Right?

Right now we also get Blackbirds, Robins, magpies, jackdaws, sparrows and blue tits everyday too. I like that they have a little oasis from the city in my garden!

Only three episodes in so far but have been enjoying El Eternauta (The Eternaut) an Argentinian apocalypse type show based on a comic of the same name.

I can't really offer much more info as I'm going in blind and haven't read the comics or anything but it has my intrigue up and looking forward to finding out more information as to what is going on.

It is also nice and refreshing to see an apocalypse type show that isn't based around the USA.

Don't know and don't really care to be perfectly honest. I live in a street that is predominantly students and I have to put up with loud parties and people screaming in the street outside my bedroom window pretty much every week, often multiple times a week.

My upstairs student neighbours this time last year left a tap on and then went out to party so I was woken up at around 1 am to the fire alarms shorting out and a waterfall coming through the light fittings in my living room.

Two days ago someone stood outside my house for around two hours between around 23:00 and 1:00 just smashing plates in the street every 5 mins or so.

So to be perfectly honest I couldn't care less how they feel about me feeding some pigeons a couple of times during the middle of the day. They can all go fuck themselves.

Bone conduction headphones.

I can run and cycle more safely being able to hear my surroundings as well as have some entertainment.

I can wear ear defence whilst working with industrial machines and still listen to music / audiobooks so that time doesn't drag so much. 15 years ago I'd be wearing over ear headphones with everything turned up so loud to try and drown out the machines that it was in no way good for my ears.

I can take acid, go for a walk in nature and soundtrack my trip as well. I love being able to hear the world around me but also mix in music to a good background level so I don't miss out on either audible delights.

I pretty much wear and use them for 8 - 12 hours, 6 days a week, love them!

For the general public I wouldn't put any albums from specific artists. Even an artist who is popular the world over the majority of the general public will only know their "hits" and not all the album tracks, so even if you were shuffling through albums there will be a lot of stuff people don't know and the general public generally just wanna hear the same shit over and over not explore catalogues.

So I would grab a load of popular compilation albums. I'd grab all those "now that's what I call music" slop, maybe some hits compilations from different decades and a few different mainline genres. Just stick to stuff that is mainstream as fuck.

Obviously where you are geographically will change what is most popular but you should have at least an idea of what is popular where you are anyway :D

Dungeon Siege is great, I used to play a lot of 2 online back in the day, loved the secret chicken level that gave me D2 cow level vibes. However the third game is fucking hot trash and was so disappointing on release.

Everyday like clock work, they know when the food will appear and will be here 30 mins beforehand to bathe and scratch around until food is served xD

Fuck no white bread. I buy 40kg of wild bird seed every month for them which consists of "homegrown small grain wheat, cut maize, red dari, black sunflowers, a mixture of millets with a dash of aniseed oil". They also gave some suet and berry pellets as a little treat here and there :D

Been playing this today, after waiting well over a year since the demo on steam and being super hyped it is pretty disappointing.

Looks great and love the car models and mods available but the handling model is dog shit. It is like playing NFS:Underground again. Tap a wall and you go flying up in the air, try and turn a corner during a "grip" event and slam into the wall as all the cars can do is under steer, it really doesn't handle well.

I wouldn't go as far to say it is bad, it is certainly playable but it was super disappointing for me so far after being so hyped for so long. They even pushed the release date back to polish it but it really doesnt seem that different compared to the 18 month old demo so fuck knows what they were polishing.

I played hundreds of hours in 1, 2 and the pre-sequel so you could say I enjoyed the games. I paid £3 for number three and I still feel ripped off!

Eh, Borderlands 3 successfully ruined the series for me and put interest at 0 for any following releases.

You can still buy rim brakes, they are just aren't very good at their primary function. Also if you find disc brake pads harder to change than rim brakes I think you are doing it wrong!

Yeh, I'm closing in on the half way point of the Deathlands books at this point xD

I think I would definitely still recommend the Infinite Timeline, the end wasn't bad by any stretch of the imagination but I did find it disappointing compared to the rest of the series if I'm being honest. I would still recommend people look into it though if it interests you!

Haven't responded to one of these for a while.

I finished the infinite series of books. There was Kaos and The Order which were pretty decent. In these two multiple books from the series are drawn together to bring all the characters in one place. Each of the books uniting different characters setting up for the final book.

Singularity, the culmination of all the books so far. It was OK, it was bearable but honestly it is probably the worst book in the series and a very Luke warm end to what has been a decent set of books. I think the thing I disliked most is Jeremy Robinson did a Stephen King in Dark Tower and wrote himself as the author into the last book. As soon as I realise he was gonna start appear my opinion went downhill fast. The book constantly tries to break the fourth wall and it was just a disappoint end tbh.

Meanwhile I'm up to 71 of the deathlands books and they are still great xD

Ah yes the assumption that because you have seen something many times, everyone must have!

There was no pretending to not understand the question either, I literally answered the question with my opinion.

Either way this conversation isn't going to go anywhere because you immediately made so many assumptions reading my first response that you decided then and there who is was, my experiences in life and how I'm trying to be so "clever" or some other shit.

Have a good day man!

Oh I see, some random person "tweeted" the same opinion that I have and you just presumed that I couldn't possibly have formulated the same opinion as this person and then given said opinion in a relevant discussion thread elsewhere on the internet?

Well if that is what you want to think then, cool?

Cheers for letting me know so that in the future I can do a search to see if anyone else in history has independently formed the same opinion as me and expressed it in a public forum. I wouldn't want to look like such an idiot again!

My saviour!

What the fuck are you talking about? where is there a tweet in this post? Where am I "pretending" I don't know what the question means?

I stated clearly that I thought it was a weird concept but that doesn't constitute "pretending not to know" something.

I dunno if you are confused and responding to the wrong comment or something but either way jog on.

Cool story but I knew what the question "meant" and answered it already.....

I've always found this a weird concept. I don't dream about working, I don't want to work. Making any activity I enjoy a job will automatically destroy the enjoyment as I am now obligated to do it.

So no dream job here, just a dream to have enough money to live comfortably without needing a shitty job!

I think this is probably my favourite Blink track of all time, so underrated! Couple it with the interlude from the album as an intro and it is just chefs kiss
