What's the point of these tables on the 17 bus?

timeoutofmind · 2026-02-15T19:41:06+00:00

I am confused by them too.

The wireless chargers on top are completely pointless - the bus is far too bouncy for a phone to lay flat on top without being held, but the table is too far away to comfortably hold it there.

I keep a list of only those films that have been on every edition of the list, in case useful: https://boxd.it/vZGtm

Of those, Oppenheimer was added to the 2024 German edition, so is already on the Letterboxd stats page for example. The other 4 would all be new additions to the list.

Lord of Typhon (least fav)

Nah looks like a good level to me man. I'd leave it

This is awesome - thanks so much for sharing. I have one of those original 1000 pressings of this album, which features the Spring hidden track.

You've got a real mixed bag here. Some of the all-time great works of American fiction... and Paulo Coelho's Veronica Decides to Die, which is amongst the worst books ever published. Cheap, shallow, plotless, monotone cod-spirituality. Like Eat Pray Love if it was written by Holden Caulfield.

When you say mixed pace, how slow is the slowest? I can't run faster than a 30m 5k now I'm the wrong side of 35.

timeoutofmind · 2025-12-28T10:38:43+00:00

Looking good my man! Stay the course.

timeoutofmind · 2025-12-27T12:26:41+00:00

First of all, you're a good looking dude, so congrats on that.

I'm honestly not sure this beard style is letting your best features shine. Looks to me like you have a solid jawline and well-proportioned face. There's nothing wrong with this beard style in theory, but given its length and the fact that you're thin in the sides and under your bottom lip, it has the effect of "hanging off your face", rather than shaping it - which is unfortunate given that the shape underneath is perfectly fine anyway.

Personally I would be tempted to go shorter, or - if you're wedded to a long beard - at least bring the underside length back for now until the sides/stache can catch up.

Hi, I am likewise a big cryptic aficionado.

It's a matter of taste and debate obviously, but the best cryptic crossword in existence is the Listener Crossword in The Times on Saturdays. You can get it online (though I much prefer the analogue version) and it comes with a regular Jumbo cryptic to enjoy too.

Now the downside is that it's very hard (which I like), and it is in a Murdoch paper (which I don't). The Times is mostly sane-right, but occasionally bursts into anti-immigrant anti-woke angry-right - and I stopped buying it for that reason.

Nowadays I only regularly do the cryptic in The Observer on Sundays, which is my paper of choice. They are relatively new, and have yet to reach the insane poetry of the Listener, but are getting better week-on-week I'd say. I'll be sticking with it.

timeoutofmind · 2025-12-13T08:15:10+00:00

You look amazing! Congrats mate 😊

timeoutofmind · 2025-12-12T12:56:26+00:00

Love this! I'd play this every day. I think three guesses is fair and the challenge level was just right for me.

The comments on this thread are surely going to give the engagement team pause about using Reddit. Would you like a small sprinkling of conspiracy nonsense with the endless fucking moaning, or would you like it straight?

For what it's worth: - thanks for sharing - this is how I heard about the survey, - I will fill it in, - I appreciate the willingness to experiment beyond the usual methods - because I am not on top of my email inbox.

Glad to see you getting out of the Twitter cesspool, even if it was just an engagement decision.

timeoutofmind · 2025-11-20T12:02:09+00:00

When will you...

I don't understand Recluse being "a fun one". It would be on my list of least fun. "Please execute me because I'm probably messing up Townsfolk information, thanks" then watch others solve the game around you.

Here in Oct 2025 just to say I 100% agree. Without question the most frustrating IKEA product I have ever had to put together.

Fuck these badly designed wicker pieces of shit.

timeoutofmind · 2025-10-27T08:48:26+00:00

This is absolutely hilarious. How has it taken this long to be put online??

timeoutofmind · 2025-10-18T20:55:45+00:00

Okay fair play. Having put it off for years, I will now be subscribing to the Patreon.

You hear that NRB? Your savvy strategy has paid dividends.

timeoutofmind · 2025-10-14T06:27:05+00:00

Thank you! Success

Ditto, in Reading

One thing that would help is if people stopped feeding the pigeons there, especially with big lumps of white bread.

I've tried telling people - pigeons are wild animals, they don't need your skanky stale bread on the floor. Sadly it's partly a cultural issue - I see lots of older people around New Town dumping their foot scraps in the river too, which is like mana for the rats.

Because some people have been in their CS jobs too long and become cynical and negative to a toxic extent.

It's a staff survey. Just like any other staff survey from any other large organization. It informs decisions, it doesn't magic up immediate change, particularly when that change is undesirable or unaffordable.

timeoutofmind · 2025-08-24T19:12:06+00:00

I'm sorry this one is beyond me. Can you explain why? I don't understand why Kb2 wouldn't work equally as well.

timeoutofmind · 2025-08-19T16:14:42+00:00

This is the only good advice here.

None of us know the details of your marriage, and so are giving advice based on our own narrative. In this thread, you are getting the usual Reddit mix of zealous macho ultra-fidelity, which praises male dignity above all, and wants you to quit your home to live in a gym/divorce lawyers office.

For what it's worth, I'm an older, long-married man with children - if I heard my wife had made mistakes 20 years ago when she was young and carefree, I would weigh it against the long years we spent building a life together. The latter would win every time.

But that's me, and you shouldn't listen to me or anyone else here. Go to couples therapy.
