    Nah, the song is shit. Finland 10/10 In fact, I’d go so far as to say Finland has won Eurovision for ever. It’s done.
  2. Limo
    Croatia up next. Here we go
  3. Limo
    Never seen the Eurovision show before?

    Some excellent work this year. Finland, of course, but Australia and Germany also deliver. And Moldova putting midgets on stage in 2023 is ace as well, of course

    Yeah, its a daring move. I’m pretty sure a larger company can make that hardware a lot more efficient and hence cheaper than Deluge can.

    Yup. I have one for work. Quality of brews is good, but each one is different. IIRC coffee guru James Hoffmann shares this sentiment. Needing an hydraulic press ? is probably nothing to worry about. If the coffee is good, that is all that matters, My recipe is: turn the grinder a few ticks looser than for espresso, grind 7 grams, to be stored in an airtight(ish) container and to be consumed in an hour or two. Add water for 1 cup (as per the markings). Stir, press, done. Not espresso by a long shot (ha!), not Moka pot coffee but good.

    In an ideal world everyone should do this.

    Very nice. And quite unexpected because I’d imagine a lot of their IP is actually in their software.

    Ah yes. Threatening to leave a city you claim to have conquered already because you’re not receiving enough ammo to conquer that city that you claim to have conquered already.

    Xi would probably just disappear him if he stops being useful. Russian police and military likely the same. To them he’s probably still useful, though. Like I said, I really don’t see a way out of this for anyone. Maybe as a conflict so frozen the west can help the remainder of Ukraine rebuild and rearm to such a degree that it will be impossible for Russia to unfreeze it?

    Exactly. That said, all the death and destruction does make it all quite a bit more complicated. I can’t come up with a single method for cleaning up this mess that is the least bit plausible.

    One would hope. He’s not the only one in the Russian military-oligarchy complex that is invested in this war, however. What would happen if his cronies sacrifice him, being an obvious figurehead and scapegoat? Does Russia get to evacuate Ukraine without paying for the damage? And do we then all start to buy Russian gas again, making it worth it for the military and their oligarch friends to do this? My money is still on a permanent frozen conflict like Transdniestria and Abchazia but luckily I’m terrible at betting.

    AI generated beer commercial.

    Don’t get your hopes up. Episode one was ok, ep. 2 already dialed the Hollywood “everything must be drama and if the source material doesn’t have any we’ll invent it” shit way, way up. Haven’t gotten to ep. 3 yet.

    Took my saxophone in for servicing. Expected to have to leave it for a week because they’re busy. Was contacted within half an hour that it could be picked up. Celebrated by buying a new mouthpiece

    We tried From and even the wife, who is way less critical when it comes to tv shows than I am and who fanatically adored Lost, thought it was bad. Meaning to say it’s a YMMV thing, I guess. We’re now continuing our Apple TV binge and started Foundation. First episode is promising.

    Same with samurai swords, apparently. The fancy workmanship was out of necessity because the material they used was so bad. All that layering helped make it somewhat usable.
  18. Limo
    Pleasant ?
  19. Limo
    Finished “Hello Tomorrow”. Not genius, but pleasant enough to watch: nice sets, good acting, scripts with the drama in them nicely and functionally interwoven with the rest of the plot. Would have preferred but that’s pretty much the only complaint I have. Also: episodes are only half an hour. Well done.
  20. Limo
    Yeah, I have that, but with running. And the packs of thoroughly incompetent Sunday cyclists acting like they own the road are the absolute worst
  21. Limo
    Ooh, I stand corrected. Or maybe not.
  22. Limo
    Nice. Though I hear riding a bicycle in the UK outside of London is a pretty suicidal endeavor. Is that true?
  23. Limo
    Another of the greats gone: Ahmad Jamal. I must admit I’d never bothered to check out his music, but now that it’s in obituaries everywhere it turns out “poinciana” is strangely alluring in all its borderline kitschy spareness:

    True, but not Tom.
  25. Limo
    Nah … Frusciante is way too limited as a musician. Working with him would be a waste of time for Tom. I think he should join a jazz power trio with some of the finer noodle jazz musicians out there. I’m thinking the guy that plays drums with Mark Turner (Jonathan Pinson - check him out, he’s amazing) and then, why not, Mark Turner himself and then have the three of them play Warne Marsh material. This I would pay good money to see.
