One, Chewbaca needs to be louder, angrier, and have access to a time machine. Two, whenever Chewie's not on screen, all the other characters should be asking "Where's Chewie"?

I mean yeah it was a shit film but it obviously had "business" being made because it was the highest grossing film ever for a while. I think it was the start of Holywood going out their way to crack the Chinese market (or at least the first time they did it successfully).

I'm sure this is common knowledge but Lyon's worker uprising in the 19th century is the origin of the word 'sabotage'. The workers were protesting against semi-automated loom weaving machines that used punch cards like primitive computers. When the managers weren't looking the workers would through their shoes (which were called "sabos") into the mechanism to break it.

Just got back from a holiday in Lyon. Super interesting place! I got the impression that the quality of life was good for the locals. Met a bunch of friendly Lyonnaise at a music festival and they were extremely generous sharing their party supplies.

Edit: I believe Lyon workers movement were also originators of slogans like "workers of the world unite"

There are at least 2 open source dating apps that I've seen, although one of them has 4chan branding. Not sure about the other.

Thanks for explaining

None of the above because I’m no longer a teenage edgelord

Do we need experts to tell us what the average enthusiastic gamer has been saying for years?

Guilty of the original set of charges as judged by a jury who had access to way more information than random people online. Now there are new charges being added.

I suspect people who are keen on her innocence are similar to other conspiracy theorists who feel important when they are being contrarian.

Vampire Survivors and the SMT gacha game.

I have a few emulators but the touch screen controls are torture.

My friends and I have "gaming nights" that involve about 45 mins of gaming before we all watch a Ken Russell movie or something similarly offbeat.

NixOS sounds like ansible in OS form and that has never seemed appealing. Happy to hear why my impression is wrong though!

You need to check PorntonDB

I'm somewhat proud my generation is actively seeking out parody porn. Those videos tend to be higher budget and more sex positive (less gonzo misogyny).

Edit: well, should caveat that by saying relatively less misogynist

This is the monkey's paw Year of the Linux desktop. I know we're wankers but didn't need reminding!

I watched on BBC iPlayer because I'm in the UK but someone might have posted them on YT.

Man, what a sad way to live their lives. I love "scaring the bros" music. Was watching Glastonbury festival on tv last weekend and the two best sets I caught were Charli XCX and Doechii.

I wish I had some to hand but I tend to look them up ad hoc when I'm arguing with strangers for imaginary internet points

Yeah I agree it's hard to say anything definitively. Especially if you are an armchair physician like me who read abstracts for random papers online.

I've read some studies that suggest people dying of lung cancer save the NHS money. They take up a lot of money in a lump sum but it tends to be incurable and kills them quite quickly. The alternative is people getting dementia or other degenerative cares and living for decades with round the clock care.

Oh well on the bright side we'll save a lot of money on late life social care
