I know 3/5, Mantzoukas, Martin and Baynton should all be great. If you can stomach X still, seek out Martin's short skits there, those are great.

Is Nintendo the only console producer whose consoles get used for mega LAN events? I was at a regional Pokemon event the other day where there were 500+ people playing Switch within a few tens of metres of each other. Aside from the fact that wireless gear could enable cheating, the wireless interference would be a real issue.

I’m glad OK Go are still going, there’s nobody who does anything like what they do.

I am not into this song at all though, and this video is a terrifying nightmare.

Can anyone name the game boy tune they're using for the ad music? Sounds familiar.

That’s claymation for you. I’m wondering how much they can actually produce in two years.

Honestly I’m excited for this. I hope Aardman stay true to their roots and just give us silly Pokémon hijinks in a northern English town.

KZ ES4 were recommended by DankPods as great cheap wired headphones, in the UK they’re £20 and a replacement cable is £10. They’re 3.5mm so you’d also need a USB-C dongle. Not exactly BIFL but I liked them, although I daily drive AirPods now because the convenience factor is just so much higher.

This weekend I was literally buying 3D printed parts off a kid on our estate. I want my own but I have to go through the mother of all garage clearances first. Then I will be straight down that rabbithole.

That's really interesting to know, thank you! Was that through the Right to Choose process, or did you just go to the NHS post-titration and say "gib drugs pls"?

I guess, but has there not been a conversation about vapes in that time? The risk profile is different but as far as I know cancer is still a concern?

Eh, if the structure as described (members list their interests and sit out where there is a conflict of interest) is working as intended then I don’t see why she can’t have a job giving opinions on the cancer risk of eggs or asbestos or whatever. She might even be positioned well to understand those risks.

But it absolutely stretches credulity that an org focusing on cancer has not had a discussion she needed to sit out of in five years. Which means either the structure is not working as described (bad), she’s lying out of her arse (worse), or this org is simply not having these incredibly important discussions (catastrophic).

Hold on, in the last five years of the UK Gov's Committee on Carcinogens, smoking and vaping haven't come up once? Are we to take her at her word for that? If so that's insane. Obviously if it isn't then she needs to be out of there so fast her feet don't touch the ground.

 

I bought a Thule Crossover eight years ago and the zip on it has finally gone. Short of getting a local seamstress to fit a new zip, I think it's time for a new one, and am a bit tempted by the Thule Crossover 2 30l. Are Thule still good? Is there anything else of the same sort of size that I should be considering?

 

A by-election will be triggered in his Kingswood seat.
