forkboy84 posted:I have a Logitech that cost about £15 and works fine. Wish it had shortcut keys for skipping tracks on Winamp along with the Play/Pause button but guess I'll live with alt tabbing out of my mapgame to skip a song I'm not in the mood for. What's your current mapgame of choice? Over lockdown some friends and I have been playing Civ 5 using a slightly fancier than PBEM system. A game takes about 6 months. It's the strangest mix of relaxing and infuriating. You only play for 5-10 minutes a day, maybe every other day, and after the early game flurry it's a lot of "load the save, press next turn" but when an ally's inevitable betrayal happens you get to watch the knife slide between your shoulder blades in slow motion.

sinky posted:Won't see someone in person if they have starved to death after getting their benefits cut / died for lack of access to safe abortion. Yeah that's the point I was clumsily aiming for. Once it's at the scale of "benefits for the disabled" then it's an abstract concept to your average Tory and that's where they fall back to their prejudices and call it common sense

The letters TV Licensing send are shittily designed to look like final bill demands / debt collectors notices etc. This can be a source of anxiety to many people, me included. The trick is to look on the back of the envelope on the flap, see the return address is in Darlington and throw it in the bin without opening.

Noxville posted:The same rumour goes around here too (Bradford) so I guess it makes sense that it makes it as far as Keighley too. No clue if there's any truth whatsoever to it but I know Bradford does have a lot of drug use, and random fireworks at all times of the year I heard the fireworks in Bradford were for weddings (occasionally they're close enough to Halifax for me to hear them) I've also heard the drug rumour but it doesn't stand up to any real scrutiny

ThomasPaine posted:Why overcomplicate things? It's proper 'choice choice choice all the choice but actually no choice but you're choosing which arm you want broken' neoliberal fundamentalism and it makes me loving so tired and bored and miserable. Privatised profit, socialised costs is obviously the main goal, but a tired bored and miserable populace is a secondary benefit

Another good option for cooking in a fire that I was introduced to a couple of years ago: half an orange, scoop out the flesh, fill with a smashed up chocolate bar, wrap in foil, cook in the fire. From personal experience, please allow for some cooling time before shoving molten chocolate orange into your face.
