I've no understanding of any of this, but what do you think might be in it?

We should also ban Guy Ritchie's film "Snatch" as well because it refers to "pikeys" which is also a derogatory term Or is that OK because the characters use it in a derogatory way because of their character traits? i.e. a racist character could use the word "hottentots"...

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-68402362 Every day is a school day... "The Khoikhoi were called the 'Hottentots' by European settlers because the sound of their language was so different from any European language, and they could not pronounce many of the words and sounds."

Or camera....

I've been watching it on YouTube for a long while or now and do enjoy it

It's completely pretentious though (in a good way)

Seriously brave and not a little lucky, the tank missed once or twice before being blinded. There was a 2nd Bradley that was in the fight too. Watched an interview with the crew and the gunner had graduated from training in Germany in December. Guy is hoping the successful mission will help get his...

I think our brains are soon going to melt from information overload. It's bad enough have a smartphone that you have to fight to stop overdosing on unnecessary crap, now he's got it set up so he just has it all around him. I want less of this shit personally (must be getting old). I recently bought...

It's another step, but now it's down to the Supreme Court which is heavily stacked in his favour

Their decision could kind of be make or break for the US

Nice one Beany Congrats on the new car! And yeah, it was me who had the Birds kit fitted to my M140i I had their suspension kit, an LSD, and the rear subframe brace (oddly the 3 doors come with this, but not the five doors - the latter of which maybe need it more) It's not cheap, but it totally tran...

Different starting point, there’s less gains to be made on a car which is already fitted with 90+ % efficient drivetrain vs one which was only 20% to start with. This is kind of what I mean, there's not really a massive amount of potential left on the table when it comes to EVs I happened to watch ...

The Macan will be the Taycan killer in the same way the Model Y is now the only Tesla you see. I hadn’t realised Porsche were going to update the Taycan with the tech from the EV Macan so quickly though. I think you’re right; I hope that means a gen2 Taycan Cross Turismo with 360 mile range is now ...

For someone really "into" cars and technology, I have to admit, I'm very bored of electric cars already. They don't excite me, and it doesn't appear there's very much innovation/development going on? The biggest challenge people seem to feel about them is range, and when it comes to tackli...

I think the Dillinja "Grimey" (great track btw!) one of my favourite University Challenge "we need jungle I'm afraid" mashups:

@Gavster

If Sir likes camelphat, may I recommend Sir watch their set from Printworks?

I think the darker, more minimal aesthetic of both the venue and their performance/visuals works better

I've decided to sell my 1979 Pioneer amp It's one of these: https://www.hifiengine.com/manual_library/pioneer/sa-608.shtml It's in extremely good condition, almost "as new", and fully working (the blue VU meters are fully working and really bright still) The only niggle is a slight channel...

that goes back a bit @nuttinnew

I saw the other day that there's a new jungle/D&B mix of FSOL's "Papua New Guinea"

Some things I've been enjoying of late: https://apollobrown360.bandcamp.com/album/sardines - really good, slightly left-field hip-hop album https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajNYTJcF6rE - Brilliant Tiny Desk Concert from Scarface (hip-hop) https://officialarresteddevelopment.bandcamp.com/album/bullets...

I wonder if, on the flip-side Tik-Tok have loads of people in Equador (and other places they don't run this program) registering via a VPN so they can get around this?

In software/product management, we often find ourselves talking about outputs vs outcomes This data from Wales reminded me of this The average speed dropping is an output But the impact of that would be an outcome Has the number of accidents/injuries changed? Usually speaking, it's harder to ask &qu...

Sounds like the Uzi of torches

Yes, the Uzi had a ridiculous rate of fire, which just means you run out of bullets quicker

Sounds like this torch is so bright, you can't really use it (at full brightness)

Simon I'm really sorry to hear what happened, and know how upsetting it can be I've had a couple of relatives in this position (upwards of a two hour drive away) and have tried these buttons IME they were pointless because "Oh I'm fine dear!" and/or they just get forgotten about, run out ...
