The IT Crowd - S2 E5 - Smoke & Mirrors
Added 2024-01-12 13:00:09 +0000 UTCOk but where can I get one and have they solved the issue with it yet?
And more importantly, do they sell them on Amazon? And if they do is there some kind of special purchase combo for buying one, a pair of Pilkopants and a tie with a pocket?

Yay, the theme tuneโs back ๐ 15:10 Okaaay, so cannibalism is only illegal in the Netherlands if it โis abuse or contrary to morality,โ meaning that some lawyers have spent a lot of time thinking about it in the past! Two Dutch TV presenters got into controversy by eating each others (correction) their own flesh on air, and escaped prosecution. So there you go, we keep digging a little further into this cannibalism rabbit holeโฆ is google trained on your search keywords, and recommending cannibalism stories to you already? ๐ 30:23 The 4th wall, did Moss break it?! 32:14 Taking liberties with your 1 syllable pronunciation of โruinโ where you pronounce the two successive vowel sounds as a single vowel: โrurnโ (Erik Thomas on Quora can back me up on this ๐) You very nearly had a haiku!

2024-01-18 22:40:38 +0000 UTCThat's a whopping great urban myth, so it is! I wonder who made it up? The instructor in Argentina, or whoever told them? Sounds almost transparently false, a gullibility test? Or maybe it started off as an anecdote, someone visited Australia, encountered an unmarked 4 way intersection, and impromptu they decided to play a rock/paper/scissors game with their 1-4 fingers? ๐คทโโ๏ธ and now it retold like that's a local custom! Who knows at this point? A Google and chatgpt search reveals nada.

2024-01-18 18:09:31 +0000 UTCits caused by the HA decoding , it still happens on a NVME drives , it isn't worth having that turned off though tbh , vlc has some major flaws but i still like it and got used to it , there are far better players out there , MPC-HC is open source and a good one.

2024-01-16 23:38:34 +0000 UTCTo make the pixel problem better when you pause and resume in VLC make sure you have the files stored on an SSD not a HDD. VLC has had this problem for years unfortunately and there is now way to fix it completely that I know of.

Josh sloan
2024-01-15 12:52:12 +0000 UTCLol, my point is, if you want a shot of those lovely mood enhancing endorphins, you'll need at least 30 *continuous* mins of exercise at this intensity.

2024-01-15 12:23:30 +0000 UTCWork doesn't count! I've worked in a corner shop and know from experience althouth you're active all day, you're nowhere near the sustained high intensity levels needed, that you get from dedicated exercise!

Josh sloan
2024-01-15 12:10:51 +0000 UTCHi Josh! Ok, if youโre routinely feeling low, hereโs a couple of things you could do: Give up alcohol. Yep, alcohol is a well known depressant, so youโll want to clear its depressive effects out of your system, and it can take three to four weeks for alcohol-induced depressive disorder (AUD) to clear. So give up alcohol, or at least go on a detox for a month, preferably longer, so you get to feel the difference! Alcohol drains you, it empties you inside, which doesnโt have to be a problem if your lifeโs otherwise full, and you moderate, but if youโre going through rough times, its just hitting you while youโre down! Regular exercise! As well as being good for your health, exercise releases endorphins, which are the bodyโs natural feel-good chemicals. Itโs proven to ward off feelings of anxiety and depression. I challenge you to run for an hour every day, preferably 1st thing in the morning. Anybody can sustain high end aerobic exercise for hours. Run so youโre breaking a sweat, but not too fast that you couldnโt hold a conversation at the same time. Itโs not a race, if you reach a point where you can only walk, then walk. Itโs all about sticking to the high-end aerobic heart rate. And if you can actually measure your heart rate, better still! Keep it close to, but do not exceed โ180 - your ageโ bpm. Anyone can sustain this for an hour, easy. Go on, give it a try! You can log your runs on your smartphone with Strava, the worldโs largest social running app. Hereโs a link to follow me! https://strava.app.link/FH1d0ipylGb

Stevus Minimus
2024-01-12 21:30:17 +0000 UTC๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ OMG!!! ๐๐๐๐๐๐ wow... I need a breath... bit of a headache now. I'm sorry, I've heard some crazy stuff in my life, I'll be fair though, that was probably more sweet than anything. No we do NOT do that at intersections. We favour the roundabout here. We have traffic lights here on all the main, busy intersections, but everywhere else is roundabouts. (There is a British stop motion kids show called Magic Roundabout that Jasper Carrott does a great parody of.) The roundabout is by far the most efficient system to use. Look at me sounding all German. It's simply 'give way to the right' (we drive on the left here. But try to tell a conservative that?๐คทโโ๏ธ๐คช) and it's pretty fool proof system. I believe they use them in the UK too. Right fellas? Also, could you imagine Miss Mandy... dear, sweet, ever so slightly niave about this one very specific little thing that is perfectly reasonable and understandable ๐ Mandy, could you imagine the logistics of everyone having to essentially play Rock Paper Scissors every time they wanted to cross an intersection? That would shut down all industry in Australia. No one would get to work on time. But it also just wouldn't work due to the sheer size of some of them. You can't even really see someone on the other side. Actually, I will try filming a few of the bigger ones here in Adelaide, at peak hour and email you. You'll see. Sorry if some of that seemed a bit rude, obviously wasn't intended to be. Honestly, I was sitting here watching you tell that story, and suddenly realised my mouth was WIDE open in a gasp of disbelief, beard dusting my... hope that helps?

2024-01-12 19:47:11 +0000 UTCIt's interesting how, after The Beatles came out with that very clever name, there have been bands ever since trying to emulate that vibe, but only ever came up with more mundane, less clever approximations of it like The Animals, The Yard birds or The Cockroaches etc. Apparently, we've collectively eliminated all the better options until someone has now had to settle for The Lice!? ๐คฃ Does it at least have some sort of poetic ring to it in Spanish?

2024-01-12 18:49:21 +0000 UTCIn all seriousness, that's a tough one JB, but I could strongly recommend meditation ๐งโโ๏ธ, that has worked well for me. But ultimately, most things you do will only be temporary solutions. To properly deal with severe depression or anxiety etc, you have to deal with the root problem, and realistically, the only way to do that is basically tackle it head on. Therapy is something EVERYONE should try whether you think you need it or not, and it shouldn't be stigmatised in the way that it is. Have you been diagnosed with anything by a doc or psych? (You don't have to share that here if you don't want to). But meds can be helpful for some. Toodles! ๐

2024-01-12 15:35:12 +0000 UTCIn lace and silk, Mandy's bra did gleam, Yet, alas, it harbored a secret scheme. Its cups, misaligned in a mismatched dance, A tale of discomfort, an underwire trance. Straps too tight, like a constricting vine, Around her shoulders, they did entwine. Oh, Mandy sighed, in her ill-fitted attire, A bra misjudged, her attire's dire. The underwire rebelled, a restless protest, As Mandy grappled with her bra, distressed. In the mirror, she glimpsed a bra amiss, A silhouette of discomfort, a fashion abyss. The cups, like ships lost at sea, Drifted apart, far from unity. Mandy longed for a bra that embraced, Not one that left her bosom disgraced. So, off she went, in search of reprieve, To find a bra that her curves could believe. In lingerie aisles, her quest unfurled, For a bra that would cradle, not enswirl. For every woman deserves to be free, From the clutches of bras that disagree. Let Mandy find solace in lingerie's art, A bra that fits perfectly, embracing her heart....Get rid of 'em.
