It's a reflection. The projector shines through glass, causing a reflection to the back wall of the booth. This reflection can be seen in the window from where I'm sat. PHYSICS!

Thank god you explained that. I had no idea how reflections worked and thought it far more likely that a woman actually had a screen implanted in her skull.

It'd lead to an interesting issue where if I slowly replaced bits of myself with robot parts, how much of my mind would have to be code for me not to be considered human?

No, you completely see him landing on his feet.

No trickery involved.

Well, he sensed he was going to fall and fixed it. Clearly.

I wanna find the video from which the ‘dance’ giphy was created. How can I do that?

It's Natalia Tena from Game of Thrones. Her band is called Molotov Jukebox so I guess it's one of their videos.

Giphy labels it as "Morena Baccarin" because someone doesn't have any eyes.

Managed to pick up a Hitachi 4k 50" LED TV for the new house for £330, which I'm pretty pleased about.

I've just scandalised a middle aged admin lady by responding to the question " are you looking forward to Christmas?" with an honest "no, not really"

People really shouldn't be asking open questions they actually only want/expect one answer to.

You should have followed up with: "I'm looking forward to CHRIIIIIISSSSTMMAAAAAAASSSSSS."

Zardoz · **Posted:** Thu Nov 30, 2017 16:09

Your answer should have been.

"It'll be lonely, this Christmas, without you, to hold."

Warhead · Noob as of 6/8/10

She got off lightly. If she'd asked me, she'd have received the full rant about the commercialization, the crap on TV, having to put up with family members you'd rather see face down in a ditch, ..... .I could go on, but I need a lie down already.

myp · **Posted:** Thu Nov 30, 2017 18:35

I like the buildup to Christmas much more than the actual day, I think.

Jem · **Posted:** Thu Nov 30, 2017 19:03

I like this time of year. Not done much in the way of prep this year though - going to be buying presents on Christmas Eve at this rate.

She got off lightly, Aegon (financial company, don't know if they are also in the UK) made the mistake of asking me what I thought of their recent service

A few minutes ago the radio announcer said 'And here's some Messiahs for you...' . This has amused me more than a list of events probably should.

I slept in for 3 hours today. My alarm goes off at 5:40am and went off for 45 minutes without me hearing it and I eventually woke up at 8:40am in a blind panic.

I am now confused as fuck and still tired but at least I am pushing gender boundaries by wearing lady deodorant because my stupid push up stick thing snapped in a rush.

MaliA · **Posted:** Fri Dec 01, 2017 12:04

Lady deodorant often better as it is commonly odourless.

This is the one I use to mask the smell of a particularly egregious shit, so it has somewhat odd connotations for me.

If you're Leeds way, again, by the by, and fancy a beer, hit me up.

I'm there every fortnight picking up and dropping off the youngling but it's usually a fleeting visit.

Having said that late afternoon one Sunday for a swift one before returning back is more than feasible?

A friend of mine has two Google Homes in his house. I was amazed that you can say "OK Google.. Broadcast.." and then whatever you say next, will be played out of the other Home on the network. Ace!

Can you put them next to each other and set up a catastrophic feedback loop?
