Christopher Nolan films.

Maybe young people gave up reading newspapers because a) yes they can actually read and b) there are so many articles telling them they are shit?

That first big dip in the middle of the chart is when I was born. Sorry, I guess?

Even worse, different TVs and radios have varying delays. So you can no longer have the same programme on in multiple rooms without a bad echo or even a multi-second lag (back in analogue days you could watch Top of the Pops on TV and listen to it on Stereo Radio 1 FM in perfect sync)

No but it almost made me pack it in.

That's definitely it. I love Chinese takeaway curry, there's a moment for it isn't there? When you want something curry-adjacent but not authentic.

The movies didn't get any better either.

Clint's hangups leaked into Sully: Miracle on the Hudson to the extent the real guy had to make it clear things didn't happen that way.

Throw off your mental chains, ooh ooh ooh.

It's painful to watch isn't it? There's someone in this thread boasting about how they tried it in about ten different chatbots, my only question is 'why did you bother?'. Do they think it makes them look clever or proactive or something?

Favourite song 10 minutes or longer:

You can do a gig with my Cardiff-based Vince Clark and Feargal Sharkey tribute act, The Welsh Assembly.

I'm so old I remember "safe pair of hands".

Someone told me the pre-amp of choice in a lot of outside broadcast stuff was the Behringer ADA8200. Dunno if it's true but it's nice to imagine people crying about it.

I find it hard not to read the 'food preparation areas' paragraph in the Sleaford Mods voice.

What's happened to all the document leaking outfits? You'd think it'd be easier to get stuff out now everything's stored on the cloud. Maybe there just aren't any interesting documents any more 🤷

An office I worked in used the old-style network cables that run from one machine to the next with T connectors etc. If he was last in the office, the boss would take some connectors home with him, then swan in mid-morning after we'd turned the place upside down trying to find the problem.

If the computer is so clever, why don't they ask it what useful things it can do?

(I am aware this is basically Sam Altman's pitch)

(I am also aware this is basically a Douglas Adams' joke)

It was national treasure Jeremy Paxman who came out with "North London geek" and no-one batted an eyelid, it was obviously a different time you see (a decade ago).

Luxembourg

"This is him here"

I nearly bought the whole range off ebay during the lockdown. Kind of regret not doing it now, they were going for a song.

A thimble of miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiilllllllllllllk

I was very impressed by your range of accents.

You can say something like 'boomers have no self awareness' and one will be along in seconds to reply 'not this boomer!'

Having a staff member bowl up and place a reserved sign on the table you're sitting at is a special moment. Just tell us to fuck off, it would be more polite.

I hope Modeselektor are back, we need them.

Yeah they were all learn to code about five years ago. How did that go?

Xpander just came on shuffle as I read this.
