As a woman who used to do cash in hand construction work, I can confidently say more women would do those things if they didn’t have to put up with a hostile work environment

Sounds like a sausagefest, too … at least they’re going back to their roots?

Flipside is, having a passport is handy if you want to leave the country ;-)

Because of the existence of Kiwi Fruit?

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.

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 :-)

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 :-/

Stabilizers are marketing BS, they can’t rejuvenate old fuel and they generally work by introducing an additional component that reduces the ability of the fuel (mostly the methanol content) to absorb water … however they rarely have a positive effect over all because they cause other problems.

Long shelf-life fuel is made in the refining stage. European standard E10 petrol can last a year or more if it’s stored correctly … I know this because I sometimes do store it for that long by accident.

That’s not correct. I have ethanol-free petrol for my chainsaw that has a shelf life of 5 years guaranteed (probably lasts longer, since that’s from the time of purchase)

It’s realistic that the most vicious people would hold on to the status symbols of before, and to indoctrinate those born after into the same way of thinking

I once jumped a car onto a moving train while on fire

Star Trek Spoiler

See Picard series 2 for that

I’m keen to see if Ballerina is going to be a good spin-off, buuut not super on board with another John Wick … the story had a good end, and it would be nice to just leave it on a high.

I recently did a marathon of the four films, and TBH after the first one it really did feel like a marathon. I got up and made drinks during some of the fights and didn’t feel like I’d missed anything.

The part with Halle Berry was good, the final big set piece up the cathedral steps was great, and the final ending excellent, but I don’t think I’m going to re-watch any other part again.

This is where Cinemawins comes in, fun positive takes on films (yet often with genuine critique thrown in too).

It’s the channel that introduced me to how excellent the first Trolls movie is :-)
