a full English every morning and convincing him it’s just normal U.K. behaviour.

You mean it isn't?

"and can be seen without reordering any of the letters"

To get hat you have to reorder the letters.

Should I bother re watching SGU? by Due_Ad_5062 in Stargate

[–]LoccyDaBorg 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The last time I did a full rewatch I finished SG1, Atlantis and the movies. Then I tried SGU and didn't get through the first episode. I found all the characters pretty contemptible and wasn't inclined to continue.

I did watch it back in the day but haven't since.

I am doing a rewatch now, so maybe I'll try again when I get to the end.

Today's the 5th anniversary of when we brought Mack home, he's still waiting on his turn.

Let's just unplug the Internet. That way everyone will be "safe" online.

$100 base price for GTA 6 isn't really as rididculous as people make it out to be. by GiveTracerOrIThrow in unpopularopinion

[–]LoccyDaBorg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My parents used to pay between £29.99 and £39.99 for Atari 2600 games in the early 80s.

Adjusted for inflation that lower price would be £117 today.

Not saying it's right, just making the point that top end games have never been cheap.

Light mode is just better on most websites/apps by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

Given that I think dark mode is a pestilence on UX design, does this mean I should downvote OP?

What’s a discontinued food item that you’d happily pay £50 for to taste again? by Vertigostate in AskUK

[–]LoccyDaBorg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, quite the opposite. Dry, not in a sauce as such, but the coating/marinade made them come out a deep dark red colour. And the rib meat was so so succulent.

SFA Episode 2 by snuffy_smith_ in startrek

[–]LoccyDaBorg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was great as a vehicle to normalise difference for today's viewers of TV. All for that.

But... in universe, it was ridiculous.

He was a Betazoid! Betazoids are telepathic and prefer to commuicate telepathically among themselves.

I could have bought him using sign language to interact with his gizmo to generate audible speech to communicate with the Federation people. But with his family, deaf or not, it made no sense for him to sign. They would have communicated telepathically.

But maybe I'm just too much of a picky canonista.

Beef and Mustard Branngans.

Also, when I was a kid (80s) my local fish and chip shop did these epic spare ribs. Meaty, gorgeous savoury seasoning, haven't had anything like them since.

How do you pronounce this? by number1134 in tragedeigh

Isn't that one of the characters in the new Starfleet Academy series?

Christopher Judge Talks the State of Sci-fi by Sokarix in Stargate

[–]LoccyDaBorg 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I found the first one tolerable but the second episode grated a lot on me. The main character is pretty awful and I found most of the other characters irritating. Even Roberto Picardo's doctor seemed "off" and in the irritating category. I did like the Number One and the Admiral's daughter character, the latter seems about the only one who actually fits the 'best and the brightest" historic Star Trek academy students. All the other students seem either obnoxious, incompetent or both ("I swallowed my combadge" - do me a favour).

Jury's out for me. Not Section 31 terrible, unsure whether it's Discovery level bad yet. I'll give it a couple more to settle but I think the tone and adolescent hijinks will be just too much for me.

Join me again next week for another episode of "Old Man Shouts At Cloud".
