It's your own bloody fault.


I missed it in the cinema (threw a hissy-fit over the terrible website of the local cinema and swore never to watch a movie there)

I very carefully avoided reading or watching anything that might give away the plot for all the time until it came out on disc. It was with great excitement and anticipation that I put it on the TV tonight.


and....


Good god, it is a such a dull movie. At least Question of Sport had some good explosions in it.


EDIT: this imdb review sums it up so well:

quote:

This is the worst Bond movie ever, filled with emotionless characters that I couldn't care less about. The pace of this film after a predictably exciting start is slow and boring. Unlike his fellow actors, Ben Whishaw as Q manages to portray the only believable human in this whole fake production. Why couldn't JB have been given a touch of Q's wit, humour or vulnerability? No wonder Daniel Craig wants out of this franchise - it's beneath his talent. Such a cacophony of totally forgettable dialogue, people and silly stunts is hard to imagine in a single movie and yet here it is. During one of the 'action' fights when James was being hammered by the evil assassin I noticed the person next to me had fallen asleep and was snoring. That person was an exceedingly eloquent critic.

Spectre also has the dullest unremarkable car chase in recent memory. Everyone phoned it in for the movie to finish out their contract I guess.

I don't understand why everyone hates spectre. It's the greatest, most exciting, Bondest film we have gotten since Die Another Day. Seriously, I love Craig as bond, but everything else about his movies has been dull, disappointing, garbage. Except for Spectre, which was god damned amazing.

I can't speak to the compact but the regular Z3 has been fantastic. The only time I appreciate the screen size is when watching youtube videos. The rest of the time I kind of wish it were smaller.

I won't be using it until later this month, but I'll post a trip report. In the meantime I'm on an 8" standard memory foam mattress with a down topper, which sleeps hotter than I'd like but it fine if the room is kept reasonably cool. The new mattress is gel foam, which is supposed to wick away heat better, so fingers crossed for that. I'm also digging around for decent percale sheets, which are supposed to keep cooler than other weaves.

Which gen HTC One are you replacing? I've been using my M8 for exactly two years this month and it is kind of falling apart (case is bent), it's slow as hell, but it still works great.
I've been considering replacing it, but I cannot make up my mind between a small Android replacement (like the Sony Experia Z5, unfortunately not available for Verizon) or a larger one like a Galaxy Note so I can get rid of my tablet, also getting old.
I guess as long as the M8 keeps ticking, I'll use that.

You know what's fun? When your fridge gives up the ghost in the afternoon and you spend a few hours working on it just to find out the part that broke would take a week to replace so you just order a new fridge to be delivered tomorrow. Every cloud has a silver lining I guess: it's Winter but not that cold so all the poo poo will keep over night on the veranda.


I'm the müsli in the freezer section, by the by. I'm also the open jug of milk that's going to absorb all the aromas from the other foodstuffs.

That's the most popular configuration and size in Finland :shrug: It's called a yankee fridge for some reason. 184l fridge, 44l freezer. I live alone so I could've gone for a smaller one.

e: It's a Rosenlew RJPK2600 which is kind of like Atari 2600 so it must be the best.

Gotcha. In that case, it's just the name that's confusing.

If my math is right, that's about 8 cubic feet, which is about half what an average apartment has in the states, and a third the size of what I have in my kitchen.

How much does a fridge like that pull? This one's rated for 227 kWh which isn't terrible* (it's only class A+ because A++ are usually a lot louder).

*) Terrible for a fridge but you have to account for the freezer as well.

Where do you keep your seven different kinds of mustard?

The fridge in our rental is making a noise that is like....whatever comes before a death rattle. I kinda hope it dies so I have an excuse to buy a super fridge and just take it when I leave.

The only condiments I have are a bottle of sriracha (:goonsay:) and a bottle of "Greek" (Swedish) garlic sauce. They go really good together on fries :yum:

American fridge / freezer combos are usually 16 - 30 cubic feet and pull about 600 - 800 kWh of freedom a year

With 8 cubic feet, how do you drop $150 at Costco to cover 2 weeks of groceries at a time?

For real I think a smaller fridge would cut down on the amount of food that we waste just by forgetting what is in there, but I was not kidding about the mustards. I also really want a dedicated beer fridge so I can keep beers around 45-50, but I can't find the space for it.

45-50 beers sounds like a good amount to keep around.

I'm Asian and and know lots of Asian people and eat at Asian restaurants all the time. I have never even heard of anyone putting sriracha in the fridge. It basically keeps itself from spoiling with the spices or whatever.
