David Lynch. His death hit me like a punch to the heart.

Also Adam Yauch (MCA).

They made a US version of Spaced?? This I have to see. It’s SO British in tone.

Found it!

Would depend who made it, both the producing company and the director.

If they tried to properly emulate the darkness of the show, and had something to actually say about society, then in the right hands it could be decent. As long as it wasn’t just the exact same plot, they’d need to have their own story to tell.

For example, I could imagine David Simon doing something interesting with it, relating to the corrosive nature of capitalism, media, etc.

But more likely the focus would be on the games and the gore and the lore of the Game itself, plus personal interactions between the contestants, love triangles, etc. Which IMO is less interesting.

My country did qualify (Scotland) so I’ll be up for a few VERY late sessions in the pub (our first game kicks off at 2am our time!) 😁🍻😴

Yep. And we’ve managed to draw 2 of the 3 teams we played in that tournament (Brazil and Morocco) - what are the chances?! 🙄

Don’t know about mainland Europe but, in the UK, generational names are definitely a thing. Stupid newspaper headlines about Millennials, Gen Z, Gen Alpha, are very common, unfortunately.

Agree about the idea of getting rid of them, judge people on what they do (the content of their character, if you will) rather than what age they are.

Claaaaaaaaaammmmmmmp!

Clamp!

CLAMP CLAMP CLAMP.

Sadly not! 😁

My client conversations are spread across different messaging platforms, and sometimes important or more detailed discussions just get buried or overlooked.

Yep, I have exactly this problem too. Instructions/feedback are spread across Teams messages, phone calls, video calls, and email, between and across multiple clients.

To bring it all together we tried using Trello - and now instructions/feedback are spread across Teams messages, phone calls, video calls, email and Trello.

It’s basically XKCDMultipleStandards.jpg ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Definitely Grover. I had a brilliant Grover book as a kid, called The Monster at the End of This Book, and I’ve always loved that blue rascal ever since 😁

Yeah, I’ve never heard of it being used to target people with disabilities (although looking it up, I see it can be used that way, TIL) - I’ve only ever thought of it as a judgement on character/behaviour. Like I’d have no issue with anyone describing Trump as a degenerate, because he’s a sick, twisted, vindictive, corrupt prick.

I think this is the exact plot of The Discovery on Netflix. In the film, it leads to a lot of suicide.

Might make more of a statement to simply remove the US flag and have nothing there.

Replacing it with something else makes it look like you’ve chosen a cause in preference to the USA.

Removing it simply says that you are no longer showing support for the US, with no other message. Also less likely to make you a target.

Wow, nice catch on the hex codes!

Al Green - How Can You Mend a Broken Heart?

When he sings, “Cos mine is”, it gets me right there. See also “How can you mend… this broken man…” 😭

In a nuclear war loads of people wouldn’t die but would love unhappily ever after.

I think it’d be hard to get into the mood at all tbh.

Not who you were replying to, but thanks for this. I’m hoping to give Linux a go this year, on an old laptop that isn’t needed anymore, and this makes me feel more confident about it!

They only run Miaowcrosoft products.
