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

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!

Do you have a way to get out and about in a fun way?

It's funny, here in Spain there's lots of women who use motorbikes and scooters as their main transportation so I've never thought of it as impressive!

I've had motorbikes since I was little, I was fascinated by them much to my mothers disappointment.

Have you ever thought about riding one?

Since I'm on a motorbike most of the time I use a backpack, which in and of itself has proved useful!

Inside I've got ... Work ID Old leather purse I bought second hand about 15 years ago Antihistamines Ibuprofen Mini hairbrush Mini nailclippers A reliable pen Hand sanisizer House keys 1 individually wrapped maxi-pad (useful for various emergencies aside from the obvious) 1 pair of disposable earplugs (for when riding the motorbike) And the most recent addition is reading glasses :-(

1 - Starship Troopers, or V for Vendetta (flip a coin on that one)

2 - The 51st State ... I don't think there's any way to say that's political. Apart from the first 5 minutes ... and the stupid Nazis ... and post- credits scene ... and some commentary over the industrial decline of the UK ... and some other stuff ...

Trying to think of a nonpolitical film is nearly impossible :-/
