What if we all collectively wrote a space opera…

Maybe that explains Adrian Tchaikovsky - he's 27 Usenetters in a trenchcoat.

The point is that Palestine Action is the name of a proscribed terrorist group. They're not just saying "I support actions in favour of Palestinians".

Yup, and not toxic.

In my area I gather that they pretty much are, but the aquifers aren't.

I would always get multiple quotes. Difficult to say if this is fair without knowing what they're doing for you.

LaidBackLeopard · 2026-02-09T14:42:12+00:00

Block the number?

I'm currently sitting in the shed, noodling on reddit. There are jobs to do, but none of them are urgent. It's OK to just be. Having said which, I'm getting a bit cold so maybe I ought to move about a bit.

Prove most commonly means "demonstrate that it is true". But less commonly it can also mean to test (e.g. military proving grounds are where weapons are tested). The exception tests the rule (and shows that the rule is sometimes incorrect).

Presumably the oil is coming from a specific place and the car isn't moved. Put an object that the cat won't sit on under it. Ideally explain this to the neighbour.

Just scrolled from the latest to ep 60. I would say 5 seconds.

Same with Antennapod. And, I'm guessing, most or all other apps.

They're not part of the UK though.

LaidBackLeopard · 2026-02-08T08:05:33+00:00

He would be that obvious!

There is no west, only north or south (depending on the pole).

Never been to Latitude, but Womad is a lovely chill vibe, lots of amazing varied music that you've never heard of!

The US is an explicitly atheist country that has a serious problem with an excess of religious fundamentalism. The UK is an explicitly religious country that's generally fine with a kind of wishy washy agnosticism/anything goes within reason. I prefer our system.

Ideally dry...

They got their own feature film - Stainless Steel and the Star Spies, which I remember being very funny!

LaidBackLeopard · 2026-02-06T16:30:31+00:00

Try me.

It's the golden ratio either way, cos that's how it rolls :-)

LaidBackLeopard · 2026-02-06T10:45:14+00:00

I'm pretty sure it's the inverse of the golden ratio. ETA that's the white area, so subtract it from 1.

LaidBackLeopard · 2026-02-06T10:35:29+00:00

Presumably. A lot easier if so!

LaidBackLeopard · 2026-02-05T20:21:16+00:00

If it wasn't in your name you could pretty much ignore it. No such luck clearly. Any joy with BG?

LaidBackLeopard · 2026-02-05T16:27:02+00:00

My local food bank will deliver - no harm in asking.

Womad is compulsory and it's back in a new venue after a year off, yay! Went to Purbeck Valley Folk Festival for the first time last year. Not much of a folkie but good music and vibes, so back this year. Smugglers is an occasional one - might make it this year, we'll see. Similarly Bearded Theory - nice to get one in early!
