I’ve read so many of this kind of piece that I’d like them to start including comparisons. Eg- gas cookers are bad, but in real terms, the ppm increase in harmful stuff is less than the difference between air quality where I live and a city. How does this study relate to other air quality factors - wildfires, living near a large road, industrial area, or in a city. How do air purifiers change this, and which types of particulates are worse for health, and which can be filtered or reduced?

Phenomenal tune

Appallingly. The old truck I spent most of the day in is basically all window, and now I am basically all crispy. 3/10, do not recommend

I’m so over “tactical” styling. I’m way, way more interested in something that looks like it came from a grotty cyberpunk future than something for fat middle-aged failures to play army men with. This torch looks absolutely mint, and I hope more stuff follows suit

That’s exactly how I read it, I had to go through the article a couple of times to make sure I was getting what the author meant, and I think it’s exactly that

Thank you, but no

Someone was very pleased with themselves for coming up with that headline

I’d love to see that exhibition in person, these are photos that clearly need to be seen as large prints

This whole album is phenomenal

Yeah, I’m not really sure what it is they’re doing, kind of rock’n’roll on 8-string guitars, but it’s great, and I love the doom-sap moniker, even if it’s only there for the pun

Fuck off Keith, was colonising Ireland appropriate?

Thanks, Gnome are a proper gem, their own very specific kind of weird. Check out the video to Wenceslas for some fantastic dancing. I’d not found the doom metal community, so thanks. That’s right up my street, finding Pelican, Baroness and Elder in the first few posts makes me think there’ll be plenty to get my teeth into in there.

That’s a bit more on the death side of things than my tastes usually run, but it’s got some good grooves to it, and the video is mint. I’ve been really getting back into music videos recently, Gnome’s Golden Fool and The Ogre videos are brilliant, and Psychedelic Porn Crumpets’ March on Pax Romana is phenomenal (none of them are thrash though). I’m of the MTV generation, and I’d not realised how much I missed good videos until recently

Even though on the face of it this is a sensible suggestion, I object to it due to it coming from such a complete waste of oxygen

No no, Miata is always the answer. Clearly, Miata is in that case answering the question “how do I look like a bellend without spending too much money, and clearly communicate that while I understand mechanics, I probably shouldn’t”.

Make the feet “ribs” protrude into the box, with a 45° rebated channel cut into each side that the side pieces slot into maybe? Have the foot detail just extend under the base to support it. That’s a lot of glue area even if the sides and base are thin, and you’d only lose a small part of the volume to the part protruding into the internal volume

Must ecstatic at the moment, it’s absolutely torrential here

Solar incognita?

It might just be a marker of middle age setting in, but I’ve been loving this avenue of proper old-school thrash on here recently. The early Metallica albums had a profound effect on my formative mind, and the fast riffs in this very much push that button

Yeah, I drive an old Ford Ranger/Mazda bt50, and I parked next to one of the new ones the other day. The thing is massive, took up the whole parking space it was in so cars next to it couldn’t open their doors, and had the bed way up in the air so loading it would be a pain in the ass. Same size bed but less carrying weight because it’s so big, same tow capacity, very similar size inside, just pointlessly massive outside. All the aggressive styling makes you look like you’ve got a micropenis to compensate for, and it’s much less useful for its intended purpose.

I live in the middle of nowhere, so a pickup is pretty essential, but anyone who owns one of these in a town needs a crew-cab van realistically, pickups are hopeless in urban areas
