Comment on Inside inventor Simone Giertz’s small Los Angeles home, 58sqm/630sqft in ~design

I've been trying to find something decent for my own dog now he's getting older, but so far everything I find seems to have been in either extremes end of the scale being cheap & flimsy or bespoke & very expensive. -

In that prior to their appearance on Taskmaster they've been active in the UK comedy circuit / appeared in UK comedy TV shows.
On a slightly different note, Series 20 will be very interesting in regards to who they have, since it's been hinted by Alex & the two Andy's that they have something special planned for that one.

Having said that, he also feels like he'll be a great fit and really looking forward to seeing how he approaches everything.

Slystuff It was definitely stimulating! I might have left it running a little long to the point of spotting where some of the assets that you add start looping though. The ending feels so relaxing...It was definitely stimulating! I might have left it running a little long to the point of spotting where some of the assets that you add start looping though.
The ending feels so relaxing especially after the previous "upgrade".

That EU Just Eat is the parent company compared to US Grub Hub.
I guess given the way most tech companies operate it feels like it's normally the other way around. -

Something like this may be good (my dad's used similar to insulate his shed that doubles as his workshop), though I imagine you'll also want another boarding layer to cover it to keep the space looking nice?

Anyone not familiar the town in day to day life may know it from The Office (original UK version). -

That reminded me of something I'd forgotten about but I think also played a big factor in the backlash. The Leaks that happened between covid postponement and release, showing a lot of the big narrative moments in the game out of sequence/context.
Link to it in case anyone wants to watch that hasn't already seen it.

Having had time to process it:
The backlash it got at the time was massively overblown. I actually liked the split narrative approach, and how it gave a different perspective on events
Since the October Humble Choice games have been out I've been playing Station to Station, loving the cozy vibe as I work out the best way to connect locations.

I uesd to have Spotify, but got a bit frustrated when trying to find certain soundtracks I wanted to listen to, only to find them either incomplete or missing on the service. So went back to my old collection and looked into a way to make it accessible to me everywhere.

Though as others have said for the most people, music is a solved problem with the likes of Spotify, Amazon Music and Youtube Music covering that space with their own vast library's of easy to access music.

Slystuff At this point in time the main successors could be argued to have surpassed OiNK. Maybe not in terms of the community, but in terms of the vast reach of the library that they had/have. Having said...At this point in time the main successors could be argued to have surpassed OiNK. Maybe not in terms of the community, but in terms of the vast reach of the library that they had/have.
Having said that I did miss out on OiNK entirely, so I can only judge by what I saw that came afterwards, but feel a similar loss for What.CD. rip rippy

Comment on Ichi the Witch - Chapter 1 in ~anime

Nothing too crazy for me personally
Surround
Monitor Audio Silver 7G, 100's for Front Left/Right C250 for Center and FX for surrounds. This is paired with a SVS PB-1000 Pro, all connected to a Denon 4800h.
Mainly this set up is for films / games, but do also occasionally use it for locally streaming music.
Earphones
A pair of Shure se-425's that have been used for a long time now, to the point I have no idea what's a good replacement when they do eventually die.
Others
Otherwise some inherited audio equipment that I've yet to properly set up. (had it set up for a little while but currently being stored)
Exposure VII & VIII pre-amp and amp, Ditton 100 bookshelf speakers, that have seen better days and will potentially get replaced at some.
