I used to go a lot around then, idk why (youth maybe?) but we weren’t that scared… maybe because it was a tradition of our group after the music on Sunday night to go on an adventure around the campsite, making friends with random other camps sharing drinks, uh various substances and generally chilling with randoms. So even though we were aware of all the chaos and mayhem going on around, we just cared about chatting gods-knows what to people we’d never met before

Now I do remember the bottling 50 Cent got in '04, my mate threw a camping chair on the stage. Funny back then, still funny now

Panopticon are also notable in combining bluegrass and black metal

But the year’s only just star… ohhhh whoops.

Pretty interesting so far, left a job for the first time due to burnout only to get a significant step up in role… to team who are pretty much similarly overworked. Will try to stick it out for the CV, at least the new CEO seems to have his head screwed on properly.

Externally, lots of scary news about the rise of Reform and the lack of mainstream alternatives here is sad but I also started volunteering for the Green Party. Just leafletdropping as I thought I should try to do something positive politically

Shelter is not a small charity at all, but they helped my sister and boyfriend at the time when they had serious problems with a terrible landlord a number of years ago. So I’ve always had a positive bias towards them to the point where they’re the one I donate regularly to

This is the most D&D campaign thing I’ve ever heard, no further questions

Personally, no, though I recently quit a job due to burnout. I’ve had a lot of luck in enjoying or at least being able to easily tolerate the company of 98% of my coworkers. There’s definitely people I’ve worked with who are eager to climb the ladder, but at least manage to put on a good front/put it aside to some degree for the good of the company

No way would I pay full price for it but I got this on sale, does the job no fuss: https://herschelsupplyco.co.uk/shop/wallets/charlie-cardholder-wallet I’m a minimalist where a wallet is concerned though, only carry notes in case of emergency

Belong - October Language

Not entirely on topic but I’d like to encourage everyone interested in getting into running to try the coach to 5k program. https://www.nhs.uk/better-health/get-active/get-running-with-couch-to-5k/ marathons aside, getting out there and doing any form of exercise is better than none! And I bet a lot of people will be surprised with what they’re capable of…

I’ll probably get a lot of flak for this, but initially I did not get Community at all. I have low tolerance to cringe though, after I got through that I was all in

get a decent VPN

As another public only user, gotta emphasise this. I’m on a pretty quick fibre connection, so luckily it’s not a bother for me to get really good ratios but every little helps folks!

Tuna mayo jacket potato always goes down a treat for me

I believe someone wrote a sleep timer script for deadbeef

I was trained to turn off PCs completely from a young age so still do this, necessary or not

Yeah I’m aware, and I’ve tried it separately on Pop too. Just personally going to wait for the first release proper now

Definitely worth playing around with either on bare metal like an old laptop or something, maybe in the holidays like you mention. I switched to Linux on my main gaming PC a year and a half ago, and just installed EndeavourOS (with Plasma) on my new Framework laptop

Really coming along nicely, looking forward to trying this on EndeavourOS

I remember spending too much time listening on the headphones to the sample CDs. That and getting mum to buy me this excellent dnb comp for £15(!) as my Xmas pressie in 2001: https://www.discogs.com/release/168103-Various-Playaz-4-Real

Ah awesome, would have loved to have seen cLOUDDEAD at the time myself, enjoyed most of the stuff on Big Dada too.

Gave All Portrait, No Chorus a listen and dug it (was that a Cannibal Ox ref in the first track?!), will add the Alias/Dose One collab to the list… thanks!
