Most of these are just slow by modern standards, MTV changed film editing for good

Into the Wild is pretty minimal once he moved to Alaska

The Master is very minimal of plot but the opposite of relaxing

Doesnt that only apply if it when to court as a criminal case? At the moment this is people talking to the press and it hasnt gone to criminal court.

Last year City did about £715m, and Barca €763 million so yeah it looks problematic but then for the season just gone that will be reported soon they predicting a jump to €950 million, with a further jump to a billion for next year. If those numbers stick, I would guess that's how if they spending all of that increase on a couple of new signings.

What I do not get is how City are funding their massive spending when you include the significant player wages offered to their new players. Really seems like that they are laughing at the FA and the charges the FA brought against City.

I like it as a cool toy to play with but I have a lot of separate lights that already do many of these functions better than a combi tool can.

I also have a dislike of kickstarter type funding, I get how its useful for the runner but bad experiences in the past have really put me off.

Did IQs drop sharply while I was away?

Yeah its a deliberate strategy by Gaiman, while in the background he goes after his victims that settled previously for breaching NDAs. Even if he doesn't win its money well spent to stop more accusations from coming out. He's going to wait this out and try to rehabilitate himself in a few years.

I just don't understand how they not going to the toilet or filling up with fuel during six or more hours non stop.

Six hours in the UK can be over 450 miles at motorway speed, very few ICE cars can do over 450 miles in six hours on one tank of fuel with a safety margin.

450 miles at motorway speed rather than hyper mileing at 60mph (preferably 56mph) seriously dents your economy EV or ICE.

I will drive that many hours in my EV but I'm happy stopping to charge half way. Its twenty minutes I get to go to the bathroom, have a drink and eat if I want to. No way I want to be driving six hours non stop with no break.

Never! Unless they gave me too many...

But seriously I don't use the self tappers or nails they give you as they awful, made of soft cheese.

She is amazing, I would love to meet her.

And that's a great choice of tattoo!

Sigourney Weaver and Arnold Schwarzenegger, some of my favorite films of my childhood and both total bad asses

It's surely being done to appease the orange toddler as he wants Biden dragged through the courts as he was. Small problem is that either Bidens a much smarter criminal than Trump and didn't leave any evidence, or he just wasn't criminal enough to warrant charging.

 
 

Even if this isn't really a 40, I'm posting it as it's my only new board this year so far.

 

Spoiler, its RDT

In case people do nto know what RDT is, which they really should if they have been into coffee for a little while as it makes a big difference:

RDT is Ross Droplet Technique, which is very much adding water to beans. Named after David Ross who came up with it back in 2005

 

The postman delivered a new to me DF83 Gen 1 with SSP HU burrs. Just had fun dialing it in over lunch for espresso. It is a huge step up from the Niche Zero it replaces for espresso.

 

Very interesting grinder for those that like to experiment with different burrs as it supports both conical and flat burrs. I think only the niche zero with a 3rd party kit did that so far?

Can't say it would replace multiple grinders with just one for me as it still takes too long to switch over but I could definitely see myself switching burrs when I change over bags once or twice a month.
