He also speaks of the pompetus of love.

When he ponders whether or not Dan Ackroyd and the virgin Connie Swail have rendered her nickname redundant 😁

Oh, I saw your response. Hence my comment. I didn't answer your question, because I don't think it was asked in good faith. Good day to you.

To be fair, I liked him as David S Pumpkins. And also one particular moment in Dragnet. But that's about it.

Seems like you didn't really want to ask a question, you just wanted to express your own opinion.

Tom Hanks.

He seems like a lovely person. I just can't stand seeing him act.

Andy Robertson apparently. NuΓ±es was the first.

/SavedYouAClick - although not sure I really believe it tbh.

It's bigger than pocket sized, but if you search for Mini PC, there's a fair few. They're about 10-12cm square and about 5 or 6 cm tall, so easily fit in a bag.

Although you'll still need a screen, mouse, keyboard, etc of course.

R.E.M. - saw them live 3 times (Edinburgh 1994, Stirling 1999 and Glasgow 2005). Always great!

I had tickets to see Nirvana that summer, but obviously that didn't happen :-(

So, is blue what's available or what's sold?

Either way, how do you mean tampering? Agreed they likely put those areas on sale first, to help with how it looks on TV, but that's not that uncommon I don't think?

 

I'm currently trying to get in better shape and to that end have started dieting and cycling in my local area. For motivation, I've decided to try to 'virtually' cycle from John O'Groats (henceforth JOG) in the north of Scotland to Land's End (LE) in the south of England.

To do this, I measure how far I cycle each day (locally) and record my progress, which I then use to map where I would be on the route Google Maps recommends for cycling (I'm handwaving altitude comparisons because it's just for fun).

Ok, so - Maps says the recommended cycling route from JOG to LE is 965 miles. Fine. I've covered 21.1 miles so far (I've only just started and am not very fit).

Now, on the full 965 mile route, that 21.1 miles gets me to a small village called Haimer. However, if I ask Maps to plot me a route from JOG to Haimer, Maps says it's only 18.7 miles.

I've tried the same thing with other towns on the route, and the same is true there too - there's a roughly 10% disparity, even though the route being plotted is identical. A few yards here or there I could understand, but a 10% difference?? FFS.

 

This is a sort of comedy western, based around a high stakes poker game. I saw it years ago and loved it. Truth be told, I can't remember a great deal more about it, and don't want to spoil it for myself by looking it up, but I definitely remember enjoying it a lot.

 

So, even if you had been immune, through previous illness, vaccination or via maternal milk, you may not be anymore after having measles.

I had never heard this until today, and it's an absolutely horrifying thought.

You're welcome.

 

Per this thread, I'm wondering if it might be possible to create feeds of favourited people or communities.

I guess this would be similar to how multireddits worked and since that's not available on Lemmy, this might not be either. But maybe some smart person out there knows of a way.

It's not even me that wants to do it, but I'm invested in an answer now! :-)
