This is a fun song, and boy do we need as much fun stuff as we can get nowadays. I've not voted in the #Eurovision for a long time but I think I may give points to Britain this year.

We used to talk to one another in the computer rooms using Netsend before it was deemed to be (rightfully so) a security hole in Windows NT. Never used ICQ much either but made good friends on IRC back in the day.
#Orion forever!

Is it available on audiobook? I remember looking for it a while back but couldn't find it.

Interesting, I can't think of a similarly evocative term in British English. Thanks for the explanation
"Spruiking"??
Every now and then a new #metal band emerges that truly blows me away. Some have been around a while others less so. This week I discovered #Tailgunner (Yes named after the Iron Maiden song), a truly refreshing young band with a classic sound, Highly recommended

Not for me thanks. The whole point of "AI" is for robots to adapt to humans, not the other way round. If we need training then so do they (using non copyrighted material obviously).
Also, isn't the country supposed to be broke? How are they paying for this?
I'm glad to hear the site of the old Royal High School in Edinburgh won't be turned into a hotel but into the National Centre for Music, opening 2028.
I'm curious to see how it'll bring more music to the city.

That's pretty shocking news, Native Instruments, one of the largest companies in music making software, is in preliminary insolvency.
This will have some serious ramifications for both users and employees

The highly anticipated version of Ride the Lightning by #Megadeth is here and it's surprisingly close to the original. I expected Dave to put some twist on it. You can tell Teemu isn't challenged enough though ๐ค

I would guess most are just looking for follow-backs, they don't typically care who they follow.
It's a little more complex than worrying about how much protein we should eat. Balanced diets also include fats and carbohydrates and we need all 3 in balanced amounts depending on our goals (losing fat vs gaining muscle for instance)
A few years ago I did a daily writing exercise where you just write what a single word inspires you. Re-reading it today some of this stuff is pretty deep. I'm not sure if I should publish it or resume doing it or both.
I don't even recall where this exercise came from

What's The Traitors? Another reality show?
Watching the induction of #Rush in the Rock n' Roll hall of fame feels so bittersweet. On stage there's Neil Peart and Taylor Hawkins and Chris Cornell, all of them now gone...

Does it fix the fact that hiding a post in the app doesn't also hide it on the web and vice versa? Because that's a tad irritating
That is stunning!!
"The X-Men will return in Avengers Doomsday"
I wonder if these weekly teasers will lead to an actual trailer some time soon

Happy new year to all. May you find the will to be the best person you can be for yourself and those you love ๐ฅณ
It's worth a shot but no guarantee it'll go anywhere, especially if newsletters are being distributed via a third party service.
Just something to keep in mind
It's not a bad idea in principle but most companies send newsletters from addresses that cannot be replied to so you'll have to find an address that won't send your reply in the no-reply void first.
Second teaser (which was also leaked though this one wasn't shown before Avatar 3) for #Avengers #Doomsday just dropped featuring #Thor
I wonder if they'll do one for each character. I heard the third teaser features the X-Men

Strongly starting to suspect I have a mild-ish case of Raynaud's disease judging by how easily my fingers get cold in not so low temperatures.
This on top of everything else, sucks to get old y'all...
Went to see #Avatar Fire and Ash tonight. The visuals are stunning as in all Avatar movies but the plot was very similar to Way of Water and it could have been a tad shorter. Still it was enjoyable, I was particularly impressed by the sound design for the Tulkun.
Ice hockey matches here in Finland are quite a lot different from the Scottish league back home...

When I first saw the #aurora in Lapland in 98 I only had an old point&shoot film camera, it could capture nothing.
Now my phone is the point&shoot and takes rather amazing photos. I'm so grateful this is possible.
