All except for is how I meant it. I could have gone the other way and said higher than 38 I suppose.

The gif makes me assume you’re joking but just in case - New York city v’s New York state :)

Pretty crazy alright. I was shocked tbh. I saw one of those “land doesn’t vote” style memes and decided to look it up.

Yeah, I mean it’s a given that NYC has a lower population than NY state but I didn’t want to get overly pedantic.

It’s Latin and as far as I can tell congratulating pope Benedict who was two popes ago. I guess the joke is that it’s internet explorer posting.

Welcome aboard!

My response to this is usually “Do you have curtains?”

Very late edit: I have found it very effective. It causes pause for thought because everyone values privacy, they just find it hard to picture themselves needing it. Curtains.

Yes! My mistake!

Can’t believe I pulled a Gorman. Edited previous post.

I honestly have been blown away by how cinematic the 4K Blu-ray experience is. The new Dune ones are on the list to get. I’d say they’re great. Lord of the rings too.

I’m up to 7 in my collection now and definitely will be continuing to add to it.

No OLED here yet but next TV I will definitely pony up the extra for it.

Hahaha. That’s a great little nugget.

She has the most iconic line from my youth.

I got gifted a 4K Blu-ray player for Christmas. Immediately bought Aliens (my favourite movie of all time) then sat down with my older kids to watch it with popcorn etc.

There was such a buzz in the room when she delivered that line.

Have to recommend the 4K Blu-ray experience if you’re a fan. The detail honestly shocked me.

Edit:

I mean next to Ripley, the android and the little girl, she’s the most memorable character in that movie.

The casting is great.

I think Paul Riser did a great job as the slimy company man Burke. He was very believable.

Michael Bien was great as Hudson Hicks too. The exchange between himself, Ripley and Burke about nuking the site was great.

Ireland ticks most of your boxes. If any of your grandparents are Irish you can get dual citizenship. English speaking and lots of cultural crossover etc.

Closer for trips back too. Think it’s only a 5 hour flight to New York for example.

Irish. Trying to muster one fuck to give but just can’t manage it unfortunately.

Side note: She’s a great actress.

Not a single, even barely moderate tune on it. Bangers all the way.

When they got banned, we got stuck with paper ones for 25c

Cheeky bastards! We had a single use for €0.25 for a while but that’s long gone. Paper bags are still free. They’re generally small unless you’re buying clothes or whatever. You definitely wouldn’t be bagging the weekly shop with them but most places offer free boxes from the shelf stocking leftovers.

They also released $15 “washable paper bags” that I don’t understand who is the target audience.

Very, very rich people is the answer. Surely the amount of energy to wash one is not that far off a fresh paper bag.

You say that now but that sounds exactly like every fucker I’ve ever heard with a hangover saying “Jaysus, Mary and Joseph and all his carpenter friends I’m never touching a pint again.”

As my father used to say “hunger is good sauce”.

Four pints in and no dinner I’d gobble that down. GOBBLE IT. Best sandwich I’ve ever had at that point I’d wager.

That is cuntish. Where was that?

I accept that 100%. I’ve seen a decent bit the US and it’s such an enormous lump of land with so many different people and cultures that anyone trying to lump them together into some homogenous mass is off their rocker.

Sure you can travel an hour on a train in Europe and be in a totally different world culturally. The distance for those changes is bigger in the US but holy moly do they exist.
