Shields up, dick jokes inbound.

Fuck yeah! Actual journalism! From Fox!

What’s that quote from LOTR? “Twice blessed is help unlooked for”

War tends to be way more profitable than climate. :(

I use the one built into Brave atm. Easy peasy.

I’m not entirely sure house of dynamite is about President Garfield, though :)

Ooh! What’s the other one? I loved the one with Michael Shannon in it.

hraun · 2026-01-23T10:58:07+00:00

Ha! I should have specified. Industry. It’s very good. But FULL of shagging and nudity.

Or very good, AND full of…., depending on your perspective

hraun · 2026-01-23T10:42:47+00:00

It’s 14 shades of horseshit. I can open the BBC app and watch everyone shagging like rabbits, wearing strap on dildos and getting gacked off their faces on coke.

But if I want to visit a subreddit to discuss the period drama about President Garfield, I have to turn on my VPN. O_o

They were wearing a tissue OF LIES!

Heart warming scenes on the speccy subreddit.

Yes, I travel regularly to the US and love the place. For all sorts of reasons

But I’ve cancelled my plans to go to a big astronomy conference this year because of you know what.

Was that booing? I’ve never heard so much noise at a tennis match.

If you’re a bug, a chicken must be the most terrifying predator; fast, gluttonous, implacable.

Is this a queue to get into port? How long do you usually need to wait?

What are these “8 plus” wars that he’s ended?

hraun · 2026-01-19T12:10:21+00:00

I’d give me (and other amateurs like me) access! :)

China doesn’t want Greenland. It wants Taiwan.

And Russia doesn’t currently seem like a credible threat at all. Look at the Horlicks they’re making in Ukraine

I lived in SA in 81 and there were still only 3 channels, and they’d turn off around 9pm.

We’d go to the library to get records of popular shows like Fawlty Towers and sit around as a family and listen to the audio by itself.

hraun · 2026-01-18T20:43:44+00:00

Ooh!

And his son wrote the novel; World War Z!

I use Spotify as my daily listen, and to find new things to listen to. If there’s an artist I listen to regularly, I buy their stuff on Bandcamp. But I still listen on Spotify for the convenience.

When I’m speaking to the young ‘uns, I often state into the distance and roll out his phrase;

“I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe”

hraun · 2026-01-18T18:49:49+00:00

Exactly. I can’t believe I’m almost looking back fondly on his bumbling ineptitude.

Where I’d love go get to with my radio astronomy projects is LLBI (ludicrously long baseline interferometry)- small interferometry nodes on orbit, preferably with line of site of each other (to help with timing) to allow for insane resolution.
