Fatiha was hilarious on the recent Big Fat Quiz, and judging by that clip is not going to be taking any of Alex's shit :D

It'll be interesting to see Jason Mantzoukas in a whole season of something, he's always amazing when he shows up as the hilariously disruptive force in whatever show he's in (think Brooklyn Nine-Nine, The Good Place).

Mathew, Rosie and Stevie I don't know at all.

It always seemed like an amazing way to speed-run repetitive strain injury to me.

Anything that requires that level of precision but offers basically zero range of motion just seems to force unnatural levels of tension in every muscle in your hand and wrist.

The things cause me agonising wrist pain within minutes of use, not something I've experienced with any modern (ie, larger than the postage stamp sizes of old) touchpad.

Good riddance.

Remaining alive: such an indulgence...

And these boots... steel or composite toe?

Wikipedia suggests "spknork" as an alternative, which is too many consonants in a row

Here's another good example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4cp28hIMP94

Stacking 283(!) double mains adapters and measuring the voltage drop. Because it's not just the cable, each plug/socket adds additional resistance.

These plastic things have been coming in the package when you buy kiwifruit (at least here in NZ) for yonks: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CGN35968

Some debate though as to whether that's a knifoon or a 'spife' though :)

Take a look at the area in question on Google Maps: https://maps.app.goo.gl/FfMqsFNs7WU7Vejg7

The address in question is on about a 15km (~9mi) stretch of road, and realistically the odds of choosing the correct house randomly are about one in five.

So I'm going to go with "things are different in Iceland", definitely.

Unfortunately a great many of them use Sodastream's gas cylinders - after their patent expired and anyone could build a compatible unit - so you might not be able to escape them getting your money when buying CO2 refills, if there isn't another brand of gas cylinder available where you shop.

Sodastream have released a new cylinder design (with a bayonet rather than screw fitting), presumably to again attempt to kill off the market for home refilling from a larger CO2 cylinder, or use in other brands of machines.

All of that said, I do like my Aarke machine.
