A dude I used to work with left his wife to deal with the newborn.
It was so bad between dayshifts that he used to leave the house at 2am and just sit in a motorway service station with a coffee for a few hours just to get some peace before coming to work.
If I tried that, my other half would stab me in the face.
I mean, very few people would report symptoms of a runny nose or a fever after licking the socket…

Depends on what it was thinking about really. The really rapid clicking noise was generally the mechanical hard drive heads seeking and moving quickly. You could tell if it had been thinking too hard for too long when the mechanical drive sounded like it had sneezed quietly (I’m not joking), that’s when you started to back stuff up rather quickly.
The more single-tone longer-note experience was generally reserved for the floppy disks.
The quiet mechanical spin-up noise was often an optical drive spinning the media - usually a CD - up to it’s normal reading speed, and you quickly forgot about it.
If it sounded like it was thinking like a early morning bird with a hangover, they were reminiscent of the early 90min tape drives. More industrial drives didn’t make that noise thankfully.
The aircraft engine type noise was generally one or more of the case fans giving it some VTEC love to cool a component that was running hot, or if someone smashed the Turbo button.
Good on her. Fingers crossed, we’ll see more filter into the league game, and maybe even see a woman top the list of best candidates for a national team manager role.
The Premier League missed a trick with Sarina Wiegman. I know it’s also dependent on vacancies and whether Wiegman wants another job, but that would be an excellent next step for her.
It certainly ended up at a house party.
I suppose it’s not clear when they decided they weren’t for each other.
Sounds fuckin’ mint to be fair.
Get me some tourism and carbs.
how the fuck are they not extinct?
As hilarious and arguably far more entertaining as this is, whatever happened to the age-old “well I’ve had a good night but maybe we’re better suited as friends, time for me to boost, speak to you tomorrow” parting?
I mean, it’s an interesting viewpoint, but I’m not sure I’m entirely on board.
The professions listed are indeed ones where to tell lies could be a direct causal factor in causing harm, so I’m with you with that.
Outwith those safety critical environs though, I’m not sure I like the idea of free speech being curtailed by that degree. As much as I hate it. It’s a big leap from where we are now to “lock them up because they’re lying”. I quite like freedom to drop such wild mistruths such as “no mate the sky is green” or " your relative died peacefully" or “Arsenal are a good football team”.
Cool discussion point though.
I have read the Tale but not the sequel. I have no desire to. Even though it ended on a cliffhanger, I felt the core story had been told well.
Is this Pluribus season 2?
I’m not sure off the top of my head if that’s the Republic of Ireland or the Côte d’Ivoire flag but I suspect neither of them play a role in their imagined politics.
FH1 was absolutely brilliant. Combined with a racing wheel, it genuinely felt like the Forza Motorsport series had been let loose, literally.
Each subsequent FH release has just been… cool, I guess? The next four iterations weren’t really groundbreaking and it felt like map packs than new games.
The soundtrack has consistently been absolutely banging though
Yeah nah. Fuck you.
For context, this is worth a watch for some post Unreal and pre-GoW Epic MegaGames, and CliffyB’s autobiography is worth a read too.
I used to like Tim Sweeney. A guy who rewarded hard work and loyalty, and when a big paycheque guaranteed the company’s future.
Now, it’s just a content stripping studio that fucks over any notion of creativity or loyalty. Fortnite - a really decent shooter at it’s core - is just awash with lazy crossover MTX now, and I’m still fucking salty about how Save The World was left to die even when Battle Royale was bringing in megabucks.
To add insult to injury, there’s a trove of early MegaGames titles begging for a 3D entry, or even just another decent Unreal game that could make the world forget about HL3 for five minutes.
Fuck you Epic. There’s enough money and ideas to go around. They’re just not staying in the company and going into greedy bastard’s pockets.
Fucking hell now you’re asking, it’s been fifteen years or more since I watched it and I was late to the party then!!
Wasnt B4 “lost to time” - but then reappeared ten years later or something after being used on a Minbari mission?
As long as we don’t do prequels.
Babylon 4 might have a bit of a delay.
I think that’s a very uncharitable take on the post.
Whereas that lexical interpretation exists, I think OP’s point is “why would anyone work for MrBeast” as opposed to “why did this particular person work for him”.
