  1. A lot of the Discworld novels are standalone anyway, you don't have to read all the others to enjoy it. It won't feel like you have to slog through 30 books just to get anywhere. Small Gods is a good standalone book. As is Pyramids. Moving Pictures is another. You might miss some of the jokes and references if you haven't read the others, but I think you'll still enjoy them.
  2. It's basically the same if you're good at pretending and make all the right noises.
  3. It tastes like mouthwash. It's pretty grim.
  4. See above. Was eating, and my tongue just seemed so tasty, I just had to have a bite. I instantly regretted my decision.
  5. I think we can probably just call that a fact.
  6. Don't forget Luke Cage's "HARLEMHARLEMHARLEMHARLEMHARLEM"
  7. It's like Tesco Clubcard vouchers all over again!
  8. I got something 3D printed at work for a client once. It was pretty cool actually, they sold you boxes of 3D space, and anything you could cram into that 3D box, they would print out for you. The more you could fit in, the more you got for your money. We were designing an attachment to go on a JCB at the time, and the client wanted tiny models of it that he could attach to a Matchbox model of a JCB and demonstrate with, so I had to shrink down the CAD model we had and simplify it so that the resolution of the 3D printer wouldn't break anything. It turned out really well in the end - I still have one of the spare ones on my desk. I'll upload a picture if I can find one. EDIT: Found it
  9. Something I didn't realise until my boss pointed it out: it's called the Falcon Heavy rocket because it's 'falcon' heavy. Similarly, the next rocket they plan to use is called the BFR (Big Falcon Rocket).
  10. Before 1918, no women could vote, and only older men could (I don't know what the age limit was before this). After 1918, women older than 30 could vote, and they lowered the male voting age to 21. I think that pretty much agrees with Jimbob? We're basically the same person anyway. We're both a bob.
  11. No, before that no women could vote. When they allowed them the vote, they set the limit to be 30 and older, while men could be 21 and older. So not completely equal, but a large step in the right direction. And the voting age is now 18 (perhaps 16 in Scotland for council elections?)
  12. That's.....an odd way to commemorate something. Still, 100 years eh? Awesome.
  13. And the singer, they do the words and stuff.
  14. At least you have public toilets up in Scotland, silver linings and all that.
  15. Trying to eat less, but it's so hard when your house is full of snacks you got for Christmas. I want to get rid of them, but I can't bring myself to throw them away.
  16. How much does the raw material cost? E.g, how much would it cost to print a small figurine?
  17. Tru dat. I can't even remember the last game I played online with a Nintendo console. It was probably Mario Kart Wii. I think I'll wait. To be honest, I'm not even sure I'll renew my PS+ when it runs out. Can't think of any multiplayer PS games that I'm thinking of getting in the future either.
  18. I'm disappointed "That's You" isn't on offer, I really wanted to play that.
  19. That's amazing, I love that a Trabant is a euphemism for slow in Germany.
