Hmm, I'm still getting those options (though sometimes the options of topics don't exactly match what part I'm not interested in).

Scene from Parks and Recs. Frame 1 a woman in front of increasingly larger sized cups with one saying "Child 512oz". Caption "how is this a child size soda?"
Frame 2 has a different woman in front of the cups with the caption "well it's roughly the size of a two year old child if they were liquified"

Got a new laptop last week. One of first games I installed is pushing 3 decades old. Heck FTL is also no spring chicken either and added that (was in news recently for its little update) (game choice is partly tied to me not being very good with laptop keyboard and pad for faster paced titles mind).

"England scored a goal" "Kane or Bellingham?"

Meanwhile in Warframe you can date Ben Starrs character.

Screenshot from Warframe of Hex character Arthur Nightingale. A text box gives the options "View Hex Standing" and "Ask to date"

Wonder if they have the lesson on "dihydrogen monoxide" and bad faith science communication. Also you dump anything into a bowl as just ingredients it'll look worse than something properly cooked...

no, they mean the balls pictured above. A ton of people have corrected you in this thread, with pictures, not sure what you're not getting. No one is thinking the below is called "hundreds and thousands"

Dean Bowes@deanbowes· Jun 11

I think by balls they're meaning these (which are clearly labeled as "Hundreds and Thousands"). The strands are ...well sugar strands.

Had "Birdcage in Your Soul" pop up on a playlist and reminded of this band name in Soul Music. Probably Terry at his punniest in that book.

“So what do you call yourselves?”
“Er… dwarfs, Mr. Dibbler,” said the lead dwarf.
“‘Dwarfs?’“
“Yes, sir.”
“Why?”
“Because we are, Mr. Dibbler,” said the lead dwarf patiently.
“No, no, no. That won’t do. That won’t do at all. You gotta have a name with a bit of” –Dibbler waved his hands in the air– “with a bit of Music With Rocks In… uh… in. Not just ‘Dwarfs.’ You gotta be… oh, I don’t know… something more interesting.”
“But we’re certainly dwarfs,” said one of the dwarfs.
“We’re Certainly Dwarfs,” said Dibbler. “Yes, that might work.”

Look at my stupid attempt at remaking the opening of FFX. (and yes, there was no Youtube back then so no re-watching it and certainly no HD).

Given TADC has immediately dropped 50% of its audience on a Friday (and all others jumped by 50%) suggests that the Thursday release date was the only chance of success and not really a major changing trend in releasing indie animation in face of Disney and....He-Man.

Naughty Dog broke the agreement.

So on the footer of ceefax/teletext pages would be shortcuts you could push the coloured buttons to activate. There was also a cool quiz game called "bamboozle" that you would use the colour buttons to pick the answer.

Wonder if he was in his punk rock band with Craig Ferguson at this time.

Always get a bit teary with the harvest dance sequence. (also only recently twigged the guy who dies in the steam explosion at start of Raising Steam is the blacksmith here that makes the combine/fails to kill the scythe. Shame we never got that Death meeting).
