If I know my bad Japanese movies correctly, the radiation is going to mutate that robot until it is 80 feet tall and only Gamera will be able to stop it.

Ergonomic chairs are also a solution to an often self-inflicted problem. Mainly doing all kinds of things to your body when you're young that you don't realize you'll regret when you're older.

Are ergonomic chairs a bad thing?

I'm not, I'm a Flying Squid.

You couldn't take those sort of things out of live recordings back then.

Correct. By Quincy Jones. But I had no idea there were lyrics!

 

I get a song stuck in my head and end up having to look up everyone who ever covered it. This one is one of the weirdest I've encountered.

I've seen it before. It's some trendy thing I don't get because don't you have to wait for the tank to fill back up before you can wash your hands with water more than just a trickle?

I don't normally get claustrophobic, but if I had to sit on that toilet...

And fucking hate socks apparently. Unless they're wearing the grippy kind they have in hospitals.

See, this is why I said shut up...

It seemed like the person I was talking to didn't. The implication was that tape was viable as long-term storage. It isn't. I've seen tapes rot after a year. DATs were especially prone to that, but even things like 2" multitrack audio tape can go bad that quickly.

As a former audio engineer in the days where we still used it- tape can rot.

 

I'm still not sure why there is vegetarian Spam, but...

 

The game is Word Cookies by Bitmango. I contacted them but haven’t heard back. I’m guessing it was just an oversight, but it still pissed me off.

 

Picture of Difford and Tilbrook playing Hourglass since I didn’t take a picture of the guy who paid an admission fee to sit in a loud room and do crosswords on his phone.

 

No, I don't want to buy one. This came out of a discussion about my brother, who is so much weirder than me if you can believe it, who owns a real human skull.

I don't know how he got it. I don't know where he got it from, maybe this company, more importantly, I don't know why he would want such a thing. He is not a scientist, he works in IT. He did get an MFA in theater, wanted to be a professional theater director and loves Shakespeare, I can't believe the reason was because he wanted Hamlet to be super authentic.

We're not all that close, so it really hasn't come up in conversation. I only know about it because he posted elsewhere a while back that he was on a Zoom meeting at work and he showed it off and couldn't understand why everyone stopped laughing and got silent. So obviously he thinks it's cool to own it.

It used to be a person. I'm an atheist and I don't believe in an afterlife, but that's just basic disrespect.

Anyway... how can you ethically source a skull and then sell it on the open market?
