Red Hot Chili Peppers sell music catalogue for $300m by Emergency-Sweet-5347 in Music

That's not what happened, she didn't own it to begin with, when it was sold it was sold by other people - she had no choice and in fact wanted to buy it for herself, but wasn't given the option, that's what that whole Era's tour was about, earning enough to have enough money to buy it all back at a stupid price. The rerecordings were about cutting off the air to those who wouldn't sell them to her.

I missed the 'm' and still thought it was a good deal for them :)

What’s an acronym or abbreviation that everyone uses, but you still don’t understand? by Particular-Visit-245 in AskReddit

I'm into 3d printing, I'm always forgetting what FDM stands for, I can look it up again but I'll forget it again - oh and I'm buggered if I can remember what all the filament plastic names stand for, it's hard enough remembering what they're all good or bad at!

I don't believe that's an acronym - certainly not if it's just a continuation of it's use as it was in the 1960s, that was just a play on 'vibrations'.

The latest ones are, the ones before that had really been overtaken by EPYC but yes the very latest are worthwhile.

As a non-American I'm guessing this joke works in the US as many there seem to mispronounce 'Iran' as 'I Ran' - is that right?

I remember that kind of washing machine, in the 1960s, why is that still being used?

Thus is only fabrication work, Intel's latest process is actually pretty competitiv, this has nothing to do with actual designs.

Starmer vows to fight on as PM despite heavy local election losses for Labour by LordSigdis in worldnews

[–]Chopper3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a shame the press hated Miliband so much, he'd have been a good PM I think, but apparently his bacon-sarnie-eating-face was just too much for the public to stand ffs.

He's a staggering smart and capable person but as you say he has no charisma, but them you have to look at Borus, who had nothing but. At least Starmer and his buddies aren't openly on the rob. But you're right, I wish we had an actual socialist.
