Well they have such vacuous personalities they’re perfect self insert protagonists

How do you clean a toilet properly? I try get in with a brush but I can’t get everything down in the bowl.

Should I just buy some long gloves and get stuck in there?

My last name can be a first name and it really bothers me when people address me by my last name. It shows you’re not paying attention to anything if you’re not looking at the sent name or my sign off

It’s really every edition of Windows. Xp is held up as a gold standard these days but I remember it wasn’t good until service pack 2

I think it’s how resource intensive Windows is. There are things Windows does just as well as my Fedora laptop, but I like it more on linux because it doesn’t take so much of my computer to run

I almost accepted the Windows 11 upgrade last night. That was scary

That’s no good at all. The best HSPs are covered in meat and you’ve got to eat some to even get at the chips that are soaked in sauce and juices

I posted a comment in the wrong spot. All flowers are beautiful no matter what they’re made of

Opened the Sunday Sun quickly and saw a fluff piece on a police horse involved in the recent protests.

It’s funny how they can’t find a person to build sympathy towards. And what about we stop selling weapons and making animals cops instead?

Accidentally posted this as a reply to the flowers before.

Like a HSP? They’re like the simplest sum of it’s parts thing to put together. Good meat is key in them though

We just went to the La Trobe market. You can’t best a good old school market with the guy at the fruit and vegetable stall constantly shouting

I was investigating this when I got my Kobo. I found the eastern libraries had the largest selection. You can make an account online and you don’t need to go in for ebooks https://www.yourlibrary.com.au/

I think part of it is they don’t play any music. It makes sense as they don’t need to pay royalties then. And their checkout people get to sit in chairs so they don’t need to take breaks.

Once you realise everything about Aldi is doing things as cheaply as possible it all starts to make sense

We copped a bit of hail up in the north for a few minutes

If you get stuck, do what Robert Trujillo did auditioning for Metallica and focus on learning the hardest song and getting that down first

I came across r/LV426 looking for the screenplay. I don’t really go on reddit anymore but I might sub anyway.

I think it’s so funny they picked Fincher when they wanted the movie made as quickly as possible. He was less of a known quantity then but he’s up there with Kubrick in terms of how many takes he’s willing to do for a scene.

I loved the very Fincher cam at the end of the Alien’s POV. It’s a great cheap way to get that feeling of terror without needed to have the Alien on screen like a trick Carpenter would have used in an early movie

I watched Alien 3 last night and it’s a good movie. I think it suffered from two things: -All the production problems before and during the shoot -Being called Alien 3 and being the direct followup to Aliens

It could have worked as its own movie or as an Alien spinoff. I think people were so upset about how it undoes the ending of Aliens that it coloured their opinion on the rest of the movie.

One small nitpick though, and I can probably explain it; the Alien knew Ripley was carrying the Queen and that’s why it wouldn’t attack her. Why wouldn’t the Alien just plaster her to a wall up in the air ducts until the Queen hatched? It was probably wasn’t considered because the Alien was meant to be smaller than normal, having come from an animal. Production problems meant it kept changing size, and whilst the movie has a man sized Alien pulling people into air vents, that could have been part of the rewrites done during the shoot and wasn’t scoped into the larger story.

Happy riding. We’re in the weather for it and that looks like a very comfortable bike

That sounds familiar. I’ll look it up.

There’s also the book Grendel about the monster from Beowulf from the monster’s perspective. It’s really good and works as a stand alone piece
