  • I recently chatted with someone at a party who said "no, all American beers are bad" including microbrewery beers.

    That person has not tried "all" American beers. So their view can be safely disregarded IMO.

  • A pint. Preferably of a nice cold lager, but I'm open to suggestions.

  • Ha, maybe :-)

    I generally enjoy that sort of thing, Godfather, Goodfellas, Donnie Brasco, etc but the Sopranos is just so big, I need to set aside some time to watching it. I have the first 4 seasons on DVD, but never watched them yet!

  • Only ever seen one episode of The Sopranos (enjoyed it, but never went back for some reason).

    Never seen:

    • One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
    • Game of Thrones
    • Oppenheimer (nor Barbie)
    • Forrest Gump
    • Saving Private Ryan
    • To Kill a Mockingbird
    • Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
    • Rocky Horror Picture Show
    • Rocky (seen 2-4, but not the original)
    • Nightmare on Elm Street
    • Good Morning Vietnam
    • Braveheart
    • Brokeback Mountain
    • Borat
    • Any of the Daniel Craig Bond movies
  • Not really interested in mounting a counter argument.

    Nazis invaded multiple countries, caused a war that killed tens of millions, and systematically tried to wipe out an entire people.

    Fuck their ideology, and fuck them.

  • Yeah, PS4 here - but I'm itching to get back into Half Life 2 again... :-)

  • Yeah - that and family time too of course, bit anti-social if I head straight back to the office after dinner 😁

  • I work from home, but yeah, as soon as the day is over I kind of need to get away from the PC for a bit.

    Which is a shame, because I also love (or loved) PC gaming, and have a bunch of great games which I never feel like playing because they're "at work".

  • That seems really cool, although the first things I checked out were Deep House and Deep Vocal House, and the music that played really didn't sound right at all. So, I'm not sure how reliable it is. Great idea though.

    EDIT - excellent choice for Acid House though, Energy Flash by Joey Beltram šŸ‘Œ

  • Would Songhoy Blues fit this category? They're excellent.

    Will check out Tamikrest when I get a chance.

  • if something is rated 7/10 I'd assume it's better than something rated 3.5 stars / 5.

    I think I probably would too. And yet, I would tend to instinctively think of 70% as worse than 7/10, even though that makes no sense.

  • They could speed up image sharing by reverting to the old share within Photos functionality that was three taps faster than the new version, and by removing the utterly pointless "Image already in conversation" restriction.

  • I think that does change things.

    I was previously inclined towards something like, "He's your brother, and I would try and say to him that while you disagree with him as fully as it's possible to, you will still be there because he's your brother, and that still means something to you" or similar. Something that might get him to understand that this isn't easy for you.

    However, if you were already at his actual wedding, and this is just a party in another country, nah - tbh, I think it'd be fair to give it a miss even if he wasn't being a Nazi apologist.

  • So that Trump can swoop in and "save" it.

  • Yeah, ours went down this year too. Which was nice.

  • Yeah, would have been handy. I really don't drive very often, but probably worth doing anyway.

  • Couple of years ago, I ended up driving into the side of this guy who, coming from the lane to the left of me suddenly decided he needed to make a right turn to the exit on my right.

    There were no cameras, so in the end the insurance companies agreed to split the blame 50:50. I'm still furious about it! 😁
