to be honest i was on the flat roof side but then twisto pitched his (flat roofed) tent and I had to oppose. 263 degrees is probably not far off what an actual flatroof is.

Well, my little night out could have gone better. The main takeaway, is I had a brisket doner on the way home. It looks like a pile of dog poo poo, but tastes like a pike of unicorn poo poo. Baby.

Craig Murray failed candidate vetting to be an SNP MP in 2015. Which, when you look at some of the roasters who succeeded is really something. He's been very salty about it ever since. keep punching joe fucked around with this message at 09:26 on Jul 31, 2021 |

We had that gravel covered/blowtorched on roof felting on the houseboat. We'd get different leaks depending on where the wind was coming from. The one thing I don't miss about the boat is the worry that this time my computer was going to get rained on.

Ah, that explains the weird vibe I was getting from the people talking about this case - I knew something was up because they were all just saying "JAILED FOR WHISTLEBLOWING JUST LIKE ASSANGE" without even *suggesting* what his supposed journalism was. TBH I assumed it was something transphobe-y just based on the people involved, but weirdo Salmond truthers and their particular mix of nationalism and misogyny also fits.

Aren't flat roofs also really bad if you get any serious amount of snow? That thing we seem to be getting more of every year.

Flat roofs are waterproof right up until the drainage goes wrong, we had one built on the correct angle with the drainpipes and whatnot and then it settled and the angle went squiffy which caused multiple issues over the years. The real problem is the bastard cold, you don’t have a loft to fill with insulation so the snow settling on top will turn that room into an icebox.

I'd love every author (living or dead) to take a giant poo poo on every GC TERF's head and leave JK all alone (with her billions). I love the thought that these deluded cultists are hanging on the every word and thought of their imagined GC leaders until they discover that they're not a bigot. At which point they turn on them and try to tear them apart like the otters in South Park.

I really can't imagine someone who likes pratchett's work and is also a big terf. Just extremely bizzare and sad to run around trying desperately to think of famous people you don't give a poo poo about but who would totally like your lovely ideas. Unbelievably pathetic to need that sort of validation for your lovely worldview.

He even made one of the most beloved characters in the series (nobby) a drag queen, an arc that developed and carried on through the whole watch series if you watched for it.  . “Morris dancing”Children and gender was brought up twice with two children described as being of indeterminate sex in hogfather and wintersmith, and he made his views clear on gender roles being bullshit with Equal Rites (his third book).

He was probably the first sorta-mainstream author to draw a line between gender identity and gender roles with the whole "dwarves are socially genderless but if they choose to present themselves in a certain way then use their proper pronouns, dickhead" thing. e: ^ yeah that

I was like 15 when I read Monstrous Regiment and it was the first time I really thought about gender roles. Learned a lot of stuff from Pratchett without realising it at the time.

Borrovan posted:Discworld does not translate to TV well, since you can't have Pratchett talking you through the whole thing. Yeah, I went into The Watch expecting to hate it utterly. Instead it kind of ruled? loving loved the steam/cyberpunk-with-emphasis-on-punk aesthetic and music. Also female Vetinari worked in a way I really didn’t expect it to, though the wife and I are still trying to figure out what exactly is going on there, given all the explicitly male art and propaganda on display and the use of male pronouns some (but not all) of the time - is the character keeping their gender secret from the city at large? Are they trans/gender fluid? Or is it that the Patrician is a ‘male’ role so that the person in it is referred to as male when discussing their rank/position regardless of how they present? Also Cheery was loving /awesome/ and not ashamed to admit that Angua became an ‘agreed exception’ for the both of us. Also communist goblins. gently caress I want to watch it again now. Tbh i almost think the show would have been more popular if they’d completely filed off the Discworld stuff. There would certainly have been less negative coverage.

It definitely wouldn't have been made if it weren't for the Discworld connection because television is somehow even more craven and risk-averse than cinema.

I was watching Peep show the other day and remembered how much of an absolute mega melt Robert Webb is. I don't know how I missed this cancelling he had a while ago- I know he's completely ferally against working class people but did he not come for sanitation workers on twitter and got ratio'd? I just want the tea on this so I can laugh about what a dick he is. https://twitter.com/arobertwebb/status/756867648948936706?lang=en

The first two Discworld games had the most insane puzzles in any point n click game. Everyone memes about the cat hair moustache thing in Gabriel Knight 3 (or whichever) but that whole sequence is like step one out of five in the easiest puzzle in the first Discworld game.

Going Postal is the only adaptation that worked for me, probably due to its standalone nature (it's a good story even if you don't know the Discworld), excellent casting (Andrew Sachs RIP) and getting the tone kind of right-ish. I might have to check out the Watch thing that I've been avoiding...
