He's bound to read it here. What better place to write it.

My friend does not use platforms like this. I know him better than you do.

Ditto. Both my wife and I were heavy smokers and moved to vapes. As soon as I used a vape I thought "this is the solution!" after trying to quit smoking many times for decades.

They really provide 80 to 90% of the satisfaction of a cigarette and take the edge off those moments when you damn well need a ciggie.

After a couple of years of vaping I find it now much easier to do without them for a few days, although I do like one with a beer.

You have to have been on that 10 or 20 year journey of smoking cigarettes to understand how hard they are to put down, and vaping was the tool that got me away from burning the evil tobacco leaf.

I just sent you one.

I'm in my late fifties, and my best friend who regularly takes me hiking (he's ex-Coldstream Guards) is a Brexiteer and I'm a Remainer.

We meet maybe once every couple of months, and it's always the first thing he wants to talk about - he's firmly in the "this is not the Brexit I voted for" camp.

I don't want to bad mouth him because he's my dearest of friends but give it a rest mate. I want talk about who's playing at our local dive bar next week, I'm not bothered about Brexit any more.

Ditto. Happy Malwarebytes customer here. Would be very interested to hear the issue.

What and why?

Mate, I'm 189cm (6'2.4) and manage perfectly well in a 737 bathroom whichever function I need to perform, so I'm not sure what the issue is. Your girth maybe?

I do this and you are completely correct.

Here's a handy way to tell if something's true or not:

Is it true?

• Did Vladimir Putin say it's true?
  No: Possibly true, acquire more data
  Yes: 100% categorically not true

How would that work? Nuclear reactors are, AFAIK, not capable of very much beyond getting extremely hot.

Would that heat be used to cause rapid expansion of, for example, a lightweight solid into its gaseous form for propulsion?

Or is there something new up Putin's short sleeves.

I'm aware that the US proposed (and perhaps tested) the use of continuous, rhythmic nuclear bombs as a method of propulsion for space flight, but abandoned it as too erratic.

Of course I meant "head" when I said "nut" as I guess you already knew.

Nevertheless the only wank I'd get off a Radiohead song would be a crywank. I don't doubt or challenge their creative skills. I just find my life force ebbing away to their whining, dreary songs. I know they speak right into some people's souls, but not mine.

Also, I'd be willing to put down a wager that there are more Radiohead tribute acts than Muse tribute acts because Radiohead are easier to emulate because they aren't as good.

You'll find fewer people able to play confidently on a full grand piano, then leap away from it, pick up a Manson Signature and start making it scream like a banshee.

(The Dutch tribute called "Musest" are an exception, their frontman nails it.)

I just don't like Radiohead, sorry. I recognize that this won't be popular but so be it. I think we're both smart enough to know that arguing about music won't result in any minds being charged, but I'll die on this hill if need be.

Thank you. Your comment/advice has completely validated my switch over to Lemmy.

Muse are Radiohead + actual musical knowledge and multi-instrument talent.

Muse make me want to bang my nut off with joy. Radiohead, not so much.

Some people play music as they commit suicide. It'd be interesting to see if there is any correlation between the two.

As soon as I hear the opening bars of "Creep" I find myself involuntarily making nooses and looking round the room for something that could take my weight.
