Indeed, when I started at my current job there was a Anglophile guy who was really into the Beatles and other "classic rock" groups. Being from an English speaking country he was keen to talk to me, at length, about music.

After a while I noticed that he never mentioned any groups that even had one woman in the lineup, I started asking his opinion about the likes of Janis Joplin and Heart, and he just kind of locked up.

He will now say a frosty hello to me if I prompt him directly, but that's about it ... he has two daughters who don't talk to him apparently.

Take a Bow by Muse works almost too perfectly, too

I looked at smaller things like the Pi and in the end decided I had more flexibility by just having a little PC and bunging Linux on it.

I just got a new smart TV, but it's never going on the internet, lol

Ugh, it's that kind of creepy comment that puts many women off of taking up shooting

I wish they had that here!

Remember that guns that haven't been used for a long time will usually benefit from a clean and re-oil in order to work smoothly ... should you feel the urge to freshen up your skills in the current political climate.

I got a very cheap second hand HP G4 mini PC with a Bluetooth remote control.

It sits under my TV, and I use it for all my downloading needs (away from any computer that gets used for email or banking, etc), playing videos, and emulated games with an old Xbox controller.

Works faster than anything built into the TV, and the remote is better because it has a proper little keyboard on it :-)

TBH the experience is so positive I don't understand why anyone would want to use the smart features of a modern TV when they could be doing this instead.

That's a matter of perspective.

I'll show myself out ...

So it's a Lemmy Lemniscate when it's here?

Try saying that three times fast

Boot Liquor is a new one on me, thanks for the tip :-)

This is where a lot of Americana music comes in ... the online station Americana Boogie Radio has lots of defiant working class songs on it's playlist :-)

Ah, a nester :-)

I'm the other way, the 6 years I've been in our current house is the longest I've ever lived in one place since I left home!
