Hi, just replying again to say, I may have found my ideal bra today - it's one made for doing yoga in :-)

Going to test it properly this coming week ...

Hi, just coming back to this since I found a thing ... today I was trapsing around looking for seamless underpants in a sports shop and stumbled upon bras made for doing yoga in.

Less restrictive and more breathable than sports bras, and with thin removable pads. Also, made to look somewhat pretty.

I'll be testing one out properly this coming week ...

Handguns are not legally available to civilians in the UK, rifles are limited to bolt action, shotguns to 3 round magazine at max, and there's few places to practice.

I know Americans all want to be Rambo, but the solution is community led direct action like the group features here are doing.

Flats above shops are usually cheap, people who live in them often don't have a lot of choices in where they live.

I got training on a new piece of scheduling software last week (over Teams of course, can't be having any of that pesky human interaction!). The first slide of the presentation was a really really bad AI picture, which turned out to be a sign of the quality of the new software.

Don't forget all the lovely coerced ~~rape~~ sex, objectification, and depicting people with facial flaws as evil!

You can have a bit of homophobia too, as a treat.

In the UK it's not unusual for people to live in small apartments above shops like that, and in a terrace fire can spread very quickly.

Fire doesn't obey orders and isn't selective of it's path, and stepping from property damage into intentionally risking the lives of innocent people is a very dark path to follow.

Sig have really shot themselves in the foot

Yes to all that. After spending time around Mossos and Guardia Civil, the former have been more pleasant for me personally.

That looks like a Lego bra or something, lol

I'll try searching locally for "pull over bra" and see if anything comes up, sometimes things like this translate ok - thanks for the tip :-)

Narrator: But it was exactly what she thought it was.

 

About a year ago I picked up a copy of Dirt 4 for very little money and put it on the side to play later (it appears that rally games drop in price when they no longer feature the latest cars).

One of the environments it features is Tarragona in Spain, which is where I live. Having actually started playing it I can say that the modeling and course design for my home stages is absolutely spot on - I live in a small village halfway up a small mountain which is often used for the WRC, and the stages really do feel like my daily commute.

The car handling, progression, team management stuff, etc, is good - with the variable difficulty settings it's very accessible to casuals like me :-)

At about 3/4 completion I'd give it top marks, and I'm enjoying it a lot more than the more simulation oriented rally games.

My work is up and down like a yoyo at the moment, to help avoid doom scrolling during quiet patches I've decided to start reading (nobody at work is going to pay attention to plain text on my screen, we're all in the same boat).

I've got a copy of Naomi Altman's The Power to start off with ... any other recommendations?

(Obviously can't be anything smutty or very funny because I need to be low-key, and lighter stuff would be easier to pick up and put down when I have actual work to do)

Thanks in advance :-)

 

Hi, Iḿ not in the US, but earlier this year had the opportunity to try shooting firearms of various sorts for the first time, and it's something I'd like expand my knowledge about ... when I go on youtube the videos I've seen have been American with a right-wing lean which range from comedic, through surreal, and into creepy.

It would be nice to see content from people who are vaguely normal.

(Edit: especially if it has to do with revolvers!)

 

Are there any other shows out there of this sort of lighthearted nature, yet made with quality writing, out there?

It feels like a lot of recent things we've watched has been a bit grim and/or relies on spectacle rather than telling a good story and working a few jokes in along the way ... the world is on fire, I'd like to stop it and get off, if only for a few minutes at a time.
