I used to make “dollies” out of them. I used to make them at work too out of all the plastic wraps I had to pull off new cutlery when we put those out. My old boss finds one and asks “what’s this?!” I told him “its witchcraft” as I hated the little shit.

Have we though? We still vote for them and populate the business rooms with them…

…my theory is different. I think this is evolutionary back to competition with similar species.

Back 4 million years the whole world really was a planet of the apes. So in some ways recognising something that wasn’t your species, but looked like it might have avoided conflict, loss of territory, loss of food…

Exactly.

The number of times I had to correct colleagues that “HR is NOT your union”

Had some woman full-on grab my male arse in my old job when I was bent over doing a task. My colleague (female) saw it and marched after her letting her know that wasnt acceptable. Another member of staff kept constantly going on about my bike shorts and legs and everything inbetween… she was about 20 years older than me.

People here say this green text is fake. It may well be, but from experience it also may not.

Damon Albarn (Blur) went out to Africa in the late 90s iirc and recorded an album. I want to say its called Mali Music but its been 24 years… thats a great album too. All samples of folk musicians

I love Fela Kuti’s music. A mix of African tradition and 70s jazz rock.

I listen to a lot of Cash. I like some country. Crosby Stills and Nash etc.

Control of information is the real power.

Look at every dictatorship. Look at extremism. Look at wife beaters ffs. If someone is trying to DDOS the Internet Archive then someone is trying to mess with the free flow of information.

The Telegraph here has done the same for Ebikes and Escooters. But mostly cyclists. Its been weeks of these articles. They’re not alone either, the Mail, Express and Sun have done the same. Its to create the illusion of your Government tackling a problem that doesnt really exist, as ours announced they’d be “bringing in new measures” recently only to launch a General Election a couple of days after.

“Just off for a shiit, mate!”

I love all that side of it myself. Used to photo the wild fungus down here.

Does it grow in shiit? 😅

I use a Helix (the big full floorboard one), but I also have a small collection of pedals. I would say its just a big guitar pedal at the end of the day. I will say that stacking lots of effects and amps internally can limit what you run, the DSP is about 6 years out of date - but still powerful if you’re careful.

I’d say keep a couple of good drives (which you are), but also keep a flanger as the models in there are not my fave. If you love ambient verbs (eg Strymon/Eventide) then keep one of those. The Helix verbs are good, though, just DSP intensive.

I remember being on a wilderness weekend many years ago and being told that when you cut the stem on some poisonous shrooms they discolour a sort of blue tint. I’m lucky, I hate the taste and texture of mushrooms.

We’ve been making these Dune time machine jokes since Back to the Future.
