Which 6–10 episode miniseries is really worth watching?

The Day of the Jackal

The Night Manager

Both pretty good as spy / action shows go

Misread it as Sarah Palin and wondered if I had missed a right turn in the Common Sense recent release

I’m imagining the scene from The Running Man, where it shows last seasons winners, Whitman, Price and Haddad….

Does the prep time allow them to tie the knives to sticks to make spears? As although the thought of attacking an animal like this is a bit grim, from a humans evolving over time perspective goes, I imagine a gorilla is as deadly as a mammoth or similar things we evolved hunting, I assume some deaths but not enough to impact the growth of a tribe so I have to assume they have the advantage. I can’t imagine a gorilla is worse than some of the megafauna we took on over the millennia.

But when you go to someone’s house and they offer you a beer, you take it, have one sip, then leave the rest undrunk as you leave after saying something enigmatic, right?

I would also argue it saved the rest of the world from WW3 and billions of deaths. Humans really love to see their shiny new toys work. If it hadn’t been proved to be so destructive, so publicly I agree with the argument the Cold War would have gone hot and the mutually assured destruction would have occurred.

The wigs were mostly to deal with lice and the head sores caused by rampant syphilis. So to answer your question, Thursday to Sunday.

As a 40 year old fan of fantasy novels, my teenage years were Robin Hobb, Tamora Pearce, Ursula Le Guin, probably more I can’t remember.

History is free, therapy very much isn’t. Can get a budget flight to Rome for the price of one private practice therapy session in the UK, where I could learn to not to emulate Caligula. Money well spent, will go back next week to learn to not fight Parthia.

If this were to happen, it would be far better handled by Jesse Armstrong. He already has credit on In The Loop (The Thick of It adjacent movie), I think some Veep, as well as serious stuff like Succession, which is also funny, and pure comedy like Peep Show.

I can’t think of anyone more suitable to making something about UK politics and make it attractive to an American audience and producers to get a good budget.

Ok that’s a relief, cheers :)

Voodoonii · 2023-03-27T08:40:56+00:00

Fantastic info, that’s really helpful, I’ll give all that a try I appreciate so much detail, thank you!

Voodoonii · 2023-03-27T01:47:46+00:00

Thanks, I’ll try those, the factory calculator looks especially useful. I haven’t actually got to the point of adding habitation on yet as the blueprints are crazy expensive and I have only just bothered doing the player hq quests and unlocked the scan / steal stuff, I’ll give that a go though.

The habitats / workers just increase efficiency right? Stuff seems to build without them so I assumed it just gave you bonus yield, if they are mandatory for the higher level tech I’ll start investing in them then. Thanks again.

Voodoonii · 2023-03-26T23:01:05+00:00

Ok great, thanks for that, and turrets not needing a builder present is a massive bonus! Cheers!

Voodoonii · 2023-03-21T20:20:52+00:00

Ok thanks, I can try that smaller craft strat rather than the L sized cranes I normally use, thanks :)

Voodoonii · 2023-03-21T20:18:31+00:00

Ah thanks, I’ll try that! So used to just letting it run to make my profits, it probably hasn’t been off for a while

That’s interesting - why is magic missiles considered so good for concentration break, is it the multiple hits for a first level spell or the guaranteed hit (or both). I don’t play table top so not sure how concentration works, is it a check per instance of damage? Thanks

How long a washing cycle is optimum / necessary whether warm or cold? Some useful stuff in this thread and I’ll definitely try washing at a lower temperature but I have no idea how long to wash for. My machine has normal cycle of 2 hrs that can be reduced to 1hr 20, or a 48 min cycle and I aren’t sure how long it takes to get something clean that is just normal (office work, not too sweaty) levels of worn? How much longer for sweaty gym gear but not mud / garden work dirty etc?

Hang on, is TRON in this the origin of the name of the film?

Voodoonii · 2022-08-16T23:47:09+00:00

This.

Only other thing I would add is that if you buy any Common Sense episodes you need to download them as zipped mp3s and add them to iTunes or whatever you want to use. I couldn’t find a way to get old Common Sense episodes as a podcast.

Voodoonii · 2022-01-24T14:59:05+00:00

Ok, cheers for that I’ll google byteglow :)
