My dad has this long running bit, that if I needed his help on something, he needed to go to the shop to get a “round tuit”. I remember asking what store he had to go to, and how much it cost, and being annoyed at how he hadn’t gotten a round tuit yet.
He must have thought I was really committed to the bit.
I thought the theory that it affected childhood brains was based on the damage it cause to frontal lobe development? And the notion that it was up to age 21 was based on that erroneous “The frontal cortex is developed at 25 years old” study, that actually just stopped looking at patients older than 25?
Opposite monkey paw situation, as cows are no longer farmed due to the poison risk, global emissions are massively reduced. And the huge amounts of land dedicated to feeding cows is returned to forestry, further reducing emissions.
The poisonous cows solve climate change long before the vegans can.
Jokes on you, the trash heap is now deliciously seasoned.
Why did you buy your pet some ashes?
I said I’d make a musical RPG video game, and spent the last six years as a solo Dev for it. It’s now coming to steam at the end of this year.
Next I want to write a musical set in New Zealand about the Maori Land Wars. I have two Maori brothers who were embarrassed of their skin colour (rural NZ is pretty racist). I want to show how formidable and powerful a people the Maori were/are, in a style akin to Les Mis.
I played Paper Mario for the N64 and had a blast, super good game that I couldn’t put down. Nice to know there are N64 games I’ve never played that still hold up
I don’t understand how you pick a team if you werent born in an area with a team. Like, as a New Zealander, how can I get excited for a premiere league team that I essentially pick at random?
It really was excellent in its infancy, once you’d honed your algorithm. Some of the funniest, sharpest content on the internet at the time, with a really tight knit in-joke machine - reminiscent of early internet communities. It boomered up and burnt out, but there was certainly a spark there.
Calling someone a Muppet. In NZ (and to a lesser degree, UK/Australia), it’s a common thing to call someone who’s being an idiot. Not sure why. I think as a nation we generally like the Muppets, but not someone who’s being a Muppet.
Melbourne Australia: ~75/30mbps. Was getting 1000/1000 at my last place near the city, but we bought a house in a forest.
Thanks to the left wing government, we’ll get upgraded to 1000/1000 in 1.5 years.
Flyscreen on my windows has stopped me ever needing to kill flies.
I wonder if meat eaters think vegetarians don’t like meat? I loved eating meat, I hanker for burgers and steaks as much as the next man. I grew up on a farm, I’m not some bleeding heart. But I figured I gotta put my money where my mouth is, I couldnt say I was an environmentalist and not do the one biggest thing an individual can.
“may be a placebo”
My friend, there is no “may”.
I went to Thailand for a holiday, came back a bum-gun convert. For ~$50, we installed one onto our toilet and haven’t looked back - there’s no need when everything’s spotless.
That’s just ahoy. Ahoy-hoy is Mr Burns.
Vegan supermarket cheese is awful, but if you can find a cashew cheese they’re really good. My go to are the more upmarket supermarkets.
Very few cartoons are broadcast live, it’s a terrible strain on the animator’s wrists.
