It is, but I felt you’d done the “5 words” bit nicely in the first place. Consider it more of “five words and a bit of a foot-note”

It’s at best pseudoscience and a scam, and also an actual cult

I was with you most of the way there (shout out to the chip butty), right up until that “pigs in blankets” abomination turned up. What in gods name has happened to them. Where’s the bacon, and why have they got that pastry nonsense on them? It’s behaviour like that this that explains the state of the world these days

Oh, you have the right to repair it, peasant, but we don’t have any obligation to ensure you can afford to repair it now do we?

One of my mates got his plums snipped in his 20s, still doesn’t regret it. Another of my mates spent his whole life saying he wasn’t going to have kids, and seriously considered the snip, but was grateful he didn’t when he met the now mother of his kids in his mid 40s. Life’s weird, and only (and sometimes not even) you can really know your own mind

One of the greatest songs ever written in my opinion

They should block ALL foreign media ownership, namely Australian and American ownership… a world without Murdoc would be a better place indeed

Usually clad in some staggeringly stupid-looking Lycra. Physical pain cannot compare

That M6 looks pretty dope. I love my K7 keyboard, and wouldn’t mind a matching rodent

Read that as “predate dinosaurs” as in “were predators of dinosaurs”. Had me worried for a second

What the actual fuck. I’ve never seen a pianola in action, much less thought about the music for them until today. This afternoon, we picked up one for a little festival, along with two crates of piano rolls, and got it working again. Now this pops up on my feed. Serendipity indeed

Their own kind of nonsense they call Doom-Wap, they make a quite pleasing racket. One of my favourite newly-discovered bands of late

 

Looking for a few workshop manuals, is there anywhere that generally has a good selection?

 

There’s a bunch of videos in this article

 

Hey all. I’ve been looking for a small, basic USB-C hub with pass through power. Like literally just 4 USB-C ports, a short cable and a USB-C power in. No extra nonsense, just a minimal way to connect an SSD, a monitor, and power to my deck, and charge a peripheral if necessary. It seems unreasonably hard to find! Any suggestions?

Hello peeps. Life’s thrown me some curve-balls recently, and I’d like a bit of an escape. Can anyone recommend a decent game in the vein of Skyrim, Fallout or Deus Ex/System Shock for the steam deck, that isn’t 25 or 30 quid please? Something on offer for less than a tenner would be ideal. I’m sure there are some great older RPGs out there that I’ve missed, the Deck is the first time I’ve got back into gaming for quite a few years, and while I’m sure I could quite happily just play Brotato for the next few years, I reckon there’s something a bit more immersive out there for me to find!

 

Probably worth a watch, and whether you agree with him or not, being aware of the economic situation here at the moment is probably prudent

 

Hi all, I need a bit of help.

I’m looking to get further down the rabbit hole of interesting photographers, but I struggle to define what I’m after. My general misanthropy extends into photography, people are almost always the least interesting thing in the frame to me. Why would you waste film on faces, when you could be taking interesting images of some nice concrete or rusty iron?!

I love the work of Toshio Shibata, Bernd and Hilla Bescher, Bill Brandt, Danila Tkachenko, and GXAce on YouTube. The problem I have is that searching for “Urban” photographers brings up street stuff, “Architectural” ends up with folks who take pictures of whole buildings, “industrial” seems to lead to people who take photos for corporate websites, or urbexers (though some of those are verging on what I’m after). Constructed landscapes, textures, geometric shapes, and the juxtaposition of human artifice and nature, that’s my bag.

Is there a term or genre that would connect all this? Or am I just going to have to keep finding new artists one at a time?

Ta!

 

I’ve got a little stainless Coast A5, which I love, but its beam pattern is very, very much inspection torch. Dead circular, even spread.

Is there anything similar in body, but with a more every-day torch beam? I don’t really want some black knobbly military-cosplayer’s thing, I’m not too bothered about a built in charging port, I want minimal. I love the simple, smooth stainless body of the A5, it lives in my smart jacket pocket along with an elegant little pocket knife, I just wish it had a thrower-style beam.
