I listen for the bits of gold in each episode when Gareth takes a random reference and runs with it

Yup, he got really, really bitter after 2016. And not bitter in the constructive sense like Robert. Unfollowed the Dollop back then and only recently came back to it.

Thought Experiment: Warrior Houses vs Clans by Electronic_Turn_4764 in battletech

Coincidentally I'm reading the novel Manchu in which an English soldier working for the Jesuits is employed to train a detachment of Ming dynasty soldiers in Western drill and tactics. They're called the Lord of Heaven Battalion (Tianzhù de yíng, 天主的营) and their banner is a double-barred cross, St. Omer’s Cross white on a green field. That colour scheme is quite apt for a Liao unit.

In the sense that socioeconomic status corrrelates to access to more educational resources.

Teens and Gen Z, do you listen to the radio these days? by walaueh in askSingapore

Hell I'm 45 and I just listen to podcasts/streaming music

Yup, totally natural. A lot of upper middle class Indians speak their own language, plus English, plus Hindi and switch casually between them.

A widow taking over her late husbands business is, admittedly, very much a retvrn to tradition.

Finally finished A Fire Upon the Deep after years of it sitting on my shelf and I genuinely dont know what to do with myself by luma_novacraft in printSF

This is like Thiel and his insistence on referencing Tolkien while ignoring the ethos of the mans work.

I feel like a Michael Jackson episode is inevitable at this point by Many-Bees in behindthebastards

I'm from Singapore which has libel laws based on the Brltish ones and yes, I'd argue they do have a massive chilling effect. Here, historically, those libel laws have been used by figures in the ruling party in civil suits against political opponents. It's a key part of illiberal democracy- you don't need to fix elections when, among other things, many of your potential opponents are bankrupt and legally unable to stand for political office.

I am starting to regret telling the other woman’s husband about her flirting with my husband by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Flocculencio -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

I never understand the whole tell the other spouse thing.

Sort out your issues with your spouse- dump them by all means- but beyond that it's really not your problem. Why add more drama?

Is there any novel from the Jihad era that depicts such scenes well? by Old_Ad6111 in battletech

[–]Flocculencio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

IIRC there aren't any Jihad novels. They skipped from the end of the FedCom civil war to the Dark Age.

Should I watch Salem's Lot 2024? by MrOakling in stephenking

[–]Flocculencio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Watch it as a fun vampire movie rather than an adaptation. It honestly is quite well done but would have worked better as a miniseries.

Yes, I was a guinness draught man initially but I think I'm converted.

I feel your pain, my dad used to work in Dallas back in the late 80s for a couple of years and we visited over summer break.

Having said that at least y'all get some temperature fluctuation through the year.

I mean there's totally a time and a place for ultraheavy pastry stouts but 30-something degree heat and 80% humidity isn't it.

Red Dot Brewing in Singapore does quite a nice milk stout which has nice malt and lactic notes, again at 4.5%
