The Beck song sound the most like something that wouldn't be that out of place on Random Access Memories.

I think this is an important conversation to have and I am a little disappointed with the portion of me that is resenting how it is taking some of the shine off of the neologism "jugstaposition"

i appreciated "jugstaposition" very much fwiw

would you say... it's the breast?

still giggling at that one, myself

i'm definitely tittering over here too.

I'm sure we'll all look back at that one with fond mammaries, but c'mon you're milking it now

This thread has its knockers, but I'm not one of them.

a juggernaut of great posts

whoa, i picked a bad day to go outside and do something for once!

i'm a very skinny person and when people refer to me or other people as skeletons it makes me feel awful, so i can see how some people would think it was supposed to be a comment on bigger people in general. i don't really remember making that post, but i would have thought twice about posting something like that today, so that must indicate something.

Sorry for inadvertently old post shaming you buddy.

Great thread

i wasn't sure we should ban him before but now that i know he's a goddamn bonie maronie i say permaban the skeletor

greenwald is in a class of his own - he's beyond smug, every post is in some kind of righteous fury mode. i imagine him ordering a suboptimal cappucino: "That these so-called baristas can hand me this dishwater with smiles on their faces is simply astonishing. They have had every chance to make my coffee correctly, and at every turn have chosen not to. UPDATE: Several readers have pointed out that better coffee can be had two blocks away, at Venetia. These readers miss the point, which is not that good coffee may be had at some other establishment, but that this coffee, in this establishment is presented as good yet is clearly, to anyone who bothers paying even cursory attention, not."

Thanks for the info! Did you get an advance view of next week's episode or something?

nope but I watched this week's episode

Okay, interesting. The version I saw must've missed a scene where they confirmed those things, gotta send some email to Netflix Nordic about this.

From the Better Call Saul thread, I guess it doesn't make sense if you don't watch that show.

i like how your timestamps make it look like everyone's 15 years old and writing into a magazine

Was that pointed at me?

IMO the European way of writing dates like DAY/MONTH/YEAR is completely logical: from the smallest unit to the largest. The American ways of starting with the second smallest, then the smallest, then the largest, is weird. Though I guess there's some explanation to it that has to do with some filing system?

I think it's the period after the day part that makes it confusing

Ah, okay. So in the English-speaking countries you can't writer "fifteenth" as "15."? In here adding the period after a number means that it's an ordinal number.

You know, I think I learned that in high school German but promptly forgot it and thought it was just a weird stylistic quirk

huhtikuuta is also a lovely word.

The period also makes sense, instead of going 1st 2nd 3rd 4th it's just 1. 2. 3. Easy peasy.

Europe is always right with these things. The metric system, people. How many pounds does a cubic foot of water weigh? Huh?

62.4 pounds

12 parsecs

we measure liquids in pints, quarts, and gallons, not feet!

a quart of water is about two pounds, pretty easy to remember

All my references to weights and measures on ILX from now on will be exclusively in IMPERIAL units, just to annoy Frederik.

otm

No Euros either, it's pounds, shillings, guineas, crowns, groats, ha'pennies etc

The only acceptable way to write a date is ISO 8601 format, eg 2016-04-15.
