Also a lot of places in Asia had VCDs for decades before there were DVDs, so while many people in Europe probably still split CDs and DVDs even if they'd regard splitting DVD+R and DVD-R as hair splitting, the same is generationally and culturally true elsewhere for 'shiny disc of about that size' and 'CD'.

If the opposing goalkeeper is the one shooting the ball into your goal, either that guy is bullshit good or your team is dogshit bad.

You just reminded me of some football video game I played as a kid, where I did just that. Get the ball to my goalkeeper, and he hoofs it up in one massive arc into the other goal.

Can't remember what it was called now.

The date says today the 23rd of October. It was posted over in the Musk thread just now.

Ian Chung, the man Musk parrots is a South American guy who posts lots of information about America and American politics.

Not on "American Politics" as it pertains to the two continents. But the politics of the USA.
A country he does not live in, nor has he ever visited.

This man (allegedly) just lives in his home and has such (alleged) poor hygiene that it is (allegedly) often overrun by Ants. Allegedly.

And Elon Musk keeps signal boosting and agreeing with this guy all the time.

And he's saying that these days you'll be arrested and thrown in jail, just for saying you're English?

Flag update:

I had one old guy come up to me in town to tell me "Those flags DO NOT go together!" before saying that the EU had condemned 'them'. I sadly forgot to record in 360 mode so only had the rear camera footage. I also need to get an adaptor to connect my external windsocked mic to this setup, but I genuinely wasn't expecting a bite on the first trip out.

Weirdly related for the otherchat, it is for Blu-ray, but not for DVD, because of a perception at the time within the DVD lobby that if SE Asia shared a DVD region with anywhere else on earth every DVD would be on pirate VCD flooding that other region within a week.

it's from a video of a guy holding a union jack being arrested at one of the solidarity with gaza marches a week or so back. right-wing social media frothed themselves up about it for a day or so and then dropped it when the plod clarified:

Or self-selection to describe the act of offloading the labour of the process to the prospective target. Rather than trying to profile likely targets yourself you create a method for them to contact you contingent on their own susceptability to your method.

quote:

A poll conducted by YouGov found a clear majority 76 percent of all voters, and 89 percent of Labour voters, in favour of an immediate ceasefire. Only eight percent of voters and three percent of Labour said there should be none. Starmer’s position is backed by only one percent of his party.

quote:

I am told that non-Muslim members of the Parliamentary Labour Party are in "complete panic" over the scale of the response they are getting from mosques, community centres and the public. MPs are getting thousands of individually written emails, which is unheard of on a single issue.

There is so much anger in the community that mosques are refusing to see MPs. Lammy was allowed to go into one mosque, but he will want to quickly forget the reception he got.

For three hours last week, Lammy’s surgery phoneline was jammed with calls about Gaza. Another "blockade" of Lammy’s phone line is planned for next Tuesday.
