Hey, sorta related, have you ever been to a strip club? I went a single time with some friends when we were early twenties and I just could not understand the point. Exactly like you said here, it’s not like I can do anything about it if I get horny, so why am I here? Me and another friend just left early and walked home.
Say you are in the lead of a race and there is like two laps remaining, and you have someone close behind. Like Max and Lando. Has it ever happened, or has anyone ever considered letting someone pass them on the second to last lap, with the expectation that they would have DRS on the last lap and get the lead back and win?
Seconded, much cheaper than Netflix as well. Game Changer is so good, some of the D20 is good (especially Abria’s (is that how you spell it) seasons), Breaking News is sometimes really good and sometimes whiffs hard for me.
I tend to subscribe for a couple of months and then cancel, something which the CEO recommends. Also recommends password sharing with friends. Also pays and treats workers well (according to their own advertising). Mainly left leaning outlook without being overtly political which I like.
The first one, “Space Babies” was alright, but felt too childish. “The Devils Chord” didn’t hit for me because they just didn’t have the budget for really being able to explore a higher level being of such power....
Episode three started very strong for me (even if it did have the usual sledgehammer-to-the-head subtlety in its political messaging), but when Splice arrived at the landmine it went downhill so fast. Started with a really good premise, well thought-out logical steps of why everything happened as it did.
But in the second half, they just kept throwing more characters and more BS at the problem and trying to pull on audience emotions instead of telling a good story. Like, how does the Doctor holding a corpse mean it’s connected to the Internet? I am holding my phone and touching a microwave - is my microwave now connected to the Internet through me??
And gotta agree with OP, Moffat has apparently never met a child in his life. She must have the strongest faith ever to not even flinch after her dad dies. But hang on - why did she go looking for dad if it doesn’t matter whether he dies? And why was she upset when Ruby died?
He’s a child of God and therefore worthy of love. Trump obviously sucks, but Jesus said “love your neighbour” and that includes Trump. Of course, God would send Trump to hell when he dies so bit of a mixed message there. Religion is weird sometimes…
I have always called a light top with a full zipper to be a jacket, however the people I’m surrounded by insist on calling it a sweatshirt. I’m prepared to be wrong, just wondering if I’m the only one.
That particular thing is a hoodie. Without the hood it’s a jacket. Without a zip (as in, it goes over your head to put it on) it’s a jumper. I think sweatshirt is an American word
I’ve been driving a van for a couple of years now, but I’m much more used to driving a car. My van is heavier and has much less power than my car and I sometimes have trouble merging onto fast roads so I’m looking for any insight from more experienced van drivers....
Couldn’t find any mirrors better than what I already have, but I had a chance at a couple of tricky merges recently. I took your advice on being a bit more confident and I was able to pick my spot better and communicate more clearly to other drivers. I think that internalising that I’m not in a car has helped. Thanks again :)

Sick and feel like I’ve hit the end of Netflix, Prime, … Is there a community about what everyone is streaming/recommending?
Is this season just not hitting for anyone else?
