório Felipe. 👍
Then it’s the equivalent of 2 Texan cups (or 2 and 4/13ths Federal cups).
Yeah Usenet was crap for binary downloads long before the BitTorrent protocol was invented.
It’s just so under the radar that it continues to plod along.
True.
I agree but I think fundamentally the smart tv hardware is so cheap to bundle in (and gives them hope of revenue) that it probably doesn’t add to the price.
Just set the default HDMI input to something else and ignore.
I know what you mean although, because I get so little time to read, I tend to put that down to me losing track of plots. Particularly with larger books.
Maybe my habit of alternating high fantasy with Discworld books maybe balances out more than I realise.
Good to know the kickstarter books are a bit different too. Will keep that in mind!
I agree. The Wii U was great fun. The second screen was great for off-TV play and for local multiplayer.
Not only was it terribly marketed, but Nintendo had trouble getting the 3DS to sell and put all their energy into saving that. This left the Wii U with a lack of games at launch.
Combine that with EA dropping Nintendo because they refused to adopt Origin as their online platform, and it was doomed from the start, whether the hardware was good or not.
Edit: and the gamepad was more comfortable to hold than the Switch, ironically.
Microsoft were monopoly seeking/abusing pricks in the 80s/90s/00s but I had just about started to accept that maybe they had changed. Accepting open source and open standards, and competing on their merits in the gaming world.
I was wrong. They’re not as powerful as they were 20 years ago but, having seen this email, their tactics seem unchanged.
Nearing the end of Oathbringer (Brandon Sanderson, Stormlight Archive #3).
There’s something about his world-building that’s just brilliant. Shame it takes me 6 months to read each one!
Did you mean PS2? There’s about a decade between N64 and PS3.
Cat shits in garden at night. Dog is in garden during day, eating and rolling in the cat shit.

It’s 1/3 each, between Nintendo, GameFreak, and Creatures.
Whenever anyone in our family say “too long”, my wife will (ok, or sometimes I will) go into a full “Allo Allo” French accent, saying “Ahhhh, Toulon??? Eet eez Toulon, mon ami!”, etc.
Even though the joke has lived well past its shelf life, we can’t resist doing it even though we cringe at the same time.
I suppose you could say that the joke has gone on…
…long enough.
Except when OP is sharing air space with others. Second-hand smoke also kills.
Honestly I think every time I’ve had shrimp, the vast majority have still had the vein.
King prawns are a bit different - at least they’re large enough for deveining to be practical.
Oh absolutely. That’s why I said “a lot of seafood” and not all seafood.
As a kid I was grossed out by ‘the black line’ on shrimp/prawns but these days I don’t care.
I guess wiping baby butts and picking up my dog’s crap has made me a bit more tolerant of these things. :D
Yeah don’t be surprised if you find an old family member under all of that after Christmas.
