LMAO at the Dr. Who answer. I would guess it would be some song that was a worldwide club hit that also got mainstream radio play. Something like Blue (Da Ba Dee) or Gangnam Style (I have no idea if these songs were actually worldwide club hits).

Hyperlynx posted:Seriously, I bet more people know the Doctor Who theme than Sandstorm or anything by Daft Punk, by at least an order of magnitude. The thing about this is that you're probably only going to be exposed to it if you're intentionally looking for Doctor Who, or around people who are watching Doctor Who. You don't just randomly hear it. 'Get Lucky', on the other hand, got fairly significant radio play, so you never had to seek it out to hear it. I heard it randomly all the time, despite never once seeking it out.

Huh. I genuinely had no idea Doctor Who wasn't completely universal. And I've never even watched it myself. I just thought it permeated pop culture, like other long-running sci fi shows

It could be more popular in Australia, or it could be more popular among the people you know just because of shared hobbies and interests.

This is my go to whenever I hear about well known electronic, but I don't know if it counts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5G1FmU-ldg My personal one would be Temple of Dreams - Messiah which I must have heard as I was falling asleep while the radio played every night so ended up being permanent part of my brain make up at this point and I was humming it without knowing what it was and finally was able to put it together with various google searches.

This is lacking those random moments where the song suddenly gets really quiet as if someone is picking up the phone and getting your hopes up that you're getting close to finishing the call.

If you're old as balls like yours truly, you might remember "Doctorin' the Tardis" which was pretty popular at the time (1988). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DsAVx0u9Cw4 They played it all the time at my university's pub (in Canada) so the reach of Dr Who maybe extends further than the most turbonerd Brits.

Bicycle or motorcycle? A good lock should be pretty obvious . For motorcycles they also make disc brake locks so you can't just roll them away. Some of them also have a motion sensor so if you shake the bike the alarm goes off. Most motorcycles these days also have fork locks. Even for bicycles these days you can get a vibration alarm that just runs on batteries so if someone tries to move the bike and alarm goes off.

Edit: I know nothing about this alarm, it was just the first one I grabbed off Amazin

I have bike insurance and it's been really helpful the past couple times. The flat folding locks are supposed to be pretty good, as they are much harder to sever with bolt cutters. Abus is a decent brand. Otherwise, just make your bike a less attractive target compared to all the others. Wrap the lock around light posts and other stationary objects. Give it a lovely spray paint powder coat and some scratches. Some folks remove the seat and take it with them, up to you if that's worth the effort. E: this is coming from a country where everybody bikes, might be different in North America. Biggest danger in my neighbourhood is drunk people kicking bike tires until they bend, but that's because I live close to a football stadium.

Lockpicking Lawyer says that where you put your bike is more important then any lock you can get as they are all various levels of trash to anyone who actually wants your bike.

Platystemon posted:Ride a junk bike. This is the real answer. Otherwise, get several U locks and make them as tight as possible to whatever you’re locking the bike to so someone can’t get a crowbar wedged in there. Better yet, take it inside when and where you can. If it gets stolen, keep an eye on Craigslist and Facebook marketplace for the next few days as there basically a 100% chance it will show up. Say you want to buy it, tell the cops you’ve found your stolen bike and you’re going to go get it, and try to get them arrested (or don’t tel the cops and just go take your bike back). There was a Radiolab about a dude who did this for fun and he was wildly successful. Don’t get shot.

Best is to keep it inside if you can, but I assume that isn't an option.

Also check your local law enforcement, some have a program where you register the serial number, increases the odds it'll come back to you. Doesn't make them good odds or anything, but worth a try.

BaronVanAwesome posted:When the Harlem Globetrotters "played" the Washington Generals around/near Washington, did they temporarily name them something else? They’ve had a bunch of other names over the years, but usually just one for each season. It’s possible that during the 1971–1972, when they had five names and alternated between them, one of the non-local monikers was strategically selected. Otherwise, I don’t think so. They had one set of uniforms and stuck with it.

There was an English electronic duo who played a set at coachella this year, in a big tent. I remember they nailed it but I can't remember who they were, does anyone know who I'm talking about? Not Disclosure but kind of similar I guess, a bit more of a house-y vibe with some pop thrown in.

A good bike lock is going to look something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iaj6Hh2kr9E They're going to be expensive, because the only ways to resist cutting attacks are good materials and sheer size. The big concern with a lock like this is to make sure you're not locking your bike down to something that's trivial to cut. A $100 lock with a 3/4" hardened steel shackle isn't going to be much of a deterrent if you lock it to a lovely bit of railing that's trivial to cut.

The problem with bike locks is never going to be cutting (unless the cable is incredibly cheap), it's the fact that someone with any sort of knowledge can pick the lock in like 10 - 30 seconds. The consensus is either deal with having cheap bikes stolen and never leaving an expensive bike, or pick the best places to leave them where there are environmental factors that keep someone from trying to get at the lock (out in the open, good lighting, etc).

often I'll see a joke riffing on a meme that's like a poem format almost but im not sure the original source it goes like "I wanted to eat the strawberries with which you wanted to keep but it was soft to the touch" weird I know, I can't remember the exact wording which makes this hard to describe, but the joke is to take something someone wrote and format it like it's a haiku
