hungry joe

I've got lasagna sheets that went out of date in 2014. I just can't ever be bothered making it.

Three games in hand, get in! Let's see who were playing...

Numberjacks is the closest thing to an SCP TV show that I've ever seen

I've asked the whole family to buy me a decent BBQ, in the summer, when my new house is renovated. Ha ha jokes on them I'll be surprised to be in by autumn.

It's my 40th coming up, and everyone keeps asking my wife what I want, and she keeps asking me, so I'm asking you: what nice kitchen gadgets and implements do you have in your kitchen that I could suggest as presents? E.g. I have a £40 garlic press that I was given by my dad. It's a ridiculous cost for a garlic press, but it is a brilliant garlic press and I actually use it, unlike many other things I get bought.

Tim was giving me serious Ser Jorah Mormont vibes.

Reminded me of Mandy a bit. Probably the chapter titles.

Kiri and Lou. The songs are just beautiful.

Kiri and Lou really is amazing, the Beautiful Flower song makes me well up with joy, and I've rewatched Yum Yum Baronies twice for my own entertainment.

They probably don't mind if they kill it. Slack is apparently second fiddle to Teams, and owning Discord removes it as a competitor

> Imagine if Disney said that Toy Story (1995) was too old to bother putting on Disney+. Companies aren't trying to help the consumer, they are trying to extract cash from them https://www.vulture.com/2019/10/disney-is-quietly-placing-classic-fox-movies-into-its-vault.html > ... the company’s long-standing “Disney Vault” strategy of artificially creating excitement for a repertory title by keeping film prints out of theaters for years or decades, and periodically manufacturing a limited number of physical media copies (on VHS, then DVD, and eventually Blu-ray). Thankfully the community provides:

I've just ripped through "There Is No Antimemetics Division", which is sort of like Xcom meets Memento. It's short and only a couple of quid and really recommend it.

Anyone know where you can order SV ready food?

Lilt always had 17g of sugar instead of 33g, maybe it's still good

I'm hyped.

Populous 2 crossed with Townscaper

That last episode was pretty weak compared to the rest of the series, ran through the motions of what was set up before, without any grand surprises. It felt like a stage play at times.

The Americans is very good

Well that was a very good final season.

Fanfic from https://archiveofourown.org/works/649448/chapters/1181375 You can download it and send it to your kindle. It's pretty fun, if you are familiar with both 40k and IMB! For a bit anyway, it's long and rambling.

Looking through my kindle history, I've been reading: Childhoods End - surprisingly bleak for The Quantum Thief - high concept derring do, was fine The Three Body trilogy - the first one is a bit odd, but the second and third books were pretty mind blowing, persevere Old Mans War - awful cheese Fifth Head Of Cerberus - really enjoyed it, but would have liked more A Fire Upon The Deep - I was reading it hoping for lots of AI takes over universe stuff, got singing dog aliens instead, very interesting setting House Of Suns - really enjoyed it, helped fill an Iain M Banks shaped hole, as did Light (M John Harrison) Re-read of various Iain M Banks, Atwood, Reynolds Read but felt were a bit basic: Wool, Girl With All The Gifts Had to give up on: Warhammer Meets The Culture (I managed a good 400 pages or so) Pandoras Star - too cheesy Some Charles Stross - too silly Right now about to tackle D-Spine, Cam WInstanley of AMiga Power's first (?) novel. It seems to be about a world where motorbikes are made of meat.

Reading about Last and First Men reminds me of "Man After Man":
