I don’t know, can you??

…and other great 90s teacher questions!

It’s a banger in fairness. Reminds me of:

Classic

was this cropped by David Blunkett?

Mad optical drive respect.

Giving people the ability to play 90s games and burn fire mix CDs like it’s 2k all over again.

I suppose the TV licence in the UK is a sort of paywall, even if it is made of swiss cheese and enforced by folk with all the legal standing of Larry the Head Mouser or whatever moggy it is now.

I pay it, but I’m loathed to now. Not because I watch any live TV or BBC programming, but because I use the BBC News site a metric fucktonne and I suppose I justify it to myself as funding the BBC News department rather than Graham Norton’s salary.

Maybe I’ll fuck it off though. I do fancy a letter war with Capita or whoever managed the enforcement these days.

“why can’t we get a mortgage?”

“Well I bought a hot dog on a payment plan for a laugh, and I defaulted on a 38 cent payment”

“oh no”

Brooks be spinning in his grave so fast, you could wire him up to a dynamo and power a small African country

I hear you, the issue for me is that a third of your country people voted for the cunt, another third didn’t care enough not to vote against the cunt, which leaves a large majority of Americans complicit in this - enough in my view to effectively use the term as a blanket reference to most people in the country.

Speaking on a more granular level, I wish you well and the best of luck - but the majority of your population can go fuck themselves.

Go somewhere public and call a girl a chick, see what happens 😂

Seriously though, it’s not the word that’s the issue, it’s the labelling of someone based on their gender. I can’t speak for the bottom line as I don’t appear to be a woman, but I’d start getting fucked off if a generic term was used to address me when I had a perfectly good name.

In the UK, an equivalent is “bird”. Equally likely to get you booted in the balls.

Yeah laser units are pretty much indestructible in decent conditions. Can yours be connected by USB or parallel instead?

We bought a laser printer during the pandemic to keep the kids occupied with educational tasks and general craft type models.

It has been fucking awesome this past few years. It has supported the weight of many a schoolbag, been a home for car keys, kept a judo gi flat for a few days, and has even proven to be a worthy store of the multitude of swimming goggles we seem to accumulate.

Oh, it’s printed a couple of documents too. I can’t remember the last time I refilled the paper tray.

I’m guessing you’ve got a study that backs that assertion up as well?

Thank you for your public service announcement!

I know this a gross oversimplification, but:

“Remote working benefit those with a reason to stay home, but doesn’t for those who don’t have a reason to stay home” seems to be the general idea of the headline.

edit: I think this is the study they’re talking about, please double check the source before quoting: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36718392/

My other half’s mam fuckin’ loves Candy Crush, plays it most (if not every) night, maybe clears a level or two.

What really makes me smile is that whenever she drops a bollock and effectively renders a grid unwinnable, she’ll take the L and come back tomorrow. Fuck the MTX and fuck the extra time/re-rolls/level skips; she just goes back the following day and tries again.

Mad respect, if nothing else than to be the marginal player base that fucks with the “line goes up” metric.

ain’t no harm skibidi ohio guy, don’t got time fo the low-rizz crowd, no cap

If I could have crowbarred “moist” in there somewhere too, I’d have set the lexical tiktok on fire.

…if there is even one, don’t come at me TNETENNBA fans!

Yeah it’s a shame that Musk is so inextricably linked with the brand. I’m quite sure SpaceX and Tesla are full of top tier talent and engineering wizards… but have a direct link to a toxic cockwomble that bankrolls them. Shame.

I haven’t, no - and you’re probably right, yes.

I worry that if I start playing KSP then my other half and kids won’t see me again for six months because it does sound fucking awesome and highly rewarding.

Nope, I’m a simple man. I play through a couple of Doom WADs each summer in the academic off-season and that’s my gaming appetite satiated.

I’m surprised I strung so many together coherently to be honest!
