I'm cautious when it's below 0 remembering an incident - probably 30 years ago now Better that than thermal shock shattering the window, don't know if windows nowadays can survive thermal shock but not intending to try it.

Watch both The Wire & Breaking Bad once a year, The Wire wins every drat time. I watched Boardwalk Empire once but even with some good acting it just didn't click at all. My Xmas viewing this year will be Rome, seasons 1&2, RIP Ray Stevenson.  --------- Was going through my spending for this year; heading for £6k spent overall (no mortgage on my house thank god). My only income is Premium Bonds, for the next 14 years.

Brendan Rodgers posted:That's not funny enough either, I reckon best case scenario it's a wordplay or pun thing that doesn't translate, and worst case scenario, the Sumerian equivalent of Ricky Gervais is the one who became immortal, which has dark implications for our own time. Historians think the Sumerian joke was about brothels as they were usually in pubs.

Sanford posted:I had 8 bottles of olive oil left over from the Brexit stash, all gone now and we’re back on the sunflower. Should have hodl’d it, I’d be a millionaire by now. I’ve become one of those people who angrily mutters “well I’m not paying that” and deliberately puts stuff back on the shelf wrong to prove a point of some kind. My Brexit pile has also diminished; down to my last three bottles of olive oil, still have 3-4 years worth of Gaviscon tablets (£13.50 for 24 now, definitely saved a huge amount on that one) and am slowly working my through the last of my lentil/dried beans.

Jakabite posted:My partner’s a vegan and though I know it’s the morally correct choice, I hate the guilt I feel every time I make myself a fantastically elaborate meat dish. They don’t have a go to be fair, and I do cook really nice vegan stuff sometimes too. It’s just not as fun. I assume you've given seitan a go (don't use it if you have problems with gluten), i found it easy to make and cook if a bit time consuming.

Bobstar posted:I got a "Tineco" brand knock-off stick hoover and it's been doing us very well. Then we did some heavy DIY and supplemented it with a Henry - it's weird though, it's made in Britain and I'm a "leftard" and I still didn't burst into flames/out crying/through the wall... baffling. Seconding the Henry for getting the job done and never stopping.  Bought a Dyson DC05 back in 2002, but even with keeping the filter clean it slowly failed at its task.

Mebh posted:I just don't watch TV anymore. That way I don't have to pay a license fee to see some gurning MP trying to rehabilitate themselves in front of the nation. Had them visit twice, asked what they wanted through the open window and just closed it as soon as they mentioned TV... don't engage. If a TV service streams live and you watch it, you need a licence. You don't need one for Twitch or YT unless the streamer is viewing Live Broadcast content on their stream. poo poo is vague: live streams that don’t come from a body that resembles a “television programme service” don't need a TV licence for them.

Doctor_Fruitbat posted:I watched the first few episodes of Babylon 5 and they were indeed extremely poo poo. I'm told it gets better though. Series one is quite iffy, that i won't deny but for its day it was a good groundbreaker. ---------- Only seen Foundation on YT, i think it's impressive but i worry if they will be able to carry the series through to the finish. ---------- The Expanse is great, it helps that it is based on a series of books and it also has an ending. --------- Firefly escapist fun, series + movie was good enough for me, from what i heard series two would have been dark & shite so bullet dodged. --------- fuctifino posted:I've just had a scan, and I can see at least two unsecured wireless hotspots near me. So my guess is people switch on guest wifi, which is often unsecured, or turn off the passwords due to convenience. So people are still this dumb in TYOL 2024 No wifi in my house (never plugged that bit in), only ethernet cable.

Mr Phillby posted:Babylon 5 is like a weirder alternate version of DS9 that was made on an atari. Its about as good imo, less baseball episodes at least. DS9 is what you get when Paramount nicks the B5 project and places it in the ST universe.
