Yes, the bullshit-ometer is constantly registering high.

@canefan said in Movie review thread...:

After watching Axel F I decided to watch the three original films. After the freshness of the first film, the second was okay but followed the same formula as the first. BHC3 was an abomination and it's no wonder it took them 30 odd years before anyone would let Eddie Murphy make a fourth. I did spot a cameo by George Lucas though, which did nothing to salvage the wreck

I’m not sure why they thought it would be a good idea to set the whole thing in a theme park.

Crumbs, who knew Maynard from Tool had such a tender side to him

The company behind the world's worst IT outage has given gift cards to its teammates and partners to apologise and thank them for the extra work during last week's meltdown.

Even cooler story 😀

I’m trying to think if I can incorporate any dragons into it….

Mayall toured until pretty recently. Legendary stuff. Hats off to the man for doing what he loved for so long

My issue with this is the wording of the headline, it lead me to believe the tourist bit the horse

@pakman parakalo That’s all Greek to me!

Finished the Acolyte,

Spoiler

the things i liked out number the things i disliked

there is some rough acting (most of the jedi).....but Manny Jacinto was a very good bad guy and i liked his motive of just wanting to be what he is, a dark side user....but because the jedi say he cant exist then he has to push back

there is obviously going to be more, the teaser of Darth Plagueis suggests even if he believes it he is being played

some cool fights scenes but also slightly convoluted plot i felt

i was hoping for a completely unconnected starwars story but it clear they just cant step away from connections to the originals

@Machpants said in Stupid shit you see on the internet:

Filming someone whilst they boil to death isn't tragic, it's sick.

I haven't read the whole article, did she intentionally film him dying? If not, I'd be inclined to say it's fairly tragic. Otherwise there's a whole lot of sick fucks filming plane crashes at airshows.

There's something comforting about open fire

Incredibly still night with single figure temps. Great night to chill while burning stuff😀

Just need some strong spirits

Quiet Shiraz does the job 😀

Ok people, probably not tech in your opinions, but myself and wife are heading Europe and UK for 6 weeks in Sept, just trying to work out ideas for phones while we away. I know some say roaming, but carrier (Skinny)doesn't do roaming in UK or a lot of Europe. I just think it probably fairly important to be able to be contacted etc in case, and maybe we would want to post a few things on facebook etc. So any and all suggestions would be appreciated, and as I not tech savvy if it simple would be great.

I've never used them but a mate of mine uses travel sims with data from this company, not sure if they have a NZ branch but might do as web company: https://simsdirect.com.au/collections/esim-united-kingdom/products/ultd-eu-uk-es

I have no idea if they're the best/cheapest etc so you might need to do some googling.

esims are easy and should be used more, I use them about 4-5 times a year, Airalo, Holafly, all good. Just google esim and do comparisons for destination.

Tip: depending on how long layover and multi-hop, consider the regional, global esim option, then you dont even need to do other activations at every stop
