sweetchildintime,

I don’t know the Absinthe Fairy, but I’ve met the Whisky Fairy more than once.

sweetchildintime,

I saw him a couple of times in the late '70s. Absolutely awesome live performer.

sweetchildintime,

I remember the days before internet ads. You’d be rushing to finish a (Lotus 1-2-3) spreadsheet that your boss wanted ASAP and some fool would stick her head through the window and wave a dead chicken in your face. The '90s were hell.

sweetchildintime,

I may not know anything about art but I know what I like.

sweetchildintime,

The whole band are outstanding in this performance.

sweetchildintime,

This performance was mimed, as TV shows of this era often were, but the drummer is really taking the piss.

sweetchildintime,

I think he threw them. They were all talented musicians but probably starting to get a bit pissed off with their pop career by this point.

sweetchildintime,

I only discovered them via Teenage Fanclub, who basically took Big Star’s sound and built a career on it.

sweetchildintime,

C’mon man, this was posted yesterday.

sweetchildintime,

Completely bonkers. I love it.

sweetchildintime,

Beats me. How can Burdon + funk possibly be bad?

Rumors of Audi backtracking not true, "Audi past the point of no return" (youtu.be)

Michael Schmidt from AMS talked to Andreas Seidl. He said investments ongoing. Schmidt thinks that the source of those rumors may be some in the Audi hierarchy who may not like the move but the ball is rolling, “Audi past the point of no return” and can’t backtrack now.

sweetchildintime,

There’s always an option to backtrack, though it would likely come with a substantial monetary and reputational cost.

sweetchildintime,

Blake is reliably bonkers. I love his stuff.

sweetchildintime, (edited )

You’re not wrong, but jail time and justice is not what motivates HMRC, or any other revenue department. They want one thing, and one thing only: The money. Putting people in jail costs money, letting rich people 'fess up and pay up is much more lucrative.

sweetchildintime,

Well, other than the fact that we don’t live in a perfect society (have you noticed yet?), because a rich, famous, influential 92 yo is probably the last person the authorities want in jail.

sweetchildintime,

I dislike Bernie intensely, but let’s not kid ourselves that the current F1 owners are motivated by anything except how much money they can screw out of the sport.

sweetchildintime,

Linux is fine for people like you and me who are comfortable installing our own operating system, and trouble-shooting any problems. Most ‘normal’ people though will continue to walk into a store, buy a laptop, and use whatever came installed.

Of course, the year of Linux on the desktop actually happened some time ago without anyone noticing. It’s called ChromeOS, and that’s a whole different can of worms.

sweetchildintime,

They certainly have options, though I’m not convinced Tsunoda, Ricciardo or Lawson are necessarily better options.

sweetchildintime,

Oh no, please tell me this isn’t true. Surely the well balanced and entirely rational Mr. Musk wouldn’t let this happen?

sweetchildintime,

That’s hardly a Linux-specific problem. There are plenty of Windows problems I’ve encountered where running some random dude’s registry update script is the recommended answer. If you are running anything with Admin / Root rights in any OS you had better understand what you’re doing.
