Yeah my brother used to hold me down and fart directly into my mouth, it made me the goon I am today. E: also, since I know everyone was waiting for an update on my decking project, this is the fruits of a few days of me labouring in a heatwave, during which I also got first COVID jab. Gruelling. Boards laid in the superior groove-down style naturally.  (Say hi to Rosie for good luck) Failed Imagineer fucked around with this message at 21:25 on Jul 25, 2021 |

Any idea why they're getting hit harder than most, if they are? Smaller warehousing space perhaps? Waitrose is one of my customers and I know they've massively expanded their holding space for non perishables.

Depends more on the store, I think, than the brand. Especially if it was put into an older building, they often keep whatever warehouse space was there. Also some stores in particular just get worse than others, I don't know if the head offices are rationing deliveries or possibly if they are last on the list for a route and sometimes they get missed.

If you punch the bumhole right as the fart comes out then the farter will die of internal fart. It happened to someone at my school I heard.

OwlFancier posted:Depends more on the store, I think, than the brand. Especially if it was put into an older building, they often keep whatever warehouse space was there. Central warehousing for Waitrose is what they've expanded. Stores are pretty shafted. New ones are built with minimal holding area which is why you see so many trolleys full of stock in the aisles. The issue they have now is that they're running at about 50% of the required number of drivers. Also this is a spectacular own goal already given the poo poo Labour HQ have pulled last week. https://twitter.com/AngelaRayner/status/1419401878048280576

New ones are built with minimal holding area which is why you see so many trolleys full of stock in the aisles. I guess yeah if you have a chain that actually pays for new stores or major renovations, a lot of the places I visit have been there for decades and even if they renovate they can't change the fundamental structure of the site, so floor/warehouse space is fairly set in stone, all they can do is play with layouts. Have still noticed some particular trends between sites in the same chain though, definitely seems like some are better supplied than others which I assume is rationing drivers to higher throughput or easier to access stores, while the ones in the boonies get shafted.

Adolf Glitter posted:Nope. I haven't even clicked, but the music will still be in my head when I wake up. Approx where is the Clangers bit if you can remember? I don't want to watch an hour!* Ed: ok now I started watching it. I'll put in on my 'watch later' list for later in the week! I enjoyed the Clangers. There was one where a machine fell onto the planet and started making hundreds of plastic things and wouldn't stop. Quite environmentally aware but then I supposed Rachel Carson's "Silent Spring" about environmental problems was published in the 60s (I admit I have never read it). I guess there's a tendency to think concern for the environment and consumerism are a new thing but they're not, thinking of Fred Pohl's "The Midas Touch" from the 1950s - only those of high status get to be allowed not to have to buy things. When my niece was very young (maybe 2 or 3) we would watch the Clangers together and she would figure out what they were saying from the whistling!

Here's the specific part in case anyone wants it. On re viewing, it is actually more about voting, and the weakness of political parties to help society. It maybe better explains my 80s anarcho-punk years. Either way, it's a total lol imagining anything even close on tv now, let alone on kids tv. I strongly suggest a full watch though. It's not just some sentimental shite. Those Timeshift shows are generally good, even when I don't have any interest in the subject. I'm a dyed in the wool Goon, and as cynical and dour as they come, but I had a soppy smile on my face watching this (yet) again 41.50 if the timestamp doesn't work. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6UBXH_MuSwU&t=2510s

Inasmuch as any olympic sport that isn't based on propelling things over distances or in specific places, sometimes with a time limit, is a sport. Broadly the idea of skateboarding I think is to traverse from A to B in as impractical and flashy a way as possible, much like gymnastics.

Yeah, the IOC sold the rights to Discovery+ , so most of it is paywalled by a service I’d literally never heard of. Seems like a pretty spectacular own goal by the IOC in the long term, as you’d imagine that advertisers and sponsors are not gonna be happy that most of the general public are gonna miss a bunch of coverage. It’s difficult to get Olympic fever if all you’re watching is highlights, and I imagine viewing figures are gonna drop off as interest was already fairly low this year anyway.

Grey Hunter posted:I saw that this morning. What I saw was the men's and I'd say it's cool. You can tell it's different from other Olympic sports (for now) coz when anyone does something impressive he gets high fives and fist bumps which is nice. The action definitely benefits from slo-mo replay where you get to properly appreciate all the nuances but honestly my favourite part is hearing the commentator talk about fakie back nose grind 180 and whatever because it's amusing to me hearing all this poo poo from the Tony Hawk games at the Olympics My favourite moment of the tournament so far was catching the end of the women's cycling road race yesterday over breakfast. Austrian woman won it from the breakaway and as she crossed the line the commentator explains that's Austria's first summer games gold since Athens. Then he pauses a bit before saying "in 1896". Delivery is perfect

Grey Hunter posted:I saw that this morning. I've not watched the women's event yet, but from what I understand they asked to be graded in exactly the same way as the men's event rather than have it recalibrated. The women, generally, can't do as big/impressive tricks so everything was really weirdly scaled back and the scores were much lower.
