Brutalism is mint in the first place, but it really, really gets better with age and foliage. The more moss and lichen and ivy, the better it looks

Same, to be fair

Please tell me you’ve seen Thingu?! If not, allow me to present…

Chips always lie

P.I.C.N.I.C.

Make a nice safe and fabulous space for everyone to scream “aaaaah fuck, there’s a giant skeleton!”

Pretty much the topic of Blind Boy’s latest podcast, and I can wholeheartedly say that it’s on off feeling to be quite so empathetically called out twice in as many days

They’re actually for big, manly super-straight homophobic alpha blokes

Duolingo is serious these days

Is this likely? I’m not there, so don’t know if this even seems likely, but I’ve seen this question twice now, which has kindled a tiny flame of hope

Fuck yeah. I’m ashamed to say I’d kinda forgotten about them, so thanks for reminding me. Midnight and Mescaline is an absolute banger, as a recommendation for a gateway track

And also they are just all round fantastic. Real, proper metal, but not cheesy.

That’s the trade off for a larynx capable of speech

That’s what she said!

That’s the most useful thing anyone’s said so far, thanks. My current mini is hard enough to get at, as it’s under the back of the desk, so I’ve used this, as even though the power button is in a vaguely accessible place, there computer isn’t. Why would I want it taking up room on the top that could be used for synths I can’t play, and coffee I haven’t drunk?!

Ah, if I used a Mac keyboard then I’d probably have known that. I generally don’t really like Mac peripherals, I’ve got a full size mechanical keyboard and a thumb wheel mouse. I get that it’s not an insurmountable problem, but there’s only one face out of the six that you can absolutely guarantee isn’t going to be immediately accessible, so why put the only button on the whole machine on that face, as opposed to next to all the I/Os?

It looks like the foot/base bit isn’t tall enough to get a finger to the button without lifting the thing up. That seems daft to me. You’re having to move the whole unit about to push a button

I’m not an apple hater, I have a Mac mini. However, our power goes out fairly regularly in the winter, and it’ll get old having to get the thing out of the back of my desk at start it again pretty bloody quickly, it’s an obviously daft place to put it.

Man put his money where is mouth is

Unless you use the bangs. !g tells it to use google
