No Such Thing As A Fish podcast

How the fuck did he get a horse on the flight in the first place?

I’m not sure what being almost 10yrs post robocop makes me feel, but I don’t like it. This future isn’t what I was promised in the 80s, and while no killer robots is nice, I still feel a bit cheated

Either Piped, Invidious, or Peertube should do what you need

300kt is quite the warning shot. It’s verging on just being a shooty shot

Rarely arrives lubed

Is he now the remaster chief?

Aren’t Mildly Anxious Minnows playing Glastonbury this year?

Father of the gulag, founder of the Beatles

Climate change is a real problem, we need to be very worried about what kind of a world we leave for Keith Richards

Glad to see the Met taking the initiative and getting as many as possible in one place, by employing them

I was kinda being facetious, more of an F U finger than a serious suggestion.

In all honesty, I can’t see how this would be useful - either you’d have to use a finger that wouldn’t look natural, and give the game away, or use a thumb or index finger and constantly have to re-load your phone due to accidentally wiping it!

I’ve never used one, though a mate uses chat gtp constantly so I make him ask it things fairly often. However, I’ve just bookmarked DDG, that seems useful. If there’s a similarly private voice assistant for iOS (that works better than Siri) then I’d probably use that in preference to a traditional search engine a lot of the time

The print of the middle finger, one might suggest

I reckon watching the video by the civil-engineering-focused YouTube channel would be a good way to find out

Much like Israel used US missiles to kill people in Palestine, no?

I like it when I’m underestimated like that. “Stainless steel you say? Well we’ll see about that”

I’m currently plowing through the 9th of the Malazan books by Steven Erikson, and I don’t really want them to finish. One of the best bits of writing I’ve so far encountered.

I’ve got a foot-high stack of Sanderson to help me get over it though, so that’s ok.

The Malazan books are in some ways comparable to the Stormlight books, but they are a lot more dense and there’s almost no hand-holding whatsoever. The story is detailed, spread over several continents, and has tons of important characters. You’re expected to remember things from several thousand pages ago without there being any recap, and frankly I like it. When each book is already around 1300 pages, and there’s 10 of them, constant recaps would do my nut in. There’s a good dramatis personae, and a glossary in each book, which helps.

It’s not surprising that he’d get the occasional submarine malfunction, at his age
