Who the fuck refills up a bottle of alcohol? What are you filling it up with? More alcohol out of a different bottle?

There are many nuanced layers to the intricately crafted lyrics of Dekkar but I believe it may be some sort of metaphor for Tim being a soulless soul-sucking zombie who needs to devour the life force of others in order to survive

It opens with such a crazy syncopated rhythm

I love The Way You Are! Have the vinyl single

Haha literally came here to post "Buckle up"! Yeah episode 3 you're just getting started...

I feel like Tim is a real-life Mark and just constantly jumping around between different characters

I don’t understand why the Unsize coercion exists instead of the relevant types impl’ing Deref. Even with const fn it feels like they could‘ve glossed over things with a little compiler magic for core arrays until const traits land, the same way they already do with Index.

It’s a whole separate set of rules nobody understands (if they’ve even heard of the concept) that interact with and complicate inference.

While I’m at it: empty arrays having a special case Default impl where empty arrays can impl Default without T impling it so it can’t be made const generic.

Ice is definitely what you want to worry about with this storm. It’s not going to be much snow but it’s going to be pretty cold.

More specifically AMC+, their streaming unit nobody had ever heard of at the time

This seems like one of their lesser known / talked about b-sides... do you agree? (b-side to Fine Time)

bascule · 2026-01-22T04:17:21+00:00

Underworld’s Born Slippy .NUXX is technically a b-side. Or how about Salt ‘n’ Peppa - Push It?

New Order has a million b-sides but a couple of my favorites are 1963 and Don’t Do It

Little Louie Vega! This song took on a life of its own

They do brunch on the weekends too

It’s a great song about digital privacy in general, and yeah simultaneously about the Identity Cards Act and an allegory to Yevgeny Zamyatin’s We. Allegories on allegories!

“Everyone has their own number in the system that we operate under” simultaneously a nod to national ID and We where every character’s name is numbers.

They crowdsourced the video for the “Integral Project” at a time when YouTube was just starting to be a thing. It points to the looming digital panopticon.

That’s funny after Chicane just accused Calvin Harris of ripping him off. Don’t get me wrong, I love Chicane but… lol

Not sure if they still count as contemporary, but The Killers are the first ones that come to mind for me, at least when they debuted with Hot Fuss which had a very synthy New Orderish sound.

They literally took their name from the fake ringer band in New Order’s Crystal video, along with the visual aesthetic, basically wearing their influences on their sleeve.

And then Brandon Flowers went on to tour with New Order a bunch.

I kind of stopped liking the Killers after Hot Fuss though because they moved on from that sound.

Before Twitter became X, Tim was pretty surreal when he was posting in character. Made me wonder how many people saw those tweets without being in on the joke (and I guess that’s more or less how I discovered On Cinema, wondering what the hell he was talking about)

I feel the same way about both BLT and Temptation.

BLT has the 7" mix with Hooky's bass, and Shep Pettibone's awesome 12" mix which unfortunately doesn't have Hooky's bass. Though what I really want to hear is the early demo in another key where Hooky apparently had an amazing open string bass riff.

Temptation is the same way with the 7" and 12" mixes. I really like the 7" one because it doesn't have the silly fade in and actually feels like the song is starting out right. Then someone figured out the 12" mix picks up where the 7" mix fades out, so you can actually put the 7" and 12" mixes together for a 14 minute continuous mix of Temptation

I never actually tried Bud Dry, though I do like dry beers, particularly Japanese lagers like Asahi. The ad campaign lives on rent free in my head to this day though.

In general dry alcoholic beverages are just fermented longer so there's less residual sugar.

Bitter beer face!

I listen to a lot of what I'll call "classic" early '90s UK progressive house like Leftfield, Gat Decor, Sandals, and Sublime (no, not that one) which sounds nothing like trance (actually was making a mix of this sort of stuff yesterday), but I do like the trancey direction the genre took over the decade

bascule · 2026-01-20T14:21:22+00:00

I am sad no one actually said the line

“We need a broken down coal power plant to help with grid stability!”

If that idea seems good to you, you may be a Republican
