I'm surprised he could tear himself away from obsessively commenting in the vilest terms about trans people to cast his approving eyes over the crimes being committed by the occupying army. It's his kids I feel sorry for, knowing what he was and what he became; from successful comedy writer to competing with Laurence Fox for the Most Obviously Divorced Man in Britain trophy.
David Lammy is apparently on very friendly terms with him - "apparently" as Vance is someone who appears to see everything as conditional, just like the orange one - and Labour just took an absolute battering in the Welsh and Scottish elections. Admittedly this isn't the same kind of direct contact, but I hope he meets Wes Streeting in the near future as they're both birds of a feather and he'd be an appropriate direct target of the Vance Curse.
'Endless, Nameless' / The Wildhearts - from the fake-out beginning (don't turn the volume right up or you'll get a surprise) to the fade at the end, it's perfect to me. Joyously and gloriously noisy.
'Dreamweaver' / Sabbat - complex and clever thrash that gave young me a lot to think about; it's loosely based on a book about a mediaeval Christian missionary and the lyrics are incredibly dense, yet so skilfully done that you don't realise until you look at the lyric sheet and it's huge.
'Dopethrone' / Electric Wizard - for those bad mood days
'Mclusky Do Dallas' / mclusky - inventive and slightly surrealist lyrics, noisy guitars and a great drummer.
'Nothingface' / Voivod - still sounds like it was recorded five years from now despite being around 30 years old. Best description I can give is 'prog thrash' and that's not really very accurate.
'The Big Roar' / The Joy Formidable - noisy indie rock. Not going to win any awaawards for innovation but it's so well done.
Like most people's favourites, these were mostly released when I was starting to develop my own taste in music, and the release dates of most of them will tell you that means I'm getting old!
Fine sentiment from the leader of a party which lost their deposit, only narrowly coming out ahead of a candidate registered as Sir Oinks-a-lot (who I suspect actually had a more sensible policy platform).
This chap was the leader of Reform, Nigel 'Mr Brexit' Farage's party, in Wales and wasn't careful enough to cover the source of his 'encouragement' to repeat pro-Russian talking points. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c891403eddet
That they tried to get a foothold here via this useful idiot is very worrying. He got off lightly with that prison sentence; treason used to carry the death penalty and taking foreign money to fluff another state while also claiming to represent the constituents who voted for you is easily read as treasonous. I'd like to think those constituents are a little more informed now but it wouldn't be a surprise to see his replacement voted in at the next election.
Slightly more insidious than that is the attempt to conflate 'socialism' with 'national socialism', i.e. the Nazis. Seemingly every five minutes someone tries to conflate the two despite being on opposite sides of the political spectrum, hence the bullshit pseudoscience that is "horseshoe theory".
Are the subtitles in individual files per language in the game directory? If so, swapping the filenames for English and German while keeping the spoken language as German might work. Not at the PC so I don't know if I have the sequel to test the theory; will check later.
Has anyone questioned why the whole "free house, free TV, front of the queue" stuff - abject bollocks to anyone with even the tiniest sliver of knowledge - might act as an attractant when relayed as fact by the usual suspects? I know that it's way too late to be starting now, but that means it's only the second best time to do so. Tell the poor sods the truth: you can't work, you're given pocket money; you're shoved into any available accommodation at the lowest possible cost (except to the private sector landlords); you're likely to get shunted around at a moments notice, etc.
If the entire local population of a given area has been radicalised to believe immigrants are a threat, how is integration supposed to happen at all, much less be successful?
Does that controller work with one of 8bitdo's wireless dongles? They're pretty cheap - I paid around £8 for mine a few years back - but it will need a USB-A port free. Might be a stopgap so you can decide if something else better suits your needs.
Every actor in 'Still Wakes the Deep'. I don't usually like that type of game - you don't really have a great deal of agency, you can't fight only run, there are sudden deaths in some sections - but the overall atmosphere, the design, and that perfect voice casting drew me in. I think it's still on Game Pass if you want to see and hear it for yourselves.
We have a local by-election here later this month and while I've only seen a handful of Reform signs on display, it's still too many. As with all right wing parties they don't have any suggestions or solutions, only scapegoats, and that's something Plaid need to hammer on before the Senedd election. Make it crystal clear that no scary brown people means your wait for healthcare will triple, your kids will be in even larger classes, your pension will get ever smaller due to fewer people paying tax, etc. Absolutely drive home how self-defeating it is to vote for anyone who says we need to keep everyone out, perhaps targeting the language issue in Welsh-speaking areas as Reform would prefer to see the language forgotten. And definitely talk about the whole "the Taffs yearn for the mines" nonsense. If my granddad, a former miner, was still alive he'd probably have thumped him for even suggesting they might reopen the pits. Poor bloke died of respiratory failure from his mining career and his last years were spent struggling for breath on home oxygen.
Like the author, the only sensible solution I can see is Plaid Cymru. But read their policies and decide for yourself if you're undecided.
Yes, 'sausage' is definitely used more for the description of a shape than for what out contains. It would make more sense for 'burger' to be used to describe the shape too, i.e. a synonym for the word 'patty', which makes it sound too close to 'pat', as in 'what cows leave in fields'.
The Dictionary Gatekeepers should also add the word 'sausagenous' to mean sausage-shaped, mostly because it's pleasing to say.
The claim is that people can be confused about what the product is if the meat and non-meat products are called by such universally descriptive names. I find this argument specious as all the non-meat stuff I see has some variation of ”meat-free" on the packaging in large and distinct text, so what they're suggesting is that meat-eaters are illiterate. Not sure that's the huge gotcha the lobbyists think it is, TBH.
Looks like a means of detecting how far the phone is from an object, then calculating the depth of field adjustment needed to supply the "right" amount of background blurring, making the object stand out in the resulting image. Good for making portrait subjects stand out from their surroundings, for example.

Is that third one from the famous film Johnny Nailgunhands?

He's the bleedin' son of god, not a bloody goose! Died for our sins and you're trying to attract him like a hunter with a duck lure!

Labour Party, my arse.

He always looks like he's received a surprise prostate examination and the doctor had cold hands.
Looks like the unholy outcome of breeding a Smurf with a Womble...
Which is to say that it looks much better with the eyes in place.

Inspector Inigo Montoya will likely find no shortage of six-fingered men, I suspect. The sooner this AI bubble bursts, the better.
The only trickling that happens is from someone pissing on your leg and telling you it's raining.
